The transatlantic trafficking, kidnapping and enslavement of African peoples was the world’s longest Linguicide!

@FurryContrarian @Joe__Bassey "The British historians write as if Britain introduced Negro slavery solely for the satisfaction of abolishing it" — Eric Williams

@Joe__Bassey Thank God for the Royal Navy which stamped out the Atlantic & Arab slave trades at tremendous cost to the British people. Not a single African nation contributed to ending the slave trades. In fact, many protested. Their entire economies relied on selling slaves to passing ships.

This church was built on top of the slave dungeon in Ghana 🇬🇭 by Europeans. Sunjohn Nwose exposes it.

White men routinely raped enslaved Black women and forced them to have children, who they also enslaved. Trust me, you don’t need to teach Black Americans about human depravity

Hamas let every Israeli hostage go. Israel is about execute every Palestinian hostage. There’s 11,000 hostages in Israel, mostly children.

A Palestinian child was tortured by Israeli settlers and then dragged by a car across sandy slopes, as if they were telling the Muslim world: 'All you did was talk, while we are the strongest.'

@TMT_arabic This is what Israel did to the car 5-year-old Hind Rajab was in with her family… they riddled it with 355 bullets without mercy.

A Mossad cutout organization has put a bounty of million dollars on @s_m_marandi, violating not just rules and regulations on X, but also the EU regulations under which the organization is registered. And NO OFFICIALS HAVE DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

East Africans, not West Africans are the biggest victims of the Arab slave trade. They are speaking out too but west Africans have more social leverage than them, so our voice is louder. Secondly, the West is the world's predominant culture and power, so joining issues with them will get more attention globally. On the issue of ending slave trade: The British did pay reparations... to the slave owners. Not the slaves. They made their taxpayers offset the reparations till 2015. Yes, that recently. It was not good conscience, penitence or morality that made Britain fight against the slave trade. It was becoming increasingly unprofitable to sustain because of constant slave revolts, dropping prices of sugar, increasing costs of insuring slave ships, etc. The Haitians successfully revolted and ended slavery, setting what may be a very dangerous precedent for slave colonies and the enslaved. I beg you to listen to the other side in this debate and you'll find that our worldview has been intentionally misshapened by the one-sided distortion of the history of the transatlantic slave trade.

This summarizes the most self-destructive analysis on transatlantic slavery I have ever seen. It contains a straw man, gaslighting, victim blaming, and historical erasure dressed up as tough love. The straw man: you reduced a demand for accountability for industrialized, race‑based chattel slavery and colonialism to “blaming Europeans for inventing slavery.” No serious person argues that Europeans invented slavery or that they should be held responsible for slavery everywhere. The gaslighting: you frame centuries of violent extraction - the slave trade, colonial plunder, imposed borders, continent-wide structural adjustment - as a mere “excuse” for African failure, as if the continent’s development occurred in a vacuum untouched by the powers now refusing to vote yes on a UN resolution. The victim blaming: you point to African intermediaries as if that transfers full moral responsibility onto the enslaved and their descendants, while ignoring who held and supplied the guns, the ships, the banks, the plantations, and the political power that made the system global. And the historical erasure? You omitted that right after slavery, came colonialism, after colonialism, came debt traps and IMF austerity; a continuous chain of external extraction that your “self‑actualization” narrative conveniently pretends never happened. If self‑actualization is the goal, then the first step is acknowledging the actual historical barriers, not dismissing them as an excuse. "Britain paid around 20 million pounds to free all slaves. The (sic) only fully paid the loan this 2015." Who did they pay it to? Slave owners! They were compensated for losing their property. The slaves received nothing - only forced labour under another name. Britain made their commoners who probably didn't own slaves pay rich fucks who did and you called it 'freeing the slaves'? Britain soldiers died equalizing the transatlantic slave trade, making sure others were not selling and buying slaves and gaining advantage over them. They basically used abolition as a tool to entrench geopolitical dominance - it was not a display of penitence or morality.

