How Europe Divided African Continent Among Themselves In Berlin by Chimighty007(m): 12:13pm On Apr 13, 2021
In 1884/85, European colonialists gathered in Berlin, the capital of Germany to balkanize African countries into colonies for themselves, the European imperialists, after the partitioning British and France got the largest chunk of the territories to colonise.

Britain colonised countries like Gambia, Ghana, Nigeria, Southern Cameroon (which later joined northern Cameroon to form Cameroon), Sierra Leone, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, South Africa, Lesotho, Botswana, Sudan and Eswatini (former Swaziland).

Franch in the other hand, also colonised many countries in Africa, such as Mali, Togo, Guinea Conakry, Guinea Bissau, Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, Benin, Mauritania, Senegal, Niger, Northern Cameroon, Central African Republic, Algeria, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Congo-Brazzaville, Chad and many more.

French Government even compelled 14 countries in Africa to pay colonial tax since 1961 still date, and those countries are in West African and Central African subregions, and this French policy has attracted many criticisms from educated Africans. European countries like Portugal, Belgium, Germany and many more equally had their colonies then, though, Germany lost their colonies after the world war to other European colonialists.

... that's why any African leader that comes with genuine heart to liberate his country and possibly influence others will be killed by his own people for peanuts the colonialists promises

All great African leaders were killed by their colonialists using their own people.

as soon as you pull out from global government system, reject loans to focus on your local contents, they'll kill you and put a stooge to rule and impoverish the people again.

After Magunfuli, Ghanaian president is the next cos of his new steps to making Ghana great and pushing Africa to look inward and forget foreign supports. I heard telling the France that we are not babies anymore. we need to keep praying for Ghanaian president, Kagame too, but he's more or less a tyrant but they're doing well

let's stop religious and tribal sentiments, we're not our problem but the west is.
