He was killed by a joint conspiracy of the United States, France, and Belgium. These countries refused to imagine that a Black African nation with such mineral wealth could be independent of Western control.

They financed rebel and terrorist groups to destabilize him. The CIA, French intelligence services, and the Belgian army provided intelligence and armed support to these groups. Lumumba was captured by Belgian soldiers and Congolese rebels. He was tortured and executed. The colonizers harboured such hatred for him that they burned his body in acid and kept one of his teeth to prevent congolese to give him a proper burial. His family was able to get the tooth back to give him a burial. His death led to the rise to power of one of the bloodiest African dictators to have existed, Mobutu, who was supported by the West. Mobutu became considerably wealthy and allowed Western companies to exploit the Congo as they pleased.

Bessie Stringfield is an authentic legend in American motorcycling. Most notably, she became the first Black woman to ride a motorcycle (a Harley-Davidson) across the U.S. in 1930 when she was just 19 years old. Stringfield also worked as a World War II Army dispatch rider and was a carnival stunt rider. She spent her later years in Florida, earning her nickname as “The Motorcycle Queen of Miami” after performing at bike shows and founding the Iron Horse Motorcycle Club. She continued to ride into her 80s before passing away in 1993.

Stringfield was a major force in helping break down barriers for women riders and African-American motorcyclists, and her legacy was burnished in 2000 when the American Motorcycle Association named its award for “Superior Achievement by a Female Motorcyclist” in her honor. Stringfield was inducted into the AMA’s Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 2002.

She was one of the few civilian motorcycle dispatch riders for the US Army during World War II.

The Rise and Fall of the Mali Empire

How the Mali Empire rose under Sundiata, crashed Cairo's gold market under Mansa Musa, and fell to Songhai — the full story of Africa's wealthiest throne.

By Sasha Bo

In the summer of 1324, a procession of some sixty thousand people, including twelve thousand servants in Persian silk, moved slowly into Cairo from the western desert. At its head rode a man the Egyptians had been told to expect for months: Mansa Musa, the ninth emperor of Mali, on his way to Mecca. He brought with him, according to the chroniclers, a hundred camels, each loaded with roughly three hundred pounds of gold. He gave it away — to courtiers, to merchants, to beggars, to the sultan of Egypt, whose hospitality he accepted only on the condition that he not be made to kneel. When he left, three months later, the price of gold in Cairo had collapsed. It would, by some accounts, take a decade for the market to recover. The Arab historian al-‘Umari, writing shortly afterward, recorded the figure with something between awe and irritation: a single African king had walked into the richest city in the Mediterranean world and broken its currency by being generous.

He has been the president of Cameroon since 1982! He recently "won" the 2025 elections.

Pour celui-là les Africains vivent tous dans des huttes, sont des prostitués, sont des affamés, sont des simples d'esprit esclaves des russes. Il rode beaucoup dans des subs racistes et c'est pour ça qu'il a caché ses commentaires et ses publications. Il supporte une rhétorique négrophobe et dégradante envers les étrangers comme beaucoup de bots impérialistes sur ce sub.

Ruben Um Nyobè was killed by the French army on September 13, 1958, in the forest where he was hiding, after French colonial troops located him thanks to information obtained through the torture of a prisoner. After many months of hunting down his supporters, all killed or captured one after the other, his camp was located at the beginning of September 1958 by Captain Agostini, an intelligence officer and by Georges Conan, security inspector. Um Nyobè was shot several times, falling on the edge of a tree trunk which he was trying to climb over; it was near his native village, Boumnyebel, in the Nyong-et-Kéllé department in an area occupied by the Bassa ethnic group from which he was also born.

After killing him, the soldiers dragged his body through the mud to the village of Liyong. This disfigured him, his skin, head, and face being severely mutilated. By so drastically altering his remains, the colonial power sought to "destroy the individuality of his body and reduce it to a formless and unrecognizable mass," writes Cameroonian historian Achille Mbembe. It was in this same spirit, he continues, that "he was granted only an anonymous grave" at his burial on September 15, 1958. No epitaph, no particular description was inscribed on it. The colonial authorities had him buried without ceremony, encased in a massive block of concrete.

La situation sécuritaire au Mali est restée stable au cours des dernières 24 heures, selon les autorités maliennes. Les Forces armées maliennes, appuyées par des unités alliées, poursuivent leurs opérations pour localiser et démanteler les groupes armés actifs dans plusieurs régions.

Dans la zone de Koutiala, les opérations de destruction de camps identifiés se poursuivent. Un nouveau site a été repéré près du village de Doundé grâce au renseignement aérien, ce qui a conduit à une frappe ciblée contre un regroupement de combattants.

10 millions of congolese were killed during the reign of terror of the Belgian. [King Leopold II ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopold\_II\_of\_Belgium) was a bloodthirsty ruler. He ordered to cut the hands of the Congolese who didn't work enough. Those who resisted were killed along with their family.

Cnews est une chaîne de l'extrême droite dirigée par Bolloré, un milliardaire raciste qui est impliqué dans l'exploitation et la collusion avec nos dirigeants corrompus. Cette chaîne a beaucoup d'auditeurs en France. Elle contribue à dévoiler au grand jour l'idéologie négrophobe et colonialiste qui est à la base de leur société.

Quand on cherche à comprendre pourquoi le Mali enchaîne les coups d’État, pourquoi le terrorisme y a trouvé un terreau aussi fertile, pourquoi l’État malien semble perpétuellement en train de s’effondrer sur lui-même, il faut remonter à une seule nuit : le 19 novembre 1968. C’est la nuit où Modibo Keita, premier président du Mali indépendant, est renversé par une poignée de militaires que personne ne connaissait la veille. Ce coup d’État n’est pas juste un changement de régime. C’est l’exécution d’un projet de civilisation.

Modibo Keita prend le pouvoir en 1960 avec un pays sans industrie, sans façade maritime, avec un analphabétisme massif et une économie entièrement aux mains de Paris. Il sort le Mali de la zone franc CFA en 1962 et crée une monnaie nationale souveraine. La France coupe l’aide immédiatement. Il ne cède pas et se tourne vers l’URSS, la Chine, Cuba, la Yougoslavie.

Il nationalise les secteurs stratégiques, lance des usines textiles, des structures de transformation agricole — l’idée étant de casser le cycle colonial où les matières premières partent brutes et reviennent transformées à prix d’or. Il réforme l’éducation en introduisant les langues nationales et l’histoire africaine dans les programmes, effaçant le curriculum colonial.

Keita est arrêté la nuit du 19 novembre 1968, détenu dans des conditions dégradantes dans le nord du Mali. Il meurt en prison le 16 mai 1977, officiellement d’un “malaise cardiaque”. Il avait 62 ans, ses demandes de soins avaient été ignorées pendant des mois. Beaucoup pensent qu’on l’a laissé mourir sciemment. Des générations entières grandissent sans projet national, sans identité culturelle consolidée, dans un État qui ne produit rien et vit de l’aide étrangère jusqu’à l’arrivé du pouvoir actuel au Mali.
