“🌍✨ Africa’s Rich Tapestry of Resources It Doesn’t Benefit From

Just like every other year, 2022 proved Africa is a treasure trove of natural resources that shape the world. From the shimmering allure of diamonds to the timeless appeal of gold, and the energy that drives the globe—oil—this continent’s contribution to global progress has been monumental. Aside from the above, you may not know platinum, cobalt and manganese also are found in abundance throughout the continent. Plus, Africa contains 65 per cent of the world’s arable land.

Unfortunately, many African countries are still tied to their former colonisers decades after gaining independence, and therefore, cannot enjoy the fruits beneath their feet.

As we begin to better understand how important Africa is to the rest of the world, we should also learn how powerful it can become once Africans liberate and unite it under one continent-wide socialist system.

During the height of the Cold War, Soviet support for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea—better known as North Korea—included funding, intelligence, arms, training, humanitarian aid and more. North Korea used this as a means to support the struggles of countries that were aligned with its ideology, Marxism-Leninism. However, North Korea’s own interpretation of this ideology is referred to as ‘Juche,’ which emphasises self-reliance. That is what the government of North Korea saw reflected in the anti-colonial liberation struggles across the African continent.
