GHANA TEXTBOOK ERASES SLAVERY

Talk about whitewashing history! A Ghanaian school textbook is presenting colonialism as anything but a brutal occupation. Instead, the publication called “A History of Ghana for Basic Schools” paints a rosy picture, fails to mention slavery, and says the Portuguese and British were only after gold. Listen to author and journalist Afua Hirsch express her disgust, after getting her hands on the outrageous book that’s used by teachers in the West African country.

Zimbabwe has banned all lithium exports.

The government said it was losing $1.7 billion from exporting it as a raw mineral and not processing it into batteries in-country.

Instead of exporting raw materials, Zimbabwe hopes to develop its own industry
