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 ...

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...

HEGEMON IN THE MAKING is the first part of the account of the hegemons that shaped the Western World, a thousand-year story per se about ancient Rome and the nature of its world. This involves the empires it fought against, the lands and people it conquered, the “Barbarian” invasions it defeated and failed to stop, and the influence it exerted in Europe, Africa, and East Asia (The Middle East), making it the target of other powerful forces determined to bring it down while cherishing its civilization, the positive attributes that constitute the bedrock of Western civilization today ...

Below is an insight into far-reaching political assassinations that are still haunting the world today: Franz Ferdinand: Gavrilo Princip, a Bosnian-Serb nationalist kills the Archduke and heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, thereby sparking off World War One...

The 2016 Presidential election will be remembered for ages not only for producing the biggest upset in the history of American politics, but also for the colorfulness of the primaries of both the Democratic and the Republican parties. When Bernie Sanders, the little-known Independent senator from small state Vermont boldly stated that he was a Democratic Socialist, and then began his race for the White House as a Democratic Party candidate, hardly anyone took him seriously. After all, he was up against the entire Democratic Party machinery and their favored candidate Hillary Clinton. Many ...

As a German colony from 1884-1916, Kamerun was called "The African Pearl" for its human and material potential, and for its strategic position in Africa. The defeat of Germany in the First World War and the partition of the colony into British Cameroons and French Cameroon did not diminish the area's outsize role in the political and economic evolution of the continent. So, the quest by the land's civic nationalists to reunite the British-controlled and French-controlled territories and make Cameroon independent, raised concerns among the colonialists in Britain and France, who planned to ...

In Augusto C. Sandino, we see the development of a legend who rose from humble beginnings and whose sense of justice guided him in his epic journey of resistance to the oppressive forces in his country.

Ce récit réfléchi de Patrice Lumumba trouve que l'élimination rapide de la légende des développements géopolitiques impliquant son pays a plongé le Congo dans une tourmente dont il n'a pas encore récupéré. Janvier T. Chando donne forme au traumatisme profond du Congo comme la possession privée du roi Léopold de Belgique, plus tard comme une colonie belge et ensuite comme un soi-disant État indépendant rendu misérable par un bras de fer entre les rivaux de la guerre froide. Cela a abouti à la dictature inhumaine du pro-occidental Mobutu Sese Seko, dans des guerres au cours ...

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.
