France's continued colonialization of Africa's resources, politics, and economics through Apartheid type exploitation tracing back to the Berlin Conference. The continued incursions upon the continent in violation of international law and threat of military force to compel submission.
1. 1
Africa’s Incarcerated Liberation
Incarcerated liberation is provisional freedom under imposed
conditions of autocratic approval. The context of current
African events, post transatlantic slave history, and historical
geopolitical atrocities of ideologies long ago presumed
abolished still yet flourishes. Attempts to hide its presence and
purpose only expose the ideology's modus operandi aligned
with its prime objective.
So, any glare of scrutiny reveals the deformity of imposed
arrangements that accomplish the same result but by far more
insidiously disguised methods. The circumference of a circle
is the radius of all it encompasses. An ideology's radius is not
full circle because, as various methods may have run their
course, the philosophy rotates around its axis tethered to its
origin.
Therefore, the ideology has only completed a cycle along its
radius. The contemporary cosmetic makeover of exploitation
and oppression are inheritances of racism. The liberation from
imperialism, colonialism, and captivity is once again
substituted with delusions of inclusion, blatant exploitation,
and indiscriminate subjugation.
The names and locations remain the same while the method
and degree of severity are metered to the level of tolerance,
vulnerability, or coercively incentivized leverage. The
political and economic arm-twisting extortion is an autonomy
and resource shakedown of rippling proportions and
stagnation.
Many may suspect this is a reference to their location and
circumstances. However true that may be, this is a reference to
where for many of us the larceny all began in Sub-Saharan
Africa. Yet, there is no need to regurgitate centuries of
2. 2
slavery's atrocities. History is often viewed as the past and
negligently absent of the radius of current events.
So, let's focus on global diplomacy, specifically between 1884
and 1960, dictating the current events. This modern enslave-
ment ideology incognito manifesto is either captivity by
economic dependency or suffocation by debilitating sanctions.
It is not a ghost or a vile resurrection but, despite denials, a
sinister sequel for all to see.
The historical colonialist ideology and ominous expression are
evident in the many intrusions currently occurring in Africa.
These violations are globally and intentionally omitted and
reduced by political propaganda, instigated instability, and
guided distractions.
Still, nonetheless, briefly suspending the subjectivity of our
reality to assess recent rumblings in Africa objectively reveals
the supremacy ideology's naked encroachment. It is a political,
economic, and sociological macrocosm of the historical
microcosmic racist replication in practice.
These are global incursions from decisions made not so long
ago significantly contributing to global and regional conflicts
and abuses of today. These incursions are not ancient history
or geriatric grievances but modern-day dilemmas and
devastation vindicated by antiquated reasonings. The
despicable resumes, characters, and motivations of these social
architects and their intent are generally unquestioned but not
always known.
The current supposedly diplomatic process reflects the lack of
diplomacy in its original purpose. This diplomacy of extortion
and extraction has endured time and alteration. The current
arrangement generates and sustains insatiable foreign interest,
stifling not only to African countries but the whole continent.
Obviously, fairness is not considered good diplomacy.
3. 3
Africa's stipend from the benefits and development of their
resources and wealth accumulation are geo-politically
regulated as a domino effect of chattel slavery in practice and
ideology adjusted for modern times. So, moving swiftly
through history, the foundational premise for current
consideration is the present geopolitical disorder in Africa.
The current cycle of historical revelations in Africa is
inherited from atrocities committed primarily in the 1900s and
well within the range of two generations. The precursor was
established in about 1883 and included Otto Von Bismarck of
Prussia and Germany, "the butcher of the Congo" King
Leopold II of Belgium, and The Berlin Conference.
They are the ignition for both world wars, the formation of
NATO and the UN, Apartheid, and the current model of
economic mugging of the Sub-Saharan African continent. It is
characterized by developmental strangulation, pilfering fiscal
policies, and embezzlement of political sovereignty. This
mugging causes and regulates the stagnation of African
progress, infrastructure, and self-determination.
