If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.

I don’t think people realise what we’re witnessing right now. Perhaps those behind their phone screens who are not in Tehran may never understand, but the atmosphere here is crazy.

People are coming to Tehran from all over the world; from Russia, Brazil, Norway, Germany, … to attend the farewell ceremony for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the martyred leader of Iran.

Many from Tehran have made their homes available to visitors and many are on the streets with their own money giving people services such as free tea, food, … many are volunteering.

Million, and I truly say MILLIONS are coming in and out the Prayer hall to pay their respects to the martyred leader.

The surrounding areas OUTSIDE the prayer hall were PACKED and filled with people this morning during the prayers, thankfully with no incidents.

A family member of mine is among the volunteers inside the prayer hall helping who’s been sleeping there since friday and has not left the area.

Many people (that I personally know as well) who never attended a public march, decided to attend this one for the love of their leader.

The magnitude of this event is beyond any words honestly.

When China builds infrastructure in Africa, Western governments call it a "debt trap."

When the IMF lent money to African governments under structural adjustment conditions that required selling off public utilities, cutting healthcare spending, and opening markets to foreign competition that destroyed domestic industry?

That was called "development assistance."

The "debt trap" accusation is often exaggerated and selectively applied. Chinese lending, like all international financing, should be examined case by case, and the terms of individual projects should remain open to scrutiny. That is a fair conversation to have.

But that conversation cannot be had honestly without acknowledging that the West has been running debt-based leverage over developing nations for roughly eighty years, through institutions it controls, using conditions it designed, producing outcomes that consistently benefited Western capital while leaving the borrowing nations more structurally dependent than before they borrowed.

The sudden Western concern about African sovereignty when Chinese money enters the picture is not concern for African sovereignty.

African sovereignty has never been a Western priority.

The concern is about competition.

About someone else getting access to the resources and the relationships and the political leverage that Western institutions have treated as their exclusive inheritance since decolonization produced independent governments that still needed external capital.

Concern for Africa.

From the people who designed structural adjustment.

The audacity of it should be theatrical. Instead it is just policy.

The "international community" condemned this.

The "international community" is concerned.

The "international community" demands accountability.

Which countries constitute the international community?

In practice: the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia.

Sometimes Japan. Sometimes South Korea.

Seven billion people in China, India, Russia, the Arab world, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Africa are not the "international community."

They are the subject of the international community's concern.

They are the recipients of the international community's demands.

They are the locations where the international community deploys its accountability mechanisms.

This linguistic sleight of hand, converting a specific group of powerful Western states into "the international community" as if by consensus of the entire planet, is so normalized that serious journalists use it without irony in serious publications every day.

And the Indian reader, the Nigerian reader, the Vietnamese reader encounters this phrase and has two choices:

Accept the framing, in which case they have accepted their own exclusion from the category of "international."

Or reject it, in which case they are being unreasonable, parochial, nationalist, resistant to universal norms.

The language is a trap.

And it was built so carefully that most people walk into it before they notice it's there.

@AryJeayBackup Nigeria has a puppet for a president so I am not surprised... Hopefully my country stands up someday.... We don't deserve such leaders

@kipchobitkiboit @wmnjoya Words with zero meaning... Read what you typed again

[#LandIsNotProperty Mwalimu Wandia @wmnjoya]

I'm sorry Africans, we have to work. We just have to work. Work gives us confidence and pride in who we are. It sustains our spirit. As Khalil Gibran said, work unites us with the universe. That's why, despite the theft of our work for the last 500 years, our soul is still intact and wazungu haven't stopped scheming to destroy it.

If we don't work, we become destructive like the wazungu, and the Arabs aping them, distanced from the dignity and confidence of working FOR OURSELVES. The global problem for Africans is that for the last 5 centuries, we have not been allowed to work for ourselves. We work to build others' economies. What we need is not to stop working, but for our work to be for US the African people.

So in reality, this fellow is saying what he wants is to be a white man. He has learned well, because the white wealth started with violence against black people.

Wow. The hubris.

Let me tell you how the IMF works in Africa.

They give you a loan. Attach conditions.

The conditions make you poorer. You need another loan. Repeat forever.

IMF want Nigerians to suffer

That’s not aid. That’s architecture
