This was Thomas Sankara criticising France and its involvement in coups in Africa, and installing puppets.

He also schools French President Francois Mitterrand when he visited Burkina Faso in 1986 on human rights and how France condones apartheid.

He was killed the next year.

Women don't make Africa stronger, they make the world stronger.

We should entrust them with the leadership of Africa

Real leaders have a sense of history. They read it, study it, analyze it, apply it...all while considering what new approaches might work while being mindful of what has & hasn’t worked in the past.

They apply the expression: “If you want a new idea, first read an old book.”

Dear Africans : our ancestors were not "slaves" they were "enslaved"

our ancestors were "humans Being" not "possessions" for European man.

Toddlers should be allowed to be in bed for MINIMUM 8 hrs. The rush by elite middle class for 'performance' is seeing kids as young as 3 picked up by school buses at 3am, 4am. This is a serious abuse on the health of kids.

Because of the great differences in our ways of thinking, it is inevitable that we have different religions and faiths. Each has its own beauty. And it is much better that we live together on the basis of mutual respect and mutual admiration.

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

During slavery, the most forbidden weapon for slaves was knowledge. Slavemasters understood that their social control of the slaves could not be based solely on physical coercion. Knowledge was power.

@EstherKoimett You are one of the women who inspires me. Keep doing it. Hope we get to have a chat one day as it will be valuable time.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

What’s past is past, nothing can change that. But the future can be different if we choose to make it so. We have to cultivate a vision of a happier, more peaceful future and make the effort now to bring it about. This is no time for complacency, hope lies in the action we take.
