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

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.

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

"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

/>) for sure! Does that mean Palestinians shouldn't get
Palestine
back? Oh wait.....)

him over the years so retrieving his remains would be almost
impossible without exhuming everyone else so they won't do it.

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.

> ~ 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.

> 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.
--- End 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".

> 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

in the larger struggle for influence on the continent between
Russia and the West.
