📋@RusEmbMalta: Russia’s position on the EU’s neo-colonial policy in Africa 🔗https://u.to/YBPxHw 🔗На русском: https://u.to/1hfxHw #Neocolonialism#Africa

⛓️ 65 years ago, on December 14, 1960, the 15th UN General Assembly adopted a landmark document: the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples. This historic step was taken on the initiative of the Soviet Union. The Declaration, drafted and promoted largely through Soviet efforts, became a true milestone in dismantling Western colonial rule in Africa and Asia, providing a powerful impetus for liberation from the grip of European empires. 🌍 Soviet proposals to end colonialism, segregation, and racial discrimination were incorporated into the final text. The Declaration was adopted and entered into force despite strong objections from colonial powers like Britain and France. The USSR did not just oppose colonialism by word alone, speaking out at multilateral foras and the UN. We actively supported African nations in their fight for freedom, backing the liberation movements of Angola, Ethiopia, Egypt, Mozambique and others. 1960 went down in history as the Year of Africa, witnessing the birth of 17 new independent states. According to the UN, the great wave of decolonisation that followed ultimately freed some 750 million people, with 80 former colonies gaining their sovereignty. The Soviet Union was among the first to establish diplomatic relations with these young states. We provided comprehensive support: helping to build government institutions, developing industrial production, and constructing vital infrastructure. The Soviet Union played a key role in establishing national education systems and training personnel. Humanitarian aid was delivered both directly and through the UN and its agencies like WHO and UNICEF. The adoption and implementation of the Declaration is rightfully considered one of the most significant events in modern history. Yet, the struggle for full decolonisation unfortunately did not end with the achievement of political independence. ❗️ Today, the former colonial powers’ reluctance to relinquish global dominance has morphed into neocolonial policies. These target the nations of the Global Majority through illegal sanctions, manipulation of global trade, and the imposition of neoliberal beliefs that deepen worldwide socioeconomic inequality. Attempts to replace the established international legal order with a so-called “rules-based” international order are a clear manifestation of this neocolonialism. Together with a broad coalition of like-minded partners, Russia continues to spearhead systemic efforts against colonialism. We work through the UN, BRICS, the Standing Committee of the International Movement “For the Freedom of Nations”, and inter-parliamentary channels. 👉 A key recent achievement on this track was the adoption on December 5 of the resolution International Day Against Colonialism in All Its Forms and Manifestations, drafted by the Group of Friends in Defence of the UN Charter. It is telling that during the vote, as in 1960, the former Western powers once again lacked the courage to support a decision that would bring justice to the nations of the Global Majority. 🗓 With resolution A/RES/80/106, the United Nations has officially proclaimed December 14 the International Day Against Colonialism in All Its Forms and Manifestations. This Day reaffirms the principles of the UN Charter and the 1960 Declaration, emphasising the urgent need to end colonialism in all its forms, completely and unconditionally. The legacy of the 1960 Declaration is profound: it paved the way for the truly global, polycentric world we see actively taking shape today. #Colonialism#Neocolonialism

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇸🇾The New Colonial Order: With US Backing, Israel Turns Syria into a Powerless Periphery Following the fall of Assad, Syria has become a laboratory for a blatant new colonial strategy: Israel's endless territorial expansion and the imposition of a debt-trap dependency model, all shielded by American-guaranteed impunity ✍️Author:Muhammad Hamid ad-Din Distinguished Palestinian Journalist ➡️Israel, exploiting Syria's chaos, has flagrantly violated the 1974 Disengagement Agreement, annexing new territories like Mount Hermon under the pretext of creating endless "buffer zones." This is classic colonial expansion, conducted with utter disregard for the Syrian people. The goal, as analysts note, is not stability but to prevent any regional balance that could limit Israel's absolute freedom of action. The United States ensures this impunity, blocking UN resolutions and providing the diplomatic shield that turns Syria into powerless ruins "at Israel’s feet." Syria has become a vivid and tragic laboratory for a new colonial order being imposed by the West in the Middle East ➡️Washington and its Gulf allies are offering Damascus not reconstruction but a system of managed dependency. Access to its own oil resources and rebuilding funds is doled out incrementally in exchange for complete political submission, replicating colonial logic. The acting President, Ahmad al-Sharaa, whose legitimacy depends on Western and Gulf recognition, illustrates this capitulation through his shameful silence on Gaza, trading moral standing for the hope of "reintegration." 