@jayishah I completely understand you!

'WOULD YOU SAY THAT TO A JEW?'

Britain not being forced to reckon with colonialism and slavery has helped sanitise British imperialism and dilute the historical scale of its destruction of societies. This video clip shows the cognitive dissonance of former British member of Parliament and GB News host @Jacob_Rees_Mogg, who argued with @AytonImarn that British imperialism was a force for good. He ignored the exploitative nature of colonialism, whereby the British empire imposed its systems primarily for its benefit, dispossessing colonised populations of natural-resource wealth.

The claim that Britain ‘gave’ the Caribbean rule of law, democracy, and capitalism is a selective historical narrative that downplays colonialism’s impact on millions of victims. These communities had working systems before the British imposed theirs, with British hegemony influencing generations of Global South people to erase from their collective minds the archives of knowledge and tradition.

By suggesting Caribbean nations should be grateful for British colonialism, Rees-Mogg minimises the devastating impacts of forced labour, resource extraction and systemic racism, creating inequalities still present to this day in formerly colonised countries. In 2023, as part of 'international reconciliation,' 15 Caribbean countries announced they sought $33 trillion in slavery reparations, with Britain alone billed for $19.6 trillion.

Have a watch, and please share your thoughts.

@fireshikomba Isn’t this very particular to Namibia and South Africa because of our common history with apartheid? Hence the comrades standing up in solidarity.

@RomeMostert Gaps need to be closed in our education system inorder to close the income disparity in our society. We have different education “systems” 4 different population in our country.

[MJ Ndimbira @muhoza69]

@RomeMostert Yes, more $ is part of the solution 4 economically disadvantaged learners who need nutritional meals, extra curricular activities, computers that function and connected to the internet. We also need parents to be involved but that looks different in different social classes.

Since the founding fathers, efforts to make this integration possible have failed. In 2016, the African passport was launched. Some of the Heads of State have received a copy. when is this passport coming to life and allow Africans to travel freely on their continent?

@pigeon_chess This sentiment should apply for the entire mining sector.

Carine Kanimba (@ckanimba) survived Rwanda’s 1994 genocide, during which her father, Paul Rusesabagina, saved more than 1,200 people in his hotel.

In 2020, her father who is a Belgian citizen and U.S. Permanent Resident was forcibly rendered to Rwanda and imprisoned for speaking out against the tyranny of the man credited with ending the genocide: Paul Kagame.

Carine Kanimba campaigned tirelessly to free her father from a Rwandan prison. Her efforts were successful and after two and half years Paul Rusesabagina was released. Kanimba’s pursuit for her father’s freedom has been inspiring and courageous.

On individualism:

“One fundamental difference between American and Oriental culture is the individual’s position in society. In American culture an individual’s interest is primary. In Singapore, the interests of the society take precedence over that of the individual."

On freedom:
I am often accused of interfering in the private lives of citizens. If I did not, we wouldn’t be here today.

On the rule of law:
Start with putting three of your friends to jail, and people will believe you.

Mandela Kapere may have been a singular figure in our lifetime, but his timeless legacy embodies love, and is a reminder of it. Love for one another; love for country; love for love.

We cherish him, and wish you a happy Mandela Kapere Day!

@pigeon_chess The challenge is to focus on the structural changes that bring the greatest benefits to the most people. That puts a focus on infrastructure, streamlining regulation, effective small business support, and the quality of education.