This imperialist coalition and mentality of racist geopolitical
directives are internationally and openly tolerated. So, by the
strict definitions and mechanisms of superiority psychosis,
crimes against humanity, and economic asphyxiation, we can
properly establish the lingering geopolitical impact creating
the present economic and sociological conditions in Africa
and beyond.
Conditions of instability and intentional manipulation
orchestrating the question to fit the answer. Instability is the
smokescreen offering few options. But does the instability
cause the need, or is it created to justify it? Ask yourself,
whose objectives are realized? The imbalance reveals the
answer as an exploitive business and social blueprint.
4. 4
Blatantly displayed strutting across the global stage are these
flagrant violations. These fundamental global observations of
current world events mirror many of history's rogue
ideologies. The principles of liberation are only remotely
reflected in contemporary political and fiscal dealings with
countries in Africa. Examine the practice and principle for the
method and mandate.
A brief overview of the policies causing the destabilization of
the Sahel region can only be by predisposed social and fiscal
design. The coincidental subsidies siphoned reveal a shameful
narrative of malicious oppression and subversion. This
sabotage cultivates a fertile cycle of social hardship, resource
depletion, and wealth heist.
What is the accumulated wealth depletion? Under the
promises and cloak of democracy, international assistance,
regional development, and security support the price is no
longer worth it. Often, the ulterior motives of exploitation are
concealed by smiling faces, glad hands, and righteous
postures. The economic three-card monte game slithers as a
vicious predator amidst a vulnerable reliance of little resort.
Subsequently, history repeats itself as expectations has again
proven to be a fleeting friend and dependency a fatal flaw. The
geopolitical coalitions formulated then are still definitively
shaping the global landscape. So, let's explore the recent
history and present implications to analyze the objectives,
methods, and consequences critically.
The vast and tangled web of this foundational diagram is the
Berlin Conference or Congo Conference in 1884. It
established territorial boundaries, regulated the orderly post-
colonialization of Africa, and expulsion of fiscal and political
autonomy. This is, by all accounts, allegedly post-chattel
slavery.
5. 5
Otto Von Bismarck who was the seminal inspiration for Adolf
Hitler assembled the conference. Hitler aspired to return
Germany to the greatness it possessed under Bismarck and in
rebuke to the crippling Treaty of Versailles. Bismarck
believed in blood and iron diplomacy as coercive persuasion
for German unification and expansion by conquest, as later did
Hitler.
Hitler's racist inclinations and hatred were significantly honed
by the twisted Aryan sentiments of Sir William Jones, Joseph
Arthur de Gobineau, and Johann Gottlieb Fichte under
Bismarck's shadow. A direct ideological lineage can be
connected from them to Germany's role in both world wars.
The temperature of Bismarck was conquer by all means
similar to the Doctrine of Discovery and several Papal Bull
decrees of the Church.
The following century plus of global racism and predatory
arrangements were influenced accordingly, especially in the
southern hemisphere. European imperialism and Aryan
proclivities and immoralities of global parasitic psychosis
were disguised and deployed once again. History obscures the
significance of Bismarck's ravage on Africa by bolstering his
value to Germany and Europe fostered by a cooperative effort
to divvy up and occupy Africa.
The Berlin Conference (1884-1885) hosted by Bismarck at the
request of Portugal was mostly to referee trade routes and
territorial rights of European intruders pursuing imperialistic
conquest in Africa. Next, enter Leopold II, who was appointed
ruler of this region, ushering in a revitalized level of brutality
and exploitation, including genocide, mutilation, and
abduction to compel slave labor.
Leopold killed over ten million Africans as well as the
dismemberment of children. Remember, this is not over four
6. 6
hundred years ago but a little over one hundred years ago in
the early 1900's. Ironically, a change in geopolitical appetite
ended Leopold's reign of terror in Africa.
