As soon as countries like Luxembourg stop enriching themselves off the extraction and exploitation of African resources and labour.

All buses, trains, and trams are free in this country. For everyone! Luxembourg is unreal. When will your country have this?

okay, Luxembourg did imperialism and is a safe haven for stolen African wealth. Got it.
what about Viet Nam? Whose money have they stolen to be able to afford free public transport for a city of 14 million people? 🤣

@CKyobutungi @KamyaSamuel @Almighty_E37 "...the idea (democracy) is good, if you don't have a majority idiots..."
You seem to have overlooked that part. The simple answer where none of the countries in Africa seems to be a working democracy is coz they are populated by "majority idiots."
English
@KamyaSamuel @Almighty_E37 The right question is: in which African country now does your voice actually matter?
Nigeria? Kenya? Uganda? Ethiopia? Malawi? Burkina Faso? Cameroon? Which one?
English
Give me Burkina Faso and Traore anytime than this sham we call democracy. As Africans, we should start challenging this narrative that elections = democracy. The political class will kill and maim, steal votes and then expect us to believe we are better off than Burkina. Nah!!

@CKyobutungi The expensive assumption here is that Burkina isn't killing and maiming.
Democracy by its nature is predicated upon consensus by the majority. The idea is good if you don't have a majority idiots.
It's, therefore, better than the tyranny/dictatorship you're advocating for.

Ibrahim Traoré is right: “Democracy kills”
Decades of Western Democracy in Africa brought rigged elections, corrupt elites, endless aid dependency, and no real development.
Poverty, instability, and foreign interference grew while leaders chased votes instead of results.

This fact, alone, should be more than enough proof for any imbecile who doubts the moon landing. If there was any entity with both the motivation and the resources to show that the landing was fake, it was the Soviets. Yet they acknowledged it as real.

@disglobo @OVTweetmarck The Soviets tracked it the whole way and acknowledged the landing.

If someone spent 47 years chanting “Death to you,”
you probably wouldn’t support them.
Yet some Americans support Iran’s regime.

@PanSpear He has every right to say that. And I hope Burkinabes are okay with it. The only thing I am not getting is why Africans are all over frothing in the mouth claiming that the West is not happy. I'm yet to see the evidence of that. Or have Western govts started condemning him?
English
@MimosaWada25 @SizweLo I'm only seeing Africans rolling over each other on discussing the topic. I don't know why we keep dragging the West into our issues though. We can discuss the merits and demerits of Traore's actions without dragging the West into the debate unless it's their validation we crave.

Captain Ibrahim Traore says Africans have no use for democracy.
Westerners are fuming.
They like how democracy is doing in the 🇨🇬Congo, Equatorial Guinea, 🇨🇲Cameroon, 🇺🇬Museveniland, and of course the big shiny beacons of democracy, 🇿🇦South Africa and 🇳🇬Nigeria

@kalinda_mchl @jamesonen @AyikoGodi44835 If such was possible, who has stopped Africans from redrawing the colonial boundaries into forming nations that they themselves aspire? I recently saw that Eastern Congo under Joseph Kabila is seeking secession from DRC. Let's see how many African States will support him.
English
@jamesonen @AyikoGodi44835 Who said we can't, we were disrupted by the colonialists man! We can unite along ethnicity lines e.g bantu, nilotics, and Cushites etc

I initially shared this sentiment. Until I realised that Africa has 3,000 tribes that occupy their own areas. If each had decided to form a nation state there would be 3,000 countries in Africa. Just how viable would those countries be today from an economic standpoint?
And without colonialists using coercion to force us to join up into single countries, how likely is it that these tribes would have willingly been part of any political union?
Not sure there is an easy answer to this question.

Did you know that many of the borders we have in Africa today were drawn in Europe, without a single African present? Why should we protect something we didn’t create?
Kampala, Uganda 🇺🇬 English
@kolonelikris @aleksthgrt I highly doubt we'll ever get to that. I don't see any leader suicidal enough to go that route. Only the Ayatollah's regime seemed capable of such.
English
@IbexCap @aleksthgrt but you do understand that war on ukraine would draw Europe in,s. Korea would draw U.S in so yeah,at some point it would be a global nuclear war

If Iran captures a US pilot alive, the war could enter a new phase.

@IbexCap @sun_jun69301 @aleksthgrt if The U.S would use a Nuke on Iran,,theres a high chance that China will nuke Taiwan, Russia will nuke Ukraine, N. Korea would nuke S. Korea n Japan would have their nukes ready for retaliation... that's what i meant
English
@kolonelikris @aleksthgrt Oh okay. You mentioned nuclear war...only a small group of countries have nukes. And out of those only Russia, China and North Korea are not US allies.
English
@IbexCap @aleksthgrt nope...am assuming that the world would get into a world war,not necessarily from Russia
English
@sun_jun69301 @kolonelikris @aleksthgrt 😂 We can only wait and see.
All I know is that Russia/China watched helplessly as US moved into their ally's territory and abducted a sitting president. Seized Russian oil tankers without a care and invaded Iran as allies continued watching.
English
@IbexCap @kolonelikris @aleksthgrt If the US can drop nuclear bombs on Iran, then other nuclear powers can do the same with a clear conscience. It's not that the US and Israel are particularly compassionate - it's because they can't afford the consequences of a nuclear war.
English
@kolonelikris @aleksthgrt You are assuming that if US was to use a nuke on Iran the likes of Russia would get involved and fire their nukes too? 😂😂
English
@aleksthgrt what would the USrael do that they haven't done already? cause if they use Nukes on Iran,now automatically we go straight to world war Nuclear III and be rest assured that even if America wins,it won't go without massive huge damages....be rest assured of that
