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...

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 ...

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...

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 ...

Countries, continents, and the world at large experience jolts that move them away from their evolutionary if not reformatory paths, resulting in seismic changes that transform them fundamentally. Assassinations are one of the potent catalysts for these changes as they lead to wars, political changes, and even economic transformations. 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...

Cette première partie du récit des hégémons qui ont façonné le monde occidental est une histoire millénaire impliquant la Rome antique et la nature de son monde qui impliquait les empires contre lesquels elle s'est battue, les terres et les peuples qu'elle a conquis, les invasions « barbares » qu'elle a vaincues et n'a pas réussi à arrêter, et l'influence qu'elle a exercée en Europe. L'Afrique et le Moyen-Orient, ce qui en fait la cible de puissants non-Romains déterminés à le contrôler tout en chérissant sa civilisation, les attributs positifs qui constituent le noyau du ...

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 ...

There is some kind of a sweet innocence in being the real thing, the true inheritor of a legacy, the upholder of the identity others strive to be attached to. In this account, we see two narratives that oppose one another, but that ought to complement each other. How do a people so divided by history embrace their common heritage or denominator as the children of Kievan Rus, but who later became known as the frontier people (Ukrainians)? "The Real Ukrainians" is the first part of an account that would take us hand-in-hand through our journey that would make us enlightened regarding the ...

Aucun continent n'a connu la moitié des assassinats politiques, des coups d'état, des guerres internes et externes, des troubles civils et des bouleversements économiques depuis la seconde moitié du XXe siècle comme l'Afrique. Pourtant, aucun expert sérieux ne dirait que la plupart de ces échecs n'ont pas les mains de forces étrangères qui cherchent à protéger leurs «soi-disant intérêts» sur le continent ou qui veulent en acquérir de nouveaux. C'est vrai que ces forces extérieures aient à peu près réussi avec l'aide des Africains avec la mauvaise disposition du mal ou ...

Nessun continente ha vissuto la metà degli omicidi politici, colpi di stato, guerre interne ed esterne, disordini civili e sconvolgimenti economici dalla seconda metà del XX secolo che l'Africa è stata sottoposta. Tuttavia, quasi nessun esperto serio direbbe che le mani di forze straniere che sono fuori per assicurarsi i loro "cosiddetti interessi" nel continente o che vogliono guadagnarne di nuovi, non erano nella maggior parte di questi contrattempi. Che queste forze esterne abbiano avuto all'incirca successo con l'aiuto degli africani con la disposizione malvagia o gli africani che ...
