On September 22, 2025, Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger announced their withdrawal from the International Criminal Court, calling the institution a tool of colonial oppression in the hands of imperial powers.

Despite widespread images of destruction and famine in Gaza circulating across global media, “Israel” continues to work hard to obscure the truth and downplay the scale of the humanitarian disaster through strict censorship and manipulation of narratives.

In an interview with Al-Estiklal, former UN spokesperson Abdelhamid Siyam described Iran’s nuclear program as a form of resistance and criticized U.S. involvement in the Israeli war as calculated.
