In this conversation, Adesoji Iginla and Milton Allimadi discuss Egypt's decision to join South Africa in a lawsuit against Israel at the International Court of Justice.
They also explore the ongoing conflict in the Eastern Congo and the involvement of Rwanda, as well as the sale of troubled Kenyan tea estates to a Sri Lankan conglomerate.
The conversation highlights the geopolitical dynamics at play and the impact on the African continent.
The conversation covers two main themes: the exploitation of labor in the agricultural industry and the Palestinian struggle for statehood. In the first theme, the discussion focuses on the need for workers to have ownership and control over agricultural corporations to ensure fair wages, decent working conditions, and economic empowerment.
The second theme explores the recent UN vote to grant new rights and privileges to Palestine and the call for the Security Council to reconsider Palestine's request for full membership. The conversation suggests that a bold move, such as declaring independence and forming a unity government, is necessary for the Palestinian cause.