The next period in Europe witnessed a scavenging instability
the conference sought to rectify. During the 1910s, the feeding
frenzy of ambition and consolidation led to WWI (1914-
1918). The conclusion of WWI resulted in Germany being
liable and gutted by penalty and debt.
This debilitating condition created the perfect political storm
for the rise of the Third Reich, ultimately leading to WWII
(1939-1945) and the 1938 Time Magazine Man of the Year's
campaign of anarchy. Diplomatically, the combustive period
of the 1910s to 1960 experienced global unrest and unabated
conquest.
The incidents of sanctioned consolidation blossomed with the
Treaty of Versailles (1919), the Monroe Doctrine (1923),
United Nations (1945), Apartheid (1948), NATO (1949), and
many more alliances to consolidate global dominance and
control by asserting their dogmatic ideology. It is regulated by
power, greed, and imperialistic arrogance.
The lingering ideologies span the preceding beliefs and
prevailing interpretations, postulations, and fabrications of
Jones, de Gobineau, and Fichte’s entitlements of imperialistic
excuses and misconceptions. Consequently, a post-WWII
reality exposing the freedom and democracy protecting
hooligans reveals the continuation of the same ideology
supplanted by a revised explanation.
The global application is directed primarily at former colonies
of colonialism, territories of conquest, and long-suffering
lands of predatory exploitation, despite their so-called
liberation. Even after independence, the global colonizers
7. 7
continued to maintain authority and undue influence, similar
to Jim Crow.
The ideology is the enslaver, while the act is the blunt
instrument of submission such as force, debt, under-
development, geopolitics, and many others to subvert
liberation. Liberation is mainly granted to a degree of fading
adherence or Africa's inability to wiggle out from under
manufactured obstructions and challenges. Liberation has
proven elusive and transactional, although dated for reference.
Mali (1960 France), Niger (1960 France), South Africa
(1994 Nationalist Party, 1961 Britain), Libya (1951 Britain)
Chad (1961 France), Burkina Faso (1960 France), Ghana
(1957 Britain), Guinea (1958 France, 1973 Portugal), Senegal
(1960 France), Nigeria (1960 Britain), Namibia (1990 South
African Apartheid), and Botswana (1966 Britain).
Unfortunately, there are many more countries in Africa and
globally whose presumed liberation is reasonably recent or
ignored. Furthermore, this formula is applied unilaterally
against those not protected by the coalition of power and
privilege.
The trajectory of favor produces drastically different
narratives. Therefore, some countries' liberation and
sovereignty are embraced while others are summarily
dismissed according to the whims of power. But often and
coincidentally, by a spectrum of melanin and lineage.
Without the blessings of power, liberation is granted but
conditionally recognized. Therefore, the spin cycle of covert
oppression is overtly perpetuated, and violations are
disregarded not according to statute but to status. Still, many
of Africa's "liberations" between the fifties and the nineties
reveal many such arbitrary emancipations.
8. 8
That is only twenty-nine to seventy-two years ago. Although
relatively modern, it's been plenty of time for liberation to take
hold. So, a current analysis substantiates that the de facto
bondages, abuses, and exploitations are deliberately continued.
Many African countries are currently members of ECOWAS
under French patronage.
This voluntary arrangement is enforced by multi-national
troops and NATO as international police serving as the foreign
interest protecting muscle. The crux of the problem betrays a
voluntary arrangement because why is military force
threatened if a sovereign liberated nation wants to withdraw?
Is disrupting food, restricting airspace, isolation by embargo,
and electricity sanctions a diplomatic response? A
humanitarian response? A Geneva Convention response?
Likewise, where is the international outrage? Why does
French interest supersede Niger's best interest in Niger?
Apparently, the swindling of African resources is far more
welcomed in France than the African. Why does America and
others unflinchingly support France in this mugging of Africa?
But, heavens forbid a foreign government would interfere with
American or French sovereignty.
