A French president’s interruption at a Nairobi summit exposed more than diplomatic arrogance; it revealed the lingering psychology of empire dressed in the language of “equal partnership.” Behind the spectacle of green investment pledges and startup rhetoric lies a deeper struggle over African sovereignty, debt dependency, military influence, and the geopolitical restructuring of imperial power in an increasingly multipolar world. As France loses ground across West Africa and the Sahel, Nairobi has emerged as a key terrain in the battle to reorganize neocolonial influence through finance, technology, security cooperation, and climate-development branding. Yet across Kenya, Africa, and the wider Global South, a new generation of anti-imperialist and Pan-African movements is beginning to challenge the old colonial architecture beneath its modernized facade.

SHANGHAI – China’s powerhouse moves on like a speed-breaking EV. The atmosphere is electric. At a business dinner in a landmark Cantonese restaurant, Trump’s visit to China at least propels the conversation towards something more tangible: the conflicting paths for future generations from the West down to the East.

France 24 frames the Beijing summit as a poker match between rival strongmen, masking the deeper structures of imperial crisis, technological warfare, and geopolitical coercion beneath the spectacle. Beneath the summit theater lies a dense architecture of sanctions, military encirclement, semiconductor conflict, rare earth dependency, and unresolved sovereignty struggles stretching from Taiwan to the Strait of Hormuz. The real story is not simply China’s growing leverage, but the unraveling stability of a unipolar system increasingly unable to reproduce its dominance over global production, energy circulation, and technological infrastructure. Across the world, emerging anti-imperialist movements and multipolar solidarity networks are beginning to resist the New Cold War and challenge the casino logic of empire itself.

Robert Kagan does not write pieces like this.
Kagan helped found the Project for the New American Century, the think tank that laid the ideological groundwork for the 2003 invasion of Iraq. He is married to Victoria Nuland, the State Department official who helped orchestrate the 2014 coup in Ukraine. He has spent his career arguing that U.S. military dominance is the basis of world order — and that Washington should use it.

Today is International Nurses Day. It’s a day that exists to recognise and celebrate the contributions that nurses make to society. Sadly, for so many nurses across the NHS, there is not much cause for celebration right now. They are underpaid, overworked, and overwhelmed. |

Historian Ian Kershaw titled the two volumes of his definitive biography of Adolf Hitler, ‘Hubris’ and ‘Nemesis’. (Allen Lane, 1998 and 2000)
Inevitably, it seems, great power comes with great hubris. For a brief, glorious moment, brick walls appear as doorways, everything seems possible. Nemesis lies in wait.

This investigation excavates how Associated Press reporting frames U.S.-Israeli coercion as diplomacy while presenting Iranian sovereignty as instability and defiance. It reconstructs the omitted legal, geopolitical, and economic terrain surrounding the war, exposing the contradiction between the UN Charter system and the operational reality of imperial power. It reframes the conflict as part of a broader struggle over sovereignty, technological development, sanctions warfare, and the declining legitimacy of U.S. global domination. Finally, it advances a program of anti-imperialist organization and international solidarity aimed at resisting war, blockade, sanctions, and the normalization of permanent coercion against nations of the Global South.

People with disabilities are not marginal to society but central to it – and the injustices they face reveal the failures of a world that treats human dignity as subordinate to profit.
