‘Uganda Scheme’: When Zionists wanted to establish a Jewish state in Africa
Quote
Before invading and occupying Palestine, did you know the European Zionists considered establishing a Jewish state in East Africa?

In 1903, the ‘’Uganda Scheme’' was being mulled to carve out a Jewish country out of modern-day Kenya.

Why the Wagner Group Started a Brewery in Africa | WSJ
Quote
Most Wagner businesses in Africa are centered on natural resources like gold, diamonds and timber. But in 2022 the Russian paramilitary group started a brewery in the Central African Republic and used it as a way to compete with the French in the larger struggle for influence on the continent between Russia and the West.

Displacing the French with the Russians is a lateral change AT BEST

Im not sure its an improvment or if they are dooming themselves.

They are definitely dooming themselves

Replacing Imperialism with Imperialism. If only the Africans knew how Ultranationalists and Pro Slavic Russians viewed them 😂. Wagner is filled with these types.

Not all imperialism is colonialist in nature.

What a ridiculous thing to say considering the Third Reich tried to kick the French and the British out of Africa and the Third Reich was not a colonial empire.

How Russia Profits From African Coups | System Error
Quote
From Mali to Sudan, Burkina Faso to Chad, coups have been spreading across Africa. In the midst of the chaos, Russia has seen an opportunity. The Kremlin is using disinformation and mercenaries to fuel instability in the region.

This allows Russia to spread its influence while gaining access to valuable natural resources. In this episode, we investigate how Russia profits from instability in Africa.

What is the Wagner Group really doing in Africa? | DW News
Quote
It's been one month since the Russian mercernary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin was reportedly killed in a plane crash in Russia. Days before his death Prigozhin had been in the Central African Republic where his Wagner Group is in charge of president Faustin-Archange Touadera's security. But since Prigozhin's death there is division in the country over Wagner's presence. DW's Zigoto Tchaya Tchameni reports from Bangui.

~ 6:11 : the idea that Russia, a european superpower that still controls most of its former colonial empire, and is currently waging a war of Re-colonization on its former colonial holding, is some sort of anti-colonial paragon would be hilarious if it weren't so pitifully harmful to the nations falling for it.
Quote
Russia had no colonies, because it developed all its territory to its economic level, it had more than half of the Russian population in the empire, and even the natives ruled the Russian minority in these places. Germany is more imperialistic in Eastern Europe, because in order to enter the EU they had to sell all the banks to them, so all the money from that part of Europe is in German hands. In addition, most of the companies were bought by the Germans at a low price.
Quote
Tell that to all the people who lived under the Russian boot for 70 years during the Soviet Union, and to the people who live under its boot right now. Russia never let the natives of its territories rule, Russia always put Russians as the new oligarchs of that region, that was literally Joseph Stalins entire strategy for ruling, and you best believe Putin is looking to do the same and has done the same in the places under the "federation". Developing your imperial territory to your economic level is something every colonizer does, and it is not an excuse for them colonizing you, why would you give them a pass over that and proceed to ignore the way they brutalize your people? You're giving Russia a free pass on well earned criticism, and then using that criticism towards someone else who doesn't have their hands in Africa, your argument is inconsistent, and you're criticizing someone somewhere else doing something entirely different, on a discussion of how Russia is inserting colonizer control in Africa under the moniker of "anti colonizer".
Quote
Russia is the last colonial empire. To say Russia is not, and was not, a colonial empire is disingenuous at best.

I’m absolutely astonished that you skipped over the ridiculous “independence agreement” that french shoved down their former colonies - first right of sale to natural resources is one of the biggest reasons the region is poor

Considering what France did to West Africa, it would be more surprising to think Africa doesn't hate France, or pretty much any European country
Belgium in particular has so much blood on its hand

Ethiopia's Prince Alemayehu: Buckingham Palace rejects calls to return royal's body

Exhuming Prince Alemayehu's body would disrupt the remains of others, Buckingham Palace says.
...
Buckingham Palace has declined a request to return the remains of an Ethiopian prince who came to be buried at Windsor Castle in the 19th Century.

Prince Alemayehu was taken to the UK aged just seven and arrived an orphan after his mother died on the journey.

Queen Victoria then took an interest in him and arranged for his education - and ultimately his burial when he died aged just 18.

But his family wants his remains to be sent back to Ethiopia.

"We want his remains back as a family and as Ethiopians because that is not the country he was born in," one of the royal descendants Fasil Minas told the BBC.

"It was not right" for him to be buried in the UK, he added.

But in a statement sent to the BBC, a Buckingham Palace spokesperson said removing his remains could affect others buried in the catacombs of St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle.

"It is very unlikely that it would be possible to exhume the remains without disturbing the resting place of a substantial number of others in the vicinity," the palace said.

"White" ethics in a nutshell. (The British were the ones who made the initial decision to bury the prince's corpse there! If exhuming the prince's remains would disturb others, that is entirely the fault of the British, which they must deal with! Why should Ethiopians be denied the return of the prince's remains because of a decision made by the British? Giving Palestine back to Palestinians would also disturb Israelis (whom the British gave Palestine to https://trueleft.createaforum.com/enemies/israel/msg352/#msg352 ) for sure! Does that mean Palestinians shouldn't get Palestine back? Oh wait.....)

Quote
In April 1868 they laid siege to Tewodros' mountain fortress at Maqdala in northern Ethiopia, and in a matter of hours overwhelmed the defences.

