#free Africa

[readyforevolution]

I am not for the West or for the East; I am for Africa.

But, just to remind you that we know who colonize and enslave us, we know those who overthrown Kwame Nkrumah and killed Sylvester Olympio, Patrice Lumumba, Thomas Sankara, And those who invaded and destroyed Libya and caused genocide in Rwanda.

We know those who create war in Africa and tell us that they are peace keepers, yes, we know those who create hunger and poverty and call themselves aid givers. If you don't know, ask yourself who owns African resources with gun everyday.

I am not for East nor for the West, I am for Africa, and I am minding my business as we are living on daily basis in a war zone created and maintained by those who cares so much about humanity.

Free Africa

[hadesoftheladies]

thinking about how racism is in everything and how, in modern times, the treatment is usually on a spectrum. thinking about how blackness is treated as a mark of inhuman ness and how brown-ness is hated for its proximity to blackness. how brown people are relieved they still have straighter hair. lighter skin.

this has become even more apparent to me in the discussions on genocide concerning palestine. blue-eyed blonde-haired Palestinian babies being filmed to elicit more sympathy from white people because brown Palestinians aren’t seen as human, apparently . to show that “yes, we’re human too.” how even as palestine is no winner, whatever has been happening in Congo and sudan is still not as important. not visible. not as discussed. and it’s been like this since the dawn of the 21st century.

Africans have been killed and butchered and tortured for so long that it’s become mundane, even in africa. That the talk of aid, the talk of donations, organizing . . . Elicits anger that quickly fizzles out. Africans don’t even want to talk much about it because whether we’re in cities or farms or slums, it reminds us how powerless we are. how disconnected. from each other, from history, from the future. For a continent steeped in diversity for millennia, colonialism ruined unity, and everything feels disjointed and disconnected. we feel relieved that we aren’t Central Africans (sometimes mistaking colonial-ordained stability for progress), we turn our eyes away from the pictures shared online by white people because we’ve always found it humiliating. How their journalists take photos of the children they starved. How they paid our presidents to starve them. When white people talk loudly about aid and relief for Africans, they don’t care at all about our dignity. They haven’t cared and we aren’t about to stop them. They have the money. The power. We are spectators in our own destinies.

I wish I knew where to start. There is a reason most refugees in africa look for Western sympathy more than from their fellow Africans.

the UN doesn’t aid, it regulates. which charity is a colonial plant and which actually cares about the people?

my economy is shit because my president has to do whatever the overlords say. my neighbors boast about having peace, but peace in every African country is fragile. It is not in our hands. we have peace because our country is protected by the hand that is playing it. Because it advantages the overlords for us to be stable. aren’t we lucky? to be favored in this way.

Palestinians didn’t earn what happened to them. Congolese aren’t innately prone to war. Sudanese don’t deserve what’s happening to them. None of these genocides are “random conflicts.” They’re in the colonial schedule. Deliberate. Strategic. None of them planned by the civilians suffering.

I wonder if my country will break out in “spontaneous” “savage” war when our peace and prosperity becomes threatening. When we finally seize control of our oil. When there’s something more precious to mine.

if it can happen to them, who says it won’t happen to us? these things don’t happen because we want them to.

And after it's gonna be water, so Latin America... we are next.

Nobody will be free from this if we don't start stopping them now. We know, we have known for a long time, that the West loves to steal resources under lies, because they know their people will not take it if they knew the truth of how they procure those resources. But now everything is out there, we know the truth, and the people in the West are awaking too. It's time to stop this greed.

We all grow together, or no one grows.

Uhhh right OK, violating User Guidelines somehow... Free Palestine. Free Syria. Free Lebanon. Free Yemen. Free all of U.S. and Israeli imperialism and colonial-settler projects or overthrows of government. Fuck AFRICOM and NATO and all the U.S. 'COM' projects.

The Biden/Harris administration is enforcing a siege on Lebanon as Israel continues to bomb and wipe out villages.

The Israelis have been airstriking Dhahiya, Southern Beirut nonstop all day today, exceeding 10 major strikes on random buildings with no end in sight. Evacuation orders were covering the entire neighborhood.

A traditional Afar cemetery near the inland Awash River Delta in Ethiopia. Photograph by George Steinmetz.

Tens of thousands of tumuli dot the the landscape of the Afar region of Ethiopia. These tumuli or cairns, are stone burial mounds, referred to as “wadils”. They are huddled together in stone villages of the dead, known as “qabri”. Fallen warriors would have larger and taller mounds, which featured rows of stones indicating the number of kills the warrior had racked up in his lifetime, with some of the graves having dozens such stones.

Some of these graves are quite recent, while others are a lot older. Some may even date back to the Late Stone Age, when a vast neolithic stone landscape stretched across the region during the last African humid period. Little is known about these sites as archaeological excavations in the region have been scant.

This is important.

The Western Media did not broadcast South Africa's argument, while some dared to only show Israel's defence. Never before in my life have I seen mainstream medias only broadcast one side of the trial.

These actors read out South Africa's case and did what the mainstream media was supposed to do and failed to do.

Proud of them for using their power and privilege the right way.

Don't ignore me, listen to our sad story💔🥹🍉

My name is Kariman Dohan, I am 25 years old. I was a committed and diligent teacher, and my husband, Ayman Olwan, 30 years old, is a business administration graduate, but due to unemployment and difficult conditions in Gaza, he was forced to work as a fisherman. We have a wonderful son named Hamoud, who is one and a half years old. We live in Gaza, specifically Khan Yunis, where the fishing boat, fishing equipment and the school where I worked were damaged🥹🫂💔😭😭😭😭

We have been displaced several times, and our tragedy has reached the point that we now live in a tent that is unfit for living. We desperately need your help, I have launched a donation campaign but I cannot get the funds so I can get $50000 to get through this current crisis.

15.000$********75.000$

Before the war and after the war, this is what happened to us😔💔

................

I know that the world is full of people who want to help others, and you are one of them. Please be with us in this ordeal and share your donation to help us get out of these difficult situations🫂🥹🥹🙏🙏🍉

Donate, share and be the reason for our happiness 🙏❤️🫂🥹🍉😭🇵🇸💔😣

When the rest of the world looks at the united states right now, we see a government who sends billions to support genocide but cannot help their own people starving on the streets.

We see a police force who won't go in to save children from school shootings, but deploy at a rapid rate to arrest peaceful protestors using their right to free speech to protest a genocide

America, you are a war mongering snake eating your own tail. You will protect and support war criminals in another country but let your own people starve and die

To the students bravely protesting now, we see your strength. We see what we saw when students protested the Vietnam War. We have faith you will prevail

Those who were once oppressed under an Apartheid regime have stepped up to help those being oppressed under another one.

Meanwhile, the so-called "free" world is still trying to find ways to justify "standing with" and defending Israel's rogue racist Apartheid regime.

They should feel deep shame. They don't. But they all should.
