Britain didn't go to war over territory, ideology, or assassination. It went to war because China refused to buy drugs. In this video, we uncover the full story of how the British Empire engineered a narcotics pipeline from the poppy fields of Bengal to the harbors of Canton, addicted millions of Chinese citizens to opium, and then launched two devastating wars when China tried to shut the trade down. The result? Unequal treaties, the seizure of Hong Kong, the burning of the Summer Palace, and the beginning of what China still calls its Century of Humiliation — a wound that shaped the modern world and still echoes in geopolitics today.
We cover the East India Company's calculated monopoly on opium production, the chronic British trade deficit that started it all, Commissioner Lin Zexu's dramatic destruction of 20,000 chests of opium, the military campaigns that shattered the Qing Dynasty, the Treaty of Nanking and the cession of Hong Kong, the Second Opium War and the destruction of the Yuanmingyuan, the 99-year lease of the New Territories, Margaret Thatcher's negotiations with Deng Xiaoping, and the 1997 handover that marked the symbolic end of the British Empire.
This is the story of what happens when profit overrides sovereignty, and when the language of free trade is used to justify the most unfree of outcomes.

What Price Bride Price?
Bride Price or lobola is both a cherished but highly controversial culture practised throughout Africa. It is the price paid in cows or money by the groom to the parents of the bride.
This inspirational documentary tackles important side effects of bride wealth, namely child marriages, domestic violence and poverty. It features a cross-section of survivors of domestic violence, judges, community leaders, policy makers and rights activists.
The makers believe there are various aspects of the practice of bride price that violate the Constitution of Uganda as well as binding International Human Rights laws.
We take the viewer into the lives of ordinary Ugandans as they share their experience on dowry.
This enlightening documentary also provides a wealth of information on the practice of Bride Price in different cultures in Uganda.

Notes for Journalists / Editors
MIFUMI Brief Organizational Profile
MIFUMI is a developmental NGO and women's rights organization. The organization has worked for over ten years to reduce the burden of poverty; addressing issues that hinder development by initiating developmental projects. MIFUMI particularly protects women and children experiencing domestic violence and bride price related violations.
MIFUMI's position on various issues around the practice of bride price is as follows:
1. Bride price should not form an essential ingredient of marriage, it should be non-obligatory
2. Bride price should not be refunded when a relationship breaks down. In 2015, MIFUMI's appeal case in the Supreme Court finally bore fruits; the demand for refund of bride price upon dissolution of a customary marriage was declared unconstitutional thus putting an end to a practice that tied women in loveless and violent unions.
3. At the death of a woman, before the payment/completed payment of bride price, burial should not be prevented and bride price should not be demanded. (MIFUMI has successfully embedded this into the Tororo district level policy through the Bridal Gifts Ordinance)

President Ibrahim Traoré, Burkina Faso has not only broken free from economic shackles but has also laid the foundation for a future built on self-reliance, industrial strength, and cultural revival. He has defied global financial institutions, reclaimed national wealth, and rebuilt the backbone of his country’s economy—without a single handout from the West.
But revolutions don’t happen without a fight.
Traoré’s journey has been one of defiance, strategy, and sheer willpower. From rejecting IMF loans to nationalizing gold mines, from boosting food production to cutting government corruption at its core—his leadership has rewritten the rules of governance.

While astronomy enthusiasts await the first images from the James Webb Space Telescope, we've got a spectacular celestial event to relish: the grand planetary alignment of June 2022. The planets have been putting up great shows in the predawn sky since March last week. As a result, we have had several planetary conjunctions and two planet parades. Unfortunately, Mercury and Uranus were missing in the April and May planetary alignments. But the two planets have joined the parade in June, and we have an alignment of all the seven planets as seen from the Earth. The last time such an event took place was way back in December 2004, almost 18 years ago.
