Organizations from the African continent launch day of solidarity with the Alliance of Sahel States

As the second anniversary of the Alliance of Sahel States approaches on September 16, 2025, the Pan Africanism Today Secretariat (PAT), composed of over 70 people’s movements and organizations across Africa, has issued a call to action, urging all progressive forces across the continent and around the globe to stand in solidarity with the AES. According to PAT, this would entail publicly declaring solidarity with the peoples of Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger, amplifing the political significance of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), and exposing the role of imperialist powers and ECOWAS in undermining their sovereignty.

Movements are urged to organize mass mobilizations, protests, and other coordinated actions on September 16, 2025 to mark the AES’s second anniversary, as well as host educational events, forums, and teach-ins to deepen political understanding of the struggle. Cultural and creative expressions, along with bold acts of agitation and disruption, should be used to communicate the AES’s vision, challenge neocolonialism, and integrate solidarity into ongoing political activities.

Triumphing for the oppressed Palestinian people and their dear Mujahideen, and in response to the crimes of genocide and starvation perpetrated by the Zionist enemy against our people in the Gaza Strip and in retaliation to the Israeli aggression against our country.

The missile force of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a qualitative military operation targeting Lod Airport in the occupied Yaffa region using a hypersonic ballistic missile, "Palestine 2."

The operation has successfully achieved its objective, and caused millions of herds of usurping Zionists to flee to shelters, suspending airport operations.

What has been happening in Gaza for nearly two years is a clear confirmation of the enemy's disregard for the blood of our people in Palestine and its disregard for the blood of Arabs and Muslims.

The unprecedented crime of genocide has not stopped, and the siege and starvation continue in full view of the entire world. How long will the nation, with its peoples and countries, continue to remain silent and in such a state of abandonment?

Has the blood of children and women in Gaza become insignificant to everyone? How long will this crime, this injustice, and this aggression continue?

We will persist to fulfill our religious, moral, and humanitarian duty toward the oppressed Palestinian people until the aggression against Gaza stops and the siege is lifted.

While 20,000 portraits were distributed, with a 31% acceptance rate, uptake was uneven. Just 3% of hospitals, 7% of universities, and a quarter of Church of England churches requested a portrait, compared with 73% of national and local government bodies. All 23 coastguard stations took part.

Remember when Corbin got dragged for saying Zionists have no sense of irony? Then there’s this Israeli hooliganism

Discussion of how the "Israeli" economy seems to keep stumbling along despite the fact that it seems to be running on nothing and even actively consuming itself with the genocide. Though apparently it is doomed, how long it can continue like this seems to be anyone's guess, because it just keeps shambling.

Also, an analysis of why France seems to be making the (very symbolic) gesture of "recognizing" Palestine.

And some very positive analysis of the BDS movement!

🟢 Hamas calls for a widespread "Day of Rage" next Friday, August 15, 2025, across the West Bank.

This comes in response to the ongoing genocide, siege, and starvation in Gaza, alongside the escalating settlement expansion in the West Bank, including zionist minister Smotrich's plan for over 3,400 new units and full control of the West Bank.

Hamas emphasizes that the true response to these criminal projects lies in the field, through popular escalation and resistance. The movement urges all factions and the public to unite and participate widely to defend the land against annexation and confiscation plans.

🇵🇸 Palestinian Resistance Factions: — In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

In light of the dangerous statements made by the criminal Netanyahu regarding the "Greater 'israel' Vision" and the judaization plan of the so-called Smotrich, the Palestinian Resistance Factions affirm that these reveal the true face of this usurping entity, expose malicious colonial intentions, and pose a serious threat to national and Islamic security.

These statements are not isolated, but rather an extension of the war of genocide and ethnic cleansing waged by the zionist entity against our people, based on fabricated biblical myths that seek to impose "Greater 'israel'" as a reality on the ground.

What the zionist-American enemy promotes, regarding the systematic displacement and killing of our people in Gaza, is merely a first stage of an expansionist project targeting the core of the Arab and Islamic nation; and the blood and sacrifices we offer today are a defense of the entire nation, and a thwarting of the zionist project announced by the occupation leaders and their allies.

We affirm that the resistance in Gaza is the impregnable dam, the first trench, and the protecting vanguard of the nation, and a true safety valve for the entire region, and that it is fighting on behalf of the nation a battle of steadfastness and resilience, which will be recorded in the purest pages of history.

We affirm that the struggle with the enemy is not a conflict of borders but a conflict of existence, extending in its stages to swallow up the land, holy sites, and identity.

We call for a swift agreement on an urgent Arab and Islamic strategy to confront this danger, deter the enemy, break the American-backed zionist hegemony, and support the Palestinian people in the battle for existence, until victory is achieved and our free state with Al-Quds as its capital is established.
