Yes but, what's the one thing we're not talking about?

Yes not war in Afrika because Border Made by western imperialism. .😂😂😂 This video just misinformation

many nobles from kingdoms in Africa and Asia were killed by invaders. then replaced by corrupt pro-western people. who collaborated with the British only for money. when the country became independent. All power ends with the former colonial government. And corruption and colonialism 2.0 continue. with foreign companies shamelessly bribing African governments with money and weapons. and even if foreign companies were caught bribing the government they could easily get out without being killed because they were protected by the French military. why French citizens don't deserve punishment in African countries . even though he gave bribes and helped dictators

Please refrain from using God's name in vain.

She's wrong about the trade routes tho. It was called the trans-saharan trade (between northern Africa and and a small portion of west sub-saharan africa) which the Arabs/muslims dominated. The trade mostly involved s|aves, gold, ivory and salt. The sub-saharan africans didn't have much to do with it.

Thank you for sharing

good to hear there are progress and good examples.... our western socialist government workers want to see that corruption and all that, coz it gives them power. Is businessperson having time to travel all over africa or other continents? I doubt so, but these people do trips and keep in mind, they are not regular office clerks but higher bosses/supervisors/managers. So keep cautious with them. Democracy and making things better is messy and chaotic and takes time but I see AU and people like you slowly make things better. Unfortunately these western people also spread socialism and gospel of free money to slave them again. They dont want anyone to work in europe either.

India kept the European mechanisms of government, law, etc... in place whilst it buried its head in the sand economically in the 60s-80s. When the cold war ended, they were a little slow to get going, but pretty meteoric since.

the corruption is fomented and encouraged by your colonisers

@@Ankh-he3wi I know

Yeah that is Marxism in action.

Sounds like Germany.. albeit it has now improved a little.

What country is that?

Well, a Russian got a black African woman to remove European guilt over colonialism and genocide. The Germans are behind Namibian and Rwandan genocides. Germany colonized Rwanda in the late 1800s, they implemented a policy of indirect rule, governing through the Tutsi elites and treating them as superior to the Hutu. This increased tensions between the groups. When Belgium took control after WW1, they introduced a system of identity cards classifying all Rwandans as Hutu, Tutsi, or Twa. They favored the Tutsi for leadership roles, deepening the divide. They also introduced the Hamitic hypothesis (the racist theory that the Tutsi had European-like features and were naturally superior) After independence in 1962, the Hutu took power and the Tutsi were marginalized and victimized, culminating in the Rwandan genocide in 1994 Let's not forget Belgium and King Leopold's genocide of 10m in Congo, or the French genocide of Algerians (half a million killed by the French)

I don't however, agree that colonialism has nothing to do with the problems of present-day Africa. That is just plain stupid. Miss Wade. Colonialism laid the foundation of inequality and instability and neo-colonialism continues to do the job of colonialism/imperialism via the back door. She acknowledges that Africa was raped tortured and traumatized but then says all Africa needs to do is get over itself and be more entrepreneurial. Really Miss Wade. That simple Huh! Yes, it is true, Africa does need to get over it, but that's much easier said than done. Who just gets over centuries of mass trauma just like that. Africa's Metal Health (not to mention its languages, folkways, and mores) have been decimated making the simple solution that Miss Wade is talking about anything but straightforward. Then she talks about being dissolution with the Left as though the Right has gotten it all figured out (it's so naive). Africa' is not a first-world Western democracy it is still a third-world Western colony, whose problems therefore cannot be so easily resolved simply by applying first-world Western-style political solutions. Certainly not by entrepreneurial ship alone. The deep dark politics will always see to that. Contrary to popular belief, the democratic process has never resolved third-world problems, only first-world ones. In every instance where poor nations have managed to overcome their circumstance, there always is (or was) some form of autocratic governance in play to implement and oversee radical transformation processes through to completion (and only then faze in democracy). Democracies change government every four years rendering the democratic process not fit for purpose. It simply is not robust enough to lift you up from the bottom it is only effective at keeping you on top. Third-world Democracies are too easily manipulated by first-world democracies, that is why first-world democracies are so hostile to third-world dictators when they do not have them in their pockets. These wise intelligent leaders (when sufficiently free of Western interference) have a tendency to get the sort of jobs done that Western-backed leaders only ever play lip service to. But Miss Wade is not entirely clueless, in fact, she is telling many truths and actually makes a great deal of sense (amidst all the nonsense). it's just unfortunate that she oversimplifies everything (whilst trying to sell her book) and fails to grasp the overall complexities that make it so much more difficult for Africa to rise.

