The US, the world’s supposedly greatest country, seems nonetheless to boast some of its most barbaric policies.
One of these policies, practiced in nearly all states, forces convicted US nationals to pay for their own imprisonment, and targets their financial assets if they can’t afford to do this.
You genuinely couldn’t make it up, and for Africans, it is the infinitieth reason why admiring or aligning ourselves in any way with the US is a recipe for our own destruction.
Why Non-Violence Doesn’t Work in the U.S.
In this clip, All-African People’s Revolutionary Party (@aaprp.intl) co-founder Kwame Ture (1941-98) criticised the Rev Dr Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-68) for insisting on non-vi*lent methods of protest.
If non-violence is impossible against an enemy with no conscience, what is the right tactic? Drop us a comment.

The US Brought Ebola To Kenya, Now Cases Are Rising
Kenya has just recorded its eighth confirmed case of Ebola since October 6. The people of Kenya have the US and their own weak-willed government to thank for this tragic development. For the people of Africa, this development is the latest lesson on the importance of fighting for and defending their sovereignty, by any means necessary.
We are unlikely, for instance, to ever hear such chilling news from Eritrea, Tanzania or the Alliance of Sahel States (AES).
To Free Africa, Leaders Must Politically Educate Africans
Psychologist and author Dr Umar Ifatunde Johnson argues that many African leaders haven’t done a good job at political education, hence why the African masses haven’t remained loyal to long-term projects to liberate the continent.
Do you agree with Johnson?
