"‘We, the brave British, now building concentration camps’: How liberation movements in Africa were labelled ‘terrorist’
Western colonizers for years depicted themselves as saviors protecting locals from ‘satanic and barbaric terrorists’ who were actually fighting for their freedom

For centuries, African countries fought for freedom from the shackles of colonialism, from being forced on slave boats across the Atlantic to the West Indies to cultivate sugarcane and tobacco for the European economy, from being forcefully conscripted to fight for colonial powers in world wars or being put in cages in human zoos, whether in the Jardin d’Acclimatation in France, The Tervuren Park in Belgium, or far away in the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in the United States.
To legitimize their stranglehold on African countries, the colonizers resorted to labelling African freedom fighters as terrorists under the concept of rule of law, which in practice was rule by oppressive colonial laws."
Above is part of an article in RT showing the lies and hypocrisies of the western media and colonial powers in their conquests and brutal suppression of the colonised people and lying that they were the saviours and protectors of these people, and the freedom fighters were the terrorists. The natives were thrown into concentration camps known as new villages in Malaya during the Emergency when the natives were fighting to drive away the colonialists.
In Africa, the victims of the savage whites suffered cruelties beyond imagination, treated like animals or subhumans, to be beasts of burden to the white men. The white invaders were glorified in their history books as the white gods to bring civilisation to the natives, branding the natives as savages when the white men were the real savages, just like branding the native Americans in both North and South America as savages and were duly terminated or genocided to near extinction.
The African slaves and colonised people survived only for two reasons. There were too many of them, and they were also useful as slaves to their white masters, to work for free for their white masters. Slave labour under the white savages were the norm, no human rights violation, no crimes against humanity, no democratic rights for the slaves or subhumans.
The truth will be revealed day by day in the modern digital media, in social media to debunk the lies of white men's history books. The real murderers and savages were the white men! They were the terrorists then and the terrorists still today, in Africa and many parts of the world.
