After 55 years of rule by the Bongo family, it seems the people of Gabon are happy to see the Bongo model—high unemployment, persistent poverty, neocolonial subordination—go.

At the largest gathering against the French presence in Niger yet. Demonstrator Yacouba Issoufou told Reuters: "We are ready to sacrifice ourselves today, because we are proud…they plundered our resources and we became aware. So they're going to get out."

🇨🇩 9.6 million people have been displaced, and 6 million killed in the Democratic Republic of Congo in a long-running conflict rooted in competition over the $24 trillion in mineral wealth in Congolese soil. What’s going on in the DRC? A 🧵. #FreeCongo

You’re looking at drums preparing and storing natural fertilizers produced from seaweed and fish byproducts at the Abdur processing plant in Massawa, Eritrea. They produce 40,000 liters a month for farmers producing a range of crops.

In multiple cities, for nearly five days, protestors in Burkina Faso (in particular in Kaya) blocked a French military convoy, demanding an end to French imperialist presence in West Africa. Reports (denied by France) are that four protestors were shot and wounded Saturday.

I’m sorry this whole thing is a farce. Joe Biden talking about how shocked he was about racists in Charlottesville. He co-sponsored bills with segregationists like Jesse Helms. Dined with hardcore white supremacist James Eastland. Where was our love for each other then Joe?
