CHIWANDA

I can’t comprehend how any grouping of people would invite a failed politician like Chakwera as a guest of honour at an event. This is a man who, after securing victory in a change election preceded by nationwide marches for reform, went on to plunge the economy into a profound abyss. He presided over one of the most corrupt administrations in Malawi and across Africa, where billions were reportedly looted. Ultimately, he suffered a decisive electoral defeat to his predecessor, becoming a one term president. He left Malawi without fuel, without forex, burdened by the highest inflation in Africa, economically depleted, and ranked among the three poorest countries in the world. It is therefore perplexing why anyone would consider him a suitable guest of honour at a political summit, especially one purporting to champion change and excellence, for he stands in stark contradiction to those very ideals!

Something for “deputy Israelis” in Africa including the stupid @mkainerugaba from Uganda who is embarrassing Africa to ponder on: There is something deeply unsettling in how easily many Africans are persuaded to dismiss their own history. Since 1952, Germany has paid Israel reparations for the Holocaust, amounting to well over 90 billion USD to date, including ongoing payments to survivors. And still pays around 1 billion USD every year. Yet when discussions arise about reparations for the transatlantic slave trade and colonial exploitation, Israel has opposed such efforts at the United Nations. That loud hypocrisy should give Africans a pause. And still, some Africans insist that we suffer from a “victim mindset,” that we must abandon the past and move on. This argument ignores a basic reality of how nations preserve power and identity. No serious society discards its history. The British do not forget their empire and long history of their monarchy and early founding. Americans do not forget their foundational struggles. China and India draw continuously from their civilizational pasts. Israel itself anchors modern political claims in events that stretch back thousands of years, in particular in laying claim to Palestine which few stupid Africans support based on history. History, for them, is not a burden. It is a resource. Why, then, are Africans encouraged to forget? The answer is uncomfortable. A people disconnected from their past are easier to influence, easier to divide, and easier to define from the outside. Without historical memory, there is no coherent identity, and without identity, there is no strategic direction. It is therefore not surprising that Holocaust history is widely taught and institutionalised, and was forced down our African throats, while African demands for historical justice are often dismissed. Nor is it surprising that some Africans, guided more by inherited narratives than by critical reflection, feel obligated to support foreign interests even when those interests do not align with Africa’s own. At some point, this must change. No one is coming to secure Africa’s future except Africans themselves. That requires clarity, historical awareness, and the discipline to distinguish sentiment from strategy. A people that abandons its past does not become free. It becomes unmoored. And if you would rather forget your history, the future will rather forget you too!

The reason for all these changes on Twitter policies is that on this App, the whole globe is united against Israel and the USA in their terrorist attacks against Iran. It is rooting for Iran and it is showing America’s and Israel’s losses which cannot be hidden. Admittedly, Trump has complained about the bias on media that it is not showing America’s “alleged” wins. The Zionists and Jews that control Elon and this App are unhappy. Hence, they are trying to use monetisation to force people to tweet less about America, the war and their losses and to alter the algorithm. Now, they have introduced a blocking feature for comments based on regions. Why should someone see a tweet, they cannot engage with? Then don’t even show it to regions it blocks commenting. At this point, Elon might even just create different Apps for different regions and dismantle this one. Otherwise, it defeats the whole reason why Jack built a global App to bring the world together so while sharing our diverse experiences and stories, we could also discuss common issues that affect us all as a globe. This is the reason @elonmusk, Trump and Americans comment on issues happening in South Africa regarding land, comment on issues happening in Somalia and Nigeria etc. And this is the reason Africans are commenting on the war in Iran because its consequences on the global economy and global peace affects us all. So stop the hypocrisy because you are losing the war and because the propaganda is failing massively!
