Il partenariato tra l'esercito francese e l'opposizione in Costa d'Avorio che ha portato alla rimozione di Laurent Gbagbo dal potere durante i conflitti civili post-elettorali è stato uno sforzo per ripristinare la democrazia o l'ultimo tassello di un piano per rimuovere una minaccia al famigerato "Patto coloniale" che la Francia ha imposto alle sue colonie in Africa prima di concedere loro l'indipendenza negli anni '60? La rimozione di Laurent Gbagbo e l'ascesa al potere di Alassane Ouattara fu uno sforzo per mantenere l'anacronistico sistema autocratico imposto dalla Francia in Costa ...

Chando stabilisce brillantemente i fili che hanno reso il giovane Thomas Sankara uno dei leader iconici dell'Africa nel ventesimo secolo, e i cambiamenti rivoluzionari che ha apportato al Burkina Faso, che ha trasformato il paese nel più autosufficiente entità geopolitica nell'Africa sub-Sahariana.

Il Camerun è l'unico paese in Africa in cui coloro che hanno fatto campagna, combattuto e sono morti per la libertà e l'indipendenza del paese dal dominio coloniale non sono mai arrivati al potere, dove le idee e gli ideali di nazionalisti dell'unione vengono ancora soppressi dal sistema impopolare che il padrone coloniale ha messo in atto nel paese dopo aver sconfitto questi civico-nazionalisti in una guerra sanguinosa variamente descritta come la guerra genocida della Francia in Africa. Questo sistema vincolante imposto dalla Francia mantiene il paese intrappolato nella povertà, nella ...

In 1884, Otto von Bismarck, the German chancellor, brought the plenipotentiaries of all major powers of Europe together, to deal with Africa's colonization in such a manner as to avoid provocation of war. This event—known as the Berlin Conference of 1884-1885—galvanized a phenomenon that came to be known as the Scramble for Africa.

*Rated 5 Stars by Reader's Favorite* A decision to go wild for Christmas. An attempt to forget the pain. Finding out that her dead husband had a mistress, drove home the fact that they were not the happy couple Savannah a/k/a Souvenir thought they were.

È come se incarna veramente l'esistenza infestata dell'Africa. Quando parlano di dittatori, i giganti dei media sembrano non menzionare il capo di stato che serve da più tempo che non è un monarca --- Paul Biya del Camerun --- come se ci fosse qualcosa da nascondere o come se ci fosse qualcosa di vergognoso nella storia di Biya e il sistema anacronistico sostenuto dalla Francia e dai suoi ...
