The South Africa vs Mexico games will really be funny. The Mexicans will be confused when they see names like Afia Camilla, Abena Lola, Kwesi Emiliano, Kofi Miguel, Chiamaka Guadalupe, Amara Graciela, Okechuku Santiago and Obafemi Pablo. The greatest hate watch from Africa😭🇳🇬🇬🇭
Just letting you know that the owner of this platform, Elon Musk (a US military contractor), who incidentally has business and political interests in Africa (primarily in South Africa), has started to personally amplify this traitor.
Tells you everything you need to know about her, her backers, and her mission.
Félicitations à la FIFA pour avoir attribué la Coupe du Monde à un pays capable de retenir pendant 7 heures un joueur qui n’a jamais fait parler de lui autrement que par ses performances sur le terrain.
Quand le meilleur buteur de l’Irak, qualifié pour le plus grand événement sportif de la planète, peut être traité comme un suspect à son arrivée, difficile de ne pas s’interroger sur l’accueil qui sera réservé à certaines sélections (Iran) et à leurs supporters.
Pendant des années, chaque aspect de l’organisation au Qatar a été scruté, commenté et critiqué. J’espère que les États-Unis feront l’objet du même niveau d’exigence et de la même couverture médiatique.
Bravo, Monsieur Infantino.
USA wameamua kuingiza politics kwa football.
Telling the Iran team to touch down, play 90 mins, and bounce on the exact same day as their match because of visa beef is crazy work.
FIFA needs to stop giving hosting rights to such countries.
They’ve reduced citizens to beggars😒Do citizens really know the power they hold? Also this is a whole Governor telling you hakuna mambo ya SHA hapa 🚶🏿♀️🚶🏿♀️
Firstly, Ethiopia is under US sanctions while Vietnam is not. And speaking of former French colonies, Haiti was the first to get independence (1804) and is still one of the poorest countries in the world because of the debt they had to take on to gain independence (it took them until 1947 to fully repay it!). Whereas, New Caledonia is still a French colony and is neither rich nor poor.
"If colonialism were the answer to why Africa is poor..."
This line completely ignores the European powers' (and US) post-colonial control over Africa. Patrice Lumumba, the first democratically elected leader of the DRC, was tortured and killed by Belgium and the US for being a nationalist. His body was dissolved in acid so he wouldn't become a martyr. His legacy is largely unknown even within the continent. Several other such "lessons" were meted out. Google Thomas Sankara (Burkina Faso) and Sylvanus Olympio (Togo).
Once you set the example, you gain obedience. The VietCong, on the other hand, didn't surrender even though 3 million Vietnamese died during the war, and several thousand more continue to die to this day (!) from Agent Orange exposure.
As for former French colonies in Africa, France still controls their currency and holds their central bank reserves in France. As Rothschild purportedly said, "permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws."
Third, the borders in Africa were drawn in such a way that conflict was inevitable. At the Berlin Conference in 1884-85, the European powers simply carved up the continent by drawing straight line borders. African leaders were conspicuous only by their absence at this historic event which shaped the next century. This is why Cameroon, a French-speaking country, has a minority English-speaking territory, ensuring it remains destabilized. Likewise for West Asia/the Middle East, where the Sykes-Picot legacy lives on.
@magattew conflates formal colonial rule with colonial control. Vietnam managed to fully kick out both France and the US, reunified the North and the South, and kept its sovereignty. All African leaders who attempted the same have been systematically eliminated (see Muammar Gaddafi, Libya's divisive leader, for a recent example), ensuring Africa forever bears the open wounds of its colonial legacy.
But Ms. Wade is right on one thing: Vietnam owes its prosperity to overcoming colonial rule. Maybe Africa can become prosperous if Africans do the same.
Btw why don’t Kenyans speak up when matatus and other people are acting with impunity?
We’re mad at the politicians but where do you think they learned that their behavior is acceptable in our society?
Shule and society raised Kenyans to be good mannered conformist citizens, where that one person that disagrees with the others is looked at as an inconvenience.
Iran’s World Cup squad has been notified they must enter and leave US soil on the same day of their matches played in America, says Tehran’s ambassador to Mexico.
