Ukraine: Washington has become Kremlin’s bitch [Proof: The Seven Point Peace Plan]

Trump’s Seven Point Plan for Peace in Ukraine:

“1. An immediate ceasefire in Ukraine

2. Direct talks to start between Ukraine and Russia

3. Ukraine to be barred from joining Nato

4. US to formally recognise Russian sovereignty over annexed Crimea

5. US to give de-facto recognition of four occupied Ukrainian territories along current lines of control

6. Ukraine to sign minerals deal to share profits on natural resources with the US companies

7. All US sanctions to be lifted on Moscow and countries to co-operate on energy”

The leaked Seven Point Peace Plan from the Trump Administration, as the London Peace Summit is commencing. There is a stark reminder of how the U.S. is now aligned in the United Nations and voting in coordination with Russian interests there. That has been done on two occasions and becoming “modus operandi”.

Just like Washington D.C. can humiliate, ridicule and bully Kyiv. That would never happen to Kremlin or President Vladimir Putin. We have seen how the President Trump and Vice President Vance has acted in regards to Ukraine President Zelensky. That’s been obvious and the meeting in the Oval Office proved the shift.

The leak of the Seven Point Plan is just giving two ordinary technicalities in the two first points, which are very standard in conflict. The others are points are directly giving Kremlin and Putin an upper-hand in regard to Ukraine. This is giving Moscow a stop of hostilities, ability to rebuild, restructure and return when they have momentum again. Because, the U.S. is offering Ukraine nothing and only taking away the future from Ukraine. It is selling territories and possibility of joining a defensive pact, which safeguards the Republic. Alas, that is a win for Russia.

President Trump is serving Ukraine on a platter here. Thinking Ukraine is so weak that it can not only sell its territories and a possible future in the NATO. It can also take away it’s sovereign control of minerals and energy. That’s what the U.S. wants. It wants not only take Ukraine for granted and expect it too surrender, but also sell its future without any guarantees. That’s isn’t a bargain, but a net total loss.

Kyiv doesn’t deserve this. Trump and the U.S. shows they are aligned with Russia now. It isn’t even done cleverly or covertly. This is directly giving way to Russia and allowing them to takeover whatever they want. It isn’t respecting the sovereignty of Ukraine, but letting the imperial Russia get their way. That’s what is going on. It isn’t surprising after seeing how the U.S. have been voting together with Russia in the United Nations. So, this is following a pattern and we can see there is no love lost between Washington and Kyiv.

That’s why Kyiv have to and needs closer bonds with Europe. Europe and European Union needs to get close. The Americans cannot be trusted anymore. They are now in a shadow alliance with Russia. That is the inevitable here and only a matter of time before they make it official. Trump is reckless and don’t care about history or about ramifications of it. No, he only cares about his relations to Putin and what sort of shady backroom arrangements he has made. Because he want to be sure that it’s “paid in full”. That’s how it looks like…

Trump and his allies think they can “bully” Ukraine into submission. I don’t think so. This war was supposed to last three days and here we are still discussing it three years after. The conflict started with annexation over a decade ago and the Russians supported separatists in Donbas for a long time before the invasion three years ago. That’s when the full scale conflict happened and the gamble of Putin hasn’t paid off. Now Trump is giving him a helping hand and it isn’t even subtle. Peace.

Burundi: CNIDH President Nimuraba fled into exile

“Bujumbura, April 22, 2025 – The Burundian political scene is shaken by what appears to be a new financial and political scandal. President of the Independent National Commission for Human Rights (CNIDH), Dr Sixte Vigny Nimuraba, reportedly left the country with his family over the past weekend, according to several matching sources” (SOS Medias Burundi, 22.04.2025).

The President of CNIDH who has been in office since April 14. 2019 and was renewed for another 5 years in office in 2023. So, we know this man was accepted by the authorities and was one of them. As he wasn’t challenging them and kept there by them.

Télé Renaissance reports: “According to Denis Ndayishemeza, vice president of FOCODE, this situation raises questions about the real independence of these institutions, both in their structure and in their actions. Regarding the future of the Independent National Commission for Human Rights (CNIDH), he believes that nothing will change: the current power will appoint a new leader to head it, but Burundians must not expect anything. For him, it is now clear that this commission acts under the direct authority of the regime” (Télé Renaissance, 23.04.2025).

