President of Botswana 🇧🇼 Duma Boko stunned the audience after stopping midway through his speech to deliver a brutal but powerful lecture on relationships, loyalty, and trust.
Kenyan police allowed Arsenal fans to gather and disperse peacefully but they never allow the same youth to protest against the government without killing some
One of my absolute favorite films. The premise: the people of Africa put the IMF on trial in the courtyard of a Malian home.
An absolute powerhouse by Abderrahmane Sissako, director of the better-known Timbuktu.
Do not let the illusion of urgency in this world deceive you. Slowness is sacred, and honoring your own pace is medicine. There is no rush to arrive. Take your time and allow life to meet you wherever you are.
Please we are in 2026 and there is documented proof that what you are calling investment is actually an extraction. This isn't Africa succeeding. it's Africa providing the labor and resources for a French stimulus package. True partnership would mean local processing of resources and capital that stays in African banks.
Your €14 billion in investment is often just a circular loan. French companies bring their own materials, use their own experts, and then use their system to repatriate 100% of the profits back to Paris.
If a French company invests €1 billion but extracts €2 billion in profits over ten years and sends every cent to Paris, the net flow of capital is out of Africa, not into it. You can't call it mutual success if the capital doesn't stay in the continent to build local wealth. And that's what has been happening.
France "invests" the money, but it is paid right back to French firms to build the projects. It’s a closed loop that boosts French GDP more than African GDP.
The African political class will moralize about sexual orientation and identity, make punitive laws, breathe fire in public. They then ship off their LGBTQ offspring to countries where they can live freely and enjoy life (possibly with your taxes) while you beat your neighbour's children to death
I cut my tubes at 24. I know this topic makes people uncomfortable and honestly that’s exactly why I’m talking about it. This was my choice, and in this video I’m walking you through every part of it. The stuff nobody posts about. Go give it a watch🩷

we live on a planet where trees warn each other of danger through underground networks. where octopuses dream. where elephants return to the bones of their dead and stand over them in silence. where bees communicate through dance, showing each other where to fly. where flowers bloom...where crows remember human faces -especially those who were cruel to them - and pass that memory on to their young. where ants build entire cities. where cats purr at a frequency that can help heal bones. where forests, after fires, grow flowers first.

THE REVOLUTIONARY HISTORY OF DREADLOCKS
On this day, the British colonial state executed one of Kenya's greatest freedom fighters, but his revolutionary spirit lived on - even in his hair. Dedan Kimathi's dreadlocks were more than a hairstyle, they were a statement of defiance, a rejection of colonial domination and a symbol of African identity.
Today, dreadlocks are a common sight - in our homes, schools and places of work and worship.
It wasn't always this way, and it took persistence and patience to mainstream an authentic African hairstyle. Stigma around dreadlocks was informed by colonialism, and its effects were felt decades after independence. It took commitment to African identity to reclaim what was once demonised.
