@antonioguterres@LNYSCS Please you all should leave Africa alone. When we came to you that there is #GenocideinSouthernCameroons you said nothing. UN is mute on #Congo and #Sudan! Africans are taking back their resources from these vulture organizations and imperialist countries!
@EmmanuelMacron No. Our challenges are not the same. Africans want to be left alone while Europe wants to recolonize Africa.
The insecurity in Africa is engineered by Europe and the West and instability of countries fuelled by the same. So, when you talk of Sovereignty, it is laughable.
@antonioguterres With incompetent leaders imposed on most African countries by the West for their benefits, how could the country take the right decisions for the benefit of their citizens? Case study is Cameroon.
Africa holds 60% of the world's best solar potential & receives only 2% of global clean energy investment.
With the right finance, the continent could generate 10 times more electricity than it needs by 2040 – entirely from renewables.
Africa must be at the centre of climate justice.
@antonioguterres China is polluting the water bodies in the whole continent with illegal mining companies. African leaders must wake up, protect the people and the environment.
For too long, Africa’s resources have been extracted, the value captured elsewhere, the environmental damage left behind.
No more exploitation. No more plundering.
The people of Africa must benefit - first & most - from the resources of Africa.
@mbeatowe This nonsense can only take place in French Cameroon. I don´t think they can try this in Southern Cameroons. Imagine being treated like this in our own country. Imposible!
China built a $20 billion oil refinery in Nigeria, and Europe is furious.
Nigeria, one of Africa's largest oil producers, had no refinery. For decades, it exported crude and imported gasoline at markup. China's Dangote Oil Refinery in Lagos changed that. Now Nigeria is exporting refined gasoline instead of just raw crude.
The refinery is operating at 94% of its 650,000-barrel-per-day capacity, meeting domestic demand with surplus shipped abroad. In March, Nigeria exported approximately 44,000 barrels of gasoline per day. A single shipment of 317,000 barrels reached Mozambique—the first delivery to East Africa.
Production is projected to reach 1.4 million barrels per day within three years, making it Africa's largest refinery.
For decades, Western oil majors kept Nigeria dependent while extracting crude, refining it abroad, and selling it back at a premium. China built the infrastructure Europe refused to. Now Nigeria controls its own energy supply chain, and European refiners are losing a captive market.
This is what economic sovereignty looks like. This shouldn’t surprise any of our subs, we covered this story back in November on DD Geopolitics.
@JDVance Pope Leo was in Cameroon. If his message was directed to any President, It must have been President Paul Biya of Cameroon. There is an ongoing war in Southern Cameroons since 2016 and the world is not aware of it. Every thing must not be Trump. #Cameroon#Bamenda.
@VaticanNews The leaders of the Southern Cameroons freedom movement or Separatists in the bush have always been ready and willing to dialogue with the Cameroon government for the war to come to an end. The Cameroon government on the other hand has always chosen war over dialogue.
Americans whose brains are broken by politics think every word from the Pope is about American politics.
He is speaking from Cameroon that has been dealing with civil war and armed violence for the last decade.
Upon returning to Yaoundé, Pope Leo XIV meets with several representatives of Cameroon��s Islamic communities, encouraging people of all faiths to work toward peace based on mutual respect.

Our correspondent in Bamenda, Joseph Tulloch, reports from Pope Leo XIV's Mass in this northwestern city in Cameroon, which has seen violent conflict for nearly 10 years and is hoping the Pope's visit will bring peace.
Pope Leo XIV at Mass in Bamenda, Cameroon:
“Obey God, not human beings. To obey Him, because He alone is God. This calls us to foster inculturation of the Gospel. It also calls us to be vigilant, even regarding our own religious practices, so as not to fall into the trap of mixing the Catholic faith with other beliefs and traditions of an esoteric or Gnostic nature, which in reality often serve political and economic ends. Only God sets us free; only his word opens paths to freedom; only His Spirit makes us new people capable of changing this country.”
