Western imperialism and colonialism never ends.

Absolutely no humanitarian need for an American port. So why build one?

1) establish permanent military presence in Gaza

2) look good to get votes

3) access to gas reserves off coast of Gaza

4) advance ethnic cleansing. from Khaled Beydoun, 10/Mar/2024:

▪️During colonization, many structures have been destroyed by the colonizers in west Africa. That's why many people believe that Africans lived in the jungle and build nothing. We are never introduced to the amazing buildings that existed in those regions. Most people who invaded Africa did their best to erase and destroy all the greatness of West Africans. Most people ignore the fact that there were pyramids in West Africa too. All these events make it almost impossible to reconnect the dots with the Nile valley civilizations. But as soon as we start diving deep, everything becomes obvious but it takes a lot of research.

According to legend, Wagadu (ancient Ghana) weakened because a Moslem warrior, Amadou (Ahmed, another name of Mohammed, the Islamic founder) who killed the snake spirit Wagadu-Bida. The legend speaks volumes of the reason for Wagadu’s demise. The ancients were aware of the fact that those new cultures were erasing the true identity of the people and weakening them. And that's why today many Africans don't understand that they come from the exact same family.

Ps:To all African architects and builders, we need our cntinent to look African again.
