NACI Unreservedly Rejects The Baseless Smears & Insinuations Peddled Against A Trusted Friend To The African Continent
This claimed which was pushed by the Dutch military and general intelligence services, MIVD and AIVD, along with Germany's foreign intelligence service BND, accused Russia of violating the Chemical Weapons Convention. This allegation has been rejected by Russia as just another baseless piece of propaganda intended to embarrass the competent authorities in Moscow.
Normally it is not the policy of the New African Charter International (NACI) to join arguments with former colonial masters on issues bordering the rules of engagement in war time. We cannot argue either with the German or Dutch security on the situation in Ukraine, because they have already taken sides to execute the unipolar world order, whereby countries like Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, South Africa and more are top on the list for destabilization. They have the money, the technology and the mainstream media, to make the public believe they are always on the side of the truth, and any other opinion is considered an affront to western values.
The current report against a trusted and progressive friend, and strategic partner to Africa, i.e. Russia, and especially when such report focuses on baseless smears and insinuations, we see it our duty to join the millions of voices around the world to defend truth against unjust attacks. Having read the allegation peddled against Russia, with its ill-intentioned goal, we therefore state as follows:
The New African Charter International (NACI) notes with regret the unstopped race-filled propaganda and ethnic purification war that is being initiated and fought against Russia and Russian-speaking peoples. NACI vehemently rejects the malicious narrative in relation to the use of chemical weapons in the Ukraine war, which has been peddled by politically-motivated, war-profiteers and anti-Russian agents whose so-called concerned for human rights depends on spreading misinformation, disinformation and misleading narrative of hatreds. Such irresponsible and polarizing assumptions by German and Dutch security are meant to promote war, and against peace and reconciliation.
NACI wishes to make it pellucid that Russia had reported in 2024 that hostile European countries supplied ban weapons to Ukraine, which are now used against Russian soldiers in the frontlines. NACI wishes to make it clear that the German and Dutch security are only concern with the clinical execution of the plan to destabilise Russia, and not to promote peace, reconciliation, understanding, development and progress. That one should speculate that Russia is using chemical weapons in Ukraine is outrageous and completely baseless.
The allegations echo similar past claims, and this is not the first time Russia's military has faced such accusations that were given prominent headlines in the mainstream media. These claims have previously been fully rebutted by Moscow in detailed published technical reports, press statements, as well as in submissions made to the United Nations Security Council in New York. Such claims amount only to pure speculation, apparently designed as a last ditch attempt at milking the last millions stashed away from the European tax papers' money.
This latest allegation came at a time when Ukraine was making deals with its European masters and US defence companies to step up the production of drones that are needed to destabilize the Russian federation. Denmark has agreed to provide its territory as a pad to produce Ukrainian weapons and drones on the Scandinavian soil. Ukraine has also been promised to receive hundreds of thousands of additional drones this year, with many more in the following year, to boast its aggression against Russia.
Needless to remind politicians in Germany about their attempt to influence the decision of the International Court of Justice (ICF) for the case of genocide committed in Gaza, brought before it by South Africa, against Israel. Is it not hypocrisy and double standards at the highest international level for European politicians to unabashedly attacked South Africa for seeking justice at the ICJ, for the people of Palestine, and now want the world to bid their tailored narratives against Russia?
For the sake of peace, we urge European leaders and the US government to refrain from making comments or statements which promote hatred, misinformation and misguided beliefs and to cease meddling in the internal matters of Russia through distorted facts. We urge caution at a time when the world is seeking peace and not violence, progress and not retrogression, good governance and not political gangsterism.
God bless Russia!

Trump proposes 50% copper tariff, threatens 200% drug levy
Happy Wednesday and welcome to your morning wrap of the key business and political headlines. We begin in the United States, where President Donald Trump said he would impose a 50% tariff on copper imports, CNBC reported. The announcement at a cabinet meeting caused copper prices to jump to a record high. The US imports nearly half of the copper it uses. Trump ordered a probe in February into potential tariffs on copper on national security grounds. Meanwhile, Trump also threatened to impose a 200% tariff on pharmaceutical imports. He said the levy on pharmaceuticals would be introduced 'very soon' but would not go into effect immediately. 'We'll give them a certain period of time to get their act together,' Trump said, apparently referring to drugmakers. Pharmaceutical stocks appeared to shrug off the statement, as their prices remained relatively unchanged. The comments come as Trump wants to incentivise drug companies to move manufacturing to the US. Staying in the United States, Trump has lashed out at his Russian counterpart and has resumed sending weapons to Ukraine, ABC reported. During the same cabinet meeting, the President said he was 'very unhappy' that Vladimir Putin had made no progress on peace talks with Ukraine since the pair had a phone call last week. 