PAN-AFRICANISM - FlashPoint: Death of French Neo-Colonialism...Mali Niger Burkina Faso and Guinea Challenge.

[frankster]

Niger has become the latest country in West Africa where the army has seized control, following Burkina Faso, Guinea, Mali, and Chad - all former French colonies. Since 1990, a striking 78% of the 27 coups in sub-Saharan Africa have occurred in Francophone states leading some commentators to ask whether France - or the legacy of French colonialism - is to blame?

Many of the coup plotters would certainly like us to think so. Colonel Abdoulaye Maiga, who was named prime minister by the military junta in Mali in September 2022, launched a scathing attack on France.

Criticising "neocolonialist, condescending, paternalist and vengeful policies", Mr Maiga alleged that France had "disowned universal moral values" and stabbed Mali "in the back".

Anti-French vitriol has also flourished in Burkina Faso, where the military government ended a long-standing accord that allowed French troops to operate in the country in February, giving France one month to remove its forces.

In Niger, which neighbours both countries, allegations that President Mohamed Bazoum was a puppet for French interests were used to legitimise his removal from power, and five military deals with France have since been revoked by the junta led by Gen Abdourahmane Tchiani. Partly as a result, the coup was followed by popular protests and attacks on the French embassy.

 

The historical record provides some support for these grievances. French colonial rule established political systems designed to extract valuable resources while using repressive strategies to retain control.

So did British colonial rule, but what was distinctive about France's role in Africa was the extent to which it continued to engage - its critics would say meddle - in the politics and economics of its former territories after independence.

Seven of the nine Francophone states in West Africa still use the CFA franc, which is pegged to the euro and guaranteed by France, as their currency, a legacy of French economic policy towards its colonies.

France also forged defence agreements that saw it regularly intervene militarily on behalf of unpopular pro-French leaders to keep them in power.

Mali’s Armed Forces Just Discovered U.S Hidden Mercenaries

[ProfD]

Brotha @frankster excellent thread. 

 

Discussions related to this very topic mainly between @Pioneer1 and I are sprinkled throughout various threads.

 

I hope African countries are successful in kicking and keeping the French out of their affairs.   That goes for every other foreign entity crippling their sovereignty.

 

It's not an easy lift especially with the US, European and Asian super powers siding with France as fellow neocolonialists.

[Pioneer1]

I don't think the French are "wurred" about what's going on in West Africa one bit.
Know why?
For several reasons:

1. It's not about kicking out the French alone.
The System of White Racism is global and works as a team.
If you kick out France, eventually England, Germany, the U.S. and Russia will get involved one way or another and you'll have to deal with them.

2. Any group of angry young men can pick up gats and declare a Revolution and declare themselves free.

The White Power Structure COULD send in a battalion and lay so many of our brothers over there low....it wouldn't even be funny.

But they probably won't do that.
They'll probably do what they've BEEN doing for the past 50 years and just WAIT.

Wait on what?

Wait on them to get hungry......

Whether you're talking about Burkina, Niger, Haiti, or any other nation that is in the throws of a coup you find the same story.
A bunch of young men who all want to stand around with gats but nobody wants to pick up a shovel and dig a ditch to lay the foundation for a new building.
Nobody wants to go to the country side and plant trees, crops, raise animals, learn how to build buildings and irrigation systems.
They just want to fight eachother over what already IS there and what's left after the many wars....and ofcourse wait on foreign aid in the form of food and money and fight eachother over that too.

And White folks know it.

We can see the coup.
We can see the plans for armed revolution.
We can see military men in uniforms and berets laying across their heads with gats on their hip standing around making speeches with more armed young men standing around looking mean.

We see that.

Now....show me the people actually FARMING and growing enough food to feed their population so they won't have to keep begging the West for sacks of grain and rice to fight over, and BUILDING brand new buildings and schools and hospitals THEMSELVES instead of asking Whites and Asians to do it for them -as part of this Revolutionary coup to replace the White System!

I'm waiting.

One of the problems is under colonialism....much of the ancient culture and ways of farming and doing things to feed themselves were ERASED as the Europeans imposed a new system of doing things on them.

After generation after generation of this, the "old ways" have been nearly forgotten.

Now it's up to us to discover and invent brand new ways to become independent and self sufficient.....because the way the Europeans taught us certainly isn't working.

But I don't think most of them are trying to do that.
Many Africans....like many AfroAmericans....simply don't want White folks telling them what to do anymore, but still don't know how to fully take care of themselves and operate a fully functioning society.

