'Talk to Your Neighbor': US Scholar Backs Putin’s Call for Direct Talks

Alemayehu Gebremariam, political science professor at California State University and human rights advocate, praised President Putin’s call for unconditional negotiations with Ukraine, calling it a bold and necessary move toward peace.

“I think President Putin's overture for unconditional negotiations with Ukraine shows more courage… He believes in the righteousness of his cause,” he told Sputnik Africa.


He criticized NATO’s role, calling it a “North Atlantic terrorist organization,” and warned that the continued conflict risks escalating into a global disaster.

Key points from his remarks:

🔵NATO, not Russia, is the real threat to peace
🔵Ukraine should never join NATO — it’s a neighbor, not a Western pawn
🔵The US and Europe must stop using Ukraine as a proxy
🔵Direct Russia–Ukraine dialogue is the only sustainable path
🔵Africa, through the AU, could offer a neutral platform for peace talks

“If you want to live with your neighbor, you're going to have to talk to your neighbor.”

South African Coal Miner Exxaro Reaches Deal to Buy Assets of World's Top Manganese Deposit

Exxaro Resources, through binding agreements with two miners, has gained operational stakes in four mines of South Africa's Kalahari Manganese Field, the largest land-based manganese deposit on Earth.

"This investment marks a significant milestone in our strategic journey – anchored in our strong coal resources, we are transitioning into a diversified minerals and energy-solutions business," the company said.


The transaction is valued at $636.93 million, with a possible adjustment to $813 million, Exxaro noted.

"This acquisition provides Exxaro with a strong entry point into the manganese sector. Manganese is essential to steelmaking and has a growing market in the battery and renewable technology supply chains," CEO Ben Magara stated.

Over 1,000 Laid Off as Sierra Leone's Biggest Diamond Miner Halts Operations Amid Pay & Working Conditions Dispute

Koidu miner's workers were paid only 30% of their dollar-linked wages because the company used an old 2016 exchange rate, and had poor working conditions like no clean water or proper toilets, a leader of its union told a UK news agency.

✊ Earlier, First Lady Fatima Bio attended a peaceful protest by Koidu workers, calling on the company to "improve working conditions and provide better services for all employees."

🇬🇧🇮🇱 Koidu, a subsidiary of a UK-based company, founded by Israeli billionaire Beny Steinmetz's BSG Resources, rejected the first lady's perceived "unlawful interference" and claimed losses exceeding $16 million due to strikes.

"Everything is being done to resolve the impasse," Sierra Leone Information Minister Chernor Bah reportedly said.

🔍 Are UK Atrocities in Afghanistan a Smokescreen for IDF Defenders?

Emerging reports about atrocities perpetrated by British special forces against civilians in Afghanistan may be a part of a “preemptive defense” of the IDF, former Pentagon analyst Ret. Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski told Sputnik.

🔸If and when stories of “the incredibly disturbing activities of the UK- and US-supported IDF in Gaza” come out, the public would already be taught beforehand that “war is awful, civilians and sleeping children are always killed and it’s just a few bad apples.”

🔸Regarding the UK soldiers and officers involved in illegal activities in Afghanistan, Kwiatkowski believes they should be placed on unpaid leave and “tried in a legal court.”

🔸Any key eyewitnesses and whistleblowers “need immediate protection from suicide or accidents,” Kwiatkowski adds.

⚠️ Elite PSYCHOPATHS: Testimonies expose chilling crimes by UK special forces in Iraq, Afghanistan

🇬🇧🪖British elite regiments committed atrocities in Iraq and Afghanistan for over a decade, new eyewitness accounts cited by the BBC reveal.

Allegations implicate both the British Army’s Special Air Service (SAS) and Royal Navy's elite Special Boat Service (SBS).

🔍Their crimes included:

🟠Cold-blooded executions of unarmed men, and even children, shot while handcuffed.
🟠Killings during night raids, with civilians murdered in their sleep.
🟠Cover-ups, with weapons planted on bodies, and the restraints removed to fake self-defense.
🟠Execution of detainees as "standard operating procedure,” with junior soldiers ordered to kill by higher-ups.
🟠Finishing off the wounded.