Yet, by comparison, European countries and others are
conversely supported with billions in aid and weapons. Their
sovereignty and liberty are almost unilaterally supported. So,
the global defenders of justice, democracy, and liberation must
deem these African countries' autonomy or arrangements
differently from Europeans.
The aid, unconditional support, enabling of abuses, selective
enforcement of rights, and wavering fairness overwhelmingly
indicate a distinct pattern. Many African nations' plights are
interchangeable while France's pattern and reputation is as a
devoted offender by plunder, oppression, and history.
9. 9
The specifics are unconscionable but obviously not
inconceivable. France is grandfathered into power as a
courtesy of their history and geopolitical maneuverings more
than their current military prowess. They are a permanent
member of the UN Security Council for this reason.
They are core obstructionist to sanctions unfavorable to their
aligned axis of abuses. As a result, France enjoys certain
immunities as a curtsey to a global political façade strung out
dependent on resources extracted from Africa. Africa literally
keeps the lights on in France and contributes significantly to
France's wealth and prestige.
Therefore, France's stature is mostly a bloated facade of
nostalgic political romanticism and self-aggrandizing
hypocrisy. As a pseudo-former slave trader craving Africa's
resources more than the chattel of old in an evolving world
where African natural resources are so vital to many, France is
unscrupulous.
So-called diplomacy and manipulated desperation are the
briefcases for being triple-crossed into coerced seductions and
reluctant solicitations as the preferred negotiating manner.
But, the lurking method is brute force if disruption threatens
foreign ulterior motives.
In particular, France, as a former colonizer, becomes the
ECOWAS country's current overseer, straw-bossing these
African estate's prosperity. The problem has become the
improbable solution, except the improbable solution has
always been the problem. The international hooligans and
their transgressions must be judged by today's standards, when
their incriminations are now being committed.
These are by fact, history, and current occurrences executed
under autocratic rules and an exploitive ideology dressed a
little better and more refined. A staunch unity of humanity,
10. 10
race, religion, decency, and consciousness must reject these
exploitations and abuses conducted in any name, nationalism,
anger, religion, or ignorance.
What is done to the least of us in the name of most of us takes
no courage, just an advantage of power and a depraved
mentality. But, dare we expand ourselves from our peepholes
and illuminate the undeniable shackles of oppression still
panoramically hobbling Africa and others? It is an insult to
everyone's humanity and integrity except for those whose self-
identifying sadistic palette requires atrocities.
In which case, Bon Appetit, because atrocities abound. By our
resolute and vehement condemnation, all must denounce any
appetite for subjugation done under any banner that claims any
level of fairness, justice, integrity, or humanity. Should not
inhumanity be inhumanity despite who commits it?
Many African Nation's recent declarations of sovereignty
are in reality liberation from an ideology whose captivity,
abuses, and destruction has spanned hundreds of years. So,
despite mainstream national and international media
disinterest in African geopolitics and exploitation, we must
summon the courage to look, listen, investigate, and analyze
the facts.
We must express outrage categorically condemning these
breaches of fundamental sovereignty and humanity. They are
destined to invite more direct and collateral damage than
actual benefit if not stopped. Consider it a far lesser courage
than the courage needed to struggle for economic survival,
defend political sovereignty, or declaration of humanity under
multi-national threat.
By what legitimate means does the divine right of life absent
oppression not extend to all? Genocide by sanctions, pseudo-
11. 11
diplomacy, or briefcase is no different than by brutality except
the method but not the consequence or culpability.
So, like many others, the African must continue to summon
the nobility of spirit and identity, which is the foundation of
courage. The courage to not self-sabotage, submit to adversity,
or enticing hallucinations of empty promises of progress. To
take courage in hand and chest to stand resolute in unity and
not to repeat the actions of tribalism and feuding that led to
our ancestral division and enslavement.
Africa must protect Africa as primarily a solidarity of common
purpose, not a separation by differences. Standing unified with
your neighbors, although you may have internal disputes to be
settled amongst yourself. Africans must not rise up against
Africans, period, especially for France.