How is Milei doing? Is the bureaucracy fighting him?

@@JeffMTX it is fighting him. The current plan is to stop inflation (because he can do that without the congress) and make that proof that Milei's ideas can work. Every single one of his laws have been rejected, but that sort of plays in his favor, it is proof that the political caste is against him (that discourse was what helped him get into power) Since his arrival as president, monthly inflation has been falling around 5 points each month. 1st month it as 25%, second month 20 something, now it is lower than 15, and it is expected to be gone in a couple of months. It has been hard both for him and for the people, the many macroeconomic irregularities left by the previous government are not easy to fix, but everything is going according to plan and his popularity has risen. Argentina will definitely get better in a year, but once Milei has a Majority in congress, it will get A LOT better in just a few years. Congress elections are next year, it seems like he will win then.

I read a book called Secondhand Time. It is a collection of letters by people living in Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union. It was interesting. Thoughts about the before and after were varied. Some looked optimistically about what they could now do without being under a boot. Others, were “institutionalized” like Shawshank Redemption-going from a system that was understood to one that was not. Eg: Yes, I had to wait in line to get bread and they were usually out before I got there, but before I knew I had to go stand in that line. Now, how do I get bread? Which line do I stand in? If corruption is what you know, free market entrepreneurial systems can seem very foreign and even scary insomuch as the unknown can be scary. And yes, it is difficult to get people in power to change a system that directly benefits the powerful.

People also do not realise that many African countries have a political system that is not conducive to incentives irregardless of socialist or capitalist tendencies. There is a reason why Botswana works, and it is not the absence of socialism.

Ethiopia is considered by some scholars to never have been colonized either.

Keep in mind that in the 70s /80s Ethiopia was involved in a war with Somalia, a civil war with Eritrea and Tigre and a revolution. I lived and worked in Ethiopia from 76 to 83. I also lived and worked in Cambodia from 1998 to 2018. It can be argued Cambodia has suffered as much as any country in Sub Saharan Africa. Cambodia is developing well by comparison.

U speak as if u know about Hong Kong but u cab scare spell the word. HK under British rule was a colonial possession of territory that did not belong to them. The British could not pay for their tea and trinkets and introduced opium as a means of settlement. How disgusting. The Chinese authorities rebelled against this and burnt several shipments of opium but were brutally crushed militarily. So do some research before you come up with some lazy straight jacket beliefs that you have been fed by the corporate controlled Western press. During the 99 year occupation of HK, British institutions of learning brainwashed the youth into believing that they deserve a democracy and human rights. How ironic that a colonial power that enslaved most of Africa and put its indigenous populations who refused to work in hideous concentration camps and enriched themselves on the misery of others should now preach democracy and human rights to others. Get your head out of the sand and make an attempt to understand real issues instead of the ignorant and superficial views you express on social media.

And with Africa being so poor and uneducated it's easy for people at the top to take advantage. The only place socialism actually worked out really well was Germany in the 1930s.

