@tonsmit @AwakenChirp No modern European should feel guilty about that and no African or Indigenous Peoples should be deterred from interrogating that side of things. Most can only argue from that starting point as it is the only source of written history and context that's available to them 2/2

@tonsmit @AwakenChirp The problem starts with modern day patterns of "guilt" for being associated with the "wrong team". African society did dramatically change for the worse due to Western influence because it had to be entirely broken down to be fully conquered....1/2

Why do Africans respect borders they didn’t create?

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began. The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start. Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have. If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

@dnahinga Centralized urbanisation seems to also be a challenge in many African countries. In a European statisticians eyes, the population and projections at the village level can sustain an urbanised region without considering flight to the capital city....I love your posts btw

Every statistic predicting that X% of Africans will live in cities by year Y hides another question: What percentage of Africans can access opportunity without leaving home? A man leaving a functioning homestead in Bungoma to live like rubbish in a sheet-metal structure in Kawangware is not automatically evidence of progress. Can modern prosperity be decentralized? Some estimate that 60 to 70% of Nairobi residents live in slums and informal settlements.

@SkosanaTok69289 @LvovoSA Of course not. But we should be holding the municipalities responsible for letting it become a thing in the first place. Otherwise tomorrow it'll be someone else from somewhere else breaking the law

@SteevTheTwit @LvovoSA So should we be happy he came here all the way from Malawi to disobey our laws?

Poverty is real. The anger is real. But blaming a Malawian street vendor for a system that was broken before he arrived — that's not class consciousness, that's misdirection. The people who built that system aren't on your street corner.

@SkosanaTok69289 @LvovoSA Yet somehow the authorities never stopped him from selling on the streets against the law till peeps started acting out

@LvovoSA We blame that Malawian street vendor they broke the law by selling on the street knowing very well it's against the law..

@KarluskaP This bloke is fully conscious and knows what he's doing. Never thought I'd say this, he might be the only world leader that's truly himself in public, as scary as that is....What a time

Dammmmmmmmmmmn

@Milindbarse @ghida_fakhry @SkyNews Where else on the baby's body would you have had them burn for full legitimacy?

@ghida_fakhry @SkyNews And how come it's only on his legs? I can't imagine what his parents must have done to create this fake news.

A toddler returned to his mother with burns on each leg after being held by Israeli forces - with a doctor describing them as marks of "torture" likely caused by deliberate cigarette burn trib.al/g1SOaOz

@MaziEzike_Nedu @FoxNews "Our favour" from a Nigerian in Nigeria is wild

@FoxNews Keane’s confidence is a huge signal. If the U.S. is 'well on its way' to hitting every objective, it means the leverage is finally shifting in our favor. The 82nd Airborne’s deployment and the recent strikes are clearly having the intended effect.

GEN. JACK KEANE: "We are well on our way to accomplishing every single objective that the president assigned to the United States military."

@GenghisJaviKhan @GabrielGLouw001 @dylanotes I appreciate the gentle correction brother, the little time I did take had showed me that as long as up to 10% of goods and services have a connection to the US then it's subject to the embargo this includes its finance system which brings complications. I stand to be corrected

@SteevTheTwit @GabrielGLouw001 @dylanotes My brother on the internet...Cuba's biggest trade partners are Spain, France, Germany and China. You have never actually taken time to Google it huh?

Maybe—and stick with me here, Marco—the fact that the United States has had a near-total embargo on Cuba since before the Beatles’ first album might have something to do with its struggling economy?

@GabrielGLouw001 @dylanotes Just not in dollars, or through banking systems like Swift or Mastercard, or with a country that gets raw materials from uncle sam, or with a country allied to uncle sam, or with a country that receives aid from uncle sam...practically everyone

@dylanotes They are free to trade with other countries. You ARE aware of the existence of other countries, are you not?

@sentaison @AlHendiify Blockade means nothing comes in and nothing goes out

@AlHendiify But they already had trade with many nations. Or do they need trade with wealthy capitalist nations to work?

Mind you Cuba is literally just some island nation that has never launched a military attack at us. The US has them under a blockade because wealthy americans don't like their economy. That's literally it.

@Joseph_Browning @TheRealJamieKay Oooor, feeling left out by a system he perceives to do right by the newbies more than the people who've been around for generations. Non confrontational dialogue and political accountability could resolve like 99.9% of the UKs problems

@TheRealJamieKay So much wasted time: he's saying that Ethnic Citizens are more important than Civil Citizens. Which is just racism hoping to create a legal framework for discrimination.

Here’s Nana Akua realising she chose the wrong team.

@IanECox Look at the syllabi of many African countries, not the infrastructure. They're almost all based on a white paper that got lobbied for to compliment donor funding. Sometimes by the local leaders themselves to suit whatever ends. Can't teach 4 legs good if 2 legs are deemed better

@SteevTheTwit No, it's not by design. Most governments don't invest in education. Most don't provide proper schools. Simple as that.. no conspiracy.

The average person in Africa knows very little of their national and African history. This forms just one simple negative of the broad failure of many educational systems.
