      • "content": "Ebrahim Rasool says the growing “scramble for critical minerals” is fueling global tensions Former South African ambassador to the United States Ebrahim Rasool, expelled from Washington in March after accusing Donald Trump of promoting white supremacy, has warned that a new global conflict is underway, not over oil, but over critical minerals.Speaking at a Jumu’ah lecture at Masjidul Quds Institute in Cape Town recently, Rasool said: ”Let me give you an example, some statistics, the United States has identified 50 critical minerals for its immediate future if it is going to remain the leader and not cede leadership to China in the tech revolution. Read more Africa has something China and the West need, but will it profit? ”Of the 50, they are 100% dependent on other countries for 12 of those 50,” he continued. “They are more than 50% dependent on 29 of those 50 minerals. And they are dependent on China for 13 of those. And China has captured 90% of the processing market for all of that.”Rasool tied the US response to this dependency to what he described as a militarised, resource-driven foreign policy. “It’s not that Donald Trump is suddenly waking up and saying, I hate Chinese because of this, that, and the other. It is because the tech robber barons have told him - You’ve got to go to war.”He pointed to South Africa’s military involvement in the Democratic Republic of Congo as proof of its role in defending the continent’s mineral wealth. READ MORE: US expulsion a ‘badge of dignity’ – South African envoy “South Africa showed when it lost 18 soldiers in the Eastern DRC, defending the critical minerals of the DRC, it showed its willingness to protect Africa, because Africa has 30% of the critical minerals of the world.”“South Africa itself has 70% of the platinum critical minerals,” he added. “No new car can be driven without platinum, because platinum is the core ingredient of catalytic converters.”He said that the world is entering a dangerous new phase, a “scramble for critical minerals” that is driving global tensions and US foreign policy.”This is not the scramble for oil,” Rasool said. “This is the scramble for critical minerals.”He suggested that US interest in Arctic access, Greenland, and control of global trade routes was all part of this strategy. “The whole issue of Canada - Canada has 30% of the world’s critical minerals,” he said. “It’s not a joke about the 51st state. It’s to beat them into submission.”He also criticised US actions around global shipping routes. Read more Westerners came for gold. Now this nation is sending them packing “The Panama Canal, bombing the Houthis to make sure the Suez Canal always stays open so that it flows, the critical minerals flow through.”Rasool claimed that the US wants to ensure the Panama Canal “never gets into hostile hands because the critical minerals have to flow.”“My respected brothers and sisters, if we want to understand this changing, ominous global landscape, then be amused by the apparent madness, but look for the method in the madness.”Rasool was expelled from the US in March 2025 after accusing President Donald Trump of promoting white supremacy both at home and abroad, and drew attention to Vice President JD Vance’s and Elon Musk’s connections to far-right movements.This led to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio declaring Rasool persona non grata, calling him a “race-baiting politician who hates America.” His diplomatic privileges were revoked, and he was given 72 hours to leave the country.The incident further strained already tense US and South Africa relations, which had been deteriorating over disagreements around South Africa’s land reform program and its genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice. READ MORE: Are white farmers really persecuted? What’s behind the US-South Africa spat After arriving back in Cape Town, Western Cape, Rasool said he stood by his words. “I have no regrets,” he said. “This is a badge of dignity.”Meanwhile, President Cyril Ramaphosa has appointed Mcebisi Jonas as South Africa’s new Special Envoy to the United States, amid diplomatic tensions between the two countries.Jonas, who “is entrusted with the responsibility to advance South Africa’s diplomatic, trade and bilateral priorities” is a former Deputy Finance Minister, a statement issued by the Presidency said. Read more From Leopold to lithium: How corporations perfected the art of plundering Africa His appointment comes as South Africa has been given a three-month breather to endeavour to negotiate better trade terms with the US than the initial 30% tariffs imposed by US Donald Trump as well as Ebrahim Rasool’s expulsion last month. “This appointment underscores his distinguished career and continued commitment to advancing South Africa’s national and economic interests,” said the Presidency’s statement.First published by IOL",

      • "description": "Rwanda’s foreign minister has confirmed that the country is in discussions with the Trump administration to receive deportees Read Full Article at RT.com",
      • "content": "Rwanda has confirmed discussions after Marco Rubio said Washington wants to send some of the most “despicable” people far away from America Rwanda has entered negotiations with Washington to receive migrants deported from the United States, the East African country’s foreign minister said on Sunday. The development comes months after a controversial asylum agreement between Kigali and the UK collapsed.In an interview with state broadcaster Rwanda TV, Olivier Nduhungirehe said talks with the US government were at an early stage.“We are in discussions with the United States... It has not yet reached a stage where we can say exactly how things will proceed, but the talks are ongoing,” the senior diplomat stated.US President Donald Trump campaigned last year on promises to tighten immigration policy and reverse what he viewed as his predecessor Joe Biden’s lenient approach. Since taking office in January, Trump has expanded the expedited removal of illegal immigrants and denied federal funding to sanctuary jurisdictions.According to Reuters, a resettled Iraqi refugee was deported to Rwanda last month, while the Supreme Court temporarily blocked the removal of Venezuelan migrants accused of gang affiliation.During a cabinet meeting at the White House last week, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington is “actively searching for other countries” to take “some of the most despicable human beings” identified for removal from the US.“And the further away from America, the better, so they can’t come back across the border,” he said. READ MORE: Rwanda demands $63 million from UK – media Rwanda has presented itself in recent years as a host country for people removed by Western nations, despite warnings from human rights organizations, including the UN refugee agency, that deportees sent to the African state risk being returned to the countries they fled. The UK Supreme Court also declared the scheme illegal, deeming Rwanda an unsafe third country for refugee resettlement. Kigali has denied the allegations. Read more Dmitry Trenin: Here’s why Trump’s foreign policy is calculated, not chaotic UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s administration scrapped the scheme upon taking office in July 2024, with Home Secretary Yvette Cooper stating it had cost taxpayers £700 million ($930 million). Starmer declared the plan “dead and buried,” asserting that it had “never served as a deterrent” to illegal immigration and would ultimately deport “less than 1%” of those arriving on small boats.Rwanda pushed back after the deal’s termination, reportedly demanding £50 million in compensation from the British government.",
