When will Africans finally outgrow this embarrassing and childish tourist syndrome? An African flies to a European country, sees a shiny building or a fancy train, whips out their phone, and immediately runs to social media to cry, "When will our country have this?!" SPOILER ALERT : those train rides are not free. They are directly subsidized by the missing wealth and uncollected taxes of the developing world. Truth is that, while the rest of Europe was tripping over themselves to aggressively extract African resources by sending gunboats, missionaries, and colonial administrators to do their dirty work, Luxembourg was playing 3D chess. They did not need to get their hands bloody or dirty. Instead, they quietly positioned themselves as the ultimate offshore tollbooth for the wealth being plundered from the Global South. Here is how their white-collar criminal network operates: A massive multinational conglomerate digs up copper in Zambia, pumps crude in Nigeria, or mines cobalt in the DRC Congo. By any standard of fairness, the immense wealth generated from those resources should be taxed locally to build the exact same roads, schools, and train networks we keep drooling over. But the global financial system is rigged. Instead of paying their fair share, that corporation sets up a shell company and often literally just a dusty P.O. Box in Luxembourg. And then through the dark arts of corporate accounting known as "profit shifting" and "transfer pricing," the company manipulates its books. The African subsidiary, the one doing the actual extraction, magically records zero profit. Meanwhile, the Luxembourg P.O. Box records billions. Africa gets the environmental degradation, the exploited labor, and a depleted national treasury. Luxembourg gets the capital. Now, Luxembourg taxes these phantom P.O. boxes just enough to make it look legitimate, pulling in about 5% of their GDP. But that’s just the cover charge. When you factor in the massive ecosystem built to service this racket,the armies of corporate lawyers, wealth managers, auditors, and bankers designing these tax-dodging schemes, it accounts for a staggering 30% of Luxembourg’s entire GDP. Put the math together, and you realize that nearly 40% of their national wealth is a monument to laundered money. It is the most flawlessly executed heist in modern history. They managed to siphon the wealth of a continent without firing a single bullet or toppling a single regime.

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

Our school system failed us miserably on this continent and the evidence is that we are still, in the year 2026, explaining colonialism, neocolonialism and neoliberalism to people who have access to the same internet we do. Still drawing the straight line between the assassination of our independence leaders, their replacement by colonial thugs and armed compradors trained to hate and dispossess their own people for tokens, the deliberate engineering of our apathy through religion and entertainment, and the current global order of extraction that runs on African exploitation. It is like explaining calculus to someone who is still negotiating with the concept of numbers. The intellectual labor is bottomless and the audience is inexhaustible. And the more I do it, the more I suspect that is precisely the design. Not a failure of the system but a feature of it. Keep the activists buried in debunking myths about African inferiority, keep us perpetually performing the basics for the unconvinced, so that we never get to the actual work of dismantling the machinery itself. We are not losing because we lack the argument. We are losing because we are too busy making it.

That man has gotten to serve as diplomat, a civil servant and European commissioner, retire, settle down with his long term partner and age to 93 Patrice Lumumba did not live past 35 for simply fighting for his country's freedom.
Nels Abbey@nelsabbey

BREAKING: Étienne Davignon, 93 year old coloniser and former EU supremo, has been charged with complicity in the murder of Patrice Lumumba. This is genuinely huge news. Great news. "Every day for the thief, one day for the owner" - African proverb.

I honestly think the world has gone crazy. Iran did not launch the first attack, Iran did not launch the first ballistic missile, Iran did not murder any world leader. Why are you lots desperate to have them lie and get rolled over simply for wanting to make their own choices?
Rishi Sunak@RishiSunak

Iran is attempting to put a dagger to the throat of the world economy. We in Britain must remember what the Romans taught us: if you want peace, prepare for war. My column in @thetimes 👇 thetimes.com/business/econo…
