I have witnessed the kind of protests we saw in Kenya before: in Tahrir Square, in Libya, Bahrain and Syria. The style of protests, the nature of the protesters and the incompetent, brutal response of the authorities are all out of the Tahrir Square playbook /1 of a short 🧵

Congo was rich in many minerals, but at the time it was richer in ivory and rubber. He set up a system that was extremely harsh on the people — a system that, if they did not reach regular rubber collection quotas, he murdered and mutilated the indigenous people.

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

The nations set out murdering africans, and then taking their wealth to make Europe wealthier.

King Leopold II set out for the Congo and declared it his territory proclaiming it his property, the people and the land, quickly turning the land into a money-making enterprise.

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

King Leopold II’s government declared that rubber harvesting was a necessary tax that would be paid to the crown by those who lived on the land.
This literally meant that Leopold took the lands and wealth of a people and obliged them to work on their own land as slaves.

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

The rubber industry in Europe was booming and he had to meet the demands of the market. As punishment for not fulfilling the quota they cut-off of your limb or get murdered.

Guys, when did you last see a bee 🐝🐝?

I can't belabor this enough.
Bee populations are under massive threats from land use changes, pesticides, and diseases spread by commercial bees.
Regulating commercial beekeeping CAN protect our pollinators.
It is a food security issue.

LOL. On this KFC story. I tried to supply potatoes (like any Meru would 😂) to KFC when they started up in Kenya in 2011! 😂.

Halfway in, I was fed up of Kenya and the govt, but very, very informed on global food supply chains.
