A staunch Journalist, Ohene Anochie challenges readers to reconsider the boundaries between domestic slavery and colonialism, arguing that both systems are based on similar structures of oppression and exploitation. Anochie’s article, which has sparked widespread debate, contends that the legacy of colonial rule continues to be replicated in modern forms of subjugation within African societies, particularly through internal systems of exploitation and oppression. Anochie begins by pointing out that while colonialism is universally condemned for its role in stripping Africa of its resources and undermining local cultures, domestic slavery remains a somewhat taboo subject that is seldom criticized with…

The frustration among Africa’s youth towards their political leaders has reached a boiling point. Many young Africans feel abandoned, believing that their leaders are indifferent to their plight and even take pleasure in their struggles. This sentiment reflects a disturbing trend where those in power seem more interested in maintaining their grip on authority than in advancing the welfare of their nations. Across the continent, high unemployment rates, lack of affordable housing, and limited access to quality healthcare and education have left millions of young Africans struggling. While leaders speak of ambitious visions for national development and pan-African unity,…

Flash floods in eastern Spain swept away cars, turned village streets into rivers, cut rail lines and highways and killed at least 95 people in the worst natural disaster to hit the European nation in recent memory. Storms that began Tuesday and continued Wednesday caused flooding across a wide swathe of southern and eastern Spain, from Malaga to Valencia. Mud-colored water swept vehicles down streets at dangerous speeds. Pieces of wood floated among household goods. Police and rescue workers used helicopters to evacuate people from their homes and rubber boats to reach drivers trapped on car roofs. Emergency…

Hezbollah’s newly named leader Naim Kassem said in his first public comments aired Wednesday that the militant group will keep fighting in its ongoing war with Israel until it is offered cease-fire terms it deems acceptable. “If the Israelis decide to stop the aggression, we say that we accept, but according to the conditions that we see as suitable,” Kassem said, speaking from an undisclosed location in a pre-recorded televised address. “We will not beg for a cease fire as we will continue (fighting)… no matter how long it takes.” The speech came as international mediators have launched a new…

The United States and other mediators are ramping up efforts to halt the wars in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip, circulating new proposals to wind down the regional conflict during the Biden administration’s final months. Negotiations on both fronts have been stalled for months and none of the warring parties have shown any sign of backing down from their demands.

CIA Director Bill Burns will go to Egypt to…

Trump got off his plane in Green Bay, Wisconsin and got into a white garbage truck decked out with American flags and his campaign logo. He took questions while seated in the passenger seat of the truck, wearing a neon orange safety vest over his white dress shirt and red tie, evoking his recent McDonald’s photo opportunity.”How do you like my garbage truck?” Trump said, adding it’s “in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden.” AMN | Anochie’s Report | Associated Press.

When asked what she thinks of Trump supporters, Holly Meyer, of Madison, Wisconsin, chuckled. “I’m a lady,” the 65-year-old said with a laugh, while waiting for Harris at a rally in Madison. “I’m baffled by how they can support someone like him.” Meyer said she knows some Trump supporters and “they probably say the same thing about me.” “They don’t want to listen,” she said. Meyer said for her sanity, she mostly tries not to engage. She said Trump used the term “garbage” first and Biden “was just throwing it back at him.” Jeanne Cargill, 61, a retired worker for…

Trump distanced himself from a comedian whose joke disparaging Puerto Rico set off a firestorm, but he did not denounce the remark referring to the territory as a “floating island of garbage.”“I don’t know anything about the comedian,” Trump told reporters in Green Bay, Wisconsin. “I don’t know who he is. I’ve never seen him. I heard he made a statement, but it was a statement that he made. He’s a comedian, what can I tell you. I know nothing about him. ”Trump made the comment while seated in the passenger seat of a garbage truck, hoping to draw…

Halloween has plenty of traditions, from candy to jack-o’-lanterns and the annual spectacle of Heidi Klum’s costume. The supermodel-turned-TV personality is fond of surprising her guests with her elaborate costumes, like in 2022, when she arrived at the event on the end of a fishing line, encased in a slithering worm costume. “I just wanted to be something random,” she explained while lying on the floor for maximum worm-like effect. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone being a rain worm before.” Last year, she enlisted the help of several Cirque du Soleil performers as the tail feathers to her peacock…
