We overcome it through ignorance.

The blackman has never seen the need to have written history, many of these atrocities (some much worse) in Africa and the US have disappeared with history simply because we did not record them.

If we had written history, we would be drawing more sympathy than the Jews and their "holocaust line".

The black man is allergic to books, be it writing or reading. They only know street raw wars and phombe...

Asi. Tungekuwa wengi sana. and then they unleashed the hiv!! persecution well planned and organized. The 3rd Testament work in progress.

Oh! What a sad history lesson!

A lesson without a change of outlook or behavior, is no lesson. Only critical thinking can teach. And that's what you seem to be avoiding.

Bring it on brother, do not just criticize, let us see this critical thinking of yours. I promise I will try to follow and understand...

Ok, @AlphDoti; Start by answering the questions above.

Slowly fear spread trough the african elite, and none after the Guinea events ever found the courage to follow the example of Sékou Touré, whose slogan was “We prefer freedom in poverty to opulence in slavery.”

Sylvanus Olympio, the first president of the Republic of Togo, a tiny country in west Africa, found a middle ground solution with the French.He didn’t want his country to continue to be a french dominion, therefore he refused to sign the colonisation continuation pact De Gaule proposed, but agree to pay an annual debt to France for the so called benefits Togo got from french colonization.It was the only conditions for the French not to destroy the country before leaving. However, the amount estimated by France was so big that the reimbursement of the so called “colonial debt” was close to 40% of the country budget in 1963.

The financial situation of the newly independent Togo was very unstable, so in order to get out the situation, Olympio decided to get out the french colonial money FCFA (the franc for french african colonies), and issue the county own currency.

On January 13, 1963, three days after he started printing his country own currency, a squad of illiterate soldiers backed by France killed the first elected president of newly independent Africa. Olympio was killed by an ex French Foreign Legionnaire army sergeant called Etienne Gnassingbe who supposedly received a bounty of $612 from the local French embassy for the hit man job.

Olympio’s dream was to build an independent and self-sufficient and self-reliant country. But the French didn’t like the idea.

On June 30, 1962, Modiba Keita , the first president of the Republic of Mali, decided to withdraw from the french colonial currency FCFA which was imposed on 12 newly independent African countries. For the Malian president, who was leaning more to a socialist economy, it was clear that colonisation continuation pact with France was a trap, a burden for the country development.

On November 19, 1968, like, Olympio, Keita will be the victim of a coup carried out by another ex French Foreign legionnaire, the Lieutenant Moussa Traoré.

In fact during that turbulent period of African fighting to liberate themselves from European colonization, France would repeatedly use many ex Foreign legionnaires to carry out coups against elected presidents...

@tycho, here is a simple case... You can twist it the way you want.