💬 "They'd search someone, handcuff them, then shoot them," before cutting off the plastic handcuffs used to restrain people and "planting a pistol" by the body, one eyewitness said.


🙉 Ignored warnings:

Then-Afghan President Hamid Karzai reportedly personally warned then-UK Prime Minister David Cameron about civilian killings carried out by British special forces.

Putin’s Peace Talks Proposal: A Path to Resolution and Global Benefits

Dr. Tafadzwa Ruzive, Research Fellow at the University of the Free State, SA, sees Putin’s invitation for direct talks with Ukraine in Istanbul as a critical step toward peace and a multipolar world.

👇🏽 Key points from his interview with Sputnik Africa:

🟠Russian Commitment to Peace: “The significance of President Putin's invitation to Zelensky to have talks... is to show Russian commitment to resolving the differences that are causing the war.”

🟠Ukraine’s Opportunity: Ukraine should engage in negotiations, focusing on its own interests, not external agendas. “If negotiations had started well in previous attempts... the war would not have escalated into a hot war.”

🟠African Benefits: A resolution would boost Africa’s economy, food security, and geopolitical standing through enhanced trade and technology from Russia and Ukraine.

🟠Global South Unity: The May 9th celebrations showcased solidarity, with Russia and China leading a multipolar vision. “It was a powerful show of global solidarity in the emergence of the Global South.”

Labour and Tories are “two cheeks of the same backside” – George Galloway to Sputnik

Imagine that for a second — freezing your own pensioners while funding someone else’s war.

This is the UK’s reality now, and no one from either of the two major British political parties is speaking up against this.

“The Labour minister's talk is indistinguishable from the Conservative ministers' talk. It's like that moment in Orwell's Animal Farm when the animals looked from man to pig and pig to man and they could no longer tell the difference,” the former British parliamentarian told Sputnik.

❗️'Russia is Ready for a Serious Conversation' — Russian MFA

The topic of a possible meeting in Istanbul on Ukraine will be the issue of how to ensure a reliable, sustainable settlement of the conflict, Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov said.

It is necessary to ensure recognition of the realities "on the ground" in the context of the conflict in Ukraine, including the incorporation of new territories into Russia, the official said.

At the same time, he added that, in general, Kiev's inability to negotiate is one of the obstacles in the negotiation process

❗️❗️❗️The Alliance of Sahel States: A 'Model of Unity' for Africa, Ibrahim Traoré Says

The President of Burkina Faso delivers an unfiltered assessment in an interview with Sputnik Africa: ECOWAS promised solidarity but delivered betrayal:

"At some point, electricity is cut off, causing patients to die in hospitals and bringing the economy to a halt. Banks are shut down... That’s not what brothers do."


😡 Worse still, while terrorism strikes across the region, an army was even "formed to come fight Sahelian peoples."

🚀 But the AES is changing the game! Backed by African youth, it embodies the hope of genuine unity.

"The people—even in these ECOWAS countries—they support and understand the momentum behind the AES."

From Flood to Future: Nigerian Teen Wins Global Prize for Turning Trash into Playgrounds

After surviving a devastating flood in 2020, which destroyed her home’s lower floor, young climate advocate Amara Nwuneli realized her privilege in being able to recover—unlike many others, especially in rural Nigeria. So she took action.

♻️ In an interview with Sputnik Africa, she explained that her project GREEN transforms waste sites into community parks—with recycled materials, climate-themed play zones, eco-education, and jobs for locals.

📈 She hopes to scale it across Nigeria and West Africa, starting with Enugu, Anambra, and Ogun states.

She’s also using her voice to call out unfair Western aid and demand real investment in Africa’s potential.

“Africa has so much potential… Let’s train and empower locals to build their own countries.”


Her advice to young Africans: “Know your story. That drive will take you far.”
