Africans often claim that Europeans have stolen their resources, but the truth is that these resources are still in Africa and are being sold by African leaders. The real issue is why Africans aren't utilizing their own resources. For example, Mr. Beast had to go to Kenya to build water wells because the Kenyan government didn't take the initiative. Nigeria, with a population of 220 million, produces only 10% of the electricity that Hungary, with a population of 10 million, produces. Africans should build their own future instead of expecting handouts. However, Europeans should also prepare for Africa's potential rise in technology and military capacity, as there may be a future war between Europe and Africa.

Gaddafi's plan to introduce the Gold Dinar threatened Western monetary dominance. His vision of a united Africa with a common currency aimed to free the continent from Western exploitation. Economic sanctions were imposed to stop him. Despite this, Gaddafi persisted, but covert operations led to his downfall. Libya became unstable, Africa lost a visionary leader, and hopes for economic liberation were dashed. Corruption in governments continues to benefit the few at the expense of many, perpetuating economic injustice globally. Translation: Gaddafi's plan for a new currency challenged the West, leading to sanctions and his downfall. Africa lost a leader, and corruption persists, hindering economic justice.

The speaker discusses violence among black people, stating that there is no place where black people live and do not engage in violence against each other. They claim that in African countries with black governments and leaders, black people still kill each other. The speaker cites examples of violence in Kenya, including femicide, and notes similar issues in the Caribbean, Haiti, Jamaica, and the United States. They assert that black people will engage in violence in any community. The speaker claims that the only difference in Africa is the lack of guns, with violence instead enacted using sticks, machetes, knives, and bottles. They cite Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Sudan, Somalia, and Nigeria as examples of black-on-black violence.

The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is often compared to Wakanda due to its abundance of sacred minerals, including electrically charged stones that resemble Vibranium. These stones are not coltan or lithium, which do not retain an electric charge. However, the DRC has its own sources of electricity. The country continues to discover new resources, and there are concerns about what the future holds. Let's keep Congo in our thoughts and prayers.

Burkina Faso is undergoing a revolution that other African countries can emulate, marked by a leader who cares about his people. Since 1960, the country only had 3,000 kilometers of paved roads. The current government plans to pave 5,000 kilometers per year. The government bought all the road-building equipment to avoid relying on private companies. The government is in charge of building the roads. The equipment came from Ghana. The government trained the youth to operate the equipment. Burkina Faso is under construction with roads and factories being built. Entrepreneurs are emerging and feeling proud to do business in their country.

America can print its own currency to pay off its debts, but African countries, whose debts are in US dollars, have to earn those dollars by exporting crops. The World Bank's principle is that countries should only grow export crops, not their own food. This ensures oversupply and low prices for tropical raw materials. African countries are forced to buy grain from the US or Europe, giving those countries control over them. If African countries do something the US doesn't like, they can be sanctioned and denied grain exports. Owning foreign debt in dollars means African countries have to sell what the US wants, not what they want. The speaker believes the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund are the most evil organizations in the world.

Speaker 0 outlines a discussion on global threats and resources. The audience quickly names Russia as the major threat, with China and North Korea also suggested; Venezuela is mentioned by one participant as well. The speaker then pivots to a question about natural resources: which place has the largest oil deposit on the planet, more than Saudi Arabia or Iran? The answer highlighted is Venezuela, noted as arguably the single greatest source of oil and minerals on the planet. The focus shifts to Venezuela’s leadership: President Nicholas Reyes, who rose to power on nationalist pride and, in six years, has crippled the national economy by half and raised the poverty rate by almost 400%. Reyes is up for reelection. His opponent is Gloria Bonaldi, described as a history professor turned activist, running on a social justice platform. The speaker adds a claim about predictions for Venezuela’s future, stating that as of today the chances of total economic collapse are 87%. Media framing is contrasted: on the news, Venezuela would be called a crisis, but on the world stage it would be called a failed state. The speaker notes other examples of failed states in recent history—Yemen, Iraq, and Syria. A further point is made that Venezuela is the only one of these places within a thirty-minute range from the US of “next gen nuclear missiles.” The claim continues that you will not hear about any of this on the news because the biggest players on the world stage do not want you to; unstable governments are seen, in their view, as opportunities. The closing assertion is that Russia and China can never be the most major threat until countries like Venezuela leave the door open to the United States’ backyard.