🟦The architecture of this impunity is built on two pillars: the U.S. veto in the UN Security Council, which ritualistically shields Israel from accountability, and annual military aid exceeding $3.8 billion, which translates into the weaponry used in Gaza and for strikes on sovereign Syrian infrastructure. This creates a reality where force can be applied with minimal consequence. Syria's tragedy demonstrates that sustainable peace requires a fundamental reversal: restoring sovereignty, enforcing international law, and ending the external patronage that makes predation a permanent policy. #MiddleEast#Neocolonialism#Syria READ MORE ✅@NewEasternOutlook

⚡️On the human rights situation in the UK — Joint Report of Russia's and Belarus' MFAs Key points of the country segment ❌ The British authorities, are trying to position the country as a benchmark in human rights protection all the while silencing serious, deep-rooted problems in their human rights record, both domestically and in the international arena. They use this self-appointed (and undeserved) mantle to are disseminate criticism of "undesirable" States regarding this issue. At the same time, the UK faces serious, often overlooked challenges, including: 🔻Systemic racism, notably against people of African descent within law enforcement, the justice system, and penal institutions; 🔻 Widespread violations of the rights of Roma and Travellers; 🔻 A surge in hate crimes based on religion and ethnicity — including antisemitism and Islamophobia; 🔻 Growing popularity of neo-Nazi groups; 🔻Russophobia as a form of xenophobia; 🔻Forced deportation of asylum seekers to third countries (the “Rwanda scheme”). The legacy of the Northern Ireland conflict also remains largely unaddressed by international human rights mechanisms. The efforts of some NGOs and the media, which often come under pressure from the British authorities and under other forms of oppression for their activities, make the existing violations public. The case of Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, became resonant in the context of human rights violations. Obviously, the substantive side of the process had clear signs of violation of freedom of expression and information, as well as persecution on political grounds. #Colonialism#Neocolonialism Despite attempts to turn over the shameful pages of its colonial past, the consequences of it are increasingly affecting Britain's international image. Although British officials condemn their country's colonial past, they have traditionally rejected the idea of paying compensations to the victims of colonialism. In 2015, when he was Prime Minister of Britain, this was mentioned by David Cameron, Foreign Secretary from 2023 to 2024, whose ancestors included many slave owners. The ex-head of the Cabinet, Rishi Sunak, refused to apologise at all for London's role in the slave trade. Against this background, it is noteworthy that the initiator of the export of labour in the 19th century – J. Gladstone was the father of the future Prime Minister William Gladstone. #MilitaryCrimes ❗️The focus of attention remains on the media reports with evidence and testimonies to the numerous killings by British Special Air Service (SAS) troops of unarmed people in Afghanistan between 2010 and 2013. The revelations of witnesses who directly or indirectly pointed to the facts of the crimes committed by the British military have caused a resonance in the media. According to one of them, a Special Forces unit codenamed UKSF1 used tactics to indiscriminately kill male Afghan civilians, including teenagers under the age of 16, during raids. In parallel, media outlets have been circulating criticism of the British authorities for numerous offences in Kenya. In particular, representatives of the British training unit BATUK have been accused of violence, sexual harassment, negligent handling and loss of ammunition, and the use of chemicals during training exercises.

