"...let us not forget that we sometimes had leaders who gave their all to the struggle. Their blood, their lives, their spirit, their souls. Let us not forget what happened to them. Let us keep their visions alive as we fight to breathe the air of freedom in a new #Africa."
Sick of all these "Bluesky is so nice and civil" posts.
If it's so great & relevant to discussing the most urgent problems in the world, why are so many here silent about the genocide that Israel & the US-led West have carried out for over a year?
What's so nice about ignoring genocide?
Israel is not the victim, never has been, never will be.
The demanding process & sheer amount of energy & commitment it takes to consciously & actively deconstruct & unlearn everything consumed (as an Afrispora) is not for the faint of heart, especially if one chooses to return home to take up the challenge of belonging after years of being "the other".
I went searching for an Africa-sky & ran into a whole bunch of iPad-imperialists & conflict enterpreneurs....
Woosaa.
Let me not be "racist" this gorgeous African Sunday morning.
Pet peeve # 101: people who jump on any #FreeCountryX bandwagon without understanding the history/context of Country X 🙄
Do y'all not realize that you risk amplifying the narratives of those same imperialists you claim to be fighting in Country Y?
The intellectual laziness is both sad & criminal.
Keep the frame on the left in mind when you read all of the "congratulations on the free and fair elections" the UK & other colonizers are showering that tiny enclave (right frame) in Somalia...
The people who want to see Palestine annihilated are the same Western neoliberal imperialists who helm the capitalist system that’s destroying our planet. That is why Palestinian liberation is an essential first step to our own liberation.
Caucasians talking about the "great replacement" - as if oblivious to their savage ancestors' trackrecord - & Musk using his toxic platform to push that twisted inferiority complex, is one of the reasons to never stop dunking on people saying "get over" slavery, colonialism, racism/white supremacy!
“Facism came in to assist monopoly capitalism by smashing all the bourgeois individual democratic rights and institutions in order to protect the bourgeoisie as a class against the possibilities of socialist revolution.”
Dani W. Nabudere, The Political Economy of Imperialism
That Africans still don't get this fundamental fact blows my mind: "development" systems anchored in white supremacy, slavery, & colonialism (ie UN, World Bank, IMF, etc) weren't designed to pull Africa out of underdevelopment!
There's a FREE world outside of these structures. Dare to imagine.
“The conqueror writes history. They came, they conquered and they wrote. Now you don’t expect people who came to invade us to write the truth about us” —Miriam Makeba
"Imperialism has laid its body over the world, the head in Eastern Asia, the heart in the Middle East, its arteries reaching Africa and Latin America. Wherever you strike it, you damage it, and you serve the World Revolution."
— Ghassan Kanafani
I need Africans to study the confidence & self-awareness oozing from this picture - especially the saboteurs & conformists too timid to imagine our countries collectively existing/thriving outside of economic, political & social sandboxes designed to keep us chained to a rigged international system.

James Baldwin is more relevant than ever before.