Speaker 1 claims that a lack of maintenance is the primary issue in African countries, not a lack of resources. He states that when asked what is wrong with their country, people in Africa say "leadership." He points out that railways built by the British in Nigeria and Ghana are no longer functioning, unlike those maintained in Britain. Speaker 1 argues that the concept of "maintenance" is absent from some African cultures, using the Igbo language as an example, claiming there is no direct translation for "maintenance" or "democracy." He asserts that industrialized countries prioritize maintenance, which explains why buildings in Europe can last for hundreds of years. He suggests that the tropical environment in Africa does not require maintenance.

Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger are consistently ranked as the poorest countries, yet when they demand the departure of those exploiting their resources like uranium in Niger, their requests are resisted. Despite resource extraction, these nations lack basic infrastructure and services. This exploitation led to a revolt to reclaim their destiny. Some tried to coerce them back into subservience, but they refused, leading to infiltration by mercenaries and disinformation campaigns. The people are now aware and fighting for future generations, resolved to resist manipulation and fight for true independence. When Niger decided to "turn the page" on 07/26/2023, there was a threat of war, prompting a vow to defend against any attack. This led to the formation of the AES on 09/16/2023 for mutual defense, which is now expanding beyond defense to include finance, economy, infrastructure, health, and education. The focus remains on the supreme interest of the populations, with a call for unity and solidarity.

America can print its own currency to pay debts, but African countries must earn US dollars to repay debts. The World Bank's principle discourages countries from growing their own food, pushing them to focus on export crops. This leaves them vulnerable to sanctions if they act against US interests. The speaker criticizes the World Bank and IMF as the most evil organizations. Translation: America can print money to pay debts, but African countries must earn US dollars to repay debts. The World Bank discourages countries from growing their own food, making them reliant on exports and vulnerable to sanctions. The speaker criticizes the World Bank and IMF as the most evil organizations.

The speaker highlights India (almost 1,500,000,000 people) and China as powerful economies with their own domestic political mechanisms and laws. When someone says they will punish you, you must consider how the leadership of these large countries, "which had difficult periods in their history too, that had to do with colonialism, with attacks on their sovereignty during prolonged periods of time," would respond. If one of them shows weakness, "his political career will be over," which shapes their behavior. "Just the colonial era is now over." They must realize they "cannot use this tone in speaking with their partners." But ultimately, "things will be sorted out. Everything will take its place, and we will see a normal political dialogue again."

Many Africans claim that Europeans have stolen Africa's resources, but the truth is that these resources are being sold by African leaders. The real issue is why Africans aren't utilizing their own resources. For example, Mr. Beast had to go to Kenya to build water wells because the Kenyan government didn't take the initiative. Nigeria, with a population of 220 million, produces only 10% of the electricity that Hungary, with a population of 10 million, produces. Africans should build their own future instead of expecting it to be handed to them. However, Europeans should also prepare for Africa's potential rise in technology and military capacity, as there may be a future war between Europe and Africa.

In 1986, Nigeria implemented a structural adjustment program that led to the devaluation of its currency every week for 32 years. This resulted in the inability to build factories, start farms, or create jobs. Nigeria became a nation of importers, spending millions on items like toothpicks and tomatoes. The lack of funds for tomato processors caused farmers to lose money. The government aims to reduce imports, but faces opposition from those who profit from the current system. Nigeria's economy has been taken hostage by these individuals, and it will take a strong government to change the situation. The country needs to prioritize local goods and job creation for its young population.