The CNDD-FDD have now found another one to target and someone they could blame. Certainly, the authorities and the government didn’t like what he did or what sort of reports he kept. That’s why he had to flee, as there must have been some real reason for him fleeing and leaving into exile.

Now the former respected leader and regarded person who was acknowledged and was able to participate abroad as a delegate of the Republic of Burundi. That man is now in danger and in refuge. Him and his whole family are now on the run.

That’s how oppressive the regime of CNDD-FDD is and what sort of levels of intimidation it has on people. There is no holding back and the former head of CNIDH knows what the state does, and this is why he fled. He knew his life was at risk and the best way to survive was to leave.

This is telling story and says a lot about the civic space, liberties and freedoms within Burundi. When a man like him must go into exile. That’s what was left and his only choice. Because if he stayed, he knew he would not only be in trouble, but it could be his final demise. Peace.

Zimbabwe: Is “Bombshell” the only hope in the Republic?

“Emmerson and his apologists can call me names, I do not care, I’m determined to change the lives of Zimbabweans for the better and that I will do. Calling me a terrorist will never stop me from challenging bad governance, corruption, nepotism and gross incompetence, Zimbabwe does not belong to him, it belongs to us all so we must equally be beneficiaries of its natural resources. I am also prepared to pay whatever price for whatever I’m doing for the betterment of our nation, isu vamwe takafa kudhara so threatening me will never move me an inch away from executing my mandate as a liberation war hero- asante sana” – Comrade Blessed Geza (23.04.2025).

“Militant war veterans’ leader Blessed “Bombshell” Geza has warned citizens that they might become collateral damage if there is an exchange of gunfire between security forces sympathetic to him and those guarding the corrupt individuals they intend to confront” (The Harare Times, 23.04.2025).

Today is the second day of shutdowns, which haven’t been totally or worked completely. There are several factors for that, and one is that people cannot afford to stay home and not work. They cannot afford to stay home and not go out to get paid. The poverty and living day-to-day costs them. Therefore, the M31 Movement have failed here.

The War Veteran and former loyalist of ZANU-PF, Comrade Blessed “Bombshell” Geza knows how the state operates, and he shouldn’t be shocked by it. The defiance and the new resistance against it come out of personal interests and such. It is hard to know what sort of gambit “Bombshell” has and for what reason.

Is Bombshell doing this to ensure Gen. Constantino Chiwenga becomes the successor of the President? Are there personal grievances in regard to Emmerson Mnangagwa?

That’s how it looks, as it only happened as he was ousted and lost his pivotal role. His now a firebrand renegade and sending out signals to the nation. He is asking for a National Shutdown of two days. Yesterday and today, after the March 31 one didn’t go to well and the huge protest didn’t appear. People stayed home that day and now they aren’t even doing that. Because the people cannot do so, and they are worried about their livelihood.

We should understand the ones who see the hope and wants Geza to succeed. That’s because there is little hope left, and the people have tricked by charlatans so many times. People looking like opposition and people who wants change. However, the moment they get into office. They start to work with the ZANU-PF anyway. Therefore, Geza is maybe a sign and on a reasonable quest.

Bombshell is maybe working for the betterment of the Republic and his challenging the status quo. That is necessary as the CCC is a smokescreen and the MDC-T or MDC-A is gone too. There is little to anything that is organized to disrupt and create tension with the state. As the MPs and the elected leadership aren’t capable or powerless to compete with the ZANU-PF.

Blessed Geza is shaking things up, but it’s hard to see him succeed. Unless, the people and the citizens all joins in on it. His maybe doing it for personal reasons, because it came out of nowhere. We can just wonder how this will play out, but this is a process and we have to wonder when it is enough. When the people are to tired and angry. That’s when Bombshell’s signal will matter. That’s when it will explode and the authorities cannot turn back the clock. Peace.

South Sudan: Time for the IG to recognize that they are the problem

“The one who sets fire to the forest cannot complain when the smoke chokes him” – African Proverb

The SPLM-IG has to consider what it is doing and before it is to late. Do they want Juba to burn and tanks in the streets? Does the SPLM-IG to have full fledged war and conflict on its hands?

They are soon there and the President are waling directly into the flames that he set on fire. The flames are soon out of control and he cannot complain about the smoke it has created. The dust isn’t settled and this is only the beginning. Wil he do this so he and his successor will rule over the ashes?