The legendary Nigerian must stand with its legacy of pride
intact, remembering that last time, it didn't stop until it was
everyone. ECOWAS is what you do if you choose to, but
AFRICAN is WHO you are. Be extremely careful of the tool
of enslavement using you against you while the puppet master
pulls the strings. European commanders used Africans to
commit atrocities against other Africans for the misguided
benefit of the conquerors.
History only repeats itself where it was not learned the
previous time. Now ECOWAS is poised to sanction and
threaten an attack on other Africans for the insult of France?
After all, has France not committed an insult against Africa?
Whose insult is greater, liberation or exploitation?
America recently has experienced a series of labor disputes
and strikes to force negotiations for better labor conditions. Is
this not also a labor dispute to demand negotiations according
to profit and contributions? Why would war, military force, or
starvation be the counteroffer to a legitimate labor concern?
12. 12
If a laborer cannot withdraw their time, exertions, or resources
for inadequate compensation, are they liberated? Undoubtedly,
the democratic world can applaud and support such an
inalienable right and rebellion against tyranny inspired by
America's revolution from British oppression centuries ago.
Seemingly, the African/French arrangement is past its cycle,
and the rubber must finally hit the road. It is time African
liberation display the essence and substance of principle and
prosperity by the same terms, conditions, and respect as
everyone else. Our actions must negotiate our appraisal and
our compromise, not obstruct our autonomy.
Unity of purpose is awakened in Alkebulan to end it where it
began. France and the bandits that incite Africa's oppression
and instability must encounter Africa's unified self-reliance
and resistance. Presented as a boulder to broker the best
probabilities by collective bargaining of resources. The usual
cycle of redistribution by war disguised as a fathom threat,
political necessity, or humanitarian purpose of last resort must
be avoided.
War reallocates wealth, wealth encourages deprivation,
deprivation breeds poverty, poverty attracts subjugation, and
subjugation erects justification, which triggers mutual
resentment. This cycle causes a reset to protect fiscal,
political, and ideological advantages, leading to conflict and
resistance opposing change to maintain control and promote
stagnation.
These spin cycles of socio-economic agendas transcend
national accountability and bootstrapping it to the top. Their
imposition generates pretexts by historical controls of
coalitions and manipulations. The problem can't become the
answer, while the answer becomes the question, allowing
liability and obligation to switch polarities.
13. 13
The bait and switch follows a prescribed pattern of deceit.
When the hidden sponsor of chaos is the savior from that
chaos, it insulates the sponsor to prolong the chaos. The
deception is a savior's hologram easily manipulated.
Notwithstanding the previous "liberations," the ECOWAS is
the Economic Community of West African States with fifteen
members. It is an economic trade council fostering self-
sufficiency through member cooperation, which some
members also threaten war and destruction on other members
seeking autonomy from France.
The ECOWAS states official languages are French, English,
and Portuguese. It is ironic how language reveals past
conquests and lingering influences or, more precisely,
ideological exposures. African economic stability and
development rest on eliminating these influences fiscally and
ideologically.
The African must collectively regulate legacy resources such
as gold as other nations do oil, as a true coalition of interests
intertwined for African development and prosperity. Any great
reward at a future time requires current sacrifice. However,
curving time to future prosperity must be geared towards a
future time of anticipation and innovation.
Uranium, Lithium, Cobalt, and other resources are essential
for the projected future. But, they are also the currency and
social exchange for immediate self-sufficiency and
development. Unity aligned with strategic coalitions to
accelerate facilitating development can be leveraged simply by
AFRICA’S protection of their resources.
That is now what the marauders seek. The key is figuring out
how to keep from being slapped down in the reinvestment of
African capital concentrated comprehensively to produce the
14. 14
industry and infrastructure by tactical economic and political
calculation.
The invigoration of African progress is society motivation,
investment stimulation, and prosperity accumulation. The
difference is these African contributions cost less sacrifice
than the arrangement with France, which benefits very few
Africans. Besides, any African reinvestment venture swells the
African pot for African harvest.
