Raping Africa: The Central African Republic

in #africa7 years ago (edited)

This is going to be the final installment of the series. The story never changes, only the name of the nation and the cast of bad guys. The bloodshed in the Central African Republic is no different and the only "republic" there is in the name.

I could have called this series Colonialism For Dummies. Colonialism in Africa has never ceased in any meaningful way... It also fits a very specific paradigm. Colonial powers, whether from Europe, the US, or under the auspices of the UN (which, as it turns out, is nothing more than a global criminal enterprise) the pattern remains the same.

  1. Find a group of radical Islamic extremists (Which there seems to be no shortage of) and give them arms.
  2. Turn them loose on the populace.
  3. Wait until the Christian forces coalesce and begin killing Muslims (even those not involved).
  4. Send in "peacekeepers" to "liberate" the people.
  5. Find a corrupt puppet that will do the will of the colonial power and "elect" him in a "fair and objective" election overseen by the UN
  6. Tell the populace that they are now "free" (as long as they do exactly as they are told)
  7. When legitimate democratic movements based on actual self-determination arise, pass UN resolutions and starve the people. If they continue to resist their "freedom," bomb them into the Stone Age.

It seems to work very well. It has throughout Africa, certainly the countries that I've researched. The following video shows the same old story... just different characters.

Sort:  

Africa really has gotten the short end of the stick, but on a positive note, it's probably much easier to have a spiritual life there and the pictures I see of the animals and landscape are amazing. I'm not saying it justifies any of the other shit, but just pointing out the positives and why we should never give up on any of our brothers and sisters out there.

Agreed...That's why I did the series, to remind people that they're still there and struggling to join the rest of us. It truly is a beautiful and amazing place, it's a shame that with such a wealth of resources that the people are exploited the way they are.

It kind of makes sense if you think about it. Keep them so destabilized that they can't ever really band together and do anything about it. It's what I would expect them to do in the rest of the world if we hadn't already raped all of the resources from Europe and North America during "western government" expansion. The less Syrias, Iraqs, and Afghanistans that get set up, the easier it is to keep proxy exploiting the people through apartheid and covert slavery. Then again people in "western" countries don't even realize they are debt slaves, so trying to get them to think on a level beyond "oh those poor black people" is a long stretch, but I am all about healing and will try to point out the positives when I can. Raising awareness of problems is the first step to solving them, so keep up the good work.

Thank you my friend... I was going to do a couple of more countries like Rwanda and Somalia but it's just the same story over and over.
