Reading the mass Arab crash out in the comments of the tweet I'm quoting makes me feel a bit privileged to be African. I thought we were the people with the world's worst identity crisis, but it seems that title belongs to Gulf Arabs.
They are typing every alphabet of anti-black racism they can muster from their souls because an African leader rightly called out some of his people for going to study Wahhabi ideology in Saudi Arabia that has been linked to terror pipelines. Knowing fully well that
a) Said Wahhabi nonsense was literally created by the CIA after Nixon's petrodollar deal with Saudi Arabia, which created American-backed foreign destabilisation organisations like the Muslim Youth World League - thus Wahhabism does not even represent most Saudis, let alone Arab Muslims, and
b) Ibrahim Traoré himself is a Muslim, and he is not speaking badly of Islam, but of a specific type of weaponised, CIA-backed pseudo-Islam that has caused misery to millions of Muslims around the world.
These absolute dumbasses think that something Richard Nixon's CIA created is their religious identity!
I'm never going to complain about Africans again. At least my grouse with our people is that we have an identity crisis due to not remembering who we were 400 or 500 years ago - not the kind of identity crisis where we think that a pseudo religion created by American empire builders after the colour TV was invented is our whole identity.
What a bunch of complete donuts.
Now I completely understand why the Gulf is the way it is. A hundred and something million of the world's wealthiest olodos🤡
No Sharia Law In Burkina Faso- Traore
“I am a Muslim, but everyone in Burkina Faso has the right to practice their own religion. There will never be Sharia law in this country.
“To those Burkinabè studying Sharia law in Saudi Arabia, do not return to Burkina Faso. Instead of acquiring technological knowledge and skills that can help develop our country, you chose to study Sharia law. Stay where you are, you won't be allowed back here- President Traore
Nigerian security forces have rescued about 360 people who were abducted by Boko Haram fighters.
The statement says many of the abductees had been kidnapped from various communities across Borno State.
Al Jazeera’s Ahmed Idris reports from Nigeria's capital Abuja.
"The Fulani that are kidnapping people are not Nigerian Fulani. They are mostly Fulani from Chad, we Nigerian Fulani may eat someone else farm with our cow, but we don’t kidnap."
