Behold the majestic pyramid of Giza. The British would no doubt have stolen this African treasure too if it hadn’t been too heavy! Thank the Lord!
They colonised Egypt at the end of the 19th century. The chief aim was to gain control of the Suez Canal and secure trade routes to India. But being able to exploit Egypt’s vast resources and manpower was an added bonus.
Although their presence met with deep resentment and resistance, they occupied the country for 7 decades. The last British troops were pulled out in 1956.

REVOLUTIONARY PAN-AFRICANISM
Africans will never truly overcome oppression and their colonial past if they don’t also overthrow the system that bred these - namely, capitalism and imperialism. That’s what radical Pan-Africanist Affiong L. Affiong argues in this passionate speech. Being against racism is not enough, we need revolution!

SUDAN’S SUBORDINATE REFUGEES
The British government is accused of double standards over the help offered to Ukrainian and Sudanese refugees. While thousands of Ukrainians receive asylum in the UK, the same level of support is not shown to those fleeing the Sudan conflict. Protesters vented their anger on the streets of the UK, with some pointing to institutional racism.

IGBOS ABANDONED IN SUDAN?
Tribal discrimination is the last thing you need when fleeing a war zone. Nigeria organised evacuation buses for its citizens trapped in Sudan - but not everyone’s being allowed on. A viral video shows university students from Nigeria’s Igbo community alleging they were left behind, to make room on the buses for non-Igbo Nigerians. In it, they appeal for help directly to the Igbo owner of an airline that’s put on flights from Egypt to Nigeria for citizens evacuated from Sudan.

COMOROS MAYORS JOIN ANTI-FRANCE PROTESTS
There’s growing resistance to France’s radical plan expelling migrants from a contested African island. Mayors on the Comoros archipelago have joined protests against the deportation of so-called undocumented foreigners from Mayotte. It’s governed by France despite being almost 8000 KM away and is claimed by neighbouring Comoros which demands the scheme is abandoned. After all, shouldn't all African people from this chain of islands be treated as one?

SUDAN VS UKRAINE
The Sudan conflict once again highlights a racial approach to humanitarian efforts. Compared to how Ukrainian refugees were treated at the onset of their conflict, there's a cold indifference to Sudan. Europe offers jobs and cash to those from Ukraine and gave $100-billion in aid to Kiev in just a year. In stark contrast, no similar schemes have been offered to the Sudanese. Meanwhile, cases are rife of stranded Africans unable to access their passports locked in Western embassies in Sudan.

CASSINGA MASSACRE
Was it a massacre of civilians or a legitimate military target? Over 600 people died when Apartheid South Africa bombed Angola’s Cassinga and sent in paratroopers. It claimed to be taking out rebels fighting in neighbouring Namibia’s war of independence. But evidence suggests the victims were mostly refugees - women and children fleeing the fighting. Here’s a reminder of what’s known.

DID INDIANS DO INDEPENDENCE BETTER?
Did Indians deal with their colonial past better than Africans? Thau-Thau Haramanuba, the leader of South Africa’s Rastafari United Front, seems to think so. He claims we’re still stuck trying to conform to British ideals and culture, whereas the Indians just kept what served them - the technology. Is he right? Do we, for example, obsess too much about ‘perfect’ spoken English as a marker of intelligence?