Is that the game President Salva Kiir Mayardit and VP Benjamin Bol Mel wants?

I’m just asking, because there is no proof of any sincerity or will to turn the clock back. There is no proof or evidence of a will silence the guns. Instead “the Silent Guardian” is attacking and bombing civilians. The UPDF is a willing tool to destroy, deplete and silence the rebellions of the nation. They are attacking them on behalf of the state. That’s what the state is doing and the IG should see what it is doing on their accord.

This is who the IG is and what they willing to do. Soon they are waging war on a massive spectrum. Not only against a rebellion and an armed insurgency against the Naath White Army. The SSPDF and UPDF are soon attacking SPLM-IO cantonment across the Republic. As they are already doing it again and the IO tells civilians to flee to safety. That’s what they are doing, meanwhile the IG will vilify the IO and anyone else who opposes it.

The IG should be careful. It is lighting a fire and I don’t know if they know how to stop it or if they want to even. There has been nothing in the wind or indications of anyone wanting to fetch water or even find measures to contain the fire. No, they just light up the forest and hoping nobody would notice. Seriously, is this who you are?

J-1 failed the Nuer and people of Nasir county. That is proven already, the bombings and usage of chemical weapons is a proof of how the state lost their way. This is what they did to civilians and to prove a point who was their master. That’s what the IG told the people here and the people have seen it now. So, the IG shouldn’t expect much or praise for their actions, as the Nasir will bury their own and know these liberators of Juba aren’t there to save them, but to send them into an early grave.

It is time for J-1 and such to listen. They need to act carefully and be calm. Nevertheless, when they decide the weapons and ammunition is the way out. That’s when you know they are lighting the fire and with no intent to stop it. They might blame the victims and the ones who get burned by fire. Nevertheless, they brought this on themselves and everyone else. They did it and these flames are their fault. That’s the reality here…

IG should know better, they have been here before, but now we as they are slowly walking into the ashes. We can just await the burials and the shallow graves, because some men just wants to consolidate power and rule over the souls that’s here no more. Peace.

Burkina Faso: Captain Ibrahim Traoré survives another coup attempt

“The Burkinabé people remain resolute and united behind President Ibrahim Traoré, whose leadership continues to command overwhelming support in our fight against insecurity and external manipulation” – Minister of Security Mahamadou Sana (21.04.2025).

“Joanny Compaoré, Damiba, Djibril Bassolé are the masterminds of this umpteenth coup d’état foiled by the president of the National Council of State Security, Commander Oumarou Yabre. These stateless mercenaries, concerned about the fate of their imperialist allies and the well-being of their fellow citizens, would have embarked on disastrous projects against the nation to please France and its lackeys in Côte d’Ivoire. This stateless Joanny Compaoré, former commander dismissed from the national army and dismissed from his position as director of SONABHY and his mercenary acolytes who collaborate hand in hand with the terrorists, thought they would succeed in their coup without being worried” (Le Message Libre – ‘Burkina Faso: Coup attempt foiled, patriotic people remain mobilized against stateless people and their imperialist allies’ 18.04.2025).

Last week on the 16^th April 2025 there was plans to overthrow Captain Ibrahim Traoré, the Mouvement Patriotique pour la Sauvegarde et la Restauration (MPSR) Transitional Government, which have postponed elections and a civilian transition. As the junta consolidate power and ensure longevity of its reign.

Captain Traoré after taking power on the 30^th September 2022. Waited all the way to the May 2024 before signing a decree giving himself an additional five years in office. That would give him 7 years without elections or any sort of electoral road-map. It is just a blessing and given that his the ruler now.

That Captain Traoré is feeling the heat isn’t anything new. The junta leader has to look over his shoulders and hope that he has trustworthy allies surrounding him. As there been several attempts of overthrowing him. There been several attempts, assassination plots and even mutinies within the army. Therefore, the backers and stakeholders supporting it has used all means to get rid of him, but never succeeding.

The captain should pray to his lucky star that there are peoople like Oumarou Yabre who are willing and is saving his career. The likes of Yabre is the reason why the Captain can be the Commander-in-Chief and the Head of State. People like him keeps him in office and does it out of their duty. That loyalty and the sort of dedication is needed to safeguard the throne.