Speaker 0: South Africa is, what, 75% black. Is that correct? 80%? That's right. Speaker 0: Why is it that once apartheid was removed why black South Africans were not able to see their material economic net worth go up in the last twenty or thirty years? Speaker 1: neocolonial control supply chains, and you own 72% of, you know, agriculture farmland. Speaker 1: Less than 3%. They are the richest racial group in America. Speaker 1: Land is basically all owned by white people in America. Speaker 1: One is driven in resentment and greed and envy and confiscation, and one is rooted in creation and entrepreneurship and optimism. I'd like to see the latter. Speaker 0: Let's work harder. Let's prove the boar wrong. Let's start a business.

The speaker discusses how interventions in Iraq and Libya were justified, while the genocide in Rwanda was ignored. They emphasize the importance of controlling narratives and data in both analog and digital forms. The erasure of African contributions to modernity and the construction of white supremacist views are highlighted. The speaker mentions the theft of land in Zimbabwe and the undervaluing of the informal economy. They argue that Africans are often seen as objects of charity and incapable of ethics. The need for African leaders and intellectuals to be connected to their people is emphasized, as well as the importance of indigenizing knowledge and learning from diverse sources. The speaker concludes by emphasizing the importance of self-worth and looking inward to build a solid foundation.

Afshin Ratanzi asks Afshin about his view that Saif al-Islam’s assassination was orchestrated by British and French intelligence using local proxies, and what led to that conclusion. Afshin says he didn’t say it himself, but sources told him it was MI6 with local proxies, naming Blaise Mettruel as head of MI6 and citing the granddaughter of Ukrainian Nazi Konstantin Dobrovsky. He notes hints of French involvement as well, referencing DGSE’s alleged plots to assassinate Burkina Faso leader Ibrahim Traoré and other recent French-backed anti-government activity in Africa, including mentions of Nicolas Lerner. He cites a broader pattern: NATO involvement in Africa, including NATO weapons and Ukrainian mercenaries in Niger, and asserts that the same forces were involved in Libyan events, including the Libyan leader’s funeral and the orchestration of instability. He also points to an Epstein connection, citing a Beverly Hills firm’s letter to Jeffrey Epstein about MI6 and Mossad in relation to “disaster capitalism” of Libyan resources, which he says made Libya the richest per capita in Africa before intervention. He mentions Russia’s role and that Russia, Brazil, and India abstained at the UN Security Council in 2011 during the NATO invasion. Regarding Libya’s current state, Afshin emphasizes continuing imperialist Western power that aims to “keep Africa down” and exploit resources. He recalls Muammar Gaddafi’s plan to de-dollarize Africa with a gold-based currency and Saif al-Islam’s intention to rejuvenate those ideas, suggesting the country’s prospects darkened after Saif’s death. He notes an Israeli former intelligence adviser who worked with General Haftar, a CIA asset, and says unity for Libya remains uncertain. He mentions potential Libyan brothers and awaits investigation results into Saif al-Islam’s killing, warning that gunmen may be part of a larger plot. Looking ahead, Afshin says the World Government Summit occurred in Dubai; he mentions the BRICS possibility for Libya’s future, including multipolarity and a move away from Western dominance. He references Mali and Burkina Faso as examples of shifting dynamics in the Sahel and suggests BRICS, China, Russia, and India could influence a future trajectory for Africa. He asserts Saif al-Islam was the most popular Libyan leader, with a funeral attended by about a million people, and notes Western media coverage of his funeral was minimal. He posits that Saif al-Islam’s vision for Libya included restoring pre-2011 gains in education, health, and food security, potentially rebuilding Libya as a wealthier nation and signaling an end to imperialism across Africa. Afshin thanks the host, and the interview ends.

