African elites aren’t simply weak or corrupt, they are structurally positioned to serve foreign interests because that’s where their class power came from. Their wealth depended on keeping the extraction system intact.

What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali. The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful. bbc.co.uk/sport/football/art…

China didn’t develop through free markets, it developed through strategic state intervention The government picked industries, directed credit, protected domestic firms, and managed trade. That’s the opposite of what the IMF prescribes for Africa.

Mental decolonization is not about rejecting all Western knowledge. It is about no longer using Western knowledge as the only lens through which you understand yourself and your world.

Fanon called them the pitful mimics. The African elite who memorized the master’s logic so perfectly they now enforce it on their own people.

Europeans during colonialism killed 26 million elephants in Africa, especially in Ivory Coast, just to make piano keys, but today they want to teach us animal conservation. Hypocrites.

Senegal is becoming a perfect case study of what happens when revolutionary politics finally meets the realities of governing. It’s easy to unite people against a system. It’s much harder to run the economy, negotiate debt, satisfy voters and still maintain the purity of the movement. A lot of liberation-style movements in Africa struggle once they transition from opposition to government because charisma and slogans eventually collide with budgets, IMF pressure and state institutions. That’s exactly what we’re watching in Senegal right now.

One of the symptoms of a society that is yet to heal from the trauma of oppression, is the need to gatekeep. Associations are set up not to build but to gatekeep, from tomato sellers union to academic associations.
