Africa's history has not been figured enough on political and social media sites, but it is certainly chequered. I hope my little knowledge of African history is not misleading, having just taken an interest in what is happening over there.
The British had by the 17th to the 18th century gained control of the whole of North America, Australia, India. They were also having the intention of taking Africa all for themselves. However, other European powers, Holland, Spain, Portugal, Germany were also trying to follow the British in establishing colonies in Africa and they fought. Not just among themselves, but against the Blacks too. Incidentally, these colonial powers were also eyeing China, which during the opium war period, was arbitrarily divided among the seven colonial powers into concessions, with Japan joining in the fray.
The Africans, over the centuries after that, had been fighting for independence from their colonial yoke, and unsurprisingly they had help with weapons and aid from Russia, China, North Korea and Cuba. These four latter countries were anti-imperialist and were helping the Africans to fight the imperialist Ango Saxon Whites. Today, Africa has more or less had enough of the Anglo Saxon Whites evil agenda and are turning agains them.
Unsurprisingly, the Anglo Saxon whites are still making attempts to return to rule Africa, trying to poison the minds of the Africans, by spreading, as usual, threats and accusation of debt traps set up by China. As Yoweri Museveni, the Ugandan Leader said, the Russians and Chinese did not give them trouble or try to control them and are still getting on well with help from them. They provided help to the Blacks in times of need and why should Africa now turn against them and help the Whites? It was the Whites who had given them so much trouble and pain, kidnapping young Blacks to work as slaves in USA and stealing their resources.
The Anglo Saxon Whites can try to retake Africa, but the Blacks are much more aware of the dangers befalling them by again falling into their trap. I believe Africa is now beyond the control of the White Imperialist forces.

Africa today is not short of wise and well educated leaders. Some of their speeches are so well crafted, their thinking so intellectual, but barely reported in the media.
ReplyDeleteSure, Africa still has many dictators ruling the length and breadth of many countries on the continent, but most are more enlightened individuals that are less corrupt. The West supported most of these dictators in the past, because they were using them to control the ground. They therefore closed one eye to the atrocities that those dictators committed. Of course the West will deny, and claim they do not support dictators. But just look at their support for Saudi Arabia and you can see the double standard being followed.
It is a good sign that African leaders have taken a role to speak at the UN and other important venues. These are important indicators of where they are taking their country and who they are trusting. Africa is no more the 'Dark Continent' as they called it in the past. And African leaders are now determined to ensure progress for their country, like all other races of the world. And China is playing a pivotal role in that dream.
