Fuite Des Cerveaux : À Un Problème Systémique, Une Solution Révolutionnaire
Les médias occidentaux, les chaînes de télévision, les films, tous créent ce paradigme dans les mentalités des Africains, leur faisant croire que la vie est forcément meilleure en Occident. Ce faisant, les propagandes cachent le reste de l’iceberg, ne montrant pas l’origine et les forces qui maintiennent ce semblant d’État-providence aux dépens des peuples opprimés du monde (…)
Brain Drain: To A Systemic Problem, A Revolutionary Solution
Western media, television channels, and films all create this paradigm in the African psyche, leading them to believe that life is necessarily better in the West. In doing so, this propaganda hides the rest of the iceberg, failing to show the origins and the forces that maintain this semblance of a Welfare State at the expense of the oppressed peoples of the world (…)
La Révolution : C’Est Une Question De Construire… Et De Détruire Aussi
Maintenant, disons que vous voulez résoudre ce problème de la vieille maison. Quelle est, selon vous, la meilleure approche ? Pensez-vous que changer la couleur de la maison (la repeindre) résoudra le problème ? Pensez-vous qu'ajouter une nouvelle fenêtre, une nouvelle porte, ou même une nouvelle pièce changera le problème ? (...)
Revolution Is All About Building…And Destroying Too
Now, let's say you want to solve this problem of the old house. What do you think is the best approach? Do you think that changing the color of the house (repainting) will resolve the issue? Do you think that adding a new window, a new door, or even a new room will change the issue? (…)
The Transformation of the Self and Collective Organization: A Blueprint for Revolutionary Transformation?
On the path to the Revolution, a deconstruction and rebuilding of systems through daily habits will be crucial. It’s about identifying inefficiencies—schools lacking digital tools, banks excluding the unbanked, roads riddled with potholes—and modeling solutions after the world’s best systems, adapted to African realities (…)
Limites De La Non-violence Et Le Pacifisme Face À Un Ennemi Sans Conscience Ni Moralité?
Si, moralement, se retenir face à une agression est correct, mais en réalité est-il correct, voir même efficace, de se laisser défiguré ou fracturé au nom de la non-violence? Surtout lors que les conditions de depravation auxquelles on resiste ne changent pas. Souvent il est dur de constater que la morale au sens radical se détache vraiment de la réalité. Lorsque la non-violence se transforme en principe, au lieu d’être juste une tactique,(…)
Promouvoir La Culture Traditionnelle Tout En Luttant Contre La Discrimination Envers Les Femmes
Dans le même élan, il est nécessaire que les coutumes cessent d’être utilisées comme prétextes pour justifier des pratiques discriminatoires telles que le mariage précoce, l’excision, l’exclusion des filles de l’héritage ou la non-scolarisation des jeunes filles. Ces pratiques ne doivent plus être perçues comme « culturelles », car elles ne reflètent ni la noblesse ni la richesse de l’Afrique. La culture, pour mériter son nom, doit élever l’être humain, pas l’opprimer. (...)
« 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…
Let’s talk about confrontations
The other challenge of confronting people from the oppressors or privileged groups is to do with being afraid to hurt or disappoint the “good and honest” oppressors or those who are “helping” us. This can lead people from the third group to deem their words, to accommodate the truth to the oppressor, and to try to not be too subversive. This is a trick, truth is only truth when it is given as it is and should be. I mean, from a personal opinion again, if the oppressors feel attacked, they have to question their positionality, and oppressed people should never feel uncomfortable saying why they are uncomfortable…
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…
Why there has not been a revolution in the DR Congo in the 21st Century?
What one can do is, first, to keep educating themselves. As you have read so far, it is difficult to realize what I have just mentioned without researching it because it is taught nowhere. We cannot expect to learn that from school, we have to put an effort into unlearning all the propaganda we have been fed with. Books are a good start because the truth is that we are not alone, a lot of our brothers and sisters and ancestors have realized too the flaws in the system and they have written about it. One needs just to look for them. There is a lot to learn out there from books, even suggestions for way-outs. And again, we should not expect to truly understand revolutionary texts from going school, we need to put an effort into analysing them. After that, we need to educate each other. Even if it may not be the most comfortable thing to do if a brother or sister is still brainwashed, it is our duty as a community to bring them home (Carmichael, 1971, p. 433)…
The Journey to Hope from Destruction
Two decades passed, wars succeeded one another, rebellions begot insurrections and injustice engulfed wretchedness. But the land got rebuilt, a new system, for the people, got installed and agreements got made. Although there is still impunity in the air and some parts are still blurry, victims, their children and their grandchildren are asked to move on, to forget a past that has benefitted some at their expense…
An Understanding of Settler Colonialism
However, in the case of South Africa, the native Africans were many (more than 70%), hence by uniting and gaining consciousness they became a greater threat to Boers. That is why in the early stages of the Apartheid, it was so important to create and maintain the Bantustan. They were small pieces of land, scattered in South Africa, where the native Africans were concentrated. Hence, it was not surprising that a leader supported by all native Africans would win any free election in which all the people were participating. Nevertheless, it is necessary to remember that the structures and systems from the Apartheid are still affecting the native Africans. This is because the apartheid was overthrown only politically and not economically…
The field is on fire: time to set the house on fire too
Siblings and comrades and those of us who were longing for an opening, the day has arrived.
For decades, we thought this machinery was invincible, we thought that the hegemony would be eternal. Instilled inside the minds of our ancestors and passed down to us like a cursed legacy, this fear and despair was nourished by what we were seeing, eating, and drinking. The very fabric of our societies was poisoned, so deeply that we forgot love, our true essence. In our relations with one another, in our celebrations, in our connection to the earth, nothing was spared, to the point that no way out was envisioned. Who could resist, why should they resist? All the alternatives seemed too scary because this evil reality was set as the standard and baseline for us all…
