Paracaidistas belgas que servían bajo la misión de las Naciones Unidas en Somalia, torturan a un niño somalí sobre un fuego, después de que el niño entrara en la base militar para pedirles algo de comida. (1993)
La misión de la ONU en Somalia se había lanzado precisamente para paliar la hambruna, en mitad de la guerra civil... y esto es lo que hacían los soldados de la ONU cuando les pedían comida.
And we wonder why we’re a society of cowards when wings were clipped during formative years.
Because what the hell is wrong with hair that grows out of your own damn scalp.
@WildgardenerHQ The communities that carry water on top of their heads, like ikisimama upright, their old women have excellent posture. It's still risky obv, but a much better method overall. Hiyo kwa picha utapata na Kikuyu women na with the rates of back problems idk why they haven't changed
The ruling class funds acceptable forms of resistance like identity politics, liberal reformism, and environmentalism, but only as long as they leave out class analysis. Movements that challenge capitalism itself are starved or suppressed.
How you people thought someone that was part of YK92, a secretary general of KANU an ex ICC indicatee , and a vengeful man could lead this country still baffles me. Worst some of you still think he will change if given a second chance. You are grooming a dictator.
True. Which is why mental health conversations cannot be divorced from those of poor leadership & corruption. When we dissect data e.g suicide rates etc we must at a point add political/economic context. When we say @WilliamsRuto is killing us we must include killing our minds.
@Insertcool12679@gunboneyard@abcdrih The extraction method and scale imposed on us by outsiders, that's the capitalism.
Still, we are debating in the same direction and I'm curious to hear your input. I'm not too married to my argument.
@Insertcool12679@gunboneyard@abcdrih The communists argue that what is practiced internally is too bastardized, too small, too crude to be anything other than a feudal system. Look how we are still dependant on simple tools and weather patterns for crop farming.
@gunboneyard@abcdrih Counterpoint; Africa is too underdeveloped to be capitalist. The economic system we've got going on is feudalism.
We are peasants with lords basically. Dark ages.
@abcdrih@SirPhillipTekle@Elhebreo5 Some1 in a book club I attended said the rampant christianity on this continent was a colonizer psyop meant to defang the masses and remove attention from true liberation of the mind and our resources.
Reading this thread pls I see some merit to that argument. We're so cooked😮💨
A sovereign country needs a licence from another sovereign country to sell their own Oil.
A sovereign country is not allowed to sell their own Oil in their own Currency.
But "Neocolonialism is not what's holding Africa back"🤡🤡🤡