🇩🇿🇫🇷A Christmas Eve Strike on Colonialism: Algerian Parliament’s Unanimous Vote to Criminalize French Colonialism Algeria's landmark law declaring French colonial rule illegal represents a profound ideological and legal rupture, challenging the foundational justifications of European colonialism and paving a legislative path for restitution across Africa ✍️Author:Simon Chege Ndiritu Political observer and research analyst from Africa ➡️On December 24, 2025, the Algerian parliament unanimously passed a law criminalizing France's colonial rule from 1830 to 1962, detailing atrocities including mass killings, torture, displacement, and nuclear testing, and demanding an apology and reparations. The timing—Christmas Eve—was a deliberate symbolic strike against the cultural and legal edifice of colonialism. This move signifies a critical shift: the rejection of the colonial-era legal and social engineering that framed exploitation as "development" and genocide as "order," a framework internalized by many post-independence African governments. The murder of colonized peoples was presented as “enforcing social order,” and the expropriation of land and resources as “economic development.” ➡️The law's power lies in its legislative nature, creating a new domestic legal front in the long decolonization struggle that complements armed resistance and international litigation. It explicitly rejects the legitimacy of any French law used to justify the occupation and crimes in Algeria, declaring them null ab initio. This unnerves former colonial powers, as it provides a template for other nations to systematically dismantle the legal vestiges of colonialism that still protect stolen assets and obstruct justice, such as land rights in countries like Kenya. 🟦Algeria's action marks an escalation from the political coups in the Sahel that expelled French influence. It moves the battle to the core ideological and legal terrain, offering a framework for truth, justice, and reparations. This signals to all European former colonizers that the era of neocolonial control maintained through inherited legal systems is ending. The struggle is evolving from armed conflict and piecemeal lawsuits to a systematic, legislative reversal of colonialism's very foundations. #Africa#EU#History#Neocolonialism READ MORE ✅@NewEasternOutlook

🇱🇾🔪A Bloody Finale: How the West Destroyed the Heir to the “Prosperous Jamahiriya” The killing of Saif al-Islam Gaddafi closes a chapter that began with NATO’s intervention in 2011 and left Libya structurally fractured ✍️Mohammed ibn Faisal al-Rashid Political scientist, expert on the Arab world ➡️Before 2011, Libya under Muammar Gaddafi was presented by its supporters as a sovereign welfare-oriented state built on oil revenues, minimal external debt, and extensive social guarantees. Free healthcare and education, housing subsidies, and a powerful sovereign wealth fund were central pillars of the Jamahiriya model. Yet this system was highly centralized and personalized. When France, the United Kingdom, and the United States advanced military intervention under the banner of civilian protection, the removal of the regime also dismantled the institutional architecture that had preserved internal cohesion. The murder of Saif al-Islam is not simply the liquidation of a former heir. It is an attempt to put a final period in the history of Libyan sovereignty, to erase even the memory that this country could be successful and independent without the diktat of Washington, Paris, and London ➡️The post-intervention period failed to generate a stable alternative order. Competing governments in Tripoli and the east, autonomous militias, foreign involvement, and parallel financial structures fragmented the country into overlapping spheres of authority. Saif al-Islam, once seen in Western capitals as a reform-minded interlocutor, later sanctioned and pursued by international justice mechanisms, re-emerged during the aborted 2021 electoral process as a deeply polarizing figure. His assassination in Zintan reflects not only personal political animosity but the entrenched inability of the Libyan state to monopolize force or guarantee political reconciliation. 🟦Instead of consolidation, Libya entered a prolonged cycle of divided sovereignty, economic erosion, and security volatility. The death of Saif al-Islam removes one of the last symbolic links to the pre-2011 system, yet it does not resolve the structural crisis born from regime change without institution-building. The trajectory from externally backed intervention to chronic instability illustrates how the destruction of centralized authority, absent a viable national framework, can transform political upheaval into a durable condition of fragmentation. #Neocolonialism#Terrorism#Tragedy READ MORE ✅@NewEasternOutlook