They did. George W Bush bombed Fallujah with white phosphorus and depleted uranium in 2004. Fallujah now has the highest rate of birth defects in the world. Higher than Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the U.S. dropped atom bombs on them.

‼️🚨PETITION FROM PEOPLE OF AFRICAN DESCENT TO REQUEST THAT GHANA IMMEDIATELY CANCELS IT’S RECENTLY SIGNED SECURITY AGREEMENT WITH THE EUROPEAN UNION If you support, just reply, “I SUPPORT.” Ghana cannot simultaneously bring forward a United Nations resolution to recognize the transatlantic trade as a crime against humanity and sign a security agreement with those whose very actions have rejected said motion. You cannot abstain from voting on the UN resolution that is the clearest support of the Declaration of Human Rights that the UN professes to be based on. This abstention is tantamount to a rejection of the motion.

Ghana didn’t sell slaves, Ghana didn’t exist then. Some locals were involved but much of it was driven by violence. Chiefs were threatened, killed or removed to force participation. Don’t rewrite history to dilute the scale and responsibility of the West's industrialized slavery

What a funny question, "where is the leader?" That's how the British created paramount chiefs in Africa. They would invade an African community, have no time to waste on knowing who they are, and then arrogantly ask "take me to your leader." Most Africans would then be puzzled, maybe point to the most prominent person of the community. The British would then dutifully declare that that person is the paramount chief, tell him to put his fingerprint on some paper, and then write in some anthropology book that the Africans had accepted the tutelage of the British crown. Where's your leader? My God, what a joke. It doesn't occur to her that other countries have different political philosophies. Leadership isn't about visibility. But how would a British subject know that when their monarchs ride on horse-drawn carriages, get crowned while sitting on old stones and holding shiny rocks? What a joke.

"More than 10,800 Palestinian hostages are already inside Israeli occupation prisons, and now a law is being pushed that could turn their sentences into death." Palestinian institutions warn that the proposed execution law now advancing through the Knesset would directly endanger figures like Marwan al-Barghouti, one of the most prominent Palestinian leaders abducted since 2002, who has spent over two decades in prison and more than two years in solitary confinement. Since October 2023, he has been assaulted multiple times by Israeli occupation prison forces, suffering broken ribs and repeated injuries, while his family has faced intimidation and psychological pressure, all within what global institutions describe as a system of “slow execution” already in place. The urgency lies in what this law represents: not a new policy, but a formal shift toward open execution, expanding practices that have already led to the deaths of more than 100 Palestinian hostages in custody since 2023. Today, around 10,800 Palestinians are held across 23 prisons, including women, children, the sick, and thousands detained without charge, with growing concern that the law would place them at immediate risk of legalised killing. Palestinian voices say this moment is critical because once passed, it would give full legal cover to escalate what is already happening behind prison walls, turning long-term detention into a direct threat to life for hostages like Barghouti and thousands of others.

In the mid-19th century, many African American men fled to Mexico seeking asylum and freedom. When slave owners demanded their return, the country’s response was clear: “In Mexico, there are no slaves, only citizens.” The photo shows an Indigenous Mexican and an Afro-Mexican fighting on the same side.

Listen and weep

Africans had their own technology before it was interrupted. If allowed, there would have been several African innovations on everything we already had, but we now demonize everything we once had and embrace everything foreign.

@Jamo_ @Joe__Bassey But how will people see that it's a dead organisation without them seeing it happen in reality? Experience is the best teacher.

@aether_waves @Joe__Bassey Keep dreaming. The UN is a dead organisation. What meaningful thing happens there beyond voting and speeches?

This is a win for all of Africa and every person of Afro descent around the world. Next, Arab slavery which is systematically still ongoing today in the Arabian Peninsula and North Africa where migrants are now being enslaved and indigenous people of Mauritania 🇲🇷 and Western Sahara 🇪🇭 are enslaved in their own land by Arabs.
