I’ve always been told of how humble His Excellency Fmr. President of the Republic of Tanzania Jakaya Kikwete is... I finally got to experience that for myself. What a man! Grateful for the opportunity to breathe the same air as you kind sir. ✊🏾🇹🇿🇸🇿 #AUSummit

When you were also a journalist, Credo Mutwa accused you of misrepresenting his 1976 testimony portraying him as calling for the army to suppress the Soweto uprising. His home was attacked, his wife was raped, his children beaten, and he was stabbed and nearly burned alive.He had to flee to KZN!

A Western company came and proposed to mine uranium. “Mine it and take it where?” They said: “Export it to generate nuclear energy for electricity and medicine. I asked them: “Have you heard a rumour that there are human beings here in Uganda who need electricity?  They vanished.

SANKARA THE ANTI-DEBT ICON

Following the widely-supported military overthrow of the French-aligned president of Niger, the West has cut 'aid' to the country to retaliate and arm-twist the new leadership into reinstating the deposed head of state.

Shameful as the tactic is, using aid to control and manipulate African leaders is not a new concept but one that the West has used for decades. Pan-Africanist and revolutionary figurehead Thomas Sankara, who on this day 40 years ago became Burkina Faso's president, had warned fellow African leaders to be wary of the West's carrot-and-stick method of using aid and debt to keep the continent in the shackles of neo-colonialism.

Sankara urged African leaders to unite against the World Bank and the IMF - and warned that if it was just his country, Burkina Faso, taking on these Western institutions, then he would not be alive for long. Sadly, as he predicted, Sankara was assassinated less than three months after he delivered this iconic speech on the 15th of October 1987.

The recent events in Niger show that the late Sankara's message is still as relevant as it was three decades ago.

NIGER CELEBRATES DOUBLE DOSE OF INDEPENDENCE!

This year, Niger’s Independence Day did double duty as a victory lap for supporters of the country’s new military leadership. Niger ceased being a French colony 63 years ago - and now it’s putting an end to the neo-colonial exploitation of its resources and territory: coup leaders have torn up military deals with Paris, banned uranium and gold exports to France, and blocked French propaganda. Neither sanctions nor threats of an armed intervention by West Africa’s French-leaning ECOWAS alliance managed to dampen the mood of jubilation in Niamey. Happy ‘second’ independence, Niger!

Burkina Faso President Ibrahim Traore: "We are going to fight but Africa needs to be able to unite. The more united we are, the more effective we are... the Malians come to us, it really is the same army. We train together, we fight together..."

Here’s Dedan Kimathi. He led the MauMau fighters against British colonial authorities in Kenya. He was captured by the British police in 1957 and was executed by hanging. Teach your kids about Dedan Kimathi.

On this day in 1972, Reporters exposed the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment — a secret study to examine the effects of untreated syphilis in Black men.

American medicine has been built upon the abuse of black people with no oversight.
