I've heard a lot about Chinese imperialism in Africa. Now I'm hearing about Russian imperialism... I guess the West is just innocent in that arena. :shrug-outta-hecks: .

    I love how “the western media” treat Africa as if it were one nation of one people. The “smart grown-ups” still use ancient racist mindsets.

      It would be really cool if they were. Or a confederation of African states :so-true:

        There kinda is, but much like the EU its functionally just a proxy for some of the bigger economies (Ethiopia mainly), which are themselves heavily influenced (if not outright colonized) by Western corporate interests.

        I'd happily trade the AU for some kind of African IWW.