Gaddafi's plan to introduce the Gold Dinar threatened Western monetary dominance. The West imposed sanctions, leading to Gaddafi's downfall and a fractured Libya. Africa lost a leader with a vision for economic liberation. Corruption in governments perpetuates a system benefiting the few at the expense of many, hindering economic justice and self-determination globally. Translation: Gaddafi's Gold Dinar plan challenged Western power, leading to sanctions and Libya's instability. Africa lost a leader aiming for economic freedom. Corruption hinders global economic justice and self-determination.

This is about the Franco CFA, a colonial currency printed by France for 14 African nations. France profits from these nations by exploiting their resources. The video shows a child working in a gold mine in Burkina Faso, one of the world's poorest countries. Burkina Faso uses the colonial currency, and in return, France demands 50% of all its exports. The money this child mines mostly ends up in the French treasury. The solution is not to move Africans to Europe, but to free Africa from the exploitation of certain Europeans and allow its people to live off their own resources.

The president of Congo is offering the U.S. ownership of some of its $24 trillion in minerals in exchange for Trump negotiating peace in the region, with talks reportedly ongoing with the White House. Congo has the largest lithium reserves, but minerals are extracted by children and shipped to China or Europe for refining. Congo's wealth paradoxically contributes to its poverty due to a lack of industrialization and governmental protection of investments. The situation is complex, involving Rwanda's alleged funding of the M23 group, a pro-Rwanda group operating in Eastern Congo comprised of Tutsis. This traces back to the Rwandan genocide, where divisions between Tutsis and Hutus persist in Eastern Congo. The Rwandan government has aligned itself with FDLR, a group comprised of some of the genociders, which the U.S. has established is a terrorist organization. The Congolese government is now partnering with the FDLR. Despite Congo's mineral wealth, Rwanda has a better military due to its system.

The discussion highlights the challenges faced by black leaders in governance, noting that no African country represented at the UN has a leader from a contested election. Comparisons are drawn with Latin America, where similar governance issues exist, often resulting in dictatorships or oligarchies. The conversation touches on the historical difficulties in governance in regions like Haiti and Liberia, contrasting them with more stable forms of government in parts of Asia. Despite recognizing cultural contributions from black communities in areas like sports and music, the speakers express skepticism about governance capabilities, suggesting that many regions struggle with effective leadership. The dialogue reflects on the complexities of race, governance, and cultural achievements.

Speaker 0 outlines root causes to understand Mali events. At the start of this year, the French decided to go in counter-offensive because African countries kicked them out three years ago from Mali, Burkina Faso, and Dinghya. The French have declared themselves a European superpower with nuclear armaments, emphasizing not only to keep nuclear electricity generation going but also to build more nuclear weapons as a geopolitical player. Their main source of uranium for weapon-grade material is apparently Niger. Mali, by contrast, is rich in minerals, including uranium and gold. The connection between Niger and Mali is described as not verified to be in the same region, yet Niger is positioned as a country rich in mineral resources. The attempt by France to create chaos and conduct regime change in Mali is said to have failed. On April 25, there was a well-prepared coup attempt in which between 10,000 to 12,000 so-called rebel forces operated, with many of them being Al Qaeda integrated with ISIS and the Jemim-affiliated group, along with a Tuareg faction seeking to establish their Azovite state. The speaker emphasizes that these 10 to 12 thousand fighters decided simultaneously to attack not only the capital but other locations as well, which would have been a fatal blow to the regime and would have caused the regime to collapse.

The President of Zimbabwe emphasized the importance of agriculture in Africa and praised the African Continental Free Trade Agreement. The World Bank predicts that properly implementing this agreement could increase Africa's GDP by $450 million by 2035. Currently, there are restrictions on agricultural goods moving within Africa, hindering market opportunities. To address this, the focus should be on agri-processing to add value to raw materials produced in countries. Many commodities, such as cotton and cashews, are exported in their raw form, only to be processed elsewhere, resulting in others benefiting from the added value.