Kind of like a teenager who is growing up in an abusive foster home and wants their independence from their abusers, but doesn't have a job, doesn't own a car, doesn't know the first thing about leasing an apartment or buying a house.

Most of those teenagers end up just fine. Sure they have to struggle at but, that is perfectly understandable and expected.

As evidenced by the title of this thread, if white folks left Blacks alone and stopped stealing their resources and colonizing them, Black folks would be totally self-sufficient.  

 

There's enough intelligence among Black folks to do anything we desire.  Just a matter of removing foreigners from our lands and building strategic alliances among ourselves using our collective knowledge, skills and abilities.

 

Black folks can totally thrive and survive without white folks.

If they can secure their borders and the influence and information that flows in and out of their nation ENOUGH, most nations would be satisfied.

 

 

Show me the Truth in your Analysis....?

 

Look at the current situation in Haiti as a stark example.

 

You have several groups of armed men.
The media calls them "gangs".
I would call them militias.
But all of them are armed and fighting eachother over territory, money, and resources that already exist or is promised to come in.

 

How many of them are talking about farming to be able to feed their population, building new schools to educate the population, and building a new infrastructure for the nation?

Any of them building hospitals?
 

 

 

Zimbabwe.
 

So, 2 questions:

 

1. Did the Black population of Zimbabwe forcibly KICK OUT the White power structure that ruled the land or were they GRANTED so-called "independence" from that power structure?

2. Is the nation of Zimbabwe currently THRIVING?
 

[Troy]

@Pioneer1 no I do not think most meaning more than 50% of Black people know how to farm but I don’t think 50% of any demographic living in the United States in 2024 knows how to farm with the exception of actual farmers.

 

As far as fishing, I would be willing to bet 51% of Black people have some experience fishing. even if they don’t they can learn in 30 minutes or so.

 

But you never needed “most” people to know how to farm or fish you just need enough people to support the rest.

 

But the point I’d that I agree with ProfD statement:

 

On 3/26/2024 at 3:07 PM, ProfD said:

I was surprised that you would reject that statement and supported by saying that most Black people don’t know how to fish.

[Pioneer1]

Troy

 

 

no I do not think most meaning more than 50% of Black people know how to farm 

 

Exactly.
So where is the argument?

 

 

 

As far as fishing, I would be willing to bet 51% of Black people have some experience fishing. even if they don’t they can learn in 30 minutes or so.

 

I'm not sure about that.
Are you including all Black women and all Black folks born and raised in major cities in this demographic?

 

 

 

 

 

But you never needed “most” people to know how to farm or fish you just need enough people to support the rest.

Ok.
You're right.

Now....do we have THAT?

Do we have enough AfroAmericans who know how to farm and fish to feed our community here in the U.S.?

 

 

 

 

I was surprised that you would reject that statement and supported by saying that most Black people don’t know how to fish.

 

I'd agree that we don't need WHITE folks to teach us, but we need SOMEBODY to teach us...even if it's other AfroAmericans who know how.

 

As we've already agreed upon, most of our people DO NOT know how to properly farm or fish to generate enough food to feed our entire community, let alone enough to actually sell food to other communities to help support them and make money for ourselves.

 

The question isn't whether or not we can learn.
Most of us were farmers and knew how to grow our own food, build our own houses, and sew our own clothes when we were living down South over 100 years ago.
My GrandFather actually built the house my Mother and her siblings were raised in and my Grandmother sewed their clothes.
 

We're not talking about then, we're talking about NOW.

Also none of the above is proof of truth.

It was The Clintons who destroyed Haitian Agriculture and Bill took responsibility for it....but has yet to commit to a remediation plan of action instead the situation is being exasperated.

Since the Market for local Goods is destroyed...Nothing will sell that is locally grown - Making locally grown food unprofitable as cheap mass produced and heavily subsidize food is flooding the local market from Arkansas/USA.

How you going to build hospital/schools or infrastructures when you Starving and if you do how are to pay workers teachers /nurses/doctors and buy medicine/supplies...with the enemy/US only too happy to destroy all your good effort.

 

 

Since his invasion in 1994, Clinton has completely destroyed the structure of Haitian agriculture. In 1995 he forced the nation to drop tariffs on rice imported from America. Haiti dropped its import tariffs on rice from 50% to 3%. Clinton claimed this move would help Haiti jump into the "Industrial Era." Yet even before Clinton took this action, experts were well aware of the consequences:

“An export-driven trade and investment policy has the potential to relentlessly squeeze the domestic rice farmer. This farmer will be forced to adapt, or (s)he will disappear.” –quoted in Lisa McGowan, [January 1997] REPORT HERE (PDF)

After adopting Clinton's policies, Haiti became the fourth-largest importer of rice from the U.S, even though they were the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Most of the imported rice came from Clinton's home state in Arkansas. Today, Haiti is the fifth largest importer of American rice in the world, even though their population is just 10 million.

