Between 1885 and 1908, the Belgian King Leopold II personally ruled the Congo Free State, which was also known as the Independent State of the Congo.
Because he ruled the state personally, he had total control of its resources and had to answer to no one.

A Wagner Group-linked Russian representative in Central African Republic (CAR) was injured after opening a mail bomb. Dmitry Syty, the head of the "Russian House" culture centre, was rushed to a hospital in CAR capital Bangui after being seriously injured. The chief of the Wagner mercenary group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, accused France of an assassination attempt on Syty. Another African nation, Burkina Faso, has allegedly sought help form the Wagner Group to control insurgency in the country. Is CAR “assassination attempt” a message to the Wagner group head? After Ukraine, will Wagner Group now enter the Ghana-burkina conflict?

How do they destroy African leaders? First, they destroy the image. Burkina Faso, Traoré, and the media-smear playbook. Full episode: https://youtube.com/live/yX2Fvgz8Xn8 #panafricanism #africa #burkinafaso #shootthebreeze #bittermedicinepodcast
Just a quick preview to my convo with Brother Obadele Kambon details below:
ANCIENT ORIGINS OF PAN-AFRICANISM
Most people believe that the Pan-Afrikan Movement is little more than 100 years old. Most people also believe that Pan-Afrikanism is merely an invention dreamed up by diasporans; and that it is not indigenous to Afrikans on the continent. In this exclusive interaction we explode both myths as Bro. Obadele Kambon presents his ground breaking research.

AKANFO NANASOM: Ancient Authentic Akan Ancestral ReligionWeek 1 from our 4-Week Online Course Akan people of Ghana and Ivory Coast originated in ancient Khanit (Nubia) and would later migrate to West Afuraka/Afuraitkait (Africa) over 2,000 years ago. Centuries later some Akan were forced into the western hemisphere during the Mmusuo Kese, Great Perversity/Enslavement era, with many ending up in North america. Akan Ancestral Religion, Akanfo Nanasom, is an unbroken tradition from ancient Khanit and Kamit (Nubia and Egypt), through West Afuraka/Afuraitkait (Africa) to North america wherein our tradition is popularly called Hoodoo from the Akan term ‘Ndu’ (oohn-dooh’) meaning ‘medicine’ from ‘roots, trees, plant-life’ (rootwork). Akan Ancestral Religion is also called Obeah in Jamaica which is derived from the Akan term ‘obayi’. In Guyana it is called Comfa, from the Akan term ‘okomfo’. In Suriname it is called Winti from the Akan term ‘hwinti’. We continue to be possessed by and communicate with the same Abosom (Deities) and Nananom Nsamanfo (Spiritually Cultivated Ancestresses and Ancestors) today as we have for tens of thousands of years. Spirit-possession and spirit-communication is the foundation of Ancient Authentic Akan Ancestral Religion, free from the corruptions of the pseudo-religions of christianity, islam, judaism, hinduism, buddhism and white ill-culture. In this course we examine the pantheon of the Abosom (Deities) and the nature of the Nananom Nsamanfo (Spiritually Cultivated Ancestresses and Ancestors) rooted in Akan cosmology and how they impact every aspect of our lives.
