This is from one of the prisons in Libya, where African immigrants are being molested, sold, and used for human parts trafficking and the rest. The useless AU is silent.
Africans need to wake up and hold their corrupt leaders responsible instead of trying to leave their country.
NTV strikes again!
They've just served up a six-minute feature on Muhoozi Kainerugaba's "achievements" as CDF over the last two years of his reign.
Witty. Brutal. Nuanced. Smirky.
Watch it. Laugh. Cry. Do both at the same time. 😂
Aaaah. I see!
The problem here is you most likely haven’t picked up a history book.
If we are to restrict our discussion to “pre-colonial native formation” as you frame it and then juxtapose the post-colonial borders on the pre-colonial indegenous kingdoms, you’ll perhaps understand why your view is really absurd and not born out of sophisticated thinking.
Let’s use the Kingdom of Rwanda because it’s the apt example here.
Its borders weren’t strictly defined but there’s historical evidence to show that:
-To the east, it stretched all the way into Kivu rift Valley in present day DRC. Partly the reason DRC has a fight with Rwanda over the people it wrongly considers Rwandans.
-To the north, the HQ of the Queen mother of Rwanda Kingdom was in present day Gisoro. Think about that.
-On the Burundi side, that border was particularly fluid due to fights of territorial conquests between the Kingdoms of Burundi and Rwanda but indications are it ate into a significant part of Burundi. Similarity of language tells you this. Same with the aforementioned Gisoro
-Then in present day Tanzania, it occupied that Kagera region and still, similarity in language tells you this.
Colonialists drew imaginary lines and upended this order. Do you think that those borders then led to the disappearance of a people and the lives they’d lived in those lands for centuries?
All to say, Mr @wmosest, when you talk about the President’s appointment of @ReachDrMuganga as an attempt to upend the original native formation, you are merely exposing your ignorance and failure to grasp basic historical context in a country you think you have a right to more than other people whose forefathers also grazed and walked these lands for centuries before you were born.
The only reason you’re able to say that, is because your people (the Baganda, I suppose) had more of an agrarian lifestyle than the cattle keepers of regions to the west and south west. It doesn’t make your claim of belonging any stronger than theirs.
I hope this helps.
Happy to give you some more information if you’d like. You can also look into @PublicSquareEA’s previous discussions on this Banyarwanda question.
I this morning received my appointment as acting state representative of the United African Youth Movement (UAYM).
Meaning I will be representing UGANDA on the UAYM Executive council which is comprised of representatives from over 40 African countries and Pan Africanists abroad.
@SpireJim I fully understand what that means but please mind about your mental health we love you so much. It’s very fine not to offer help sometimes 🙏
APPEAL
Those who have my phone number, kindly do not give it out to every person looking for help with school fees. Much as I understand the desperation and wish I could help, I am only an individual human, I cannot handle the entire country’s needs for help. Over 10 to 15 people call me in a day asking for help with fees, sickness, jobs, food and so on … So, when I cannot help, please understand.
Today a lady called literally crying about her daughter left with two years of Medicine at KIU, but now totally stranded. I explained that I could not help, but she insisted pleading in tears: ‘May God touch your heart not to leave me like this sir …’. I could feel the pain in her voice, and I was pained too. But I wish I was more than me.
@SpireJim@PROTOCOL1818 This means that if the country has scientists only there will be less reasoning on the affairs of the nation and hence dictatorship can shrive.