Back in the 1970's Haiti imported only 19% of its food. When Haiti shut out the global markets, they were self sufficient and managed to feed a majority of their population while producing trade surpluses. Yet now Haiti imports over 80% of its rice from the U.S. Due to the new trade agreements, one ton of Haitian rice is now $300 more expensive than American rice on the Haitian market. This has devastated Haiti's ability to feed itself and be self sufficient. Haiti has 700,000 hectares of underutilized arable land, but still suffers from chronic trade deficits and food insecurity as a result of Clinton's policies.

BILL CLINTON: Since 1981, the United States has followed a policy, until the last year or so when we started rethinking it, that we rich countries that produce a lot of food should sell it to poor countries and relieve them of the burden of producing their own food, so, thank goodness, they can leap directly into the industrial era. It has not worked. It may have been good for some of my farmers in Arkansas, but it has not worked. It was a mistake. It was a mistake that I was a party to. I am not pointing the finger at anybody. I did that. I have to live every day with the consequences of the lost capacity to produce a rice crop in Haiti to feed those people, because of what I did. Nobody else.

Africans do not totally dislike AfroAmericans. 

 

Africans are afraid and wary of us because they have been fed a narrative that AfroAmericans are lazy, ignorant, violent, drug abusers, etc.   

 

Unfortunately, AfroAmericans have no control over the propaganda that goes out into the world about us.

 

As I've mentioned several times here, there are quite a few Africans in my tribe. 

 

I'm a very proud AfroAmerican man in being able to show Africans our success on several levels.

Much of it comes not only from what they hear from White folks who go to Africa but from what they SEE when they come to the United States.

They don't have to watch the news to realize that there is dysfunction in the AfroAmerican community; all they have to do is go to nearly any major city and SEE it live and in flesh.

We have SOME control over it by improving ourselves as a community as well as taking ownership of major media depictions of us around the planet.

 

I've toured my African brothers and sisters through the streets on which I grew up to where I live in the cradle of AfroAmerican affluence.

 

Education is priceless.  It is a key to shared understanding and eliminating ignorance.

And this is what's needed on a larger scale.
Not only do we have to clean up the dysfunction of our community but we have to produce and control OUR OWN narratives and what the rest of the world sees of us.

Both are necessary.

Interestingly, there's no highlight on the many thriving AfroAmerican communities in every major city throughout the USA.

 

Maybe it's a great thing for AfroAmericans who live in thriving communities to stay on the low.

 

That's why I make it my business to re-educate folks who come here on that BS.

Takes a strong individual or group of AfroAmerican leadership from that community to clean it up and change the narrative.

 

The mayor of Baltimore is a young educated AfroAmerican man. He looks and walks and talks like the residents of B-more. I've heard  he's doing a good job there. That's a step in the right direction.

The only good thing about the mainstream media NOT highlighting successful Black communities and their frequent achievements is that it offers less of a chance that racists not familiar with a given community won't know about, get jealous, and try to attack it in multiple ways.
Other than that..........

It's our responsibility to establish our own media in ever community we operate from television to radio to internet channels and service to news papers.
100 years ago nearly every Black community in the U.S. had it's own news paper and even Black SCHOOLS had their own little news papers with  editors and sellers!
So many of our people got lazy after integration.

Every major metropolitan area in the United States should have atleast one independent AfroAmerican television channel.
Places like Chicago, Detroit, and Atlanta should have 3 or 4!

True....but the US is not the only so called first world power that has problem with Migrants and Drugs

 

I told you, in the U.S. it's not a "problem" for those who orchestrate it.

Yes...it's not a problem  for those who "take Advantage" of the situation

I really do not think the present migrant and drug situation is orchestrated - beyond it being a side effect or unintended consequence of US foreign policy

Chad seeks to join the Sahel Alliance.....Are they for real?

All in all it is a step in the right direction - Pan Africanistic

Rumor has it Chad just accept US and French  troops ousted from Niger.

So now we have two potential turn coats in the Alliance - Guinea and Chad.

If Deby wins the election in Chad then he in my opinion is still marking time with and for the Western powers.

Democracy is overrated and often confused with elections..

The US has a military base in Niger mainly to launch drones.  Niger wants us out of there. 

 

Not to be undone, the US wants to *negotiate* favorable terms to maintain a presence there.