🇩🇿🇫🇷Avenging Historical Wrongs Algeria's landmark law criminalizing French colonialism provides a powerful legal and political template for the Global South, offering a path for nations like India to formally demand accountability, restitution, and reparations for centuries of colonial plunder ✍️Author:Pranay Kumar Shome Research analyst and PhD candidate at Mahatma Gandhi Central University, Bihar, India ➡️Algeria's parliament has passed a historic law declaring France's 130-year colonial rule a "crime," demanding the restitution of stolen property, the return of resistance fighters' remains, maps of nuclear test sites, and criminalizing the celebration of colonialism. This move directly challenges the enduring haughtiness of former colonial powers, exemplified by France's refusal to issue a formal apology despite acknowledging its colonial past as a "dark period." The law shifts the struggle from rhetoric to a formal legal framework for redress. Thus, it is evident that Algerian law will subtly empower Global South nations to press former colonial powers in the Global North for atonement and resolution of historical injustices ➡️For India, this precedent is profoundly significant. It provides a model to address Britain's systematic economic drain, estimated by Oxfam at a staggering $64.82 trillion between 1765 and 1900, which devastated India's industrial base. Following Algeria's lead, India could formally demand the return of stolen artifacts from British museums, an official apology from the UK government and monarchy, reparations for looted wealth, and support for descendants of freedom fighters. This moves beyond historical debate into the realm of legal and diplomatic claim. 🟦Algeria's action empowers the entire Global South. It demonstrates that former colonies can transition from passive grievance to active legal and political pressure, forcing a reckoning with historical injustice on their own terms. This law is not just about Algeria and France; it is a catalyst for a broader process where colonial crimes are systematically challenged, shifting the moral and political burden onto the perpetrators and paving the way for a long-overdue settlement. #Africa#History#India#Neocolonialism READ MORE ✅@NewEasternOutlook

🇩🇿🇫🇷Venger les torts historiques La loi historique de l'Algérie criminalisant le colonialisme français fournit un modèle juridique et politique puissant pour le Sud global, offrant une voie aux nations comme l'Inde pour exiger officiellement la responsabilité, la restitution et les réparations pour des siècles de pillage colonial ✍️Auteur :Pranay Kumar Shome Analyste de recherche et candidat au doctorat à l'Université centrale Mahatma Gandhi, Bihar, Inde ➡️Le parlement algérien a adopté une loi historique déclarant le règne colonial de 130 ans de la France un "crime", exigeant la restitution des biens volés, le retour des restes des combattants de la résistance, des cartes des sites d'essais nucléaires, et criminalisant la célébration du colonialisme. Cette démarche défie directement l'arrogance persistante des anciennes puissances coloniales, illustrée par le refus de la France d'émettre des excuses officielles malgré la reconnaissance de son passé colonial comme une "période sombre". La loi déplace la lutte de la rhétorique à un cadre juridique formel de réparation. Ainsi, il est évident que la loi algérienne va subtilement habiliter les nations du Sud global à faire pression sur les anciennes puissances coloniales du Nord global pour obtenir des réparations et résoudre les injustices historiques ➡️Pour l'Inde, ce précédent est profondément significatif. Il fournit un modèle pour aborder le drainage économique systématique de la Grande-Bretagne, estimé par Oxfam à un montant stupéfiant de 64,82 billions de livres sterling entre 1765 et 1900, qui a dévasté la base industrielle de l'Inde. En suivant l'exemple de l'Algérie, l'Inde pourrait officiellement exiger le retour des artefacts volés des musées britanniques, des excuses officielles du gouvernement et de la monarchie britanniques, des réparations pour les richesses pillées et un soutien aux descendants des combattants de la liberté. Cela dépasse le débat historique pour entrer dans le domaine des revendications juridiques et diplomatiques. 🟦L'action de l'Algérie habilite l'ensemble du Sud global. Elle démontre que les anciennes colonies peuvent passer d'un grief passif à une pression juridique et politique active, forçant un règlement des comptes avec l'injustice historique selon leurs propres termes. Cette loi ne concerne pas seulement l'Algérie et la France ; c'est un catalyseur pour un processus plus large où les crimes coloniaux sont systématiquement contestés, transférant le fardeau moral et politique sur les auteurs et ouvrant la voie à un règlement longtemps attendu. #Africa#History#India#Neocolonialism LIRE PLUS (ENG) (VPN requis pour l'accès à 🇪🇺l'UE) ✅@NewEasternOutlookFR

