Guinean Artist Elie Kamano to Release New Single Exploring Africa’s Colonial Past
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – 03/04/2025 – (SeaPRwire) – CAJ News Africa will host the official presentation of Guinean musician Elie Kamano’s new single “Africa without Africans” on April 5, 2025, at the Johannesburg Arts Centre, the agency announced today.
The English-language track will be distributed on major global streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, and Audiomack, targeting both African and international audiences. According to industry analysts, the release aligns with growing market interest in content addressing historical narratives from an African perspective.
The single explores the economic and social impacts of colonialism on the continent while highlighting the resilience of African communities. The track features a fusion of traditional Guinean rhythms with contemporary production techniques, establishing a commercial appeal while maintaining cultural authenticity.
“This song examines our shared history while looking toward economic justice and development,” Kamano said in a statement. “I wanted to create art that not only entertains but stimulates meaningful discussion about Africa’s place in the global economic system.”
The release coincides with the African Union’s 2025 theme, “Justice for Africans and People of African Descent Through Reparations,” which has generated significant policy discussions across the continent.
Kamano, whose previous releases have accumulated over 12 million streams globally, drew inspiration for the single from historical documentation in The New York Times regarding the 1944 Thiaroye massacre in Senegal, where West African soldiers were killed by colonial troops after World War II.
“Thiaroye can become the foundation of a pan-African consciousness, uniting all African countries that lost citizens in this tragedy,” said Mamadou Diop, Senegalese historian and Director of African Studies at Columbia University, regarding the historical events that influenced the composition.
On March 21, 2025, pan-African representatives and civil society organizations convened in Dakar to examine potential frameworks for addressing historical economic imbalances. The summit produced a detailed report outlining specific economic metrics and proposed accountability mechanisms.
CAJ News Africa’s decision to host the single’s presentation reflects the media company’s strategic expansion into cultural content with historical and economic significance, according to industry observers. The agency has recently increased investment in multimedia platforms by 35% compared to fiscal year 2024.
“We’re facilitating conversations that connect cultural expression with economic discourse,” said Savious Kwinika, Director of Research at CAJ Africa. “This presentation allows us to highlight how creative industries can contextualize complex historical narratives within contemporary market frameworks.”
Financial analysts note that the global market for content exploring historical African narratives has grown 28% annually since 2023, with particularly strong performance in streaming and digital distribution channels.
The presentation will include a panel discussion featuring economists and cultural analysts examining how artistic expression intersects with ongoing policy dialogues regarding economic development and international relations. The track will be available for purchase and streaming on all major platforms at 00:01 GMT on April 5, 2025.

Nostalgic Comeback Classic ICQ RockPaperScissors Game Reborn as NinjaRPS for Modern Mobile Players
Retro messaging game reimagined with fast-paced ninja action, now available on iOS and Android
Israel, 24th Jun 2025, Long before emojis ruled conversations and mobile games flooded the app stores, there was ICQ, the chat app that quietly introduced one of the internet’s earliest multiplayer games: Rock-Paper-Scissors. Now, that simple but addictive mini-game is back, reimagined for a new generation as NinjaRPS, a sleek, action-packed remake for mobile, designed to hit right in the nostalgia.
Launched by NexEra Labs, NinjaRPS is now available on Google Play and the App Store, blending the familiar strategy of Rock-Paper-Scissors with the thrill of ninja duels, stylized animations, and retro-inspired visuals.
“We wanted to bring back something that felt personal, something people used to play between chats, just for fun,” said the developer. “NinjaRPS is our tribute to those early internet days, but with a new layer of energy and style.”
From Chatroom Classic to Combat Arena
NinjaRPS takes the core mechanics of the original ICQ game and wraps them in a fast-paced ninja theme. Players face off in animated duels where each move, Rock, Paper, or Scissors, triggers a ninja attack, block, or dodge. The game is easy to learn, hard to master, and endlessly replayable.
The game’s retro pixel art and fast-loading design are nods to the lightweight charm of the original ICQ era. At the same time, new features like avatar selection, local play, and unlockable content offer depth for today’s mobile gamers.
Download Now
NinjaRPS is free to play, with optional in-app features for customization.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/il/app/ninjarps-rock-paper-scissors/id6468565440
Official Site: www.ninjarps.com
Built for Retro Fans & First-Time Players
Whether you remember playing RPS battles through ICQ in the early 2000s or you’re discovering it for the first time, NinjaRPS captures that same instant-fun energy. It’s a perfect pick-up-and-play game for casual moments, competitive challenges, or simply reliving a bit of digital history this time, with a ninja twist.
“Some games didn’t need a storyline, they just worked,” the developer added. “We brought that feeling back, but gave it flair.”

EPD Programme for Steel Industry Chain and EPD Networks Sign Strategic MOU to Advance Global Environmental Transparency

U.S.-based EPD Networks has announced that it has signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the EPD Programme for Steel Industry Chain on June 19th to strengthen international cooperation in environmental product declarations (EPDs) across the global steel industry (source). This agreement marks a major step forward in aligning life cycle assessment methodologies, verification procedures, and environmental impact reporting on a global scale.

Key representatives present at the signing included Jiāngwéi, Deputy Secretary General of the China Iron and Steel Association; Noh-hyun Lim, Co-founder and General Manager of EPD Networks; and leaders from Ouyeel Corporation and the Institute of Global Sustainability Certification.

To date, the programme has published 230 EPD reports and registered over 6,500 organizations—making it the world’s largest database for steel-related environmental performance. Its mission is to support carbon neutrality and low-carbon transformation by providing standardized life cycle data to all stakeholders.