This isn’t the first or the last. It feels like the 20^th or maybe even 30^th attempt by now. It has been so common and steady. That not writing about it feels like fever dream. The captain has to accept that his walking on a thin line and can easily fall. If he slips or have a moment of weakness, that could mean his end. There are enough knives out and that’s why he needs the likes of Yabre surrounding him. Those are the sort of character that will save his day. That is the lesson here and people should recognize that. Peace.

South Sudan: IO starting their defence protocol – One more step closer to a full-scale civil war

“The SPLA-IO would like to inform the peace loving people of South Sudan, the Region and the International Community that since the illegal arrest of its Chief of General Staff Lt. Gen. Gabriel Duop Lam and the subsequent arrest of its Commander in Chief, H.E. Riek Machar Teny Dhurgon (PHD) who is also the FVP of the Republic of South Sudan, the SSPDF and their allies continued with aggression against the SPLA-IO positions and civilians in its territory without restraint. The SPLA-IO appreciates the diplomatic approaches from IGAD, AU, UN and the International Community in trying to push for a peaceful solution but it’s clear that the SPLM-IG and SSPDF chose war over peace. Therefore, the SPLA-IO Ag Chief of General Staff Lt. Gen. Peter Thok Chuol hereby directs all Sectors, divisions and all units of the SPLA-IO to be vigilant and promptly defend themselves and the civilians under their control areas. An attack on any SPLA-IO position is an attack on all SPLA-IO” (SPLM-IO – ‘SPLA-IO FORCES OFFICIAL DIRECTED TO DEFEND THEMSELVES AND CIVILIANS IN THEIR CONTROLLED AREAS’ 21.04.2025).

There is a lot of darkness reading the text and Press Release from the SPLM-IO. It isn’t just a warning, but a sign of what to come. As we know the SPLM-IG and SSPDF have targeted and been attacking IO cantonments across the Republic. It just shows that the R-ARCSS went into hibernation or even ceased to be operative the moment the IO leaders was arrested and was taken into custody. That’s why we are seeing this and the IG has just escalated it all, as it even tried a coup d’etat of the leadership of the IO without any luck.

J-1 and Juba should be worried. There should be a concern tonight. As the IO is putting this protocol and defence mechanism ahead. It is a sign that it won’t allow to be targets and will now retaliate. That means the IO has seen what the SSPDF is doing and has been preoccupied with. Therefore, this is the only way out. As the IG aren’t willing or trying to negotiate or talk to the IO.

If this was the rise to power of Benjamin Bol Mel, it is clearly not working. If the IG was trying to consolidate power and make him the new kingpin to takeover from President Salva Kiir Mayardit. This haven’t helped him or his cause. It has all backfired and there isn’t any support for it. That’s the UPDF have to carry the weight and fight the war for him against the Naath White Army. Seriously, this is just creating tension and more conflict. Not being a proper way to get to the throne. Alas, if he wants to do it like a heist and be the thief in office, maybe he thinks this is a smooth operation. However, we are seeing a farce and a slippery slope into civil war.

That just says it. The IO isn’t having a war-cry just yet. Nevertheless, they are getting close to it and sooner or later the lethal action has been done. As the bullets, the drones and whatnot are in bloody action. That is just what is to come. Kiir and Machar has been here before and it’s tragic that they are at it again. These two should have retired and let new leaders takeover a long time ago. However, they cannot give way and it shows. That’s why Kiir has to force his next in line and do it in spiteful way.

The R-ARCSS seems to be on the deathbed and soon a long lost tale of unfulfilled promises. The Republic had yet again signed a transitional agreement with stipulations, mechanisms and possible power-sharing between the stakeholders. That was all well, but the lack of implementation and the lack of institutionalizing the state has been only beneficial to President and his allies. The personification of the state is only hurting the state in the long-run and it shows.

That’s why we are here. There is still time to turn the clock and make a difference. That’s if there is a will or a possibility for the ones in power to humiliate themselves. They have to back-down and talk. That takes courage and someone might need a little liquid courage to step up. However, it is better to do it now. Before it is to late and it will cost plenty of lives. Lives that cannot return and the hope of a better tomorrow will be put on hold, yet again. South Sudan deserves better than that and the ones in office knows this perfectly well. They have been the actors in the same movie before and they are just recreating it in front of our eyes. Peace.
