[Hungarian Conservative] Nigerian American Professor of Second Language Acquisition Uju Anya at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has caused outrage with a post she shared on the social media site X on Friday, 11 September—the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks.
Since then, she has deleted her entire X account, not just the post itself. However, screenshots of her outrageous statement have been saved and circulated on the site. The professor wrote: ’Die first, white man, then ask yourself why I’m dancing.’
Carnegie Mellon University has announced that it is reviewing the post following the massive online backlash and described their professor’s words as ’threatening and hostile’.
According ot the Nigerian news site Leadership.ng, Anya has decided to go on ’voluntary leave’ while the investigation into her online conduct is carried out by the university.
This is not the first time Uju Anya has made outrageous statements on social media—and it typically involves the death of white people.
In 2022, upon hearing the news of the imminent death of Queen Elizabeth II of England, she wrote: ’I heard the chief monarch of a thieving, raping, genocidal empire is finally dying. May her pain be excruciating.’
Similarly, she celebrated the death of conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh in 2021.
While Uju Anya’s X account has now been deleted, the cached version of its bio is still visible through a Google search. In it, the controversial professor described herself as an anarchist and a feminist.
She deleted her Twitter account, but seems to have left her Carnegie Mellon web page untouched, along with her other social media.
Lesbian is in the list, too, which she couldn’t have gotten away with, back home.
Professor of Second Language Acquisition
Great fun to watch when it happens in early childhood — as it does for the 20% of Americans who grow up with more than one language in the home, a very different process for primary school children, and a third process, much more laborious because it involves a different part of the brain, for secondary school students and adults. None of these things have anything to do with race or class, except that the poorer are more likely to have the advantage of more than one language in the home, while those better off are more likely to have formal foreign language classes at school later, when it’s harder to learn the thing. One of the many things, like character building, where the advantage is with the less monied, though their surroundings might be less overtly comfortable.
I imagine the good professoress knows nothing about this, having been reared not to be aware of such things, along with a stunning lack of manners.

