New survey says over 61 thousand dead in Sudan’s Khartoum state with death toll likely higher than reported

More than 61,000 people are estimated to have died in Khartoum state during the first 14 months of Sudan’s war, with evidence suggesting the toll from the devastating conflict is significantly higher than previously recorded, according to a new report by researchers in Britain and Sudan.

The estimate includes some 26,000 people who suffered violent deaths, a higher figure than one currently used by the United Nations for the entire country.

The preprint study by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine’s Sudan Research Group, released on Wednesday before peer review, suggested that starvation and disease are increasingly becoming the leading causes of death reported across Sudan.

The estimated deaths from all causes in Khartoum state were at a rate 50 percent higher than the national average before the conflict between the army and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces erupted in April 2023, researchers said.

The UN says the conflict has driven 11 million people from their homes and unleashed the world’s biggest hunger crisis. Nearly 25 million people – half of Sudan’s population – need aid as famine has taken hold in at least one displacement camp.

Deep State Kicks Off 2024 Pandemic with Monkeypox “Scare” in Africa

It’s 2024, so it’s time for another global health panscamdemic.

The WHO has declared another “global health emergency,” according to the BBC.

Questions remain about exactly how Monkeypox is spreading, since the WHO and even NBC have indicated that Monkeypox is largely transmitted via promiscuous sexual behavior.

The WHO also recommended that homosexual males reduce the amount of intercourse they have to help prevent the rapid transmission of the virus.

Unfortunately, so-called “health” officials in the U.S. are still employed, and are likely to play along.

Texas was among the first states to report a Monkeypox-infected death back in 2022, the last time the Deep State tried to make Monkeypox happen.

Georgetown University, a supposedly Catholic institution, hopped aboard the God-hating globalist plan to impose medical tyranny citing Monkeypox in 2022 by bringing back mask mandates well after the COVID scam had run its course.

One case of K9 monkeypox in 2022 was attributed to the dog’s gay French owners.

Monkeypox has flown under the radar for most Americans.

But not for Anthony Fauci and Joe Biden.

WHO Schedules Emergency Meeting Over Mpox Outbreak

The World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed it will hold an emergency meeting on mpox and whether to declare the virus as “a public health emergency of international concern,” its director-general confirmed over the weekend.

The emergency meeting will be held on Wednesday, Aug. 14, to see if mpox, a virus known as monkeypox that has been spreading in about 10 African nations, should prompt the international emergency, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus wrote on social media.

“If so, it will advise me on the temporary recommendations on how to better prevent and reduce the spread of the disease and manage the global public health response,” he said.

A public health emergency of international concern is the WHO’s highest alarm and allows the U.N. agency to use emergency responses under its international health regulations. Since 2005, there have been seven such declarations, including for COVID-19 in 2020, the zika virus epidemic in 2015, and previous mpox outbreaks in 2022 and 2023.

Mpox is caused by a virus transmitted to people from infected animals but can be passed from person to person via close physical contact. Symptoms include boil-like skin lesions and rashes, a fever, and muscle aches.

Officials say that a different strain of the virus known as Clade I that is currently impacting several African countries may cause more severe illness than the variant that caused a worldwide outbreak in 2022, known as Clade II.

Ukraine’s ‘terrorist nature’ on full display in Mali, where it supports rebels — MFA

Russia doesn’t want the world to forget that Kiev is supporting terrorism in Mali, so it will continue to shine a light on this in the international arena, Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.

“On August 4, the transitional government of Mali published an official statement about the ‘immediate’ severing of diplomatic relations with Ukraine. Precipitating this move were statements from Ukrainian officials (the spokesman for the Ukrainian military intelligence, Andrey Yusov, and Ambassador to Senegal Yury Pivovarov) about Kiev aiding terrorist forces that carried out an attack on a convoy of Malian servicemen in northern Mali in late July,” the diplomat pointed out. “We will continue to direct the world community’s attention, including at multilateral platforms, to Kiev’s barbaric behavior,” she underscored.

Zakharova emphasized that the terrorist nature of the Kiev regime is becoming more and more apparent to the whole world. “Having failed to defeat Russia on the battlefield, the criminal regime of Vladimir Zelensky decided to open a ‘second front’ in Africa. He and his accomplices are pampering terrorist groups in Moscow-friendly states of the continent,” she stressed.

WHO Director Considers Declaring Public Health Emergency Over Mpox Virus Outbreak

The World Health Organization’s director-general said the United Nations health body is considering declaring an emergency for mpox, also known as monkeypox, amid an outbreak in Africa.

“But more funding and support for a comprehensive response are needed,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus wrote on the social media platform X on Sunday. “I am considering convening an International Health Regulations emergency committee to advise me on whether the outbreak of mpox should be declared a public health emergency of international concern.”

By Tuesday, it was unclear when the WHO would declare the emergency or issue any warnings about the virus.

A statement from Tedros published by the journal Science added that “this virus can and must be contained with intensified public health measures including surveillance, community engagement, treatment and targeted deployment of vaccines for those at higher risk of infection.”

“A further scaling up of the mpox response underway in affected countries is urgently needed amid the expanding outbreak,” his statement said, calling for “more funding for a comprehensive response” that factors in diagnostics, therapeutics, and vaccines.

A public health emergency of international concern is the strongest designation for an outbreak. Notably, such a declaration was made for COVID-19 during the early onset of the pandemic in 2020.

