BATUK: BRITAIN'S COLONIAL GRIP IN KENYA

BATUK: The White Man’s Burden in Kenya is not just a documentary about a British military base where soldiers roll around in the dirt for six months before returning home to the UK. It is a documentary about abuse of power, occupation of indigenous land and the unfinished business of colonialism.

For decades, ordinary Kenyans living around BATUK have raised allegations of abuse, sexual violence, ecological destruction and impunity, while one of the world’s most powerful former colonial powers continues to operate freely on Kenyan soil, handing out small amounts of compensation whenever evidence of alleged crimes reaches the media.

At the centre of the documentary is the story of Agnes Wanjiru, a 21-year-old Kenyan woman who was tortured, killed and dumped in a septic tank, while British soldiers mocked and ridiculed her death on social media. One soldier posed in front of the septic tank and posted, “If you know, you know.” Others joked about the five-month-old daughter she left behind, posting imagery of a baby beside a gravesite.

But the story goes beyond Agnes and her tragic killing and the shocking behaviour of British troops thereafter. The documentary asks deeper questions:

How did Britain maintain a military presence in Kenya, the very same year the country supposedly gained independence?

Why are foreign troops still training on stolen land while local communities continue to suffer?

And above all, why does the Kenyan government allow all of this?

Laikipia County, currently in the spotlight because of plans for an Ebola quarantine facility for US citizens, is the very same county where the BATUK military base is headquartered. This documentary helps connect the dots about why Kenya’s political elite remain so willing to cede sovereignty to foreign powers like Britain, and why they may be willing to do the same again with the United States.

GHANAIANS FIGHT AGAINST US DEFENCE AGREEMENT - PART 3

Pan-Africanist Dhoruba Bin Wahad (former Black Panther Party Leader) and other voices reaffirm solidarity with the Socialist Movement of Ghana and emphasize that African destiny must be shaped by Africans themselves.

Speakers note the West’s geopolitical interests and military involvement in African conflicts such as Ethiopia and Sudan, underscoring that Western military logistics in Ghana threaten regional stability, especially regarding Ghana’s border with the landlocked Alliance of Sahel States (AES) – consisting of Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger. Ghana’s geopolitical position and its proximity to Nigeria’s oil reserves make it a focal point for foreign strategic ambitions.

Activists repeatedly assert the insult and neo-colonial nature of the 2018 US-Ghana Defence Cooperation Agreement (DCA), which allows US forces to enter Ghana without visas or passport checks, enjoy immunity, and act with impunity.

The assembly expresses resolute optimism in ultimate victory against such agreements, invoking historic liberation struggles and a vision of African self-reliance and dignity.

This forum at the Freedom Centre in Accra represents a significant catalyst in Ghana’s civil society efforts to reclaim sovereignty over national security policy, consistent with broader Pan-Africanist aspirations and anti-imperialist ideology. The ongoing activism reflects deep concern about the implications of foreign military agreements on Ghana’s autonomy and future.

GONE TOO SOON: REMEMBERING JAVITS FRIMPONG

The people of the Bronx, New York, the global Ghanaian diaspora, and immigrant communities are all in a state of shock and grief at the loss of Javits Frimpong, a 15-year-old boy who was killed on 29 October 2026 near his home and school.

Frimpong was an immigrant from Ghana who had arrived in the US one year and one day before his murder. Thomas Frimpong, Javits' father, is convinced that his son's death is linked to bullying.

Three days prior to the murder, two students were suspended from DreamYard Preparatory for bullying Javits. Some online worry that anti-immigrant or anti-African xenophobia may be a primary motive in the murder of this teen. The killers of Javits Frimpong and their motives are currently not known. However, Thomas Frimpong insists that his son was quiet, hardworking, and studious and that he did not know many people in New York.

His classmates have come out to demonstrate against his murder, and some have made positive remarks about Frimpong's character.

IS UKRAINE TRAINING A UAE-BACKED MILITIA ACCUSED OF GENOCIDE IN SUDAN?

"These Ukrainians are the ones training the [UAE-backed] Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia on the use of drones," declared Sudanese Foreign Minister Mohieldin Salem, in comments to Russian outlet Sputnik Africa.

Speaking during the the Third Russia-Africa Summit in Moscow, Salem added that Sudan has "conclusive and material evidence" that Ukrainian snipers and trainers are assisting a militia that the UN has accused of g*nocide.

"Some of them were captured, some of them were k*lled, and some weapons were seized," Salem said.

Pursuing accountability for foreign state aggression, Salem stated that Sudan has escalated the matter across international diplomatic channels, ranging from the UN Security Council to senior US officials.

"[Last year] I was part of a delegation in Washington. We handed over to the Americans many pieces of evidence and documents confirming the use of American weapons leaked from Ukraine and elsewhere," Salem said.

The involvement of Ukrainian personnel demonstrates the escalating global network of complicity in the UAE's war on Sudan.

Investigative reports have exposed Colombian mercenaries deployed to the RSF via the UAE.

On Sudan's eastern border, the RSF relies on neighbouring Ethiopia as a critical launchpad, hosting Emirati-financed training camps, arms shipments, and bases for cross-border drone strikes against Sudan's power grid.

On Sudan's western border, RSF military supplies continue to transit through eastern Chad.

The foreign minister's disclosures underscore how foreign networks continue to fuel the UAE's war on Sudan, driving the RSF's g*nocidal campaigns and devastating Sudan’s infrastructure while evading global accountability mechanisms.
