The resistance has not yet succeeded. The resistance can only be
considered successful when all colonialist bloodlines have been
eliminated from existence.

The True Result of Western Civilization

See this written explanation from a documentary video about
Western Civilization :
Important Historical Knowledge :
[quote]"Between the 15th Century, when Portugal became the first
European nation to take significant part in African slave
trading. And 1807 when the Transatlantic slave trade was
abolished, European ships cutted millions of people away from
Africa. In total European ships took over 11.000.000 people into
slavery from the "West African Coast" alone.
This obvious trade made European grow rich on the profits while
the populations of Africa was devastated
By the 1870s only 10 percent of the continent was under direct
European control within Algeria, held by France. "The Cape
Colony" and "The Natal" both in modern day South Africa held by
the British. And Angola by Portugal. However, by 1900 Europeans
were ruling more than 90 percent of the African continent.
European nations had added almost 10 million square miles of
Africa, one-fift of the landmass of the globe to their overseas
colonial possessions.
(Minute 00 : 18 until 01 : 55)
...
They developed a system of colluding with indigenous rulers. The
supposed representatives of the people. So they got these people
to help ferment wars and unrest so that slaves could be
captured, and sold to them and then transported through the
"Transatlantic" slave trade
...
The avowed purpose of "The Berlin Conference" was to discuss the
future of Africa. And the stamping out of slavery because most
of European countries had become industrialized and so they no
longer needed as much manual labor as they needed when they
dependent on slave trade. So an Act was signed at the conference
in Berlin, it's known as the Berlin Act of 1885 by 13 European
powers, which had a result and the Act had a resolution to stop
to help in the suppressing of slavery. So while on the surface
they stamping out of a slavery sounds like a laudable venture.
In reality, the major strategic and economic objective of the
European countries was how to protect their old interest, trades
and markets in Africa and how to exploit new ones. As I said
this was in the light of the Industrial Revolution. We did not
require as much as human labor as slave trade had provided. So
the Berlin Conference therefore started the process of carving
up Africa and putting up borders to suit European interest
without taking into consideration to the cultural or ethnic
components of Africa

It's OK for graves to be "white":

[quote]Ethiopia's Prince Alemayehu: Buckingham Palace rejects
calls to return royal's body
Exhuming Prince Alemayehu's body would disrupt the remains of
others, Buckingham Palace says.
...
Buckingham Palace has declined a request to return the remains
of an Ethiopian prince who came to be buried at Windsor Castle
in the 19th Century.
Prince Alemayehu was taken to the UK aged just seven and arrived
an orphan after his mother died on the journey.
Queen Victoria then took an interest in him and arranged for his
education - and ultimately his burial when he died aged just 18.
But his family wants his remains to be sent back to Ethiopia.
"We want his remains back as a family and as Ethiopians because
that is not the country he was born in," one of the royal
descendants Fasil Minas told the BBC.
"It was not right" for him to be buried in the UK, he added.
But in a statement sent to the BBC, a Buckingham Palace
spokesperson said removing his remains could affect others
buried in the catacombs of St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle.
"It is very unlikely that it would be possible to exhume the
remains without disturbing the resting place of a substantial
number of others in the vicinity," the palace said.[/quote]
"White" ethics in a nutshell. (The British were the ones who
made the initial decision to bury the prince's corpse there! If
exhuming the prince's remains would disturb others, that is
entirely the fault of the British, which they must deal with!
Why should Ethiopians be denied the return of the prince's
remains because of a decision made by the British? Giving
Palestine back to Palestinians would also disturb Israelis (whom
the British gave Palestine to
HTML https://trueleft.createaforum.com/enemies/israel/msg352/#msg352<br
/>) for sure! Does that mean Palestinians shouldn't get Palestin
e
back? Oh wait.....)
[quote]In April 1868 they laid siege to Tewodros' mountain
fortress at Maqdala in northern Ethiopia, and in a matter of
hours overwhelmed the defences.
The emperor decided he would rather take his own life than be a
prisoner of the British, an action that turned him into a heroic
figure among his people.
After the battle, the British plundered thousands of cultural
and religious artefacts. These included gold crowns,
manuscripts, necklaces and dresses.
Historians say dozens of elephants and hundreds of mules were
needed to cart away the treasures, which are today scattered
across European museums and libraries, as well as in private
collections.
The British also took away Prince Alemayehu and his mother,
Empress Tiruwork Wube.
...
it was decided that the prince should have a formal education.
He was sent to the British public school Rugby but he was not
happy there. He later moved to the Royal Military College in
Sandhurst where he was subjected to bullying.
The prince had a "hankering" to return home, correspondence
quoted by Heavens says, but that idea was swiftly quashed.
...
After a decade in exile the prince died in 1879 at the age of
just 18.[/quote]
NEVER FORGIVE. NEVER FORGET.

