I was fortunate to attend a photographers summit some years ago.
I just crashed into the event but what shocked me was when I met a photo journalist who told me that he read a book "HOW EUROPE UNDERDEVELOPED AFRICA!!!
Though I haven't read that book ,i.know there is no need to read it as it is clear to see the handwritings on the wall!!!!
NEOCOLONIALISM is that path that the colonial masters fail to want to give up .
The independence you think they have given to Africa is not genuine at all!
What they have done is just to train puppets who come to their own country,educate them and send them back to their former colonies in Africa to cause the following
1)POLITICAL INSTABILITY: Although ,it is not only France doing this, America is also doing this and the reason is because they only want a share of the colonies resources eg mineral resources which they need badly.
So they train human resources that will suite their own political interest and send them to Africa to prepare them to now enter into power and become their own puppets that will now be doing their own bidding and fight any one who doesn't bend to their own interest.
America's foreign policy and the French foreign policy is not suited to better the life of the host nations they are in but to create a long based problems that will ensure their own interventions in the names of political instability remains.
It is these foreign powers that have one interest or the other that also arm their puppets with anti people ideologies and political bias so they can continue to have something to say about the country and also so that they can be seen as a savior Africa runs too.
2)MILITARY PACTS AND INTERVENTIONS THAT ARE ONE SIDED.
THE head of the current coup d'etat in Niger hit the nail on the head when he explained what is really going on.
The french and their so called styled aid or military intervention is not working in the interest of the citizens of Niger.
Instead,it only works for the interest of the french and American government!
Who is deceiving who? The french government will come in the name of military intervention to fight terrorist and remain on Niger republic soil for long times.
It is still the same idiot french and American government with all their tech that will secretly arm militant groups that fight against the side of the government that doesn't support the french or then American government!
It is surprising that one Mali military officer said they saw a notable terrorists and were called by the then president to leave him alone!!!
Why? It is because he is serving the interest of the french or American or foreign governments .
Private military companies have benefitted massively from terrorism.
They have also supplied terrorists ammunition to fight against the host nations governments
In the name of fighting Terrorism, they secretly arm their own side interest against the other sides and they use this to say that the other sides are terrorists!
One thing that keeps surprising me is that how did terrorism become so global and the answer is simple!
It was because the west didn't want the north in their path.
So they armed the Talibans back then to fight Russians.
Russians left and America was happy until Osama bin laden came and was asking what Americans want?
Americans wanted oil and were too proud to ask for it.
This is just the nature of the typical white people,they can never be blessed like Africa in mineral resources and feel to proud to ask for it.
This is exactly how that idiot president macron feels.
This is how it has been all along so that the french can continue to loot their host nations resources and carry it away.
It's so sad that this cannot stop because the french and American government has paid someone dirty to do their jobs so that.they can remain in the colony.
Who are the dirty people?
The dirty people are the separatist groups,the terrorists ,the factions and rebels who normally have an issue with their governments and are now armed by foreign imperialists secretly to gain control and so that the government is brought to it's knees and now cries for help from the same people causing the problems!!
The dirty people are the European weapon dealers who sells arms and see terrorism and as a business and won't want it to end because they are gaining!!
So the militant groups fighting the government will be armed secretly by the same french or America government while government troops will also be armed so as to fight one another.
Then the idiots use their own international media to report on the country military negative news such as human rights abuse by government troops and also bad mouth them with their stupid international media coverage!!
Has it occured to you why international media like C.N.N,Fox news,Reuters , always spend long time reporting on war ,terrorism,crime in Africa than anything positive
It is because they are the cause of it all!!
These are the nefarious attitudes of the colonial masters who don't want to give Africa peace and see chaos as a means of control and means of staying to tap the mineral resources!
3) GRANTS,AIDS AND LOANS:These have been the stupid cover helps these foreign powers use to hypnotize African presidents into also doing their bidding.
It is very annoying but we see it all happening again as Africans are too over hospitable to these colonial powers and become their puppets eventually.
Nigeria's president has been pocketed by the Americans because of his allegedly so called drug use offence in the past and has no option but to do the bidding of the west in some ways.
Now PBAT is doing the bidding of the west now by being the head of ECOWAS and trying to restore the same corrupt system that has been in place
At the end of the day, ,should ECOWAS intervene and restore peace,then the whole cycle of oppression begins again.
The cause of the problem are the french and American government who don't care whose ax is gored so they continue again to do evil!
The AFP has never helped matters at all to the extent of things.
If any one sees resources which they desire,instead of coming to the land and humbly making a request,they instead will come and try to dominate the people by turning them against the government just to say something negative in media!!!
In doing so they make sure that Africans fight one another and remain impoverished for ever while they come to take over the resources and control the economy.
They lend loans with stringent conditions that will further indebt African nations.
They make sure paying back of loans takes forever and interest is 8 times more than any other nation from any other countries.
4) IMPERIALIST NATURE:Just as they know they can never survive without Africa, they won't want to do things the legal way!
They feel too proud to come and ask something humbly.
They keep calling Africa a third world continent and continue speaking bad of the place they have benefitted the most from in mineral resources and price it whatever price they wish they can price.
It's unfortunate because most African leaders don't know their values and rights,they always succumb to the foreign imperialists nature and end up making slaves of their own selves and citizens.
It must stop!
