The real pattern here is that long term conflicts in Africa tend to be driven by non sedentary groups. Nomads tend to be muslims for whatever reason. Sedentary muslims from Egypt to Tanzania aren’t waging any insurgencies.
It says a lot about a country when it’s only source of national pride comes from being superior to Haiti. A bar so low it’s nearly impossible to look bad. The DR is still an impoverished shithole I’m afraid.
Far poorer than the Developed black nations that surround it 🇧🇸🇧🇧🇹🇹
A “fair” comparison would be between the Dominican Republic & Haiti which both countries shares the same island
The DR🇩🇴 is a relatively prosperous Hispanic euro-Mixed country
&
Haiti🇭🇹 is a failed Black country
The DR is the 4th largest Economy in North America after 🇺🇸 🇨🇦&🇲🇽
This must’ve been what it was like to watch Pearl Harbour happen in real time.
An incredibly well orchestrated attack that came out of the blue. Not one that would do any crippling damage to the country attacked but one that would seal the fate of the attacking country.
BASED NIGER committing economic suicide to own the French.
Pan Africanists were cheering the Niger uranium export ban like it was oil they were restricting. Welp there goes 60% of exports.
@CatholicOrca
LARP the average Subsaharan African goes to church more than the most religious European.
Also Christianity only surpassed animism after colonialism
Does Haiti even have an elite or upper class left? A quarter of its population is in the diaspora, I can’t imagine the level of brain drain that they’ve experienced. Definitely isn’t the cause of the problem but exacerbates it to the point where reconstruction is impossible.
No ways an Ethiopian is coming after west Africa for having slavery. Slavery was so ingrained into Ethiopian society that it took fucking Mussolini to get rid off it.
Kenyans need to stop pretending that they’re not western aligned. You’ve been the west’s man in Africa since independence . Just drop the act and jump in the deep end already. Meet with Zelensky, donate 2 tanks or something lol.
@constans
Fantastic taste! They used to be super prominent from Juba all the way to wadi halfa and Suakin. Unfortunately I think the current war brought the community to an end with the last Greeks being airlifted out .
Rhodesia was the last attempt at a rebirth of philosophy. An aristocratic, militaristic, pastoral peoples installed themselves on the local farming population outside the confines of the industrial global NWO. Intelligent, cruel, astute, born to command, refined, courageous.
@Panindependent
They confuse friendly banter for actual bullying. I had a really fat friend growing up who we’d constantly poke fun at for his weight but he was genuinely one of us and one of our closest friends. Situations like that are what I think they’re mistakenly referring to.
Palestine is fucked, I know that the Palestinian Authority is incredibly pissed of by this little operation that Hamas has pulled off. There’s going to be near universal condemnation for this attack and Israel is going to have a free hand to do as it pleases for a long time.
Nomadic/ Pastoralist Christians like the South Sudanese are just as violent as Somalis.
In areas like Mali,Sinai and Dafur both sides are Muslim but the pastoralist muslims are the offending actors while the sedentary muslims are rather peaceful.
Holding your nation to low standards to convince its citizenry that’s its accomplished something great is a world wide trend. From the “most advanced country in Africa”🇿🇦, to the “most moral army in the Middle East”🇮🇱, to “richer than Haiti” 🇩🇴
None of these titles mean anything
@faustianweeb
Getting Sri Lanka vibes from this.
Big brain Gov. bans certain farming methods to become enlightened green earth loving nation.
Then faced massive food shortages by the next harvest lmao. I love how society refuses to learn from one another.
I Love this page so much because it personifies the Chinese national character so well, he feels a broad sense of superiority towards the west and westerners yet is always looking for their approval.

Most interesting man I ever met attempted something similar, albeit North to South instead of South to North.
Got kidnapped in Mali by Al Qaeda, held for 6 years and converted to Islam.
This is how much progress I’ve made in 4 days of running the length of africa. I’ve done over 215km so far.
The scale of this continent and challenge is incomprehensible.