The emperor decided he would rather take his own life than be a prisoner of the British, an action that turned him into a heroic figure among his people.

After the battle, the British plundered thousands of cultural and religious artefacts. These included gold crowns, manuscripts, necklaces and dresses.

Historians say dozens of elephants and hundreds of mules were needed to cart away the treasures, which are today scattered across European museums and libraries, as well as in private collections.

The British also took away Prince Alemayehu and his mother, Empress Tiruwork Wube.
...
it was decided that the prince should have a formal education.

He was sent to the British public school Rugby but he was not happy there. He later moved to the Royal Military College in Sandhurst where he was subjected to bullying.


The prince had a "hankering" to return home, correspondence quoted by Heavens says, but that idea was swiftly quashed.
...
After a decade in exile the prince died in 1879 at the age of just 18.

NEVER FORGIVE. NEVER FORGET.

Woke comments:

The European way, is to arrogantly take the position that they have the rights to this teens remains, period!

And all the more in step with European history when intertwined with “other” peoples, is that they are best suited to be curators of what is unrelated and not their own. Though royalty from the Dark Continent is a royal plus for the taking AND keeping!

Quote
Another sad story of the smash and grab carried out by Europeans in the colonial years.

Quote
Plunder wasn’t enough…Just like the British to take a child and his mother and no doubt consider them, property. The h-e-l-l  and paranoia that child must have experienced!

Quote
British looted the whole world for centuries, including corpses. Of course it's very "disruptive" to give anything back.

Quote
of course they stole thousands of religious and cultural artifacts and jewels they won't be returning either. they won't admit it but it also seems like this young man is buried in a vault or mausoleum with several British royals buried on top of him over the years so retrieving his remains would be almost impossible without exhuming everyone else so they won't do it.

Contrast with the based comments such as:

See this written explanation from a documentary video about Western Civilization :

Important Historical Knowledge :

Quote
"Between the 15th Century, when Portugal became the first European nation to take significant part in African slave trading. And 1807 when the Transatlantic slave trade was abolished, European ships cutted millions of people away from Africa. In total European ships took over 11.000.000 people into slavery from the "West African Coast" alone.

This obvious trade made European grow rich on the profits while the populations of Africa was devastated

By the 1870s only 10 percent of the continent was under direct European control within Algeria, held by France. "The Cape Colony" and "The Natal" both in modern day South Africa held by the British. And Angola by Portugal. However, by 1900 Europeans were ruling more than 90 percent of the African continent. European nations had added almost 10 million square miles of Africa, one-fift of the landmass of the globe to their overseas colonial possessions. 

(Minute 00 : 18 until 01 : 55)

...

They developed a system of colluding with indigenous rulers. The supposed representatives of the people. So they got these people to help ferment wars and unrest so that slaves could be captured, and sold to them and then transported through the "Transatlantic" slave trade 

...

The avowed purpose of "The Berlin Conference" was to discuss the future of Africa. And the stamping out of slavery because most of European countries had become industrialized and so they no longer needed as much manual labor as they needed when they dependent on slave trade. So an Act was signed at the conference in Berlin, it's known as the Berlin Act of 1885 by 13 European powers, which had a result and the Act had a resolution to stop to help in the suppressing of slavery. So while on the surface they stamping out of a slavery sounds like a laudable venture. In reality, the major strategic and economic objective of the European countries was how to protect their old interest, trades and markets in Africa and how to exploit new ones. As I said this was in the light of the Industrial Revolution. We did not require as much as human labor as slave trade had provided. So the Berlin Conference therefore started the process of carving up Africa and putting up borders to suit European interest without taking into consideration to the cultural or ethnic components of Africa

Etymology
Afri was a Latin name used to refer to the inhabitants of then-known northern Africa to the west of the Nile river, and in its widest sense referred to all lands south of the Mediterranean (Ancient Libya).[24][25] This name seems to have originally referred to a native Libyan tribe, an ancestor of modern Berbers; see Terence for discussion. The name had usually been connected with the Phoenician word ʿafar meaning "dust",[26] but a 1981 hypothesis[27] has asserted that it stems from the Berber word ifri (plural ifran) meaning "cave", in reference to cave dwellers.[28] The same word[28] may be found in the name of the Banu Ifran from Algeria and Tripolitania, a Berber tribe originally from Yafran (also known as Ifrane) in northwestern Libya,[29] as well as the city of Ifrane in Morocco.

The real Africa:
Quote
Under Roman rule, Carthage became the capital of the province it then named Africa Proconsularis, following its defeat of the Carthaginians in the Third Punic War in 146 BC, which also included the coastal part of modern Libya.[30] The Latin suffix -ica can sometimes be used to denote a land (e.g., in Celtica from Celtae, as used by Julius Caesar). The later Muslim region of Ifriqiya, following its conquest of the Byzantine (Eastern Roman) Empire's Exarchatus Africae, also preserved a form of the name.

According to the Romans, Africa lies to the west of Egypt, while "Asia" was used to refer to Anatolia and lands to the east. A definite line was drawn between the two continents by the geographer Ptolemy (85–165 AD), indicating Alexandria along the Prime Meridian and making the isthmus of Suez and the Red Sea the boundary between Asia and Africa. As Europeans came to understand the real extent of the continent, the idea of "Africa" expanded with their knowledge.

One cannot "reawaken" from colonialism yet still use colonial terminology to describe oneself.
