How Mobutu Conquered Congo | The Complex History of the Leopard of Zaire - 23 Apr 2021
How Mobutu Conquered Congo | The Complex History of the Leopard of Zaire - 23 Apr 2021 Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 55 Views • 5 years ago

As far as African dictators go, there is probably no single greater illustration of the nuances and complexities that underpin dictatorships in Africa, than Joseph Desire Mobutu’s 31 year stint, as the leader of the nation known today as the DRC.

A self-proclaimed anti-communist who modelled his entire state apparatus after China’s chairman Mao. A self-styled African revolutionary, who collaborated with his country’s former colonisers to assassinate his own prime minister and a proud Afrocentric, whose love for European luxuries and prestige would see him seize control of an estimated one third of his country’s GDP and build a personal net worth nearly twice the size of his country’s national debt.

A paradoxical man from a nation of paradox. Mobutu may have been stereotypically arrogant and cruel, but he was far from a simpleton. His over 3 decades as Congo’s Supreme leader, would be built on a complex combination of evil genius, will power and good fortune.

Inside Jamaica’s Sacred Ancestral Ceremony
Inside Jamaica’s Sacred Ancestral Ceremony T. Y. Adodo 16 Views • 4 months ago

#jamaica #jamaicaculture #kumina #jamaicahistory #maroons
Kumina is one of Jamaica's most powerful and least understood African-derived traditions — a religion, a music form, and a way of speaking to the ancestors that has survived nearly 200 years. In this video, we trace Kumina's true origin story, break down the music and movement behind the ceremony, and take you inside the annual Rebirthday ceremony held in Fairy Hill, Portland — an all-night ritual of drumming, dance, and ancestral connection that most Jamaicans have never witnessed firsthand.
Unlike many Afro-Jamaican traditions, Kumina was not brought to Jamaica through slavery. It arrived after emancipation, carried by free Kongo people from Central Africa who came to Jamaica as indentured laborers in the 1840s–1860s. What they brought with them — the drumming, the language, the belief system — remains almost entirely intact today, still practiced in communities across St. Thomas, Portland, St. Mary, and St. Catherine.
In this video you'll learn:
🥁 The real origin of Kumina and its connection to the Kongo Kingdom
🥁 How the bandu and playing kyas drums carry Kumina's rhythm and history
🥁 Why one of Kumina's drums was disguised as a rum cask
🥁 What "myal" possession means within the ceremony
🥁 What happens during the Rebirthday ceremony in Fairy Hill, Portland
🥁 How Kumina shaped Nyabinghi drumming and modern reggae and dancehall

Sex Trafficking in Nigeria | DW Documentary
Sex Trafficking in Nigeria | DW Documentary Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 30 Views • 5 years ago

Nigeria is plagued by human trafficking. Young women are lured to Europe by false promises. When they get to the EU, they are violently forced into prostitution and kept in debt. An escape is almost impossible.

Many young Nigerian women are drawn to the European Union by promises of good incomes and secure work, but they often pay a high price. The young women and their families go into debt to pay human traffickers for the journey. Once they are in Europe, the women are forced into prostitution rather than working as hairdressers or maids. The organized crime cartels behind this grim trade not only coerce the women and force them to work off their debts, they also threaten to kill their families back in Nigeria. But human rights campaigners say that the trafficking could not survive at all without willing customers.

The slow disappearance of BLACK families in Brazil; how interracial unions is whitening Brazil
The slow disappearance of BLACK families in Brazil; how interracial unions is whitening Brazil Kwabena Ofori Osei 59 Views • 2 years ago

Starting in the 19th century, Brazil's leaders proclaimed the goal of whitening the Brazilian population through Eruopean immigration and the promotion of interracial unions. Added to that, an apparent agenda to lower the numbers of black and brown people through extreme tactics of police and everyday violence and we see a slow diminishing of black families. In this video, the host of the YouTube channel I AM RICARDO K expresses his opinion on the topic.
