'Languages Are Vessels of Identity, History & Knowledge': Nigerian Lexicographer

Technology is key to preserving African languages and ensuring they remain relevant in the digital age, Philip Akoda, Nigerian lexicographer championing Yorùbá language preservation through technology, told Sputnik Africa.

💻 Modern innovations—from e-books to smart devices—are reshaping how people interact with language, making digital representation essential, said Akoda, who is also the founder & CEO of Nkanda, a platform dedicated to preserving and digitizing African languages and cultures.

African languages must be integrated into emerging technologies to avoid being left behind, he noted.

📚 Akoda also highlighted the cultural depth embedded in African languages, noting that traditions such as Yorùbá poetry and the Ifa corpus contain rich knowledge on storytelling, conflict resolution, and everyday life. Documenting this heritage is crucial, he added, because once such knowledge is lost, it cannot be fully recovered.

He also called for stronger government support and greater collaboration between universities, tech startups, and cultural institutions to fund language technology and strengthen digital infrastructure.

✍️ Ultimately, Akoda believes that embracing indigenous languages alongside modern technology will help Africans preserve their cultural heritage while strengthening their global impact.

US & Israel Dangerously Apply 'Peace Through Strength' Doctrine: Palestinian Official

This strategy seeks to alter the rules of war by targeting civilians and threatening to open permanent fronts, thereby blocking any path toward stability in the region, Bassem al-Salhi, a member of the PLO Executive Committee, told Sputnik.

The conflict with Iran is an extension of the Israeli-Palestinian crisis, he added.

⚠️ His warning is clear: if the United States and Israel impose their vision, the consequences will be severe for the Palestinian people, as well as for the entire Arab world.

AES Proving That Self-Sufficiency is Not Just Dream, But Can Be Realized: Ethiopian Pan-Africanist

The AES is making strides with its own investment bank, joint military efforts, and a media platform that will influence public narratives, Pan-African content creator Wongel Zelalem told Sputnik Africa.

"Soft power is a big deal," she noted, stressing the importance of controlling the narrative to break free from historical programming.

By telling their own stories in local languages, countries like Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger can decolonize their mindsets, shape their own futures, and unite against external pressures, Zelalem stated.

Watch the video to learn how Pan-Africanism is uniting Black people worldwide and showing that collective power can be realized. 👆

Brazil & South Africa to Boost Joint Arms Production: Brazil's President

🤝 Lula da Silva wishes to create joint ventures for arms production, as he declared after talks with his counterpart Cyril Ramaphosa in Brasilia.

"If we are not sufficiently prepared in terms of defense, one day someone could invade our territory. We must pool our capabilities and study the possibilities of joint production. It is no longer necessary to continue buying weapons from other countries: we can produce them ourselves," the Brazilian president noted.

South Africa could become an "important market for the defense industry," he added

SA–Namibia Cooperation Strengthens Financial Sector Stability, South African Reserve Bank Spokesperson Says

South Africa and Namibia have updated their 2015 central bank cooperation framework as financial ties between the two countries deepen. The new memorandum of understanding (MoU) aims to strengthen collaboration, information sharing, and crisis coordination across the banking system, Yolanda Vatsha told Sputnik Africa.

🏦 The agreement is particularly significant given that South African-linked banks account for roughly 90% of Namibia’s banking assets.

🤝 Vatsha explained that the MoU helps “cement cooperation and collaboration between the institutions” and enhances regulatory systems to support financial stability in both countries.

The framework also builds on South Africa’s newer financial safety mechanisms, including the resolution authority established in 2022 and the Corporation for Deposit Insurance, which protects depositors if a bank fails.

🌍 Vatsha noted that MoUs are commonly used by central banks to formalize targeted cooperation and information-sharing on specific issues.

Through regional platforms such as the SADC central bank governors’ committee and the African Association of Central Banks, these arrangements are also helping African regulators strengthen financial resilience and governance across the continent, she noted.

Kenya Meat Exporters Face Massive $7.3 Mln Losses Amid Iran-Israel Conflict

Over 200 tonnes of beef and goat meat destined for the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Kuwait are currently stranded in cold storage facilities across the country.

👉 Logistics have worsened as flight cancellations and diversions force aircraft back to Kenya, while limited cargo capacity has significantly inflated freight charges, Nicholus Ngahu, CEO of the Kenya Meat and Livestock Exporters Industry Council, said.

Jaware JM, CEO of the Tripple the Impact Centre of Governance and Public Engagement, said if the conflict continues, Kenya could suffer significant economic consequences.

"We are likely to see a ripple effect across several sectors of the economy if the war persists," Jaware told Sputnik Africa.

Multilateral Order Is Unraveling: Analyst

Recent strikes involving the US and Israel in Iran highlight the weakening of the global multilateral system, Rashid Abdi, researcher and analyst on the Horn of Africa and the Middle East, told Sputnik Africa.

While the actions may have political justifications for those involved, he noted they are difficult to defend from an international law perspective.