'We get a lot of bulls**t thrown at us by Putin, if you want to know the truth," Trump told reporters. "He's very nice all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless." Trump hinted that he was considering further sanctions on Russia and confirmed the US would resume weapons shipments to Ukraine. Donald Trump. To the Middle East, where five Israeli soldiers were killed in an attack in northern Gaza, and 51 Palestinians were killed by Israeli strikes, the Associated Press reported. The soldiers were killed by an explosive device detonated in Beit Hanoun, according to an Israeli security official. Militants also opened fire on the soldiers, injuring 14 in the attack. Hamas officials at Nasser Hospital said 41 Palestinians were killed on Tuesday, and another 10 were killed in central Gaza. The rising death toll comes as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visits the US for talks about a ceasefire plan. A new round of indirect peace talks between Israel and Hamas began on Sunday. A Hamas supporter. In market news, it was a mixed day on Wall Street, as anxiety over Trump's tariff comments overshadowed earlier hopes for clarity on US trade policy, Reuters reported. The S&P 500 was flat, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.26%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq rose 0.21%. Wall Street equities sold off on Monday after Trump warned of new tariffs on goods from key trading partners but steadied overnight. There was no rebound, however, as investors remained concerned about the President's new sector-specific tariff threats. "There's still a lot of uncertainty about how the tariff story is going to play out. There are too many moving parts here," Paleo Leo managing director John Praveen said. Finally this morning, former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has joined investment bank Goldman Sachs as an adviser. The BBC reported that he would work part-time, advising the bank's clients on global politics and the economy. Sunak resigned as Prime Minister in July 2024 but remains the Conservative MP for Richmond and Northallerton in Yorkshire. He previously worked for the bank in the early 2000s. A condition of his employment prevents him from advising other governments or their sovereign wealth funds for the bank, or advising clients he had direct dealings with while Prime Minister. His salary will be donated to The Richmond Project, a charity he founded alongside his wife to improve numeracy across the UK.

Srebrenica, 30 Years On: UN Officials And Survivors Call For Truth, Justice And Vigilance
'I have survived a genocide,' said Munira Subašić, whose youngest son – her favourite – and 21 other family members were murdered in the July 1995 Srebrenica massacre. 'And the world and Europe was just watching in silence.' Now president of the Mothers of Srebrenica and Žepa, Ms. Subašić spoke at a special commemoration, urging global leaders not to forget the past and to deliver justice for the victims and survivors. ' When you kill a mother's child, you have killed a part of her,' Ms. Subašic said. Europe's worst atrocity since World War II The 1995 genocide, perpetrated by the Bosnian Serb army, led to the killing of at least 8,372 men and boys, the displacement of thousands and destruction of entire communities in Srebrenica – which had been designed a 'safe area' by the UN Security Council. A small and lightly armed unit of Dutch peacekeepers under the UN flag were unable to resist the large Bosnian Serb force, which overran the town of Srebrenica. The massacre has been formally recognized as genocide by both the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY). Last year, the General Assembly designated 11 July as the International Day of Reflection and Commemoration for the 1995 Genocide in Srebrenica. Remember and honour the victims Speaking on behalf of UN Secretary-General António Guterres, Chef de Cabinet Courtenay Rattray paid tribute to those who lost their lives and to the courage of their families. ' Today we remember and honour the victims. We pay tribute to the strength, dignity and resilience of the survivors,' he said. Mr. Guterres, in his message, said the international community must continue to stand against hatred, division, and denial. ' Only by recognizing the suffering of all victims can we build mutual understanding, trust, and lasting peace, ' he said. 'We must ensure the voices of Srebrenica survivors continue to be heard – countering denial, distortion and revisionism.' The dangers of forgetting UN officials expressed concern over ongoing efforts to deny the genocide and glorify those convicted of war crimes. They warned that such narratives can fuel division and hinder reconciliation. ' Education remains our strongest defence against the erosion of memory,' said Philémon Yang, President of the General Assembly. 'We must not only remember history, but learn from it so that tragedies like Srebrenica are never repeated.' Learning from the past is especially important today – the Secretary-General noted that the same 'dangerous currents' which led to the genocide in Srebrenica are present again in the world today. ' After Srebrenica, the world said – once again – 'Never Again.' Yet, hate speech is on the rise again, fuelling discrimination, extremism and violence, ' Mr. Guterres said. A family scattered Mirela Osmanović, a young professional at the Srebrenica Memorial Center, was born after the genocide but lives with its impact. Two of her brothers were killed. Some of their remains were found, but parts of their bodies are still missing. Their absence, she said, weighs on her family daily. ' My parents forbade themselves any joy while their sons, my brothers, lay somewhere in the ground, incomplete, scattered across mass graves – as if every smile would be betrayal, as if happiness might mean forgetting.' The pain of this loss is always with her family even as the world promised that Srebrenica would never happen again. 'We were given words, resolutions, statements, solemn promises of 'never again,'' she said. 'And yet, 30 years later, we are still asking what does 'never again' mean?' A new generation, still asking questions Ms. Osmanović speaks frequently with young people around the world who ask what happens when violence ends. 'What happens when the headlines fade, when the graves are found and facts are clear? Does justice follow?' Her answer is that justice does not follow often enough. ' Justice if it comes too late or only on paper cannot restore trust. And peace without dignity is not peace at all.' Years of commemoration In 2015, UN News spoke to Adama Dieng, the Secretary-General's special advisor on the prevention of genocide, who underlined the importance of remembering the Srebrenica genocide.
