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.

@iAmNotMexican17 @_Eddieee321 @Caesarinny You do know that black genes are dominantly expressed right?

@SONof_AYELOJA @moyoscooooo Man’s greatest battle isn’t with the devil — it’s with himself, but there won’t be profit in teaching this as it’s mostly self introspection and literally being able to put one’s self in another person’s shoes can truly liberate them. But yea, it’s always easier to blame someone.

@NomadHH @EmperorBTC In cases like this TP hits but trades won’t execute. So it’s the same issue apparently.

@doolsy21 @Somnath92332127 @TateTheTalisman Are you really a doctor? If you are, Damn! I hope you only treat the Brits.. so you don’t go off killing other races because of your CRAZY ASS reservation about their place of origin..

[tthatcher @tthatcherluv84]

@jon_d_doe Everything is a woman’s fault.. thought MEN are strong independent and decisive beings.. at least that’s how you always portray them.. but na.. it’s a WOMAN’s fault at the end.. please go and have an honest convo with your wife at home.. you might be shocked!

[tthatcher @tthatcherluv84]

@jon_d_doe I JUST HOPE YOU ARE NOT HANDPICKING YOUR DM’s just to stick to your misogynistic views on women.

[tthatcher @tthatcherluv84]

@jon_d_doe I have been following your post for months.. all I can say is your misogynistic level is to the roof… both MEN and WOMEN can act the exact same way you portray.. heck! In most worst case scenarios men cheat on loyal women after many years of marriage.