No, Africa Is Not Moving Toward a Gold-Backed Currency, and Neither Is Anyone Else

Speculation has long existed that nations like China or Russia, or groups such as BRICS, ASEAN, OPEC, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), or the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), might start using gold for trade or establish a common gold-backed currency to dethrone the dollar and impoverish America. However, gold cannot function as currency, and with the US holding the most gold, it would remain the richest country, unraveling this narrative quickly.

The countries with the largest gold reserves are the United States (8,133 metric tons), Germany (3,352 metric tons), Italy (2,452 metric tons), France (2,437 metric tons), Russia (2,336 metric tons), and China (2,264 metric tons). Even in a gold-based world, the US still has the most.

The issue with using physical gold as currency is that every point of purchase would need the ability to weigh the gold and evaluate its purity. Additionally, creating small enough gold coins for minor purchases is impractical. For instance, the average price of a pack of gum in the US is $1 to $2, equating to 0.061% of an ounce of gold. This is less than a single grain of sand, making it an almost imperceptible amount.

Since gold is not viable as a currency, the next option is a gold-backed currency. However, no country or group has enough gold to support its GDP.

How the British were forced to reveal secret files on torture of Kenyan resistance fighters

As the colonial forces were preparing to leave Kenya, in the days leading up to its independence from Britain in 1963, they were given one last order.

Before they left, they took with them crates upon crates of files; the contents of which painted a gruesome picture of the violence and torture they’d inflicted on Kenya’s resistance movement, the Mau Mau.

For decades afterwards, the British government denied the files existed and hid them from the world.

But as a result of the determination of Mau Mau survivors, the truth was eventually forced out. 

“They’re trying to control a narrative, they’re trying to control a perception of how they’re seen,” Kenyan historian Chao Tayiana said.

“There was torture, there was violence and this took place on a mass scale.”

Global Instability and the Rise of the “Great Resource Grab”

In the past three years China has accelerated export agreements and industrial operations in Africa, becoming the continent’s largest bilateral trade partner. Given Africa’s complete lack of development and GDP, the Asian rush to cement economic ties might seem strange. However, I would argue that China is adapting to events that haven’t quite happened yet.

I’m referring to a major global shift away from interdependent markets (i.e. traditional globalism) into a chaotic period of trade “protectionism”. I’m talking about the end of the current model of export-based nations supplying goods to the west in exchange for advantageous trade deficits and access to dollars. This will be the era of what I call the “Great Resource Grab.”

I believe China is positioning itself for this era, perhaps out of desperation due to the disastrous economic decline they are currently trying to hide from the rest of the world, or maybe the CCP has been given a warning from globalist interests (China’s government has been exceedingly supportive of the IMF’s one-world digital currency push, and it makes sense that globalists would give them vital information on future disasters in exchange).

Why Africa? Because of the lack of modern development, Africa is a vast land mass loaded with untapped natural resources. China is importing billions in raw materials including vital metals from Africa and they are trying to establish infrastructure to increase the extraction of these commodities. If you’re familiar with China’s rotting domestic conditions, then you understand what is happening here – China has hollowed out their own country and they must spread into other regions to survive.

To be sure, Africa is not the only place in which the Chinese are quietly setting up camp. There are diplomatic agreements with Russia that have given them access to farm land in the north, and the Chinese have even been buying up farmland in the US (nearly 400,000 acres according to official reports). In America, anyone that questions this trend is immediately accused of “conspiracy theory” and I would argue this tells us A LOT about what is really happening.

Ohio Town Flooded With African Migrants After Social Media Apps Teach How To Illegally Enter USA

Hundreds of illegal aliens from the West African country of Mauritania have recently descended upon Cincinnati, Ohio, thanks to social media apps TikTok and WhatsApp providing them with instructions.

According to Fox 19 Cincinnati, around one thousand Mauritanians have settled in the city in recent weeks.

U.S. Border Patrol data shows over 8,500 Mauritanians entered the U.S. between March and June.

John Keuffer, the CEO of a Cincinnati non-profit called Valley Interfaith Community Resource Center, told Fox 19, “We don’t know where they’re from, we don’t know how to communicate with them, and it created quite an issue for us.”

Russia accuses U.S. of expanding biological weapons research in Africa

Russia is now accusing the United States of expanding its bioweapons research on the African continent.

Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov, head of the Russian Armed Forces’ Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Protection Forces, made this claim earlier in the week based on information his troops have garnered. The information alleges that the U.S. is shifting gears after similar programs that America had underway in former Ukrainian territories were stopped by Russia during the conflict there.

Kirillov stated: “Because Russia has managed to halt the implementation of biological warfare programs in Ukraine’s liberated territories, the Pentagon is forced to transfer incomplete research under Ukrainian projects to other regions.”

He claimed that U.S. Department of Defense contractors are working on such programs in a number of African countries, including as South Africa, Uganda, Sierra Leone, Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

According to Kirillov, the U.S. works with outside parties in an attempt to obscure this activity. They named a number of intermediaries, such as EcoHealth Alliance and Metabiota, that they believe are being used as part of the expanded bioweapon biological warfare programs in Africa.

He also identified several examples to support his claims. For example, he pointed to U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases staff carrying out a large-scale study of hantavirus from bats in Kenya last October.

In a more recent example, he cited a meeting between officials from the Pentagon and the Department of Health and Human Services with disease control officials in Africa to explore the possibility of developing lab capabilities there.