Woke comments:
[quote]The European way, is to arrogantly take the position that
they have the rights to this teens remains, period!
And all the more in step with European history when intertwined
with “other” peoples, is that they are best suited to be
curators of what is unrelated and not their own. Though royalty
from the Dark Continent is a royal plus for the taking AND
keeping![/quote]
[quote]Another sad story of the smash and grab carried out by
Europeans in the colonial years.[/quote]
[quote]Plunder wasn’t enough…Just like the British to take a
child and his mother and no doubt consider them, property. The
h-e-l-l and paranoia that child must have experienced![/quote]
[quote]British looted the whole world for centuries, including
corpses. Of course it's very "disruptive" to give anything
back.[/quote]
[quote]of course they stole thousands of religious and cultural
artifacts and jewels they won't be returning either. they won't
admit it but it also seems like this young man is buried in a
vault or mausoleum with several British royals buried on top of
him over the years so retrieving his remains would be almost
impossible without exhuming everyone else so they won't do
it.[/quote]
Contrast with the based comments such as:
[quote]Hilarious. Weez was kangzz. Blacks can’t be royal.
Their best accompaniment was pick 1ng k0t inn. [/quote]

Why Africa and France Have Fallen Out
[quote]The coup in Niger and the subsequent attack on the French
Embassy has once again highlighted the tensions between France
and its former colonies. So in this video, we'll explain
French-African relations post-colonialism and why they’re now
deteriorating.[/quote]

[quote]I’m absolutely astonished that you skipped over the
ridiculous “independence agreement” that french shoved down
their former colonies - first right of sale to natural resources
is one of the biggest reasons the region is poor[/quote]
[quote]Considering what France did to West Africa, it would be
more surprising to think Africa doesn't hate France, or pretty
much any European country
Belgium in particular has so much blood on its hand[/quote]

What is the Wagner Group really doing in Africa? | DW News
[quote]It's been one month since the Russian mercernary leader
Yevgeny Prigozhin was reportedly killed in a plane crash in
Russia. Days before his death Prigozhin had been in the Central
African Republic where his Wagner Group is in charge of
president Faustin-Archange Touadera's security. But since
Prigozhin's death there is division in the country over Wagner's
presence. DW's Zigoto Tchaya Tchameni reports from Bangui.

Comments:
[quote]~ 6:11 : the idea that Russia, a european superpower that
still controls most of its former colonial empire, and is
currently waging a war of Re-colonization on its former colonial
holding, is some sort of anti-colonial paragon would be
hilarious if it weren't so pitifully harmful to the nations
falling for it.[/quote]
[quote]Russia had no colonies, because it developed all its
territory to its economic level, it had more than half of the
Russian population in the empire, and even the natives ruled the
Russian minority in these places. Germany is more imperialistic
in Eastern Europe, because in order to enter the EU they had to
sell all the banks to them, so all the money from that part of
Europe is in German hands. In addition, most of the companies
were bought by the Germans at a low price.[/quote]
[quote]Tell that to all the people who lived under the Russian
boot for 70 years during the Soviet Union, and to the people who
live under its boot right now. Russia never let the natives of
its territories rule, Russia always put Russians as the new
oligarchs of that region, that was literally Joseph Stalins
entire strategy for ruling, and you best believe Putin is
looking to do the same and has done the same in the places under
the "federation". Developing your imperial territory to your
economic level is something every colonizer does, and it is not
an excuse for them colonizing you, why would you give them a
pass over that and proceed to ignore the way they brutalize your
people? You're giving Russia a free pass on well earned
criticism, and then using that criticism towards someone else
who doesn't have their hands in Africa, your argument is
inconsistent, and you're criticizing someone somewhere else
doing something entirely different, on a discussion of how
Russia is inserting colonizer control in Africa under the
moniker of "anti colonizer".[/quote]
[quote]Russia is the last colonial empire. To say Russia is not,
and was not, a colonial empire is disingenuous at best.[/quote]

Why the Wagner Group Started a Brewery in Africa | WSJ
[quote]Most Wagner businesses in Africa are centered on natural
resources like gold, diamonds and timber. But in 2022 the
Russian paramilitary group started a brewery in the Central
African Republic and used it as a way to compete with the French
in the larger struggle for influence on the continent between
Russia and the West.

How Russia Profits From African Coups | System Error
[quote]From Mali to Sudan, Burkina Faso to Chad, coups have been
spreading across Africa. In the midst of the chaos, Russia has
seen an opportunity. The Kremlin is using disinformation and
mercenaries to fuel instability in the region.
This allows Russia to spread its influence while gaining access
to valuable natural resources. In this episode, we investigate
how Russia profits from instability in Africa.[/quote]
