Since China population is declining while population in Africa is rising, i.e global means of production will move from China to the African nations. Do you guys think my prognosis is correct?
Please be nice, i'm just trying to understand something here. And sorry for any mistakes.
So recently I've came across a TikTok about supporting Morocco and Egypt since they were the only African countries left in the WC. Then someone (jokingly I suppose) comments that "We also have France representing us". Which to what the creator of the tiktok responds "Supporting colonizers African traitors who refused to represent their African identity is NEVER the solution (idc if they're born or have citizenship)".
Ngl I was taken aback by the creator's statement. A vast majority of French players were born and raised there. Why would they choose to represent any other country than France? That said, I know there are cases where players choose to play for their country of origin even though they have never lived there. But as far as to call them traitors?? Seriously??
Also, what's the difference between this kind of statement and the racist rhetoric we see in France (or in the western world in general)? Because I feel like both of those claims are saying the same thing: the black players are not French so they shouldn't be playing for France.
At the end of the day, everyone can support whoever they want, it's none of my business. But saying they are traitors for not playing for their country of origin is a bit insane to me.
What do you guys think?
Just wanted to discuss something new.
Certain African nations have issues with their geoscience not being able to truly value or locate mineral mines and the value extracted from these mines. This increases the issue in being exploited or not applying good tax values, missing out on potentially billions.
This is already a very well known issue that Africa as a whole is exploited for their recourses. For example Morocco and their phosphate reserves causing water scarcity for the country. If Morocco could use the phosphate rather than shipping it raw it would keep billions of profit inside the country. Same thing with Congo and their cobalt reserves being exploited and snatched by greedy corporations dumping toxic waste into rivers causing them to become contaminated
If I’ve made ANY mistakes here please correct me, I love being informed. I wanna know what Africa as a whole could do to combat these sort of issues? Sometimes I feel like it’s an issue that is hard to resolve unless the western world changes.

Not sure what the appropriate flair would be for this tbh
Many Western charities are colonialism in disguise, or tourism and white saviorism wrapped up as charity. What are some of the organizations and actions, if any, that you’ve seen from Westerners that have actually benefited the people most in need? Please include your country in the response.
Italy was the only colonizer whose language didn’t become official in a single country in Africa, neither did it become a common destination for immigrants from its former colonies. And from what I’ve heard, Somalis, Eritreans and Libyans for the most part don’t even think about Italy whatsoever, meaning that Italy has virtually no influence there anymore nowadays. How did that happen?
Hi everyone,
I'm an indie game developer from Tunisia currently working on a medieval survival strategy game called Forgebound.
It got me thinking: Africa has so many talented developers, artists, musicians, and storytellers, yet we rarely see African-made games getting the same visibility as projects from Europe, North America, or Asia.
As Africans, what do you think we can do to better support game development across the continent? Is it simply a matter of buying the games, wishlisting them, sharing them with friends, or is there something else we're missing?
If you're curious about what game development looks like in Tunisia, I'm happy to answer questions about the process and share my experience.
And if you'd like to support an African indie project, checking out or wishlisting Forgebound on Steam would genuinely help a lot.
I'd also love to discover other African-made games, so if you know any, please share them!

My husband and i, along with our toddler, have been keen to do some travelling in other African countries. There are a bunch we're interested in visiting but are still in the planning stage so no first choices yet. Some countries we're keen on just off the top of my head are Ghana, Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, Malawi, The Gambia.
That said, im sure you all know what's currently going on in SA. My concern is that we may face issues with backlash related to that as our passports will state the obvious and have to be used for pretty much everything. I dont think we really would, but it is a thought at the back of my mind. We'd be sticking to typical touristy areas and probably resorts as its just more practical with a toddler but ideally we would like to get out a bit with the locals occasionally and maybe hire a car for a road trip or two.
Realistically, do you think we'd face any concerns? Would it be better to wait a year or two until things calm down a bit?
Are there any sizeable African cities which are very walkable and I don’t mean like strictly historical/touristy places I mean like a city people live, work and enjoy. Also if anyone could point me to any urban planning projects/organisations that I could follow that would be nice thanks.
Do sacrifices even needed to be made
I’ve been looking and noticing the situation is getting worse. Now I don’t know if it’s western media exaggerating or if it’s true, can someone that knows about this help please.
I saw a video where Nigerian woman managed sell all the water sachets just by showing off her hour glass body shape.
Its probably why Southern african women are lusted after.
The men literally lose all common sense when they see a hour glass body shape it's comical, lmfao
How do you court the women in your country?