[ShabelleMedia] Eritrea ...is run by the People's Front for Democracy and Justice (PFDJ), with about the amounts of democracy and justice you'd expect from a party with that name. National elections have been periodically scheduled and cancelled; none have ever been held in the country. The president, Isaias Afewerki, has been in office since independence in 1993 and will probably die there of old age... has accused the United Arab Emirates of pursuing what it described as "port-based colonialism" across Africa, raising particular concerns over Abu Dhabi’s expanding influence around strategic ports in the Horn of Africa, including Somalia.
Eritrean Foreign Minister Osman Saleh said the UAE’s presence at ports across the region went beyond commercial interests and involved strategic objectives that African governments should scrutinise closely.
Eritrea pointed to the prominent role of UAE-owned companies, particularly DP World, in the Horn of Africa. The company operates the port of Berbera in Somaliland ...Republic of Somaliland is an unrecognised sovereign state in the Horn of Africa, recognised internationally as a de jure part of Somalia. It is located in the southern coast of the Gulf of Aden with approximately 5.7 million residents as of 2021. The capital and largest city is Hargeisa. The government regards itself as the successor state to British Somaliland, which united from 1960 to 1991 with the Trust Territory of Somaliland (the former Italian Somaliland) to form the Somali Republic. Under the Siad Barre regime, Somaliadestroyed ninety percent of Hargeisa Per international law, once you're in, you gotta stay in, no matter how bad it smells.... and has also been involved in the development and management of the port of Bosaso in Somalia’s Puntland ...a region in northeastern Somalia, centered on Garowe in the Nugaal province. Its leaders declared the territory an autonomous state in 1998. Puntland and the equally autonomous Somaliland seem to have avoided the clan rivalries and warlordism that have typified the rest of Somalia, which puts both places high on the list for Islamic subversion... region.
The ports are strategically located near the Gulf of Aden and major maritime routes linking the Red Sea with the Indian Ocean, making them increasingly important in regional trade and security.
Asmara said it had previously rejected attempts linked to DP World establishing a presence in Eritrea and opposed reported plans for the UAE to establish a military facility on the Dahlak Islands.
The UAE previously operated a military base in the Eritrean port city of Assab, which played an important role in Saudi-led military operations in Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... Somalia has emerged as a particular focus of the wider debate because of its long coastline and strategic position along the Gulf of Aden and Indian Ocean, close to the Red Sea shipping corridor.
The UAE’s involvement in Somali ports has become politically sensitive, particularly because of its ties with Somaliland and Puntland. Somalia’s federal government has repeatedly objected to major port agreements and investments being concluded without the involvement of the central government.
Eritrea also criticised the UAE’s relations with Æthiopia and Israel, warning that foreign powers were expanding their influence in the Horn of Africa at a time of heightened political tensions and security challenges.
The dispute highlights growing competition over the Horn of Africa’s ports, where commercial investment, military interests and geopolitical influence increasingly overlap.
It also underscores a broader question in Somalia over which authorities have the power to negotiate major agreements involving the country’s ports and maritime resources, as competition around the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden continues to reshape the region’s strategic landscape.
[Reuters] The Trump administration on Monday signaled it is nearing approval for permits to mine the deep sea, part of a broader push to boost U.S. access to the critical minerals used across much of the country's economy.
Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said during a gathering of G20 energy ministers in Houston that permits could come within months as the administration pursues a strategy of "energy addition" to expand supply chains for the country and allies.
Since returning to office last year, President Donald Trump has taken steps to bolster the nascent deep-sea mining industry, although he has yet to issue operational permits for it to proceed.
The specter of seabed mining being allowed to commence has alarmed many environmentalists due to concern it could cause irreversible biodiversity loss.
Parts of the Pacific Ocean and elsewhere are estimated to contain large amounts of potato-shaped rocks known as polymetallic nodules that contain the building blocks for electric vehicles, weapons and electronics.
"Those nodules that we just have to go out and vacuum up off the (sea) floor are filled with these critical minerals that we need," Burgum said. "And of course, part of that is assuring that we've got diverse, secure, affordable supply of critical minerals."

If they really had weapons based on reverse-engineered UFOs, they would most certainly keep those weapons under wraps right up to the point where they needed that kind of advantage in a life or death struggle with a peer adversary.

[Regnum] The United States of America has orbital weapons for space surveillance, US Air Force Secretary Troy Meinck announced.
"The United States currently has space control capabilities in orbit that can protect the Joint Force from hostile adversaries," Meinck said at the Air Force and Space Force Association conference.
The moderator asked for more details about orbital weapons, but Meinck declined to elaborate. He noted that the United States intends to maintain superiority not only in the air but also in space.
According to the minister, other countries are developing capabilities that could deprive the United States of some of its space capabilities or put them at risk. Therefore, Washington is taking measures to preserve its space potential.
Earlier, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova stated that the US and its allies' space policies are becoming increasingly aggressive. The diplomat added that Washington is preparing steps to deploy weapons systems in space and build up its military capabilities there. All of this, Zakharova noted, is being done under the guise of an imaginary Russian threat.
Air Force Secretary Troy Meink announced Monday at the the Air & Space Forces Association’s 2026 Air, Space & Cyber Conference that the service has on-orbit space control weapons capable of defending the joint force against “hostile adversary action.”
Meink announced in a keynote address Monday at the Air & Space Forces Association’s 2026 Air, Space & Cyber Conference that the service has on-orbit space control weapons that are capable of defending the joint force against “hostile adversary action.”
Meink offered no other details, saying only that the phrasing was “well thought out.” He said maintaining and being able to depend on U.S. space capabilities is necessary as adversaries develop their own capabilities to threaten them.
“It is critically important that we maintain our dominance not only in the air but in space, and so that we’ve had to take steps to make sure that when we’re threatened, we can take care of that,” he said during his speech.
