But you "forgave" the French and British people who created the entire civil war? You "forgave" the Americans who fund Book Haram that has killed how many people?
Your family has even applied for their visas and lives in their countries but forgiving a black nigga like you from Kano is where you draw the line?
Pathetic.
China Backs Burkina Faso’s Agricultural Revolution, Offers Hands-On Training To Youth
In one of its many recent gestures of goodwill to Africa, China has offered hands-on agricultural training to the people of Burkina Faso. The program, held on July 28, ran under the Burkinabé state-organized International Camp for Cultural Exchange, Reforestation, and Community Action, which itself ran from July 24 to August 2.
This development is in keeping with Burkinabé President Captain Ibrahim Traoré’s vision to radically transform his country’s agricultural sector for the benefit of his people.
While the West continues to show only contempt for Burkina Faso and the wider African continent, China continues to stand with Africa on its path to sovereign development.
Days ago it was Kiddawaya telling you colonization was good. Today your OBO is calling for foreign interference in your democracy.
It’s the RICH vs your POOR ARSE. Their fathers ate your father's share, now they'll eat your share & their children will eat that or your children.
Once Upon a Time in the Middle East is China’s hottest movie right now.
Based on a true story: a Chinese chef opens a restaurant in Iraq during the early 2000s war. He goes there just to make a living and pay off his debts. When the war breaks out, this ordinary guy ends up protecting children and the wounded in the middle of the rubble.
But it’s more than a survival story.
This is Chinese cinema finally telling the world’s stories through Chinese eyes — not just using foreign settings as backdrop for Chinese concerns.
Why do the world’s stories only come from Hollywood? Why can’t we compare different versions — the American soldiers’ “hero” narrative, or an ordinary Chinese cook making food for kids in the ruins?
For people in developing countries, it quietly raises questions that usually get ignored:
Whose bombs destroyed their homes?
Who actually wants them to stand on their own?
Art is never just art. What we see shapes how we understand the world. More voices mean a better chance of real and objective understanding.
The movie is not about “casting other nation as the invader”.
Just a different lens from Hollywood — showing the real suffering of ordinary people in war.
Worth watching.
FORD MOTORS- Survived by Government contract
Note: The first car company in USA was owned by a Black person but because of U.S systematic Racism, he didn't get govt contracts but Henry Ford is hailed as genius n given all the govt contracts.
GOOGLE- Survived by govt contracts
MICROSOFT, APPLE, THE ENTIRE BANKING SYSTEM OF USA, STARLINK, SPACE X, OPENAI, ANTHROPIC, THE ENTIRE DEFENCE CONTRACTORS IN USA- they all survive by GOVERNMENT HAND OUT/BAIL OUT/CONTRACTS.
Govt banned Chinese EVs to protect U.S based companies. (While preaching Free market aka let the market decide)
That is not Capitalism, it is PURE UNDILUTED SOCIALISM!
🇺🇸America is not a Capitalist country.
What America practice is CORPORATE SOCIALISM!!!
Most Africans suffer from selective understanding, especially fanatics of borrowed religions.
They don’t mind deconstructing every other borrowed concept, but just don’t touch religion.
They also do not understand what it means to be an industry plant.
Whatever you eat, be it cow, donkey, rat or even lizard. Trust me, it's 10000x better than the synthetic lab grown microplastic meat we eat in 🇺🇸USA here.
Americans are so out of touch with what real food tastes like.
They hate Ibrahim Traore. They hate Assimi Goita. They hate General Tchiani. They hate the AES. But they love Bola Tinubu. They love Paul Biya. They hate every revolutionary and love the sellouts.
🚨 Burkina Faso 🇧🇫- Another area reclaimed
The locality was controlled by terrorists since January 7, 2023 and yesterday, August 9, they reconquered it.
On this day in 1961, the US started spraying Agent Orange in a campaign called “Operation Ranch Hand,” which would last 10 years. The intention was to kill as much plant life as possible to deny the Viet Kong access to food and cover. Hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese died and millions got cancer.
The use of Agent Orange left residue in the soil that to this day still results in an increase of bizarre birth defects and mutations.
Agent Orange was developed and deployed without testing to understand it's long term effects, to either the citizens or the environment.
Captain Ibrahim Traoré's smile conveys serenity and confidence that can destabilize those who wish to see Burkina Faso fold in the face of difficulties. He is loved by his people 💯
Some guys are already so handsome, have perfect aura that the only thing left is actually having the money 🥹🥹. I hope God makes it possible for you guys soon enough.

"Marxism-Leninism is not a dead doctrine, not a catechism, but a method, a guide, an instrument for concretely solving the problems of life... socialism remains the only realistic and humane way out of capitalist barbarism, as scientific Marxism taught us."
