Demanding the release of Venezuela’s President Nicolás #Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores, South Africa’s largest trade union marched to the US consulate in Johannesburg on Saturday, January 24.

“In defending Venezuela, we defend the sovereignty of all nations,” concluded the memorandum read aloud outside the consulate by Irvin Jim, general secretary of the over 460,000 members-strong National #Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (NUMSA).

“It is Venezuela today … It will be South Africa tomorrow,” Jim warned in his address to the demonstration. US President Donald Trump, who has bombed parts of #Nigeria after concocting a false story about a “Christian Genocide” in the country, has also been spinning tales about a “White Genocide” underway in South Africa.

“This is not a joke,” NUMSA warned in a statement. “Donald Trump can easily use the lie of a White genocide in South Africa to invade South Africa, capture South Africa’s president and transport him to a jail in the US, and declare that he is now in charge of our country and all its natural wealth, whilst controlling all trade and natural wealth … After the #US criminal military invasion of #Venezuela, it is foolish to ignore” this threat to #SouthAfrica. https://www.newsclick.in/its-venezuela-today-it-will-be-south-africa-tomorrow-warns-its-largest-tu

Theory: I believe #Nigeria 🇳🇬 was a test for #Trump to the world.

While Nigeria 🇳🇬 opted to work with #America 🇺🇸, Mexico 🇲🇽 has refused to allow the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸 to launch missiles into their territory.

👉🏾 Trump suggests U.S. military will hit cartels on ‘land’ in Mexico https://www.cnbc.com/2026/01/09/trump-us-military-cartels-mexico-land.html

If there is weak push back from the world, I suspect Trump will target #Cuba 🇨🇺 next, which will be a mini test for taking #Greenland 🇬🇱 this year in 2026 (yes, I seriously think Trump will invade).

But beyond the science, the disappearance of harmattan has social and economic implications. Farmers rely on seasonal patterns to plan cultivation cycles. A disrupted harmattan can affect soil moisture, pest behaviour and crop yields. Public health is also affected. While harmattan often brings respiratory challenges, extreme heat introduces its own dangers: dehydration, heat stress and worsening cardiovascular conditions, especially among the elderly & children

this post is also about #Venezuela.

with the #genocide in #Gaza taking its course and their methane fields (aka natural gas) in the bag, the petromafia won’t stop at #Maduro.

they will crank up the other genocide, #SouthSudan, in preparation to invading #Nigeria and capturing their Moby Dick, #Iran

spring isn't the time to shut down the United States.

the time is now.

Nigerian police said the driver of the vehicle involved in a crash that injured British boxer Anthony Joshua and killed two of his close ​friends was charged with causing death by dangerous driving. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2026/01/03/more-sports/driver-charged-joshua-crash/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #moresports #anthonyjoshua #nigeria

Former world heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua was in a "stable condition" in hospital after a car accident in Nigeria that killed two close friends and associates, his promoter announced on Monday. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/12/30/more-sports/anthony-joshua-car-crash/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #moresports #anthonyjoshua #nigeria

I do not know why my country, Nigeria, has caught Trump's eye. Obviously I'm not buying his lie that he's a crusader for Christianity, but I suspect that that might be something to do with it. The US Right has held Nigeria up as an example of the "Christian genocide" for years, so maybe he's playing to that crowd.

I'm not jumping to the conclusion that it's oil. America and Nigeria produce similar oil types; in fact, Nigeria is a net importer of US oil, not exporter.

NIgeria may averted unilateral U.S. action by cooperating on the airstrike, but experts say it is unclear whether such strikes can do much to hinder Islamist militants. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/12/27/world/nigeria-us-strike-experts/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #nigeria #us #islamicstate #terrorism #donaldtrump

Residents of Jabo, a village in the NY Nigerian state of Sokoto, told AP Friday that they were seized with panic & confusion at the airstrikes.

They also said the village had never been attacked by armed gangs as part of the violence the #US says is widespread, though such attacks regularly occur in neighboring villages.

“As it approached our area, the heat became intense,” recalled Abubakar Sani, who lives just a few houses from the scene of the explosion.
