Former US President Donald Trump has won the US Presidential elections and is putting together his new team.  As the days of his swearing in as the 47th President of the United States of America approach, questions regarding  the reasons behind the failure of Democrats have been raised and many answers are being formulated from both sides. The reasons for the failure of Democrats in the 2024 elections appear to be clear for most political analysts. However, more than that, as often  highlighted by AfroAmerica Network on several occasions over the  years as the elections approached and during the 2024 Donald Trump played  and remained a Phenomenal Phenomenon in  the US Presidential Elections.

With the win, when he is sworn in as the 47th US President, he will make a history, as the second former president to return to the White House after a failed reelection bid and the oldest US President.  Donald Trump's win has been received with jubilation across most voter segments and key states. It  has also fueled in US  and worldwide expectations on wars in Ukraine and Gaza, relations with Europe, China and Taiwan due to economic policies,  tensions with South America on immigration actions,  and economic changes, with the US stock market indices shooting higher and reaching new records.  As usual, Africa is nowhere mentioned..

The much anticipated first debate between US Vice-President Kamala Harris and  former President Donald Trump occurred on Tuesday, September 10, 2024 from 9:00 PM to 10:30 PM EST in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As expected,  the highlights were more on the drama, the distanced skirmishes and the clashes between the two US presidential candidates.  The debate, the first in their campaign since US President Joe Biden dropped out, was feisty, focusing on sharing personal insults and criticisms over their policies.  This time again, the debate organizers did not allow talking over each other, but the candidates seemed eager to step in and talk over each other.   Some facial reactions gave  the impression of comic acts and some dramatic moments became unavoidable.

In 2018 - 2019, the Rwandan government and NBA agreed on launching  the Basketball Africa League (BAL) in Rwanda. The project was launched after Rwandan government built a $104 million stadium in one of the poorest countries in the World.

Over the last days, the protests have become violent with protestors setting ablaze the city hall,  the governor's office,  and the country's parliament in the capital Nairobi and the police shooting dead many protesters. The protests are getting the support of political activists and opposition leaders across Africa and the World, while William Ruto is being labelled the next incompetent African dictator.  

Over a long period, a pattern of repression, crimes, assassinations and kidnappings have marked the Rwandan regime under the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) since 1994, ruled by the Rwandan dictator Paul Kagame. Despite well documented proofs, these crimes and repressions  appeared to be overlooked by the international community, influential media, and other main organizations. Even Western Democracies have seemed to overlook these crimes and bloody repression and continued to support and  welcome Paul Kagame and other RPF leaders.  In May 2024, the nonprofit organization Forbidden Stories, under the Rwanda Classified project, published results of  cover investigations on the crimes and repression committed by the Rwandan regime. The findings show horrific actions, leading to questions on what is next for the Rwandan regime and its leaders.
