在非洲内陆小国中非共和国历史上，前总统博卡萨在 1977 年干出过一件让全世界瞠目结舌的大事：他觉得当总统不过瘾，宣布改国号为帝国，把自己加封为博卡萨一世皇帝。 为了模仿偶像拿破仑办一场盛大的加冕大典，他直接花光了国家一整年的财政预算（约 2000 多万美元）：不仅让法国工匠用镀金青铜打造了一座重达 2 吨多的巨型雄鹰宝座，头上那顶皇冠更是镶满了两千多颗钻石。 大典当天，他专门包下几十架次飞机从法国空运来两万多瓶顶级香槟、上百吨牛排和 60 辆全新奔驰轿车，结果大典办完不到两年，国家经济彻底崩盘，他趁出国访问时直接被人推翻了。

My friend saw a Rwandese boy yesterday… webukeledde we are planning a one week trip to Rwanda🙂‍↔️😂

Slavery was an evil in which people from every continent and region participated. We should be honest about the whole history, not select the parts that are politically convenient today, especially given Britain's leading role in ending the transatlantic slave trade. If Caribbean countries are asking Britain for a formal apology for Britain’s role in the transatlantic slave trade, will they also be asking the same of the descendants of African kingdoms, rulers and merchants who captured, sold and profited from the trade? On demands for reparations, whether through cash or debt relief, we have been down this track before. Twenty-five years ago, Jubilee 2000, Drop the Debt and Make Poverty History argued that cancelling the debts of poorer countries would give them a fresh start. More than $100 billion of debt was eventually written off, but many of those countries have since built up even bigger debts. Labour are already spending too much on Britain's welfare state, now is not the time for Andy Burnham to be providing global welfare. There is no reason British taxpayers today should be held financially responsible for things that happened generations before any of us were born. And I have even less patience for political elites in commonwealth countries who don’t know how to make their own citizens prosperous now looking for another opportunity to blame Britain. As Prime Minister, Andy Burnham should be Britain’s greatest defender. Instead, he is writing articles saying we need to confront our history (as if we haven't done enough of that) and considering another formal historical apology. Tony Blair already expressed Britain’s deep sorrow and regret for our role in the slave trade nearly twenty years ago. There is no need to do so again. This is all another navel-gazing distraction. The Commonwealth should be looking forward, not endlessly backwards. That means economic partnerships to make us all richer and deeper military and security cooperation against common threats. If every Commonwealth summit becomes an exercise in presenting Britain with demands for cash then we need to start asking if it is worth the effort.

Rwandese men are sum so SERIOUSS good gracious God 😵‍💫😭Siri how to say MASHAALLAH in kinyarwanda

Press freedom is never served on a plate. It is claimed, defended and paid for. Rwanda's constitution guarantees freedom of expression on paper, but a right that nobody is willing to defend becomes decoration. The @USTreasury has sanctioned the @RwandaMoD and @Zigama_CSS CSS for financing M23. That should be on every front page in the country as you mentioned. Instead the national conversation is about football and showbizz. That is no accident. It is what you get when a muzzled press meets a public that has stopped asking questions. Leaders often reflect the society that tolerates them. People who don't know their rights cannot protect them. People who won't protect them eventually lose even the right to know. Rwandans want the benefits of freedom without paying for it. The price is citizenship: asking questions, refusing the official script, and standing with those who are jailed or killed for reporting.

Umuyobozi wo mu nzego z'ibanze usenyera umuturaage inzu yuzuye isakaye irimo amakaro uwo muyobozi mu bindi bihugu bamumanika ku giti bakamurasa amasasu 5 mu gatuza, kuko ABA ari ikihebe mubindi ,inzu yuzura uri hehe Kuki idasenywa iri muri foundation! Inzego zibanze zikosore!

everytime people say colonisation was a net negative for Africa i always ask them their preferred alternative and how it could have been beneficial. They act like africa was Wakanda before colonization. pre-colonial regimes all belong in the Hague im sorry.
