For me, once an African leader is the nationalist we need, be he or she a dictator or not, he's worth the support. Is a "tyrant" who brings development a tyrant? Africans become embarrassingly illiterate when it comes to thinking for themselves.
"Suluhu Samia is a dictator. Tanzania needs a revolution." 🤡

For Halloween, this failed African has to not just wear her clown clothes, but think and speak like one. Asshole!
Slavery was an evil in which people from every continent and region participated. We should be honest about the whole history, not select the parts that are politically convenient today, especially given Britain's leading role in ending the transatlantic slave trade. If Caribbean countries are asking Britain for a formal apology for Britain’s role in the transatlantic slave trade, will they also be asking the same of the descendants of African kingdoms, rulers and merchants who captured, sold and profited from the trade? On demands for reparations, whether through cash or debt relief, we have been down this track before. Twenty-five years ago, Jubilee 2000, Drop the Debt and Make Poverty History argued that cancelling the debts of poorer countries would give them a fresh start. More than $100 billion of debt was eventually written off, but many of those countries have since built up even bigger debts. Labour are already spending too much on Britain's welfare state, now is not the time for Andy Burnham to be providing global welfare. There is no reason British taxpayers today should be held financially responsible for things that happened generations before any of us were born. And I have even less patience for political elites in commonwealth countries who don’t know how to make their own citizens prosperous now looking for another opportunity to blame Britain. As Prime Minister, Andy Burnham should be Britain’s greatest defender. Instead, he is writing articles saying we need to confront our history (as if we haven't done enough of that) and considering another formal historical apology. Tony Blair already expressed Britain’s deep sorrow and regret for our role in the slave trade nearly twenty years ago. There is no need to do so again. This is all another navel-gazing distraction. The Commonwealth should be looking forward, not endlessly backwards. That means economic partnerships to make us all richer and deeper military and security cooperation against common threats. If every Commonwealth summit becomes an exercise in presenting Britain with demands for cash then we need to start asking if it is worth the effort.

Call me whatever you want, but I believe a society's goal should be to secure the highest quality of life and happiness for its citizens, not to endlessly generate capital for the ownership class at everyone else's expense.

Mali: Residents Of Kidal Receive Free Medical Care Following Defeat Of Western-Backed T*rrorists On October 23, 2026, members of the Malian Armed Forces (FAMa) and Russia’s Africa Corps provided free medical services to residents in the northern Malian city of Kidal. This drive followed the liberation of the wider Kidal region by FAMa and the African Corps from Western-backed t*rrorists. For the rest of Africa, this drive and the campaign that preceded it signal Russia’s continued support for the security and sovereignty of their continent.

Burkina Faso Adds The Haitian Revolution To Its Secondary School Curriculum As part of its continuing efforts to decolonize its information space, Burkina Faso is introducing the Haitian Revolution into its secondary school curriculum. This move comes one year after Mali suspended the teaching of the French Revolution from its own secondary school curriculum, and signals the determination of both nations to raise a generation of truly conscious Africans. The rest of Africa would do well to follow this example. No African child should grow up believing that they are inferior to anyone. They should grow up knowing about their glorious history and the battles fought and won for them by those who came before. They should grow up knowing about the West’s invasion of their continent, the reign of t*rror that followed, the liberation struggles waged to end this reign. Every African child should grow up knowing about the enslaved Africans in the then French colony of Saint-Domingue who rebelled against their oppressors in 1791, and were never defeated until they founded the modern world’s first free black republic in 1804.

Eza mawa pe wana ekoki kozala version ya diaspora oyo tozelaka totonga Afrique ya makasi na yango te.
La Diaspora congolaise en Europe = 𝗙𝗔𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗘 𝗧𝗢𝗧𝗔𝗟𝗘. Elle remplit tous les clichés, plus que même les congolais vivent au pays. Par exemple elle est rempli de ces tantines congolaises qui ont 40/50 ans et qui partent encore en boîte avec des tatouages grotesques, aux attitudes dévergondées et des maquillages vulgaires. Au bled, ce sont des traînées sans dignité ; en Europe, les jeunes les idolâtrez comme des reines ! C'est ici que j'ai compris que cette diaspora n'était qu'une sous-caste pathétique qui donne mauvaise réputation à notre identité en étant composé que des bons à rien qui s'écoutent parler ! Look at this 👇🏽🤮

People who have sworn to hate Pan-Africanism with everything in them. I like that he made the work easy for me. 😂
It’s too late. Because China is already a world power. And as a world power, China is not the one insisting that other economies halt their development for it to maintain its world power status. China is not the one that sent a diplomat to mount a podium in India tell the country to its face that it must not be allowed to develop to compete with it. China is not the one insisting that other economies must halt their AI revolution for it to reign supreme. We all know which world power that is doing all of those and more. The question is, what exactly is your problem with China becoming a world power? And why are you more bothered about stopping China than your country of origin itself becoming a world power?

