@oneswanzala @DictatorWatch This is an idiotic statement..

How can a national vision be opposed to the local government unless one of these is rogue..?

So in essence he is supporting a roguish government but pretending to be for the local community..

They taught the colonized child to see the world through the colonizer’s eyes.

And then, when the colonized child grew up and looked through those eyes and saw themselves...

They saw what the colonizer saw.

"Backward." "Primitive." "In need of development." Behind on a timeline whose destination was someone else’s present.

This is the wound that outlasts the empire.

The guns go. The administrators go. The flags come down.

But the curriculum stays in the mind.

The habit of measuring yourself against a standard that was designed without you.

The reflex of looking at your own culture and asking, involuntarily, what the colonizer would think of it.

The deep, persistent, half-conscious belief that modernity is something you are still catching up to rather than something you were always building in your own way.

This is why independence was necessary but not sufficient.

You can remove the occupier without removing the occupation of the mind.

Decolonizing the curriculum was not a symbolic act.

It was the harder and more fundamental liberation.

The liberation of the internal landscape.

The recovery of the right to know what you knew before they told you it didn’t count.

They taught African children, in colonial schools, that their continent had no history before Europe arrived.

Let that sit for a moment.

They took children whose grandparents had lived in functioning kingdoms, whose oral traditions carried the history of empires spanning centuries, whose communities had legal systems and agricultural science and trade relationships and philosophical frameworks for understanding the world.

And they sat those children in European-designed classrooms and taught them that their past was darkness.

That their ancestors had been waiting. Waiting without direction or achievement or meaningful civilization. Waiting to be found.

That the story of their people began when Europeans arrived to begin it.

This is not ancient history.

The generation of Africans who received this education are alive. Their children are alive.

The psychological work required to recover from being taught that your people had no history.

To excavate your own past not from lived memory but from archives that were often kept by the people who had the strongest interest in what was and wasn’t in them.

That work is ongoing.

And the people who created the need for that work are still explaining that colonialism, on balance, was not so bad.

Egypt is the most revealing case of all.

Ancient Egypt, with its pyramids, its philosophy, its mathematical precision, its medicine, its legal systems, its art that still stops people in museum halls, is acknowledged as one of the great civilizations of human history.

And for most of Western academic history, it was also systematically, carefully, persistently de-Africanized.

Ancient Egyptians were depicted as lighter than the evidence suggests.

The obvious geographical and cultural connections to the rest of Africa were minimized.

The Nile Valley civilizations that predated the dynastic period were underdiscussed.

Cheikh Anta Diop spent his career arguing that ancient Egypt was an African civilization.

Not Mediterranean. Not racially ambiguous. Not a separate category inserted between "real" Africa and "real" civilization.

African.

The reaction from Western academia was not engagement.

It was dismissal. It was decades of institutional resistance. It was the particular fury of a field that had built its understanding of the ancient world on the careful, necessary, structurally load-bearing separation of Egypt from the continent it sits on.

Because if Egypt is African, then the sentence "Africa had no civilization before Europe arrived" doesn’t just need revision.

It becomes incoherent.

Not just false, but the precise inversion of the truth.

And not just about one dynasty or one period but about the foundational story of Western civilization itself, which drew substantially from Egyptian knowledge in mathematics, medicine, architecture, philosophy.

Which means Western civilization did not bring knowledge to Africa.

It learned from it.

The mummies are still there.

The DNA studies have complicated every clean narrative.

Diop’s work has been increasingly vindicated by genetic and archaeological evidence.

The resistance continues anyway.

But the instinct, the deep structural instinct to separate the civilization you want to celebrate from the continent you needed to be empty, that instinct shaped the field for generations.

You cannot claim the pyramids and also claim the continent that built them had no history.

You cannot do both with a straight face.

They tried anyway.

As someone who covered this day, the great thing about this Sifuna clip is he was doing it genuinely without knowing anyone was recording. The circumstances leading to this moment had everyone running away, but Sifuna chose to run into the danger!

[Seveth☝️🎯 @seveth___01]

"Uko na hio document? Nitumie..."
And just like that, gaidi ikatuma pesa ililua imekatalia, hapana chesa na Sifuna.
What a man.

Hapa tukifumble, sijui tutaingia wapi Mr Buffalo akirudi.