France's current portfolio, resume, and policy regarding the
ECOWAS nations in the year 2023 demonstrate strains of
colonialist treachery. What does France provide for what it
receives? Seemingly, the gold, uranium, and other resources
alone are not enough. France also requires using French
currency, French central bank, a military presence, their
language, culture, educational indoctrination, and defacing of
self-identity.
To strip people of their identity is to assign one to them. To
economically suppress a people by deprivation, scarcity, or
regulation of necessities solidifies the population's
dependency. The nation's dependency is achieved by debt and
underdevelopment concealed as hope. Therefore, the
misconception of assistance is the trap of dependency
multiplied by fifteen countries and an entire region.
There has been some progress and benefit but the arrangement
now has been rejected. The routine plight of the ECOWAS
nations striving to grasp the prize always held just out of reach
along with the fruits of their wealth generation is over. Some
ECOWAS nations are among the poorest nations in the world.
This poverty is despite the richness of natural resources, which
repeatedly and disproportionately does not benefit them.
By the way, the United States has a military base in Niger and
an unconditional full diplomatic support for France. With
15. 15
France, the United States, and others present in Niger for years
now, why has terrorist not been neutralized? If terrorists are
causing the instability, would increasing the stability depend
on decreasing the terrorists? So, the continuing instability
justifies the foreign presence.
Likewise, by extenuation, are the terrorists serving a purpose?
Without them, another reason for occupation must be
contrived. Nevertheless, the web still spirals. The cloak of
global domination and power has proven to be too irresistible
and problematic a garment to shed. So it continues.
Consequently, the chaos of conquest continues unabated but
not undetectable.
Evidently, other major global players of dysfunctional
concealment, such as the IMF, World Bank, United Nations,
and NATO, provide cover proving justice must truly be blind.
Accomplices are the World Courts of Human Rights,
economic councils, international courts, and many others by
selective outrage, hollow authority, or cowardly apathy.
Apparently, by observation, their mission statements are
selectively applied, willfully ignored, or, worst, illicitly
complicit. Authority absolved cannot ignore, facilitate,
concede, or commit the very violations they were created to
adjudicate, oppose, penalize, or eliminate, even if they don't
enforce them.
They are not part of the solution but protectors of the problem,
which now includes them. These co-collaborators weld fiscal,
governmental, judicial, or humanitarian malfeasance to
administer buddy passes, winks, and nods of acquiesce. These
co-collaborators ignore violations or facilitate abuses as
guardians shielding the violators and their interests.
IMF's purpose is monetary stabilization of currencies, growth,
and prosperity. Still, it fosters debt and allows policies
16. 16
contrary to its purpose. The World Bank fights poverty
through development and capital investment but is plagued by
favoritism and curious transactions.
The UN has disappointed miserably in its purpose of
international peace and security by forsaking human rights and
humanitarian compassion while seemingly oblivious to
economic, ethnic, and sovereign violations. International law
and fairness are decimated by the collusion of powerful
security council nations and some others' partiality preventing
unilateral accountability, sanctions, or actions of remedy by a
singular vote of obstruction.
NATO, too many times, is the antithesis of crisis management
by participating in fostering instability, crisis, and
exploitation. Their force is the puppet master's shield and
sword protecting fraudulent interests based on illegitimate
geopolitical agendas. Many other international organizations
are paper tigers with hollow authority or little fortitude, but
must their voice or outrage also be hollow?
The answer is apparently very hollow and discretionary,
depending on who the offender or victim may be. This moral
corruption discredits and sabotages the integrity of the process
and intent by selective enforcement and colonial alliances of
imperialistic mentalities. France, Britain, and the United States
have stirred the pot of oppression for centuries.
Not to isolate them from other foreign marauders like
Portugal, Spain, Germany, and Belgium by misdeeds but only
by current power to orchestrate massive instability, predatory
obstructions, and authoritarian directives. ECOWAS nations
yield fifty percent of their gold to France's central bank for the
privilege of being exploited by the mandatory use of the
French Franc.
