The presence of ancient, medieval and modern presence of Black Africans in the Sahara and the Sahel regions is well documented and indisputable. Among these countries, a significant portion of the population of southern Morocco, northern Mauritania, Saharan parts of Libya, Algeria and Egypt passes as Black. Now, the inherently and naturally racist Western world has two methods to cope with Black brilliance. If there are any kind of indication that the civilization is not built by Blacks but caucasians, they will keep denying. That is what is happening in the case of ancient Egypt (they letting their caucasian brothers claim the civilization). However, if the civilization is undeniably built by Blacks, they will purposely ignore it. In this way, the Black presence in North Africa is purposefully ignored and the inherently racist western world clings to fake Saharan divide. Sometimes, it even denies it. They want to keep away Blacks from anything they value or anything that they co...

It remains the world’s ONLY successful major slave rebellion. Making it all the more famous an event. Even Spartacus failed nearly 1900 years earlier, and he is still far more famous for it for some reason. Général François-Dominique Toussaint Louverture should be famous. He was a great man. If he was a hero somewhere other than Haiti, he might be even more famous. As it stands, you have to be a pretty big history nerd to know of him and his deeds at all…..: Addendum: BUT, if you dig deep into the conflict, it is filled with atrocities and barbarity on ALL sides, with genocide, torture and massacres perpetrated by and against the blacks, mulattoes and whites who fought variously against one another from the beginning to the end. It is one reason why not celebrating it is the appropriate choice. The second reason to not celebrate it is what the Haitians have done with their freedom in the 200+ years since freedom. Bad choice after bad choice in how it dealt with the Western...

When God created humanity, he bestowed upon us the blessing of creation- a capability observed in no other creature. We are born to create. We turned the tree to wood and make fire. We turned the wood into houses. Chairs, tables, furnitures….. The whole economic process is characterized by utilizing the power of creation to improve material life. The issues of distributing wealth, manipulating people's desires, the usage of money as a method of exchange all derive from the above activity. Africa is not blessed by her diamonds- she is cursed by them. Because only few in any society use their creative gift properly, most spend their lives chasing things that are readily available to them. Honey attracts lots of bees. A fight would break out among men, and the strongest takes the reward. Since Africans never had adequate time in experimenting self-governance under a modern society, there are no rules regulating those fights. When elephants fight, it is the grass which is tram...

You know, it would help us all enormously if everyone reviewed Europe, The Americas and Asia's history before asking questions about Africa. Yugoslavia was a creation of the First World War, where the elites of Europe decided to create a country out of 4 different "tribes" who were all Slav's and white. This country lasted for 70 years and then imploded. Czechoslovakia has a similar history - that one lasted for 20 years and then again for 50 years and then became 2 countries. At least no-one died. Most of Africa has not been independent for 50 years!! We need to recover from problem that was colonialism and we need to recover from the problems created by our artificial borders. When white folks talk about the "good stuff" colonialism brought it is always about roads/railways/infrastructure and so forth. What is not mentioned or thought about is how African minds were also colonised. To be truly free we need to liberate our minds (paraphrasing Steve Bik...

Somaliland is a self-declared state in the Horn of Africa. It has its own government, currency, and military. It has also held several democratic elections. However, Somaliland is not recognized as an independent country by any other country in the world. There are several reasons why Somaliland has not been recognized as an independent country. One reason is that it is located in a region that is plagued by conflict. Somalia, the country that Somaliland broke away from, has been in a state of civil war for decades. Somaliland has been relatively peaceful, but it is still seen as a risky investment by many countries. Another reason why Somaliland has not been recognized as an independent country is that it is not clear what its borders would be. Somaliland claims to include all of the territory that was part of the British Somaliland Protectorate, which was established in 1884. However, some of this territory is now controlled by Somalia. Despite not being recognized as an in...

If you're referring to the slaves who were sent to the Americas, the answer is simple: West Africa and Western Central Africa are relatively closer to the Americas as compared to where the East Africa is - so it purely has to do with geographical locations. But if you're referring to the African slaves as a whole, there were also North and East African slave trades, not ONLY the Atlantic slavery trade from West Africa and Western Central Africa! It's sad to learn that when people talk about the African slave trade, they only talk about the Atlantic slave trade (which actually constituted about 55% only of the whole African slave trade). In addition to it, there was North African slave trade (Arab slave trade) and East African slave trade (Arab and Portuguese slave trades). The East African slave trade used almost all the seas and oceans of the world and even a river, to transport slaves – the Nile River (in vessels of papyrus), Indian Ocean, Red Sea, Arabian Sea, Pers...
