This is my Topster for my favorite African albums, which I've been meaning to create since I haven't seen many topsters for African music. The albums on it are mostly from West Africa and their genres are mainly psychedelic rock, Afro-funk, and Afro rock.
Just finished watching the Earth, Wind, and Fire documentary. You can eat all the healthy foods for decades but adverse childhood experiences will take you out everytime. Goodness.

The most important story you’ll read this week:
In 1967, a Nigerian-Palestinian became the first woman to be arrested by the Israeli Occupation Forces after planting explosives in a theatre frequented by Israeli soldiers.

the lord's chosen might be comical (we are within our rights to clown their cult-like theatrics), however these institutions (including Odumeje's church) that ignite within Nigerians excess mockery, are not as dangerous as the 'aesthetic' anti-vax ministry of, say, christ embassy
BATUK: BRITAIN'S COLONIAL GRIP IN KENYA
BATUK: The White Man’s Burden in Kenya is not just a documentary about a British military base where soldiers roll around in the dirt for six months before returning home to the UK. It is a documentary about abuse of power, occupation of indigenous land and the unfinished business of colonialism.
For decades, ordinary Kenyans living around BATUK have raised allegations of abuse, sexual violence, ecological destruction and impunity, while one of the world’s most powerful former colonial powers continues to operate freely on Kenyan soil, handing out small amounts of compensation whenever evidence of alleged crimes reaches the media.
At the centre of the documentary is the story of Agnes Wanjiru, a 21-year-old Kenyan woman who was tortured, killed and dumped in a septic tank, while British soldiers mocked and ridiculed her death on social media. One soldier posed in front of the septic tank and posted, “If you know, you know.” Others joked about the five-month-old daughter she left behind, posting imagery of a baby beside a gravesite.
But the story goes beyond Agnes and her tragic killing and the shocking behaviour of British troops thereafter. The documentary asks deeper questions:
How did Britain maintain a military presence in Kenya, the very same year the country supposedly gained independence?
Why are foreign troops still training on stolen land while local communities continue to suffer?
And above all, why does the Kenyan government allow all of this?
Laikipia County, currently in the spotlight because of plans for an Ebola quarantine facility for US citizens, is the very same county where the BATUK military base is headquartered. This documentary helps connect the dots about why Kenya’s political elite remain so willing to cede sovereignty to foreign powers like Britain, and why they may be willing to do the same again with the United States.
