France has the 4th largest gold reserve in the world. How? France holds 90% of the gold reserves of 15 African countries and pays 0% interest on what it makes from those reserves since 1945. These nations however borrow from #France from their own reserves with interest!

Most Africans are polyglots. We speak multiple languages but due to colonialism we have allowed our languages to be referred to as “dialects” and we don’t even count them in the languages we speak. For most Africans, being bilingual means speaking English and French.

Happening in #Togo now. The people of #Togo are not ready to stop protesting till the fall of the oldest military regime in #Africa . It’s been almost 6 months and we are still standing strong to demand change. #Fauremustgo #Togodebout
