This thoughtful account of Patrice Lumumba provides an insight into why the swift elimination of the legend from the geopolitical developments involving his country plunged Congo into turmoil that it is yet to recover from. Janvier T. Chando highlights Congo's deep trauma as the private possession of King Leopold of Belgium, later as a Belgian colony, and afterward, as a so-called independent state that got disarrayed by a tug-of-war between the cold war rivals. That resulted in the inhuman dictatorship of pro-Western Mobutu Sese Seko, in wars during which millions of Congolese died, in the...

In this magical account, Janvier T. Chando brilliantly establishes the threads that made the young Thomas Sankara one of Africa’s iconic leaders in the twentieth century, and the revolutionary changes he brought to Burkina Faso that transformed it into Sub-Saharan Africa’s most self-reliant country.

No continent has experienced half the political assassinations, coup d’états, internal and external wars, civil unrest, and economic upheaval s since the second half of the twentieth century that Africa suffered. Yet, hardly any serious pundit would say that the hands of foreign forces that are out to secure their “so-called interests” in the continent or that want to gain new ones, were not in most of these setbacks. That these external forces have roughly been succeeding with the help of Africans with the evil disposition or Africans ignorant of their game plan is true. Opposed to ...

The independence fervor that gripped African colonies in the 1940s and 1950s was supposed to give birth to a "New Africa" that was expected to play a major role in advancing world civilization. What happened to make Africa fail so abysmally? By the end of the 1980s, a culture of political monolithism, dictatorship, corruption, coup d’état, mismanagement, underdevelopment and violence was dominating the political leadership of most African countries, fuelled by leaders with the evil disposition and their foreign puppeteers keeping them in power. The era of Mikhail Gorbachev’s Glasnost ...

Historians look at the period from the birth of Jesus Christ known as the Common Era (C.E) or “In the Year of Our Lord” (Anno Domini — A.D) to the Muslim conquest and consolidation of the Levant as the most tumultuous for the Hebrew peoples (Jews and Samaritans) of the Holy Land during the last two millennium until their plight was rivalled by the pogroms and Holocaust of the last century. How did the introduction of multiple monotheistic religions into the quagmire that was the multi-ethnic southern Levant shatter the idyllic illusions that the Roman Empire and later the Byzantine ...

In a Europe dominated by empires in the early years of the twentieth century, ethnic nationalism is challenging the status quo, threatening to throw the continent into an unfathomable turmoil. To hedge against this impending war, the different European leaders embarked on strengthening the alliances they had formed. Appearing the most vulnerable to this phenomenon is the multi-ethnic Austro-Hungarian Empire, which is situated at the heart of Europe and whose citizens come from Europe's three major language groups. But strangely enough, its emperor Franz Josef is loved by the majority of all...

Al mismo tiempo, el mundo observa con aparente impotencia cómo Ucrania se desgarra por las costuras. La mayoría de los ...

En un mundo contemporáneo plagado de conflictos y narrativas contradictorias diseñadas para sanear o demonizar a los países participantes, necesitamos una comprensión profunda pero concisa de la esencia de las partes beligerantes para poder emitir buenos juicios, condenar adecuadamente o llevar a cabo acciones justificadas. Es en esa línea que el escritor nos lleva en un vívido viaje a través de los siete siglos de historia polaca que definieron el carácter de la nación, forjaron su identidad y establecieron sus relaciones con sus vecinos de una manera que determina en gran medida ...
