 Greetings Everyone,

I hope you get well soon Jabou Joh,


"One wonders when we will form our own organizations that will lobby with
one
> voice for each other's interests."

Let's hope the above statement  starts to take place sooner rather than
later. For African interest  needs to be properly represented, and African
people need to recognise the politricks which  is being used to fool people.

If we cast are minds back 500 years ago, Africa was trading with the whole
of Asia. Africans even stepped foot on Britain even before the white man
himself did. Yes a Egyptian vessel was found of the coast of Cornwall in
2001, and we know the Egyptian Empire was black. To fool us they took Egypt
out Africa. Why? To justify their bogus white supermacy, changing our
history, and changing geography. Today Africans are still penned into those
white man-made borders  that never existed when Africa was under African
rule. So what are the advantages of keeping them still today? Well of course
it benefits the West, for whatever linguistic phone you live in the people
of that country are influenced by their ex masters world-view. Our leaders
should remember that the reasons why they were elected into power is to
serve the interests of African people. Their loyalty should be to serve
African interest, and let the west take care of their own interests.

Peace

Sophia Ba.
