Nairobi’s deepening ties with France won’t end well, warns Mwaivu Kaluka from the Communist Party of Marxist-Kenya. He slams the defence cooperation agreement and highlights past French military adventures, such as Operation Serval in Mali. While France claimed it successfully targeted t*rr*rists, some analysts argue it fuelled hostage-taking and empowered trafficking networks. Kaluka also takes a swipe at France's exploitative economic policies, including the CFA franc, which requires some member states to hold half their foreign reserves at the French Treasury. He was speaking at the Pan-Africanist Summit Against Imperialism in Nairobi, a counter-event to the France-Africa Summit also held in the capital. #Kaluka #PanAfricanism #Africa #Sahel #France #AntiImperialism #AfricanSovereignty #Industrialisation #NairobiSummit #FranceOutOfAfrica #Decolonisation #Geopolitics #ResourceExtraction #NewsLionSA

Beijing has announced massive new chromite discoveries in occupied Tibet, adding to the CCP’s relentless extraction of Tibet’s natural wealth while silencing the Tibetan people. Tibet is being turned into a sacrifice zone for China’s strategic minerals, military expansion, and industrial growth. Mining projects pushed without local consent are destroying one of the world’s most fragile ecosystems, contaminating water sources, and deepening repression across Tibet. Under Chinese occupation, Tibetans have no voice over what happens to their land, resources, or future. #FreeTibet #Tibet #CCP #China #EnvironmentalDestruction #HumanRights #ClimateJustice #ResourceExtraction #ThirdPole #SaveTibet #StopCCP #Ecoocide tibetanreview.net/china-anno…

China hails over 100 million tons moved on the Qinghai Tibet Railway as progress, but the pattern tells another story. Heavy inflows of coal and construction material support expansion and control, while outbound flows point to resource extraction. Infrastructure here is not neutral, it reshapes Tibet to serve state priorities, not local communities. tibetanreview.net/china-repo… #Tibet #HumanRights #Geopolitics #China #ResourceExtraction #Colonialism #Infrastructure

Imperialism in its purest form: people treated as disposable cargo on the same logistics chain as cobalt and coltan. Deportation and extraction are just two sides of the same global ledger. #Imperialism #ResourceExtraction #Slavery

China is celebrating a “breakthrough” in lithium extraction, but the world should remember where this wealth comes from. Most of China’s so-called lithium resources lie in Tibet, where salt lakes and mineral-rich regions are being exploited while Tibetans have no say in their own land. As Beijing ramps up production for EV batteries, the environmental cost and cultural erasure in Tibet continue to deepen. hostwebs.site/3FyFxY #Tibet #Lithium #WhiteGold #EnergyPolitics #China #ResourceExtraction #GreenColonialism #EVSupplyChain #FreeTibet #TibetEnvironment #Sinicization #HumanRights

Investigation reveals that networks linked to the United Arab Emirates are orchestrating a covert extraction system designed to siphon Sudan’s gold under the cover of war. Dark Box sources confirm that the scheme relies on RSF-controlled mining zones, cross-border smuggling corridors through Libya, Chad and South Sudan, and foreign refineries that erase the gold’s origin before it enters global markets. Evidence shows that more than half of Sudan’s annual production is being diverted, turning the conflict into a resource-driven shadow economy. The findings also highlight how the RSF weaponises the gum arabic trade, mirroring patterns of colonial resource extraction where local communities suffer while external actors profit. The outcome is stark: a collapsing agricultural sector, destroyed infrastructure, and a war increasingly shaped around smuggling routes rather than military strategy. Analysts warn that without intervention, Sudan’s resources will continue to finance both the conflict and foreign networks operating behind layers of commercial secrecy.

