"If you stick a knife in my back 9 inches and pull it out 6 inches, that's not progress. If you pull it all the way out, that's not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made. They haven't pulled the knife out; they won't even admit that it's there." —Malcolm X

Gérard Soete: I cut Lumumba into 34 pieces
“I cut up and dissolved Lumumba's body in acid. In the middle of the African night, we started by getting drunk to have courage. We got rid of the bodies. The hardest part was cutting them into pieces with a chainsaw before pouring acid into them. There was almost nothing left, only a few teeth. And the smell! I washed three times and always felt like a barbarian dirty ”
These words are those of Gérard Soete, pronounced on 15 May 2002, forty years after the disappearance of the Congolese leader #Patrice #Lumumba.

Breaking 🚨🇧🇫 - Another foiled coup attempt against Captain.
The enemies of Burkina Faso 🇧🇫 were planning to assassinate @CapitaineIb226 by tomorrow Sunday. The man who is speaking is the uncle of President Damiba, Mr Hamidou KABORE, per a very reliable source. The source says that they have 398 audio recordings of their plans that they started since this past Thursday.
Mr Hamidou KABORE is saying that they have located 4 houses where Captain usually sleeps, but the house where he spent most of his nights is the one in Bonheur ville, a neighborhood next to the one where I live in Ouagadougou. So, this traitor is saying that once the head of the snake is cut off, the rest will be over. 🙄
So, these criminals, enemies from within were planning to bomb Captain’s residence right in midtown, while the people are busy watching African Cup of Nations. Luckily, they have all been arrested. Please, this time @CapitaineIb226 no mercy! We cannot forgive those who want to destroy our country by destabilizing this transitional government. Folks, do you see it now? They hate the young Captain. Down with imperialism! Homeland or death, we will overcome!
Gold Coast 🇬🇭 1915
French colonial officers who came through Ivory Coast with their Ghanaian wives and children in Ghana in 1915.
During the colonial times in Africa, marriages between colonial officers and African women were not based on romance. Colonial powers created a new generation of Africans who had many benefits than full blooded Africans.
They had opportunities such as free education in Europe. Then they returned to Africa and got administrative positions. Also, they had sympathy for their European fathers. The main reason was to serve the colonial powers and ease their presence. #Africa
