Colonialism was an exercise in imperial conquest, implemented at the tip of the bayonet. The Africans resisted but the forces raged against them bore superior arms and strategies. In this extensive interview, famous Kenyan historian Prof. Macharia Munene, gives a deep lesson on how colonialism took place in Kenya and Africa and the role of missionaries, soldiers, administrators, anthropologists, and even a former American President who once visited Kenya at the dawn of colonialism. He explains the rationale behind the Berlin Conference of 1885 - bringing order and discipline among European powers for the smooth exploitation of the African continent. He also traces the rise of grievances and political dissent among the Africans as a result of the alienation of their land, the imposition of punitive taxation, the denial of political representation, the conscription of African young men to fight European wars, and wanton discrimination, all culminating in armed resistance such as Mau Mau in the case of Kenya. He sweeps through the history of slavery, African-American history, and the rise of comprehensive Pan-Africanism and shows how Pan-African thinking inspired the resistance in Kenya and African and vice-versa.

⁣Ayiti Bluez and AfroN8V recorded this song in 2010. AfroN8V is representing the Afrikans in Colombia paying homage to Ayiti for trying to free our Afrikan people from slavery which Bolivar continued upon independence. Ayiti Bluez sings about that role Ayiti played in South 'America'.

Collectively, Ayiti and Afrocolombia we are proud children of Afrika who continue to be in this 21st century, and we're wishing History, Consciousness and Triumph to the Black people of the world.

Nowadays, because of climate change and deforestation, there's not enough locally available construction timber in the Sahel region of Africa. Traditional roofs are often replaced by imported corrugated zinc sheets and sawn timber frames - an expensive and climatically inappropriate solution. But with the Nubian Vault technique, using raw earth as the principal construction material, a building can go up without using timber Such buildings are well adapted to both rural and urban contexts.
