The Government is finally taking another step closer to the Republic of Barbados having set a date for the removal of the Lord Nelson statue. This comes after an onslaught of protests three months ago.
\t On Friday, internet and international calls were cut off across the West African nation in anticipation of the election results, according to locals and international observers in the capital, Conakry.
\t This was the third time that Conde matched-up against Diallo. Before the election, observers raised concerns that an electoral dispute could reignite ethnic tensions between Guinea's largest ethnic groups.
As a white person, as a Jewish person and as the descendant of Holocaust survivors who have benefited from the German reparations program, I feel morally obligated to pay reparations to Black grassroots organizations and Black individuals until reparations are formalized by the U.S. government.
In 2014, Ta-Nehisi Coates published an article titled “The Case for Reparations” in The Atlantic that outlines the many ways the U.S. government and white Americans have systematically benefited from the oppression of Black people beyond the institution of slavery.
The U.S. government and non-Black Americans must engage in this sort of cheshbon nefesh by paying reparations to Black citizens and unlearning and dismantling white supremacist systems in this country.
The American economy continues to exploit the free labor of Black people through carceral labor, as Black people are disproportionately incarcerated in the U.S. All Black people are systemically disadvantaged by the government and are deserving of reparations regardless of individual family history.
I feel the need to regularly give reparations to Black grassroots organizations, Black individuals, and organizations that strive for a just, equitable and anti-racist society even though they are not formalized by the U.S. government.

NNPA NEWSWIRE — Our courts are deteriorating quickly to an anti-worker mindset.

The post November 3: So much at stake in this election appeared first on Atlanta Daily World.
Over the years, this column has reported on racial disparities in homeownership, family wealth, the lack of access to affordable credit, and the pattern of alternative financial services preying upon communities of color by charging triple-digit interest rates on small-dollar loans.
For example, as many low-income people and especially those of color realized that competitive jobs markets essentially required skills and training to access gainful employment, millions were snookered into enrolling in costly for-profit colleges that failed to deliver the training or credentials necessary to live financially independent lives.
With low graduation rates, many of these former students incurred deep debt without the requisite skills nor a degree that enable them to secure employment with adequate wages to repay their loans.
“If Congress doesn’t override the President’s veto,” noted Ashley Harrington, Federal Advocacy Director and Senior Counsel with the Center for Responsible Lending (CRL), “Secretary DeVos’ 2019 harmful Borrower Defense Rule will go into effect this summer making it nearly impossible for future defrauded students to access relief and taxpayers to recoup their wasted and misused dollars.”
Just as the Federal Reserve took decisive action to support corporate and investor interests, working families are equally deserving of a governmental champion to unclog the blocks on benefits, loans and grants.

Khartoum / Juba — The peace negotiations between the Sudanese government and the Sudan Revolutionary Front (SRF) resumed via online links between Khartoum and Juba on Monday to comply with precautionary social distancing protocols to prevent the spread of coronavirus (Covid-19).
El Taayshi also stressed that the negotiations aim to address national related problems to create a new social contract between the Sudanese people based on equal citizenship, and the objectives of the December revolution 'peace, justice, and freedom' and address the roots causes of war and marginalisation in Sudan.
As reported by Radio Dabanga yesterday, the South Sudanese team mediating the peace talks between the Sudanese government and the armed movements announced in Juba that the first documents of the peace agreement will be signed on June 20.
The mediation team has reserved the period from 18 May to 20 May to negotiate national issues between the Sudanese government and the Sudan Revolutionary Front (SRF) alliance of armed movements.
From June 5 until June 11 a peace agreement matrix will be developed by a joint technical committee that includes the mediation team, the Sudanese government, the SRF, and other stakeholders.

By JILL COLVIN, WILL WEISSERT and AAMER MADHANI Associated Press LUMBERTON, North Carolina (AP) — President Donald Trump on Saturday mocked Democrat Joe Biden as 'an inspiring guy' for raising alarm about the pandemic even as the president attracted sizable campaign crowds with coronavirus cases surging across the country in the closing days of the race. Biden, pressing the case that Trump doesn't deserve a second term because of his handling of the pandemic, said at his own smaller drive-in rally outside Philadelphia that he didn't 'like the idea of all this distance but it's necessary' for public health reasons.
