STATES WON BY TRUMP, HARRIS IN US ELECTION

The US presidential election 2024 saw a fierce battle between former President Donald Trump and incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris. Early counting showed close competition, but as results continued to come in, Trump began to secure his lead in a series of critical states. Now, Trump has declared victory, claiming that the American people have given him an “unprecedented mandate”.

Speaking in Pennsylvania, Trump celebrated what he described as a strong endorsement from voters. “America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate. We have taken back control of the Senate. Wow, that’s great,” he said.

Notably, Fox News has already called the election in his favour, though other major networks have yet to make an official projection. Nevertheless, Trump’s lead in key swing states has left the Harris campaign scrambling.

Celebrations and Setbacks
At Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, supporters celebrated his claimed victory. In contrast, the atmosphere was sombre at a Harris watch party in Washington, DC.

Campaign advisor Cedric Richmond addressed disappointed supporters, indicating that Harris would respond to the results in the coming hours. “You won’t hear from the vice president tonight, but you will hear from her tomorrow,” he assured.

Republicans Gain Control of Senate.
In addition to Trump’s projected victory, the Republican Party has also reclaimed control of the Senate, flipping two key seats. This shift has solidified a political realignment in Washington, with the GOP now controlling both the presidency and the Senate. The Republican sweep represents a seismic shift in US politics and grants the party significant influence over the legislative agenda.

    WHITE HOUSE REJECTS ICC ARREST WARRANTS FOR NETANYAHU, GALLANT

    WHITE HOUSE REJECTS ICC ARREST WARRANTS FOR NETANYAHU, GALLANT The White House flatly rejected on Thursday the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) decision to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and ex-Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for their conduct in the war in Gaza. “The United States fundamentally rejects the Court’s decision to issue arrest warrants for senior Israeli officials. We remain deeply concerned by the Prosecutor’s rush to seek arrest warrants and the troubling process errors that led to this decision,” a National Security Council spokesperson told Anadolu. “The United States has been clear that the ICC does not have jurisdiction over this matter. In coordination with partners, including Israel, we are discussing next steps.” The Hague-based court announced the arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant earlier in the day “for crimes against humanity and war crimes committed from at least 8 October 2023 until at least 20 May 2024,” when ICC prosecutor Karim Khan sought the warrants In doing so, it also unanimously rejected Israel’s challenges to jurisdiction under articles 18 and 19 of the Rome Statute. The court said it “found reasonable grounds” to believe that Netanyahu and Gallant “bear criminal responsibility” for “the war crime of starvation as a method of warfare; and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts.” The Israeli onslaught has displaced almost the entire population of the territory amid an ongoing and deliberate blockade that has led to severe shortages of food, clean water, and medicine, pushing the population to the brink of starvation.

    FBI, CIA, DEA BIGGEST BLOW TO DEMOCRACY IN AFRICA, BY RAPHAEL ADEBOYE

    FBI, CIA, DEA BIGGEST BLOW TO DEMOCRACY IN AFRICA! BY RAPHAEL ADEBOYE I just read the document detailing the United States’ multiagency defense of the drug baron in Aso Villa. Let’s be clear about one thing: the FBI, CIA, DEA and other US agencies in that report just delivered the most damaging blow to liberal democracy and representative governance the world has ever witnessed since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The CIA and other covert US intelligence agencies have dedicated most of their existence since the post-1945 period to throttling regimes considered inimical to liberal democracy, from Eastern Europe to South America, Asia, and Africa. African leaders have been summarily assassinated, overthrown, or demonized by the CIA and other Western security agencies and propaganda outfits under the pretext that these leaders were undemocratic and “unreasonable.” Telling the Nigerian people that they do not have the right to question the background of the impostor who has imposed himself on them is precisely the same as telling them not to exist or be citizens who fulfill their civic duties. How much privacy is too much privacy? Nigerians know all about the adventures of Hushpuppi, as publicly and volubly disclosed by the FBI, despite Hushpuppi being a private citizen. How is the Instagram Hushpuppi different from this unpresidential Hushpuppi in public office? Even Donald Trump, while merely campaigning, was unequivocally open about his medical records and several other so-called “private” information. So what is all this buffoonery and obfuscatory Glomarization concealing crucial details on a public servant who bludgeoned his way to the highest office in a country of nearly 250 million citizens? What is the point of representative democracy if the people cannot question their public servants about anything and everything? Every liberal democratic constitution I know states that sovereignty belongs to the people. What the FBI, CIA, and others are telling us now is that this is pure speculative fiction. Even pre-colonial African states did not indulge in this level of tone-deafness whenever the people asked consequential questions. How many more people must die? How many more juveniles must be unjustly imprisoned and violated? How many more citizens of this country must suffer and be strangulated? How much more damage must the usurper in Aso Villa cause in Nigeria and the Sahel before the US starts taking its professed commitment to democracy, human rights, and transparency seriously in Africa? At this point, we Africans had better set to work to revive and critically develop our traditional institutions if we ever want to make it out of our current rut. We were democratic long before the Europeans came to tell us their democracy was superior.