U.S. Gold Corp. (NASDAQ:USAU) said it has contracted Micon International Limited and Halyard Inc to advance engineering work at its CK Gold Project in southeast Wyoming. Micon-Halyard was selected following a competitive review process focused on expertise in concentrator process design and project execution, according to US Gold. The firm is tapped to prepare a site-specific Class 3 cost estimate and an execution plan. The move comes after the resource development company completed a series of trade-off studies on flotation technologies and tailings filtration options, building on a February 2025 updated prefeasibility study by Samuel Engineering. proactiveinvestors.com/compa… #usgoldcorp #ckgoldproject #kenmurray #miningnews #goldexploration #copperexploration #feasibilitystudy #miningdevelopment #epcm #projectexecution #miningindustry #goldminingusa #wyomingmining #nasdaqu #captricsconsulting #miningengineering #mininginvestors #resourceextraction #georgebee #miningupdate #miningprojects

(NASDAQ:USAU) has tapped Ken Murray of Captrics Consulting to lead the final phases of study work and develop a project execution plan for its CK Gold Project in Wyoming, it said Tuesday. Murray, a veteran with over 25 years of experience in capital projects across the mining and technology sectors, will coordinate engineering efforts with the firm’s Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management (EPCM) partner, and oversee all aspects of execution planning. "We are very pleased to have found Ken Murray, who we recently sent to the CK Gold Project site to conduct a review of the work done to date,” said US Gold CEO George Bee in a statement. proactiveinvestors.com/compa… #usgoldcorp #ckgoldproject #kenmurray #miningnews #goldexploration #copperexploration #feasibilitystudy #miningdevelopment #epcm #projectexecution #miningindustry #goldminingusa #wyomingmining #nasdaqu #captricsconsulting #miningengineering #mininginvestors #resourceextraction #georgebee #miningupdate #miningprojects

We are witnessing a growing Indigenous resistance movement across Canada, as First Nations communities fight against legislation and policies that bypass their rights and enable the extraction and sale of resources from their traditional lands without their free, prior, and informed consent. From Ontario to Alberta to British Columbia, Indigenous leaders are warning of blockades, protests, and legal action to defend their land and treaty rights. This is a tipping point, not just for Indigenous peoples, but for the world, as the demand for ‘so-called gold’ continues to disrespect the stewards of the land. #IndigenousRights #LandDefense #TreatyRights #FreePriorInformedconsent #ResourceExtraction #IndigenousResistance #CanadianPolitics

🌍 "The just transition must not become the next inequality." – Professor Damilola S. Olawuyi, SAN, FCIArb @dsolawuyi As UNESCO Chair @UNESCOChairHBKU on #EnvironmentalLaw and #SustainableDevelopment at @HBKU , Professor Olawuyi opened today’s Qatar University CSR Summit 2025 with a powerful #keynote that redefined how we think about #sustainability, #development, and the role of #law in the #GlobalSouth. His core argument? That #greengrowth must be legal, inclusive, and just—anchored not just in #climatemetrics but in the rights, livelihoods, and dignity of communities most impacted by the #energytransition. 🔑 Key takeaways: #HumanRightsDueDiligence (#HRDD) must be embedded in every #investmentdecision and #traderelationship. Strong #legalframeworks are essential to prevent “#greeninjustice,” where #resourceextraction for #renewables repeats the harms of #fossildevelopment. Tools like constitutional #environmentalrights, independent #climateinstitutions, and enforceable #ESGtrade obligations are essential to a rights-based transition. #Education and #training are not optional—the #justtransition will fail without #capacitybuilding across legal, public, and private sectors. 📘 Prof. Olawuyi also previewed two forthcoming #UN reports: • #ArtificialIntelligence and #HumanRights  – June 2025 • Migrant Labor and #ESGDisclosure – UN General Assembly, Fall 2025 @UN His closing call struck a deep chord: “We must not replicate historical injustice in the name of sustainability. The transition must be strategic, science-based, and socially grounded.” Also honored to hear from: • Mr. Muhammad bin Saif bin Ali Al Kuwari, Deputy Chairman of QATAR NHRC @QATARNHRC • H.E. Dr. Cristian Tudor, Ph.D., Ambassador of the European Union to the State of Qatar @CristianTudorEU Grateful thanks to Dr. Othman Althawadi @QatarUniversity and Dean Rana Sobh for the generous invitation. Congratulations on such a landmark event.
