the life of the average african politician

[romanzolanski]

the Vice President of Equatorial Guinea, who also happens to be the son of the president, stayed at a $75k/night penthouse during his visit to NYC to speak at the UN assembly about lack of development in Africa

he also charted to private plane from Italy for this trip to NYC.

and 3 years ago, during COVID lockdowns, he took his yacht over to the Maldives where he enjoyed a nice vacation on a private island that costs 50k/night to rent.

mind you, equatorial guinea is tiny country with a population similar to Djibouti. If this is how the family of a corrupt politicians from a small African country live, imagine how the politicians from larger countries are living

Brother you have to realize that getting angry at these realities on african leaders is futile they wont change... overtime i realized the world is falling apart and ww3 would force foreign nations to drop their african pet projects. Think on this scale an entire continent 1-2 billion (soon) of nearly 75-80% extreme young and poverty. While elite .001% earn more in 1 hour than an entire year for an average young man...

This young man who can access knowledge on the web. This is a powder keg.. a keg so unbelievably massive that weak divided nations will be swallowed by mass political movements of the future. The strong will dominate and the elite will struggle to maintain control heroes will rise and cruel monsters will lord over the peasants. That is the futre of this continent.

So much opportunity in this continent yet so many dimwitted axmaqs i dont blame them however they were lobbing spears a few generations ago it will take time and the elite will be at the chopping block.

Population of Djibouti, but it has oil sector running. The amount of wealth the ruling class compared to the population leveling state is outrageous.

Africa is full of fake countries so there is no such thing as solidarity between nation and leaders. It’s more like Latin America than Asia or Europe. The armies exist to turn their weaponry on the people instead of defending them.

the only solution is to totally destroy the European creation known as “Africa” and so called “Pan-Africanism” and return the Organic Nation as the organizing principle of society.

Get rid of all of the paper states and create real states

That’s nothing compared how the US, France and Switzerland seized 237 million (!!!) USD a couple of years ago from this very same guy. Everything from luxury cars, mansions, private jets etc.

These countries said that the money will be returned to Equatorial Guinea, but since we don’t trust you or your father (president), we will redistribute back to your people by ourselves

He deserves to die; a nice bullet to the head would be justice. I can't even express the level of disgust I have for such filth.

Somali politicians are the same but they spend their time whoring in Nairobi. For most of them, that's as far as their passport reaches.

His just enjoying life before he gets executed in 20-30 years.

I understand where you're coming from, but we really can't just redraw those borders without triggering devastating wars.

, the rich will stay riching as they say ma garatay

I mean in the long term that's worth it no? War is a fact of this world. All nation states were formed from it.

If Africa wants a future it needs the people and their leader class to take the initiative and form their own nations.

Currently there is no future in Africa.

 

[mohammdov]

Somali politicians are also the richest Somalis in Turkey and Kenya are the politicians. I know one of them. He used to live in a rented house and now he has a hotel and lives in a three-story house even though his government salary was 3,000$. They stole the country.

Oh man, every two days you find a Somali politician circulating a video of him practicing prostitution and vice, some of them are pedophiles too.

Yeah, but what guarantee is there that creating supposedly more coherent States is some sort of panacea to all the problems we're facing.

If Africa wants a future it needs the people and their leader class to take the initiative and form their own nations.

With very exceptions, we really should reform the Nations we have as they stand right now; anything else is a recipe for devastating, evil wars that will last for decades; wars that will consume the lives of tens of millions of innocent souls, mostly women and children.

Currently there is no future in Africa.

War will further darken those already bleak prospects.

Not the whole continent will be a shining beacon.

Having coherent states that make sense will undoubtedly solve alot of Africa's problems.

Sure many will die of course. There's no way to make sense or justify the death that will occur. However it's also worth noting that how many people's are subject in their own land due to these shitty borders, including us somalis. Within a generation I saw one of my cities get virtually colonised by the Ethiopian state. Should we just sit by because war will cause deaths?

So the threat of death through war should make us sit by whilst my race is eaten away at by these states who exist only because of colonial borders made in the 1890s?

Sometimes war is the only option. Tens of millions will die in the coming decades, Africa is unstable and cannot sustain themselves. Their states, their food ect. I feel that war in Africa is long overdue.

Walhy Africa is the richest continent in the world that’s why European, Asian and every other country mentions it. But we are cursed with greedy presidents and the citizens are stupid. I remember one member of the Somali parliament said that he only hire his family members lol.
