the weight,
the progression of turned pages,
the portability,
the immersion...
the addiction!

This is unbelievably good and practical advice. It is also well-rounded as it addresses the issue from multiple angles.

First, an autistic 14-year-old “allowed herself” to be raped? Second, you described rape as “sexual misconduct.” Third, you punished the victim for being raped?
What exactly is wrong with you people?

When Ghana Fought Portugal in Geneva, the Victory Was Angola & Mozambique's

1/ In 1962, Ghana went to war with Portugal on behalf of Angola and Mozambique. Not with soldiers, but with lawyers.

2/Under Portuguese colonial rule, African labourers in Angola and Mozambique were flogged with the palmatória, a holed wooden paddle, and forced into unpaid labour under the notorious indigenato system. The abuses were systematic.

3/ Kwame Nkrumah refused to look away. His Bureau of African Affairs, operating from Flagstaff House, took up the cause, making Ghana the legal voice of Portuguese Africa.

4/ Ghana assembled a formidable team. Government attorneys Austin Amissah, director of public prosecutions, and Adelaide Nana Woode, together with diplomat Major Seth Kobla Anthony, prepared to challenge Portugal before the world.

5/ In February 1962, Ghana brought Portugal before the Internation Labour Organization’s Commission of Inquiry in Geneva, accusing it of violating the Abolition of Forced Labour Convention (No. 105). Few expected a colonial power to be put on trial like this.

6/ Portugal denied everything. Then it tried to keep victims from testifying by offering scholarships and assimilado status (full Portuguese citizenship) to potential witnesses. Buying the voice of victims was Portugal’s strategy to win the legal battle.

7/ Ghana saw through it. Amissah and Anthony outmanoeuvred Portugal by recruiting a more balanced and credible group of witnesses.

8/ They brought German and Irish Catholic priests, Angolan and Mozambican students living in exile, and renowned British Africanist & historian Basil Davidson, a white man who was listed as a "prohibited immigrant" in several white-ruled African countries. Davidson was the first reporter to travel with African guerrillas fighting the Portuguese in Angola and Guinea-Bissau, bringing their struggle to the world's attention. His firsthand knowledge of Portuguese Africa proved invaluable to Ghana's case.

9/ The evidence was overwhelming. Victims displayed torture scars. The palmatória itself was presented. Witnesses recounted what they had endured. Portugal's defence steadily collapsed.

10/ The Commission ruled that Portugal had violated the Abolition of Forced Labour Convention in its African territories. It stopped short of calling Portugal's ratification a deliberate act of bad faith, but Ghana had won the case.

11/ The men behind the victory went on to remarkable careers. Austin Amissah later rise to become an appellate judge, then Attorney General, and eventually President of Botswana's Court of Appeal.

And as for Major Seth Kobla Anthony, his place in imperial military history had already been secured two decades earlier. Since 1942, he has held the singular honour of being the first Black African commissioned as an officer in the British Army, despite the objections of racist critics. For leading British troops and teaching them jungle warfare in Burma during the Second World War, he was awarded an MBE.

12/ Unlike the sarcophagus of Tutankhamun, hidden and left to lie forgotten in a tomb in the Valley of the Kings, only to be discovered over 3,000 years later, may the memories of these Ghanaian gems be widely known and remain ever fresh.
