King Leopold II is the most evil man in human history.

They killed him shortly after he said this.

These men were the Senegalese Tirailleurs—African soldiers recruited from across France's West African colonies, including present-day Senegal, Mali, Guinea, Burkina Faso, and Niger. When Nazi Germany invaded France in 1940, they fought and died defending a country that was not their own. Thousands served on the front lines, facing the same artillery, machine guns, and tanks as their white comrades. Many were captured by the Nazis and endured years of imprisonment under brutal conditions. But for many survivors, the greatest betrayal came not from Germany, but from the very nation they had fought to defend — France ! After the war, African veterans returned expecting the pay, pensions, and respect promised to them for their service. Instead, they encountered discrimination, delayed wages, and unequal treatment. On 1 December 1944, a group of demobilized Tirailleurs at the Thiaroye military camp near Dakar protested over unpaid salaries and benefits. French colonial forces opened fire on them, killing 500 veterans. Historians are convinced that the true death toll was likely much higher than this. They fought for France against fascism, survived Nazi captivity, and came home only to be met with bullets from the French colonial state. It did not end there. In 1945, 34 of the Senegalese veterans, who were thought to be the instigators of the protest, were tried and given sentences of upto ten years. They were later pardoned as French President Vincent Auriol visited Senegal in March 1947, but they were not exonerated, and their widows were never awarded the veteran pensions usually granted to widows of fallen soldiers. The Thiaroye massacre is not taught in schools in France, and a Senegalese film about the massacre released in 1988, Camp de Thiaroye, was both banned in France and censored in Senegal.

Malcolm X was not wrong to say Patrice Lumumba was the greatest African to walk on Earth.

Kofi Annan played a decisive role in Kenya’s darkest political crisis after the 2007–2008 post-election violence. As chief mediator under the African Union Panel of Eminent African Personalities, he brought together rival factions ( Mwai Kibaki’s government and Raila Odinga’s opposition ) when the country was on the brink of civil breakdown. Through intense negotiations in Nairobi, he helped broker the National Accord and Reconciliation Act, which ended the violence, created a coalition government, and established long-term reforms including constitutional review, justice mechanisms, and electoral reform processes. His intervention didn’t just stop bloodshed, it reshaped Kenya’s political architecture and proved African-led mediation can resolve African crises without external imposition.

In 1975, Muammar Gaddafi published The Green Book, a slim volume that became the ideological foundation of Libya's political system. It was presented as an alternative to both Western capitalism and Soviet communism. It was a "Third Universal Theory" Gaddafi argued that representative democracy was a fraud. According to The Green Book, parliaments, political parties, and elections merely transferred power from the people to elites. He famously claimed: "Representation is fraud." In his view, citizens should govern directly. His proposed solution was a system of Basic People's Congresses and People's Committees, where ordinary citizens would supposedly make decisions without intermediaries. Libya officially called itself the Jamahiriya, which translates to "the state of the masses." The book fiercely attacks political parties, describing them as instruments of dictatorship because they allow a minority to rule in the name of the majority. Gaddafi believed parties inevitably divide society and create permanent political classes. On economics, Gaddafi rejected both wage labor and private monopolies. He argued that workers should collectively own and manage the enterprises in which they work. The Green Book also rejected landlordism. Gaddafi insisted that "the house belongs to the one who lives in it," arguing that owning property merely to rent it out allowed one person to exploit another's need for shelter. On agriculture, he declared: "Land belongs to no one." Individuals had the right to use land and benefit from it, but not to monopolize or speculate on it. The book envisioned a society where productive resources were held and used collectively. Beyond politics and economics, The Green Book ventured into social theory. It discussed family, education, women, sports, and culture. Gaddafi defended traditional family structures while also arguing that women should participate fully in public life, though often within roles he saw as "natural." Education, according to Gaddafi, should not be imposed from above. He criticized standardized schooling and argued that forcing a curriculum on students was a form of dictatorship. He also opposed the commercialization of knowledge and culture. The text was translated into dozens of languages and distributed widely across Libya, Africa, and the Global South.
