Russia to Unlock Africa’s ‘Huge Potential’ – Lavrov
Russia is committed to unlocking the full potential of cooperation with African countries, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said. Speaking at the Second Ministerial Conference of the Russia-Africa Partnership Forum in Cairo on Saturday, he said ties between Moscow and African nations are steadily expanding.
“Russian-African partnership is developing steadily across all areas, with substantive and trusting political dialogue continuing at the highest levels,” Lavrov said at the opening plenary session, noting that trade with Africa rose 13% last year to nearly $28 billion. He added that economic cooperation and humanitarian ties are strengthening. “This is far from the limit. We are committed to fully unlocking the huge potential of our practical cooperation.”
Lavrov said Moscow has invited African partners to explore opportunities in the country’s markets, highlighting strong prospects for boosting trade with sub-Saharan countries by building direct links with Russian counterparts.
He added that Moscow sees national-currency settlement mechanisms with African countries as key to “ensuring stable trade and economic transactions and protecting investments,” noting a steady rise in the share of ruble settlements in mutual trade. – RT
Our Take: When Sergei Lavrov says that “Russia is unlocking Africa’s huge potential,” what he means is that Russia military and paramilitary (Wagner Group) forces are liberating the African people from colonial oppression.
What stands in their way is not only transnational cartels, like the Israeli diamond cartel, as well as the CIA, MI6, Mossad, NATO, the UN, the EU, and a galaxy of NGO’s and proxy militia groups like ISIS and M23.
Simply put, Africa is the chessboard where the Sovereign War is playing out, kinetically. – GhostofBasedPatrickHenry

🚨🇺🇸🇪🇺THE U.S. JUST SANCTIONED EUROPEAN CENSORSHIP FIGURES - THIS IS A MAJOR SHIFT
For years, American tech platforms have faced relentless pressure from European regulators, NGOs, and so-called “disinformation watchdogs” demanding they police speech that would be fully legal under the First Amendment.
Now, the U.S. government is pushing back, hard.
In a dramatic escalation, Under Secretary of State Sarah B. Rogers announced a new wave of visa sanctions against foreign actors accused of orchestrating or enabling censorship of Americans. The move directly targets what the Trump administration is calling the "censorship-industrial complex."
These aren't just symbolic names. Among the sanctioned:
– Thierry Breton, the architect of the EU’s Digital Services Act, which Rogers says was used to threaten Elon Musk directly over content on X.
– Imran Ahmed, head of the Center for Countering Digital Hate, a group that worked closely with U.S. agencies and the Biden White House to pressure platforms into silencing dissenting voices.
– Clare Melford, CEO of the Global Disinformation Index, a UK-based group that blacklists websites for ad revenue under vague claims of “hate speech.”
– Anna-Lena von Hodenberg, founder of HateAid, a German NGO with formal censorship powers under EU law as a “trusted flagger.”
These sanctions aren’t financial, yet. But they send a message: the U.S. will no longer tolerate foreign attempts to suppress American speech under the guise of “safety” or “misinformation.”
Why does this matter?
Because for years, European laws and NGOs have functioned as a backdoor to censorship, pressuring American companies to remove lawful U.S. speech or face regulatory punishment overseas.
The result? American citizens are having their voices silenced by foreign actors operating through complex transatlantic influence networks.
And in many cases, they’ve had help from inside the U.S. government itself.
Rogers hinted at that too, writing:
“Our targets are foreign, but you'll notice that some collaborated with U.S. bureaucrats on Murthy-style speech suppression... we're pursuing transparency, truth, and reconciliation at the State Department, too.”
This isn’t just a foreign policy move. It’s a fundamental defense of the First Amendment on the global stage.
It marks a strategic shift: American free speech rights are no longer just domestic concerns, they’re now an issue of foreign policy.
If these sanctions expand, or deepen into financial penalties under the Magnitsky framework, the ripple effects could reshape how censorship networks operate globally.
It also draws a new red line: You don’t get to regulate American speech from Brussels, Berlin, or London.
The Trump administration is making it clear, censorship is now a geopolitical issue. And America is no longer playing defense.

For far too long, ideologues in Europe have led organized efforts to coerce American platforms to punish American viewpoints they oppose. The Trump Administration will no longer tolerate these egregious acts of extraterritorial censorship.
Today, @StateDept will take steps to bar leading figures of the global censorship-industrial complex from entering the United States. We stand ready and willing to expand this list if others do not reverse course.
