U.S. Soft Power: The War On Liberation
Soft power is not the opposite of direct military force. USAID and NED do not simply “assist development” or “promote democracy.” They fund violent opposition movements, rewrite civil society in the image of the U.S., and undermine popular movements that threaten the neoliberal order (…)
Critique Of The UN Peace-Keeping Mission In Congo During The Congo Crisis (1960-1964)
From this, we can see that the alleged financial motivations of Hammarskjold had some impact on his policies in Congo. Furthermore, the law firms that represented Lamco’s American affiliate: Sullivan & Cromwell, and GottliebSteen & Hamilton, had strong bonds with the CIA director Allen Dulles, and George Ball, an important member of the State Department and with Fowler Hamilton, head of US foreign aid program, in short, people with significant influence on the US foreign. Since the US was the biggest supporter, both financially and militarily, of the UN in Congo, this suggests that the UN was in Congo to serve Lamco’s capitalist interests (…)
« Touche pas à ma constitution » : mauvais cri de ralliement ?
Une question se pose alors, pourquoi le régime de Tshisekedi décideraient-ils d’attaquer cet article ainsi que toute la constitution alors que le peuple Africain assiste au retour en force du panafricanisme anti-impérialiste incarné par les révolutions dans l’Alliance des États du Sahel ? Devrait-on penser que le couple impérialisme-néocolonialisme ne fait que prendre une position défensive ? Ce qui est sûr est que les Fatshigans veulent détourner l’attention et l’énergie des Congolais de la lutte contre la kleptocratie toxique qui ronge les institutions de la république. Les Congolais conscients doivent être prudent et ne pas perdre de vue le vrai combat et le vrai ennemi…
Distorted Version of Democracy: Can I Choose My Opponent From The Lesser Of Two Evils?
What ends up happening is that the people have to narrow down their demands and will to fit whatever either party can offer. This is a distorted version of democracy because instead of the parties reflecting the will of the people, the people have to reflect the will of the parties which can lead to some unthinkable mentalities…
White Supremacy, Yet A Factor Against International Solidarity
Nevertheless, paraphrasing Walter Rodney, white people are an enemy of the oppressed people, until proven otherwise (Walter Rodney rightfully applied the same logic to Black or Afro intellectuals/elites). Hence, only on the battlefield, only by sharing the blood under the sounds of machine guns, will white supremacy be destroyed. Solidarity will not be taken for granted or forced upon people as Imperialist US and EU tried to suggested to the people of the world regarding the war between Russia and Ukraine. True solidarity will be built and earn through the revolutionary struggle. Not only between white and non-white, but also among all oppressed people...
The End of the Red Rubber System in the Congo Free State
Despite Morel’s effort to end the red rubber system, the treaty of cession of the Congo to Belgium drafted in 1907 let the “Crown Domain '' - a vast territory in Congo rich in natural resources, including rubber - into the hands of Leopold II. Thus, the end of the end of the red rubber system was not guaranteed. Thus, Morel organized a meeting of the CRA in London on January 21, 1908, where a petition was signed, urging the British government to put in place a plan of action pressuring the Belgian government to elaborate a treaty of cession that would guarantee the respect of the indigenous rights and the cessation of any violation of human rights committed on them…
Pourquoi n’y a-t-il pas encore eu de révolution en RD Congo ?
Cet article s’adresse principalement au peuple congolais, mais il peut aussi s’adresser à tout autre Afro ou autre peuple opprimé et exploité par le système capitaliste, impérialiste et raciste occidental et ses marionnettes. La révolution, je pense, finira par inclure (à un stade différent et ultérieur) d’autres peuples opprimés et exploités, car nous devons maximiser nos ressources et attaquer sur tous les fronts pour être sûrs de renverser ce système qui a mis des décennies et des siècles à être mis en place…
