My grandfather was a brave man, he was only afraid of idiots. I asked him why, and he answered: "because there are too many of them, and by being a majority they could even elect a president."

Firstly, Ethiopia is under US sanctions while Vietnam is not. And speaking of former French colonies, Haiti was the first to get independence (1804) and is still one of the poorest countries in the world because of the debt they had to take on to gain independence (it took them until 1947 to fully repay it!). Whereas, New Caledonia is still a French colony and is neither rich nor poor.

"If colonialism were the answer to why Africa is poor..."

This line completely ignores the European powers' (and US) post-colonial control over Africa. Patrice Lumumba, the first democratically elected leader of the DRC, was tortured and killed by Belgium and the US for being a nationalist. His body was dissolved in acid so he wouldn't become a martyr. His legacy is largely unknown even within the continent. Several other such "lessons" were meted out. Google Thomas Sankara (Burkina Faso) and Sylvanus Olympio (Togo).

Once you set the example, you gain obedience. The VietCong, on the other hand, didn't surrender even though 3 million Vietnamese died during the war, and several thousand more continue to die to this day (!) from Agent Orange exposure.

As for former French colonies in Africa, France still controls their currency and holds their central bank reserves in France. As Rothschild purportedly said, "permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws."

Third, the borders in Africa were drawn in such a way that conflict was inevitable. At the Berlin Conference in 1884-85, the European powers simply carved up the continent by drawing straight line borders. African leaders were conspicuous only by their absence at this historic event which shaped the next century. This is why Cameroon, a French-speaking country, has a minority English-speaking territory, ensuring it remains destabilized. Likewise for West Asia/the Middle East, where the Sykes-Picot legacy lives on.

@magattew conflates formal colonial rule with colonial control. Vietnam managed to fully kick out both France and the US, reunified the North and the South, and kept its sovereignty. All African leaders who attempted the same have been systematically eliminated (see Muammar Gaddafi, Libya's divisive leader, for a recent example), ensuring Africa forever bears the open wounds of its colonial legacy.

But Ms. Wade is right on one thing: Vietnam owes its prosperity to overcoming colonial rule. Maybe Africa can become prosperous if Africans do the same.

Foreign Interference: Tanzania Blocks European Parliamentary Team From Visiting Country

In November 2022, China revamped its fabled Belt and Road Initiative – a win-win development initiative aimed at the Global South – in Tanzania. In December 2022, Tanzania signed a historic $2.2 billion railway deal with China to link the East African country’s port city, Dar es Salaam, to its neighbors, Rwanda, Burundi and Uganda, as well as the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

Many other deals would follow, each with the potential to transform Tanzania and the wider continent, economically and politically, for the better.

But there was one problem.

An African nation was suddenly fast-tracking its development, without the blessing of the West.

And so the West did what it did best. It funded an “opposition” movement in Tanzania, and deployed its media parrots to promote the members of this “opposition” as “defenders of human rights and democracy” fighting against a “repressive” government, and sensationalize this government’s necessary actions to thwart the attempted color revolution that would follow.

And even after this failed regime change plot, the West continues to do everything in its power to destroy Tanzania.

WHITE MAN: AFRICAN MIGRANTS DIDN'T WRECK SOUTH AFRICA

Content creator Adrian Scarlett is right! South Africa’s economic woes aren’t caused by African migrants but European colonialism that persists more than 30 years after the apartheid regime was dismantled.

Indeed, a 2017 audit showed 72 per cent of South Africa’s private farmland remained in European-settler hands, who comprise a minority. Meanwhile, the World Bank ranked South Africa the world’s most unequal country in 2022.

The country’s deportations have risen 46 per cent in recent years and mass ire remains focused on African migrants who have fled the lingering impacts of European colonialism in their countries.

Let us know what you think of Scarlett’s comments and follow us for more like this.

POPE LEO XIV
The pope has spoken.

He has apologized for the role played by the Catholic Church in the commission of the worst crime against humanity-the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade.

One may ask, what role did the church play?

Well, the worst was that in 1452, the then Pope issued the Papal Bull to the king of Portugal to come to our part of the world to civilize us.

This law affirmed the unscientific and racist notion that the African is inferior to the European and justified the use of our forebearers as beasts of burden.

Yes, we have heard the apology made after about 40 million Africans were killed for resisting the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and 12.6 million were used like donkeys to generate the surpluses used to build capitalism.

The most important thing today is not the apology of institutions that facilitated the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. They must join the struggle to reset the world through reparation.

There Was Nothing Democratic About The Colonial System – Chinua Achebe

In this interview with American journalist Bill Moyers (1934 – 2025), aired on September 29, 1988, renowned Nigerian author Chinua Achebe (1930 – 2013) aptly exposes a clear contradiction between the West’s criticisms of the state of democracy in Africa, and the notably undemocratic colonial system with which it ruled over the continent with an iron fist for over 400 years.

Achebe’s words remain relevant today, as the West continues to endlessly lecture Africans about “democracy” and “human rights”, while trampling on the human rights of its own citizens, and funding g*nocidal regimes across the globe.

Africa Is Not More Corrupt Than The West

Donald Trump’s presidency is a gift to Africa because, through him, Africans are learning in real time that corruption is not our inheritance.

Trump sued his own tax authority and awarded himself a $1.8 billion settlement simply because his business and personal tax returns leaked. This is the "leader" trusted with managing American taxpayers’ money.

This incident and more like this show that corruption is not an African problem. It is a global problem. The difference is that in the West, corruption is often better packaged, and hidden behind institutions, legal language, and respectable titles. The scale of it is so massive that Africa could spend a hundred years trying and still not come close.

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.

This is Sovereign Media’s first-ever documentary. We are a small, independent team with a brand-new YouTube channel and no corporate backing. We need your support now more than ever.

On the morning of December 8, 2025, Michael Owusu received a life-changing call. He says the caller lured him to give out his location under the pretext of delivering a birthday gift.

But to his shock, instead of a present, he was shown a gun. Confused, he asked: “who sends a gun as a birthday gift?” Moments later, the gun-toting man identified himself as a police officer and told Michael that he had been ordered to arrest him, allegedly by the Director-General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service.

Michael was later to learn that he had been arrested because of a video he posted on TikTok on December 6, 2025 – his birthday. In the video, he displayed what appeared to be a sachet of ‘Special Ice’ Mineral Water with a razor blade in it. This is recorded on the charge sheet presented to an Accra Circuit Court. Concerned about how such an object could pass through production and to the market undetected, he decided to make a video for social media after a call to the company proved unsuccessful.
