In West Africa, the Dangote Refinery in Nigeria now produces significant volumes of jet fuel, but even with these additional sources, available shipments are unlikely to fully make up the shortfall.

Europe has limited options to replace the jet fuel supplies lost due to the disruption in the Strait of Hormuz. With Asian markets drawing cargoes east and export limits tightening available supply, focus is turning to the Atlantic Basin – especially the US Gulf Coast and West Africa.

3.) We are seeing a terrifying trend where Al and tech are being weaponized by male-domi-nated online subcultures to enforce patriarchal control. If that sounds dramatic, let's look at the receipts. Deepfake technology gained notoriety through the creation of non-consensual sexual images of women. A recent investigation by the Tech Transparency Project found 102 "nudify" Al apps (which render people, often women, naked) hosted across Google Play and the Apple App Store. Those apps were downloaded more than 705 million times and generated $117 million in rev-enue. As the Tech Transparency Project wrote, "Because Google and Apple take a cut of that rev-enue, they are directly profiting from the activity of these apps" - meaning they are making money off the digital abuse and sexualization of women. And have we forgotten about Grok? During an 11-day period between December 2025 and January 2026 alone, Elon Musk's chatbot produced an estimated three million sexualized images, including deepfakes of real, well-known women.

Happy women’s history month 😅

I see the point about patriarchy shaping domination and I get why patriarchy feels more immediate. I just don’t know if imperialism can be explained mainly through gender hierarchy when it subjugates whole populations regardless of gender.