17. 17
Now imagine all these international organizations being
unaware of France's bevy of violations. What can be the only
logical answer? Even the clear-cut declarations of the Geneva
Convention violations are ignored without a whimper of
international outrage. I wonder if the loophole is only if war is
declared or not.
To further the discrepancy, a different response and reasoning
is applied for the same circumstances committed by a different
group. For example, Niger's coup was against its leader. Still,
France swole up offended by a liberated country they have no
legitimate proxy over. Yet, rebuke of France’s colonialist
residue is considered an assault on France.
War is inhumane, but exploitation and inhumanity is a
declaration of or an invitation to war, which eventually results
in conflict and resistance as the only options. However, a
staunch back with courage intact can be the only answer if it is
the only solution. The imperialistic exploitation of supremacy
ideologies of the early twentieth century cycles out as its grip
of global ignorance wanes.
So, consider the impact on France's fiscal stability, the
Olympic Games in France in 2024, the denouncing of
colonialist proclivities of greed and exploitation, or the default
futility of a piranha-like feeding frenzy of aggression
defending the indefensible. France must decide since they left
Africa no other choice but now France’s choices are limited to
African decisions.
This is an economic and moral dilemma for France and their
dependency on exploiting resources and a fifty percent gold
tariff on the ECOWAS. It is time to renegotiate the terms,
diplomatically of course. Ultimately, French etiquette must
prevail unconditionally, yielding to the principles of African
political sovereignty, fiscal resuscitation, and wealth retention.
18. 18
Otherwise, the emerging projection is a global conflict and
regional instability to maintain a century-old imperialistic
Bismarck ideology of a world structure and perspective that no
longer can exists or should exist. The time has certainly come
to weigh the consequences. Time is not in a bottle of old but
urgently upon us. Now, the answer to this has become the
question.
In whose name can France be defended? Not even Bismarck's
name. Please make no mistake about it, incarcerated liberation
continues the racist colonialist ideology rooted not only in
history but right before our eyes. It is crystal clear for those
who would only take a glancing look.
Are these the kind of policies or actions, regardless of the
ethnicity of the victim, we can condone to protect the
economic exploitation of a sizable portion of a continent and
humanity? This geopolitical slavery is not from long ago or
unknown, so all that remains is liberation in practice and
observance.
Liberation is not transactional as a reflection of fiscal,
political, or cultural surrender but a declaration of humanity.
History will bear witness to us as it has stood against those
before us. We must recognize the unilateral sovereignty and
humanity of others to ensure ours. The passion is in the
persuasion and not the perspective.
It undoubtedly should not be punishment for daring to better
African nations with African resources. Everyone else not
oppressed is allowed, and now so will Africa, not by
permission but by declaration. In this day and age, a clash of
history, ethnicity, religion, or ideology must not devolve into a
default response of destruction or display of power but instead
cooperation and compromise of persuasion.
19. 19
The world is trembling from the addiction of inhumanity and
exploitation that must address the compulsions of ignorant
ideologies promoting inhumane directives. Otherwise,
resentment, rebuke, and rebellion are inevitable. Any
apprentice of power must know, eventually, the dignity of
rebellion swells the courage to rise up transcending fear and
control.
The courage to resist instead of cowering in the safety of
servitude and exploitation is intrinsic when pushed to the
brink. We should all be afraid of what or who we will become
if we are indifferent to the plight of others either by our hand,
on our behalf, or in our view. But equally important, who are
they made to become by us? Life and dignity of life must be
mutually maintained.
The world is quick and definitive to stand with others. Perhaps
it is time for the radius of concern to encompass the African. If
not, don't cry about who does or when ties are severed. That
cycle is over. A new cycle has begun. Now who dare stand
with Africa against atrocities of geopolitical extortion? I do,
do you?