This increased tensions between the groups. When Belgium took control after WW1, they introduced a system of identity cards classifying all Rwandans as Hutu, Tutsi, or Twa. They favored the Tutsi for leadership roles, deepening the divide. They also introduced the Hamitic hypothesis (the racist theory that the Tutsi had European-like features and were naturally superior) After independence in 1962, the Hutu took power and the Tutsi were marginalized and victimized, culminating in the Rwandan genocide in 1994 Let's not forget Belgium and King Leopold's genocide of 10m in Congo, or the French genocide of Algerians (half a million killed by the French)

They foment conflict to control access to mines and keep pesky local governments occupied with local militias and constant violence (and the overwhelming majority of small arms comes from The West, the USA being the #1 small arms exporter on the planet)

And yet Australia, New Zealand, Canada, India, and the USA were all once colonies and are now functioning democracies. Nor was Africa only colonised by the British. And Kenya, which was a British colony does seem to function better than most African countries, even having a tourism industry.

In Africa Chickens have more value then human life

Not true for all African countries.

What you do in Ghana at least is start the business first then worry about registering with the government much later.

remind you of anywhere closer to home?

There is a good argument that Africa before and after the colonial period was more violent and more -for the average person - impoverished. The pre-colonial African empires became powerful by violent conquest and the “trade routes” were primarily for trading slaves. European slave-traders came to Africa because they could easily and cheaply buy slaves from African slavers…… in a slave-trade that existed before most European nations were more than collections of tribes, themselves. The average African was not wealthy… in those empires all the wealth went to the elites. It was the europeans who provided the security and technology to make use of natural resources that benefit no-one without these things.

Also colonization never ended in Africa, 90% of African leaders are puppets of the west....

With this in mind, anyone could assume you think Black ppl have victim mindset without acknowledging their loss in most part of history and the world in which ur ppl have not faced by comparison, again ofc victimhood should not be be praised nor be kept for our future development but u sound very ignorant to say the least when not adding few details to be precise on ur perspective.

Anyone who says "victim complex" is an idiot. Blacks have a victim complex for being the recipients of centuries of oppression and given no recompense, but maga don't for thinking Jews are the reason their chosen leaders keep off shoring their jobs and raising their taxes.

She doesn't understand finance at all and it's really painful listening to her speak about policy.

There is a corruption in Africa; different governments all over in Africa are responsible for situation Africa is in today. That is true. The question is how those leaders got into the power in Africa? What happened to African nationalists and honest leaders who took over the power after independence? Take a case of Congo. Lumumba was killed by imperialists and replaced by Mobutu, and we know what happened to Congo under Mobutu. When we blame African leaders, are we really blaming African leaders like Lumumba or we are blaming imperialists puppets?

Laziness is a big problem.

​@@PhanTasmGoriAgenetics may be a contributing factor but it's only part of the big picture. Indigenous Australians have the same Denisovan and Neanderthal admixture as Eastern Asia but suffer similar issues as Sub-Saharan Africa. Genetics, diet, culture, climate and long periods (tens of thousands of years) of geological isolation have all contributed to variations in the ability of disparate population groups to thrive in the 21'st Century.

@Veracity you don't understand what your people have done and still doing to my people, let me explain something to clueless being like you, colonialism is the reason why africa is poor, africa is not poor in natural resources, yet africa is in debt, I understand the narrative u yts are trying to push to the public, for your information 90% of the violence is funded by you europeans and Asians, especially the arabs. You don't know african ancient history that's why you said we harm each other, we never waged a hot or cold war on each other, it's your people culture to wage war on each other, we africans are peace loving people, u yts are m0nster., we will continue pointing fingers, if that would make our oppression being seen by others. Show me one western country that's corruption free, there's absolutely none that's not corrupt, USA is the most corrupt country in the world, yet is one of the most developed country in the world. USA literally used my people as slaves to work on their plantations and industries for 200 years, USA continues exploiting african natural resources nonstop, all the nation in the world ruled by white man is looting african resources nonstop since we got independence.