Where's the lie? You're definitely on colos, Larry.
African leaders complain about being summoned by a single country but they keep showing up. At the Russia-Africa summit, Putin literally handed out ice cream, criticized former colonizers, and called out "active attempts by Western countries" to keep the continent in debt

Back to Basics: "Democracy” In Service of Who? 'The Rhetorical Ethic of the Yurugu' is a concept popularised by anthropologist Professor Marimba Ani, which describes the innate ability of the European to wield words as subjective and movable weapons of war, instead of instruments of communication with a single fixed meaning. Under this system, the word "Democracy" like many other words, has been weaponised by European imperialism, and is now used as a narrative weapon for controlling thought, scholarship, and political outcomes in the parts of the world that are dominated by imperialists. While the word itself may have a dictionary meaning that most people think they are familiar with, its actual on-ground effect and the downstream consequences of its control by European imperialists are far more sinister than most people would ever imagine. As 2027 looms for Africa and with it, national electoral rituals in Nigeria, Kenya and Angola among others, Sannario dives into this topic with a timely analysis of what exactly "Democracy" is and why the western-dominated ideas surrounding it today are generally not helpful or relevant to Africa.

1. Dissolve the UN is it can't treat all countries equally. 2. If at all it stays operational, take the headquarters away from the US. 3. Fuck Waltz!

The Chinese Revolution was not clean. Nothing that emerges from a century of colonial humiliation, decades of civil war, and the specific conditions of mid-20th century China was going to be clean. The deaths were real. The coercion was real. The suppression of dissent, the destruction of the Cultural Revolution, the specific and irreplaceable things that were lost: these are real and they matter, and the Chinese people who lived through them are not plot devices in anyone’s geopolitical story. But here is the other truth, the one that sits alongside it: China is not a colony. China was not carved into spheres of influence for the convenience of foreign capital. China was not kept poor and dependent and "open" in the specific way that "open" means when powerful countries say it about weaker ones. China made its own catastrophic decisions, on its own terms, and rebuilt from them on its own terms. That sovereignty, costly, contested, imperfect, real, is what the revolution purchased. Whether the price was worth it is a question the Chinese people get to answer. Not the people who were planning to own the country. Not the people who are still angry that they don’t.

What are you saying like you joined Twitter this afternoon? Are you claiming that Pan-Africanism frowns against relations with the West? Are you even for real? What are you guys being fed, for real?
In your mind it’s impossible to not let emotions supersede diplomacy & interest. According to you all Africans should be tied to the hip of China & Russia & all other partners don’t matter. Is it because Russia is funding you or is this independent thinking?

You are asking me why I use western technology services, but you are not asking the west why they rely on critical minerals from Africa for chips powering these technologies. You are asking me why I use Western social media platforms, but when we build our own, the same West will not leave our market. They would arrive with state-backed financial muscles and put local products out of business. Nigeria had local streaming services, Netflix and Spotify came and stifled them. And before you say, “but what are you doing, and why are your leaders not stopping them?” Well, isn’t that what we are preaching? We want leaders who would stand their ground and say NO, not puppets. If the leaders are not ready, as it seems, we want citizens who can rise up and seize sovereignty over every pillars of our society. I will continue to use Western social media platforms to preach this gospel, if you don’t like it, go and hug a transformer.

PRESIDENT ISAIAS AFWERKI: “SOVEREIGNTY IS THE NAME OF THE GAME.” No nation can speak of partnership while violating another’s sovereignty. No one can preach cooperation while undermining independence. And no lasting peace can be built on disrespect for territorial integrity. President Isaias Afwerki’s message is fundamental: sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity are not bargaining chips. They are the foundations upon which every meaningful relationshipbilateral or multilateral must stand. Trade without respect is exploitation. Partnership without equality is domination. Diplomacy without sovereignty is an empty promise. Respect the nation. Respect its borders. Respect its right to choose its own path. Because before investment comes trust. Before integration comes respect. And before any genuine partnership, there must be sovereignty. 🇪🇷 Eritrea’s position is clear: peace and partnership, yes but never at the expense of sovereignty. #Eritrea #IsaiasAfwerki #Sovereignty #TerritorialIntegrity #MultipolarWorld
President ISAIAS AFWERKI: THE RED SEA’S FUTURE MUST BE SHAPED BY ITS COASTAL STATES “The Red Sea, the Horn of Africa, the Nile Basin and the Gulf” President Isaias Afwerki sees these not as isolated flashpoints, but as interconnected regions whose future demands dialogue, cooperation and shared responsibility. His message is bigger than maritime access: no blockades, no fragmentation, no imposed solutions. Build regional mechanisms where nations have a voice and peace comes before development. The Red Sea is not a prize to be claimed by force. It is a shared strategic reality that demands respect for sovereignty, regional consensus and cooperation. Not division, but dialogue. Not domination, but cooperation. Not another crisis, but a regional future built by the nations that call it home. #Eritrea #IsaiasAfwerki #RedSea #HornOfAfrica #RegionalCooperation

The rule of the pedophile elite would be overthrown because of it. Mao also consistently supported and aided Africa's struggle against colonial rule, which made Westerners hate him even more.
The Chinese who lived under Mao and operating a system started by him respect him and don't want a stain on his name, but it's the European, the American, and the brainwashed African thinking they know better, and are trying to shove "Chinese philosophy" down our throats. 😏

The West hates Mao because Mao was a proletarian revolutionary leader. Think about it—if they don't make Western people believe Mao is evil, how can they comfortably play with minors on Epstein Island?

They wouldn't sit down and understand Pan-Africanism for what it is; their stupid arguments are always about it being a China or Russian sponsored ideology for Africa. They don't want to understand; they want to win the shallow argument. Funny people.