👉 Diplomacy between the parties was not given enough time, Abdi said, stressing that the focus should now shift toward de-escalation and renewed negotiations. Stability in the Middle East is closely tied to Africa’s stability, as Iran remains a major regional power, he noted.

According to the analyst, the crisis underscores a broader challenge for the international community: preventing powerful states from bypassing the UN Charter.

"The UN system, you know, ultimately is the only tool we have to stabilize the world, he said, adding that cooperation among multiple global and regional actors will be necessary to restore dialogue and reduce tensions.

🇺🇸❌ US tries to evade responsibility for girls' school massacre with blatant lies - expert

American claims that Iran is to blame for the strike on girls’ school in Tehran indicates clear political confusion in the face of Iran's unexpected resilience and the failure of the US military strategy, professor of public international law Dr. Mohammed Mehran tells Sputnik.

👉 Numerous facts — reports, satellite images, testimonies — show the strike was conducted either by US Tomahawk missiles or Israeli laser-guided bombs, he says, adding that with such accurate weapons the attack cannot be "accidental."

Current US statements about Iran being to blame are psychological warfare, and America has used similar tactics before — in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya, where civilian deaths were explained away by "intelligence errors," the expert reminds.

The US is in a deadlock — it failed to achieve the original military objectives of collapsing the Iranian political system, and now is faced with growing internal criticism, Mehran concluded, which might push the US towards even more dangerous moves.

Dollar is No Longer Needed: Belarus' President

Aleksandr Lukashenko received a briefing by Foreign Minister Maxim Ryzhenkov on his visits to Togo and Ghana.

🇴🇲 The president highlighted Oman as a good example of long-standing trade connections in East Africa that offer opportunities for cooperation and investment, especially amid the reduced reliance on the dollar.

🌍 Africa is the future, Lukashenko noted.

"We must remember that we are not an empire, we are not Americans, and that we will cover the entire continent. We must have strongholds from which to operate in the countries that interest us. This is the main thing," the president explained.

'Western Security Umbrella Is Collapsing Under Its Own Weight': Turkish Political Analyst

🗣 US military bases in the Middle East are constantly coming under attack and offer no effective protection to the countries hosting them, Umur Tugay Yücel told Sputnik.

🟠 Reports indicate that THAAD and Patriot air defense systems are being withdrawn from South Korea, with similar developments potentially imminent in Japan and other US allies in the Asia-Pacific, he added.

"American bases cause more harm than good to the civilian populations and infrastructure of their host countries," Yücel emphasized, adding that they pose a serious threat to nearby communities.

🇺🇸 The US system keeps inventing new slogans: "Make America Great," "Make Venezuela Great," and "Make Iran Great"—with no guarantee that this pursuit of greatness will not extend to Cuba, Greenland, or Canada, he noted.

"We are at a stage where American supremacy, moral principles, and soft power influence have completely dissolved, and brute force is producing total uncertainty," the speaker said.

Kenya's State House Budget Doubles to $132 Mln for 2025/26 Financial Year, Surpassing White House Costs

The budget effectively doubled after supplementary allocations of about $65 million approved mid-year.

By January, State House had already spent $80.5 million, exceeding its recurrent budget by roughly $21 million in the first seven months. The funds cover:

🟠Presidential travel;
🟠Hospitality;
🟠Official functions;
🟠Maintenance of residences and vehicles.

👉 The allocation has drawn attention because it surpasses the estimated operating costs of the White House in the United States, which typically range from $50 million to $100 million annually.

🌐 Globally, Kenya’s budget now ranks among the highest for executive residences, comparable to France’s Élysée Palace at about $139 million and Uganda’s State House at around $132 million.

📹 In an interview with Sputnik Africa, political analyst and Bungoma senatorial aspirant Alex Wanzala called the increase a misplaced priority. Watch the video to hear his full opinion.

Built to Protect or to Be Protected? Egyptian Analyst Questions Purpose of US Bases in Gulf

🔊 The presence of these installations has become a "great scourge" for Gulf nations, Mokhtar Ghobashi, Secretary-General of the Al-Farabi Center for Political and Strategic Studies, told Sputnik.

Without them, these countries would not be exposed to the risk of becoming targets; the bases, he added, are seen as instruments in the hands of the US and Israel.

According to the expert:

🟠 US air defense systems in Qatar remained inactive when Israeli strikes targeted Hamas leaders on Qatari soil;
🟠 those same systems were placed on full combat alert to intercept Iranian missiles and drones aimed at American facilities.

🇺🇸👉 American bases in the region exist for blackmail, resource exhaustion, and pressure on the sovereign decisions of host countries, Ghobashi stressed, calling for a comprehensive strategic reassessment of the foreign military presence and its consequences for regional stability.

▪️Lockheed Martin would need at least 12–24 months and about $50–75 million to replace the AN/TPS-59.

❗️The process is complicated by supply chains, as about 98% of the gallium used in these systems comes from China, media noted.