@veracity africa is underdeveloped because of economic oppression. Africa is poor cuz of violence funded by u europeans, and the looting of natural resources by multinational corporations, majority of the corporations are owned by u europeans, I can say 80% of african resources is controlled by u europeans, when we got independence, you europeans put alot of first african presidents on that sit as a puppets, this people can be defined as a descendant of slave agents, and beneficiaries, the leaders that was trying to used the natural resources for the betterment of his people, they get killed or they get couped, how come that we africans experience coups and u yts don't, the reason is those b@stards are trained during the colonialism, Yr people taught them to kill any african that doesn't succumb to them, u taught them not to protect their people but to abuse them, Yr people taught them not to value their brothers and sisters lives, you taught them not to be patriot. Likewise the police, you peoppe taught the police the same thing, u europeans are behind the oppression, suppression, and the killings of africans all over the continent. You people are the reason why we are poor cuz you keep looting our human resources and natural resources since millennium ago.

Not all of us. Some of us realise.

Well, a Russian got a black African woman to remove European guilt over colonialism and genocide. The Germans are behind Namibian and Rwandan genocides. Germany colonized Rwanda in the late 1800s, they implemented a policy of indirect rule, governing through the Tutsi elites and treating them as superior to the Hutu. This increased tensions between the groups. When Belgium took control after WW1, they introduced a system of identity cards classifying all Rwandans as Hutu, Tutsi, or Twa. They favored the Tutsi for leadership roles, deepening the divide. They also introduced the Hamitic hypothesis (the racist theory that the Tutsi had European-like features and were naturally superior) After independence in 1962, the Hutu took power and the Tutsi were marginalized and victimized, culminating in the Rwandan genocide in 1994 Let's not forget Belgium and King Leopold's genocide of 10m in Congo, or the French genocide of Algerians (half a million killed by the French)

thank you

Look price of cash crops grown in Africa at international market

They love her take because it absolves their countries of what colonisation did and what neo-colonialism is still doing to African countries. For instance we are currently having protests in Kenya to reject a finance bill that is being pushed down our government's throat by IMF. It's a bigger issue than she makes it

You are missing her point. Yes colonialism affected Africa and no sane person can deny that - she’s saying crying over it forever won’t move us forward though! By the way Africa was not the only one colonised, many other nations around that world were invaded and colonised but after gaining independence they rebuilt and reinvented themselves- Africa after almost almost century is stil bathing and soaking in tears and blaming the colonialists for her misfortunes

@@thedigitalawakening887 Other countries were colonised but how many are still dealing with neo-colonialism, unfair international trade policies, IMF and World Bank debt trap and harsh austerity measures, foreign interference.. She has singled out one major issue and made it the ONLY issue, that's the problem.

there's no economy, it was all slave trading, with the only exception of northen africa

​@@lilianmaina4248 all of them, the economy is a jungle where you have to compete, there's no charity. China doesnt beg for money, they do buisness. But the reality is that it is extremly hard to compete against asians and western economies, thats it. Btw, trades contract and every other contracts are signed by both sides nobody "force" you to sign a contract. What you are saying is that some country in africa cannot stand up by themselves where every other colinized nations on earth where able despite the modern economic jungle. The reality is that african country and states themselves are artificial, not organic, nobody in thoses contry as a sense of common goods or common interets; in most of thoses country the population are killing each other for tribalist/ethnic differences while being citizen of the same country, how do you build a country with such a mentality ? Also every country are in debt, and most of african debt often get erased i.e the lender end up offering them the money. The reality is that debt is healthy when corretly used, but again it take good governance and leadership.

... no...

@@qwerte6948 yes. france still owns colonies in africa till this day

France is the MOST dependent. EVERY country is dependent on Africa to some extent, but their populations' racism & mental illness makes them blind to nearly all reality.

WHITE PEOPEL ARE TRYING WAY TO HARD. YOU GOT A BLACK WOMAN ON YOUR SHOW? ISN'T THAT WOKE??????? BRICS IS IN AFRICA NOW. YOU LOST.