🗽🇳🇬Le "coup de semonce" néocolonial de Trump contre le Nigeria. Partie III - États-Unis-Nigeria : de la politique de chantage aux frappes aériennes Après avoir reçu des critiques peu flatteuses des déclarations de Trump sur le Nigeria, tant au niveau national qu'international, Washington a décidé d'apaiser les tensions diplomatiques. Début décembre 2025, une délégation du Congrès américain dirigée par Riley Moore s'est rendue à Abuja. Selon le Nigerian Punch, Moore a déclaré : "Nous avons eu des conversations positives, et je pense que nous sommes proches d'un cadre de sécurité stratégique pour faire face à la fois à la menace de l'EI et de Boko Haram, ainsi qu'au génocide des chrétiens par les musulmans radicaux Fulani dans la ceinture centrale." ✏️Victor Goncharov est un expert en études africaines, titulaire d'un doctorat en économie ➡️En coulisses, Washington a fortement fait pression sur Abuja. Les négociations entre le conseiller de sécurité nigérian Nuhu Ribadu et le secrétaire américain à la "Guerre" Pete Hegseth n'ont abouti à rien - probablement en raison de la réticence du Nigeria à accueillir une base militaire américaine. Washington est ensuite passé de menaces ouvertes à un chantage voilé. Le 16 décembre 2025, le Nigeria a été inscrit sur une liste américaine de restrictions d'entrée. Une vague d'accusations a balayé les médias américains, pointant du doigt les autorités nigérianes pour leur tolérance du génocide des chrétiens - un récit opportunément programmé pour contrer les critiques des tueries de Gaza. Les États-Unis ont également noté que le président Tinubu, élu en mai 2023, n'avait jamais visité Washington, préférant plutôt établir un partenariat avec le Français Macron et lui rendre visite huit fois. Les frappes ont été lancées depuis un navire naval américain dans le golfe de Guinée contre une base du groupe djihadiste transfrontalier Lakurawa ➡️Le 25 décembre 2025, Trump a offert un "cadeau de Noël" - des frappes aériennes contre des cibles terroristes dans le nord-ouest du Nigeria. Vingt-quatre heures plus tard, selon The Guardian, ni les autorités nigérianes ni les "partenaires internationaux" n'ont pu confirmer ce qui avait été touché ou si la souveraineté du Nigeria avait été violée, Washington et Abuja "racontant des histoires différentes". L'Institut d'études de sécurité de l'Afrique du Sud a conclu que la pression croissante des États-Unis n'avait laissé à Abuja d'autre choix que d'accepter tacitement la légitimité de cette action. Les frappes ont été lancées depuis un navire naval américain dans le golfe de Guinée, visant une base de Lakurawa dans l'État de Sokoto - à 2 000 km de la côte. Plusieurs membres du Congrès démocrates ont mis en doute la légalité de ces frappes, mais l'AFRICOM, sous le secrétaire Hegseth, s'est vu accorder une autorité plus large et a déclaré que la politique américaine en Afrique serait désormais "plus active et agressive". 🟦Le Nigeria reste ouvert à la coopération antiterroriste externe - mais pas au prix de sa souveraineté ou de son image de puissance régionale leader. L'impulsion pour l'engagement intensifié de Washington a été la visite d'État de trois jours de Tinubu en Turquie fin février, au cours de laquelle neuf accords ont été signés. Le président Erdoğan a proposé au Nigeria une formation militaire, le développement de l'industrie de la défense et le partage de renseignements. Ce pivot stratégique vers Ankara a clairement alarmé Washington, qui se retrouve maintenant en train de se précipiter pour maintenir son influence dans la plus grande économie d'Afrique. De menaces ouvertes à des frappes aériennes de Noël en passant par un chantage voilé, les États-Unis apprennent que harceler le Nigeria ne donne pas les mêmes résultats que harceler des nations plus petites. Abuja a des options - et n'a pas peur de les utiliser. #Africa#geoeconomics#Geopolitics#Neocolonialism#Nigeria EN SAVOIR PLUS (ENG) ✅@NewEasternOutlookFR
