Here is the complete architecture of how you keep a poor country poor while convincing its educated class that this is their own fault:

Step one: During colonialism, extract capital, destroy domestic industry, structure the economy around export of raw materials.

Step two: Grant formal independence while maintaining the economic structure, the debt obligations, the currency arrangements, and the trade relationships established under colonialism.

Step three: When the economy underperforms, as it must, being structurally designed for extraction, not development, offer loans conditional on policies that deepen the existing structure.

Step four: Train the country's economists in Western universities where the theories taught do not acknowledge steps one through three as economically relevant.

Step five: Staff international institutions and domestic finance ministries with these economists.

Step six: When the policies fail, attribute failure to cultural factors, corruption, and weak institutions.

Step seven: Publish a report with recommendations.

Step eight: Return to step three.

The machine runs on its own now.

The colonial administrator retired.

The indebted finance minister presenting his structural adjustment plan to the IMF board doesn't think of himself as administering colonialism.

He has a PhD from LSE.

He genuinely believes the model.

This is not a conspiracy.

It is an education system.

@sefreddy @AndreNikwigize1 la definition de genocide est "Crime contre l'humanité tendant à la destruction totale ou partielle d'un groupe national, ethnique, racial ou religieux". pas besoin de vouloir l'extermination totale pour qualifier des tueries de genocide, comme vous dites recherchons la verite

[Peace, love & unity @new_dusk]

@sefreddy @AndreNikwigize1 Un genocide peut etre commis par une minorite sur une majorite, comme cela a ete le cas pendant la conquete de l'Amerique. La riposte contre une tentative de genocide peut aussi engender un genocide. L'un n'empeche pas l'autre

@AndreNikwigize1 Si la repression etait plus grave que les visees genocidaires contre les Tutsi, ne serait ce pas logique de parler de genocide Hutu? 🤔