Seeing people as delusionaly stupid as yourself really makes me lose hope in humanity

​Oh Please!.. not another person presenting a Straw Man argument. You @SepticFuddy are the one who mentioned slavery I did not. I personally would not even use slavery (as factual as it may be), to make my case. It's too elementary, which is probably why people like yourself use it to make your case. The fact that you even think I'm making a point about slavery just shows that you've completely missed the point altogether. What I take issue with is Miss Wade trying to PLAY DOWN the devastating role colonialism played and still plays on the African continent. Miss Wade seems to be oblivious to the fact that Western governments have a vested interest in keeping Africa, still to this day the richest continent, in poverty. Just let that sink in for a second. The richest continent with the poorest most deprived people. In other words, the people who benefit most from African wealth do not live in Africa. THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT!!!!!! France is not the only Western country profiting by interfering in African affairs. Miss Wade clearly knows this but somehow she still can't quite connect the dots (figure out what it means in real terms). So she runs around shouting from the rooftops that Africa is filled with nothing but a bunch of dummies, which is sad because that clearly is not her intention, but nonetheless, that is the impression that most people are left with. Why do I say this?... ... because It's an easy conclusion to come to if you already have a low opinion of African people, their history, and their culture.​ Think about it: For every person who knows the truth, that black Africans built the Sphinx and the pyramids etc, there are a hundred people who still believe the centuries of colonial whitewashing, that black Africa has never achieved anything of any historical significance. If you believe that then why wouldn't you believe that Black Africa is essentially full of dumb or simple-minded Black people? If nothing else that would at least explain how a continent can be so rich yet so poor. In short (Miss Wade), when the Western world wants (because it has become dependent upon) what you have got (and already has cheap and easy access to it), being more business-minded is only a small part of the problem you are going to have to solve if you want to give yourself any sort of chance of getting to grips with the real issue.

Most of it is the Soviet Union's fault. It is demonic what was done to them. They used colonialism as an excuse to set up socialist dictatorships, exactly the same thing they accuse the CIA of doing. Communism is evil.

Complex continent hence complex solution.

Africa are francophone countries when they shouldn't be look at the borders of africa, it's all wrong, artificially created. The United States and other European countries have a financial hole over that continent.. And not to mention Germany still owns agricultural land and territory in namibia, France still owns territory in their old francophone countries..

When you put a bunch of opposing tribes in a country and tell them to "work together" spells disaster. Not to include the political system where tribes are voting for themselves rather than ideals, makes sense the tribe with larger population always wins the elections and provides benefits to boost their own community and find ways to oppress others.

The bell curve.

Also Sooo vile.

Without Asia and Africa Europeans will be still living like Vandals and barabs...

Absolutely. Better health care and a myriad of new health issues ( asbestosis, increased diabetes and other diet related illnesses). Westernisation also brought more devastating and imaginative ways to end life, both human and non human and also quicker methods of depleting the world’s resources. I also wonder if it was possible to spread all the benefits of Colonisation without the cruelty and dehumanising (and in some cases, genocide) of local populations ….🤔

@@T.C556 they always think the world wouldn't develop without Europeans.. Europeans stole a lot of their knowlegde and inventions from other nations and races. In Africa we had already everything we had our own medicines, laws, housing, masters, architecture, boats south Africans we were trading with the Chinese and Indians way before the Portugese came to Africa..And also the Stronger empires in Africa would have take over the smaller tribes and villages by now. The only thing Europeans did is mess up Africa and altered their development, Several empires of Africa were in war for more than 500 years with Europeans before they were defeated. also years of trans Atlantic slavery took place a lot of young Africans were shipped overseas, alot of the cities were destroyed and than years colonization took place and now we're still in neo colonization.. And they are Shocked why Africans are underdeveloped. Ethiopia was never colonized but they are one of the biggest country in Africa with better economy and infrastructure than other countries who were colonized, they have the biggest aircompany...

They have everything; people, resources, land and ecology ! Just get it all together for everyone's benefit.

Absolutely. It can be done
