La misère de l’Afrique est le carburant du système capitaliste mondial. C’est triste.

@ali_naka Gerontocracy doesn’t help. Primogeniture. Young people are suffocated by adults. Yet, the truth comes from the mouths of children.

Le capitalisme est responsable de la flemme que tu ressens quand tu dois te lever tous les matins pour aller travailler.

How do we wake up and enlighten the lantern of the people at the very bottom? Such must be the fight of Pan-Africanism.

What do you have say?

The colonizer was a hungry white man who crossed oceans to steal and he called it "civilization".

[luxusperes @lebosshakim_]

As an African philosopher, you don’t have to spend your whole life commenting on Hegel, Kant, and others. Your people need you to think for them. Stop being foolish.

Without the protection and resources provided by imperialists, the enemies within would not exist.

[Africa ni home @Africa_Ni_Home]

What about the black colonists. black imperialists. protectors of colonial oppression. protectors of neo colonialism.
the enemy within is dangerous

La démocratie sert de masque aux esclavagistes.
Ils se disent innocents, démocrates, civilisés.
Pendant que leurs richesses viennent du sang, du vol et de la colonisation.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Democracy is never to be taken for granted. It should be protected, nurtured. Every day - and everywhere.

Our European Centre for Democratic Resilience brings together EU Member States.

So they can strengthen their democracies.
The resilience of their societies.
And so they counter foreign interference.

As of today, candidate countries can also join this work.

We can learn from one another. We can become stronger together.

Le problème avec capitalisme c'est que beaucoup de personnes défendent ce système sans même savoir qu'ils sont pris au piège par ce dernier incroyable.

J’ai grandi au Togo, et je peux vous confirmer que cet assassinat a complètement détruit le pays. Le Togo peine encore à décoller aujourd’hui. Gnassingbé n’avait même pas le brevet des collèges et était un sanguinaire.

Sylvanus Olympio was shot on January 13, 1963. He was two days away from pulling Togo out of the CFA franc, when the imperialists struck.

The story that gets told is simple. A group of Togolese soldiers, led by Sergeant Étienne Eyadéma, stormed the presidential residence in Lomé. Olympio fled, hid in a car outside the US embassy, and was found and shot at the gate. Eyadéma admitted it: "He could not stay there. There would have been demonstrations. He would not move. I shot him" .‌‌

That is the version that fits the official record. It is also incomplete.

Olympio was not killed over a military pay dispute, though that is the trigger the soldiers used. He was killed because he was about to sign Togo's withdrawal from the CFA franc zone and launch a national currency backed by the Deutsche Mark. He had already founded the Banque Centrale du Togo in 1962. The agreement was days from being signed .‌‌

France had reasons to want him gone. De Gaulle's Africa advisor, Jacques Foccart, said it plainly after Olympio's death: "Sylvanus Olympio was not one of our friends" . The French ambassador in Lomé knew the coup plotters personally. They were former French army soldiers. France opposed an independent investigation into the assassination .‌‌‌

After Olympio was killed, his brother-in-law Nicolas Grunitzky was installed as president. He immediately abandoned the national currency plan and signed cooperation agreements reaffirming Togo's use of the CFA franc. The currency Olympio died trying to leave is still in use today .‌‌

The scholarship is careful. Historians like Skinner and Glasman argue the coup was rooted in the discontent of ex-French soldiers Olympio refused to integrate into Togo's tiny army. The monetary story is "an underlying factor," not the single bullet . But the timing is hard to ignore. Olympio was killed while negotiating monetary independence. The negotiations ended with his death. Togo stayed in the franc zone.‌

His brother-in-law took power. The man who pulled the trigger, Eyadéma, ruled Togo for 38 years after overthrowing Grunitzky in 1967.

Olympio's chair at the founding of the OAU in May 1963 was left empty. It was meant to be a warning. It became a template .‌‌

Les BRICS ne sont pas la preuve que tout le monde veut être l’Occident.
Ils sont la preuve que plus personne ne veut que l’Occident soit le centre.
Ce n’est pas de l’imitation.
C’est un décentrement.

La souveraineté intellectuelle n’est pas une option, mais une obligation pour l’Afrique.

I don’t know why we as a nation/people like adopting Western solutions to Nigerian problems. Nothing wrong with copying the West because they are far ahead but you’d have to make adjustments — we are two entirely different people with entirely different goals and perspectives.

La France, un pays de 68 millions d’habitants, a quand même réussi à asphyxier l’économie de 14 pays en Afrique, et ce pendant des siècles.

[luxusperes @lebosshakim_]

@starmkommando Russia does not impose itself on Africa. The West has never known how to cooperate honestly with the continent. That’s the difference.