Genuinely couldn’t tell you much about them, but they’re pretty small and I doubt they really fill a particular niche like the larger Anglo and Indian communities.
This is because “Africans” are neither a race or a people. Africa is just a Continent.We do not share a common culture, history or identity . And for that reason we do not share a common destiny or even common goals.
There is no Asian Union for the same reason.
African Union is basically the most useless organisation on planet earth, I don't even know why its there, no wonder it doesn't even have a seat on UN Security Council, failing to condemn and act on what's happening in Tunisia or Eastern DRC ...
Translate feature has got to be the best part of this app, spent an hour using it to read twitter debates between Maghrebis and Gulf Arabs on who looks the most Indian.
I don’t think I’ve seen many people mention how the massive support that Palestine attracts from the Muslim world is near absent in the suffering of other Muslims world wide.
It really just reinforces my views of Islam as an Arab centric religion.
White Zimbabweans were by no means an “entrepreneurial class”, they were a class of feudal esque land owners. Specialising in renting and wealth extraction.
The Entrepreneurial minorities in Southern Africa are Indians,Portuguese, Greek and Lebanese.
Ethiopian ambassadors were in Europe as early as the 13th century. The Swahili coast was well known for their shipping boats and shipping lanes. The Tuaregs had vast trade routes in central/western & Northern Africa. Chinese vases and glass beads were found in Zimbabwe.
Rhodesians had a contempt for mere-work and manual labor. They played rugby, football, raced cars, and hunted for sport and at the beginning maintained an an antagonistic attitude to the peasant, the serf, the soil tiller.
India’s reputation is in the mud, astronomical levels of bad press recently.
Hopefully recent events will inspire Indians address very real problems in their society but all I’ve seen so far from that side of twitter is cope. Very similar to Africans in that aspect.
a travelvlog couple trying to visit every country in the world decided to go to India as their latest destination.
11 hours ago they announced they were at the hospital because he had been beaten up and she had been gang raped by 7 men.
There aren't really any real countries in Africa.
Only a cataclysmic event like the Chinese Civil War would be able to sort out Africa's identity issues.
The pure Evil of Hemedti and his Baggara Arab clique never ceases to astound me. The worst part of this massacres is that it’s nothing notable, just a taste of the brutality that’s been going of decades.
Do not forget that most of this is being done in the name of Pan-Arabism.

@fanning_stan
I’ve always found it funny how all the pan African twitter types never research anything about their heroes. Kagame,M7, Afeworki and Zenawi all had big CIA backing. The current Niger junta leader was very friendly with AFRICOM and the Guinean one was a former legionnaire hahaha.
There’s something about Japan that just seems to break the minds of westerners on this app, right wing or left wing , male or female , young or old.
Any tweet whatsoever where the subject matter is Japan is an absolute brain cell killer and I’d advise you stay away from them.
The real Red pill is how arbitrary ALL numbers are in “African mass casualty events”.From the tens of thousands Ndebele that Mugabe supposedly killed to the million dead Tutsis in Rwanda.
This includes the Leopold’s supposed butchering of millions in the Congo.
White people in Geneva, Switzerland, who had never been to Africa, much less to Uganda, came up with an arbitrary number that Idi Amin killed 500,000 people. Read Mark Leopold's Idi Amin. There's no evidence that Idi Amin committed a fraction of the crimes his accused of.
The white farms are in the hands of Zimbabwean political and social elites, they are never giving those back lmao.
Your inability to see through the most basic propaganda is another clear example of your peoples illogical superiority complex.
One of my favourite genres of tweets is when western Euros find something that America and literally the rest of the world does then try to dunk on the US for it lmao.
Botswana as a sparsely populated, resource rich , and ethically homogeneous nation is a complete anomaly in Africa. Outside of say Namibia,Gabon and Libya there’s no countries that can follow their example.
The best country is to learn from is pre ‘94 Suid Africa.
I WILL [REDACTED] ALL OF YOU USELESS EATERS INCAPABLE OF DOING ANYTHING BUT DEMAND THE WEALTH OF WHITE PEOPLE WHILE INCAPABLE OF DOING ANYTHING FOR YOURSELVES.
>“Fun fact: the Ghana, Mali, Songhai and Kanem Empires were all ruled by non-Bantus”
> um ok? No one has ever disputed this lmao. I’d like you to find one example of a single individual in humanity’s 200,000 year history claiming they weren’t.
Absolutely nothing, the only reason UK Muslims go viral on this website is that we can all understand the language they’re speaking in. Migrant ghettos are a breeding ground for extremism though out all of Europe.
@NxlAnglo
More to do with its Paternalistic tribal aristocracy that was left intact due to the Brits ignoring the nation’s existence.
Diamonds and Homogeneity also helped.
@SwannMarcus89
So funny how she uses “our history” in relation to Dresden. Like the people of Dresden in that period(or ours) would identify with her on any level lmao
Male loneliness is completely self inflicted tbf. As Someone who has lived in 3 cities in the past 4 years I haven’t had any real difficulties meeting like minded people within the first couple weeks.
The real epidemic is men being to afraid to simply GO OUTSIDE.
A deposit of lithium recently discovered along the Nevada-Oregon border may be among the world’s largest according to a new scientific paper.
The deposit in the McDermitt Caldera could contain between 20 to 40 million metric tons of lithium.
Huge news for the EV industry.
