Can Africa Defend Itself from Another European Colonisation?
Intro:
This article is not promoting the recolonisation of Africa; instead, it presents a hypothetical scenario in which Africa was being invaded. No country should be colonising another in the 21st century. However, Africa is so backwards and embarrassingly underdeveloped that it is beginning to look like its only way out of its abysmal poverty-ridden situation is through a form of colonisation 2.0.
When Europeans invaded the various African countries centuries ago, they found people who lacked basic governance structures, national identity, military organisation, budgeting systems, or structured research and development. Basically, a total absence of entropy. They met minimal resistance; what chance do people armed with daggers and spears have against the powerful and advanced British, French, Portuguese, and German armies? The Europeans simply moved in, divided the continent among themselves, and renamed it.
It was Europeans who discovered the crude oil, diamonds, gold, and other mineral resources that Africa boasts of today. After over 60 years of independence, not a single Black African country mines or extracts its mineral resources independently. It is still Europeans or non-Africans who dominate these industries because many African nations struggle to produce basic machinery, let alone the advanced equipment required for deep mining.
So, I ask: if Europeans were to return to invade Africa and recolonise it, would we be able to defend ourselves better than we did with daggers and spears centuries ago? I think you know the answer. The Europeans would have an even easier path than they did centuries ago. Why? Because Europeans have improved and advanced way more than they did then, whilst Black Africans have regressed even further.
Breakdown:
From Nigeria to Senegal, Mali to Niger, Sudan to Tanzania, Mozambique to the Central African Republic, or Angola to the Republic of Congo, not a single Black African country has a military capable of defending itself against Denmark or Sweden. If either Sweden or Denmark wanted to wipe out Africa, they would only need up to 10 years to develop military equipment using existing technology that could overwhelm the continent within weeks. Let’s not bring powers like Germany, France, the UK, the US, or Russia into the equation. Collectively, the 49 Black African countries can’t even produce a pistol independently in 2025. A pistol is going too far; they can’t even make a standardised bow and arrow. Rubber is grown in tropical climates. So Africa produces rubber, but no Black country can make a tyre. South Africa does, but White South Africans powered it. North African Arabs can, but as you already know, they are not Black.
If a nation cannot produce a bow and arrow, a pistol, or a tyre, how can it assemble a military for self-defence? Denmark and Sweden can make warplanes, machinery, submarines, armoured vehicles, machine guns, and every other basic military technology that isn’t even hard to make. Therefore, if either Denmark, with its 5 million people, or Sweden, with its 10 million, wanted to invade or wipe out Africa, they could quickly return to their factories to produce weapons, attack from the skies, and send ground troops to complete the job.
Africa was invaded and colonised by the Europeans centuries ago. You’d think that people who faced such subjugation would have learned from it and built a strong defence mechanism to protect them from another invasion, right? But no! Nothing has been done. There is nothing in place to protect the various Black African countries against foreign invasion. Why? Because the Black African worldview has no place for entropy, the concept of maintenance, planning, and the future. They live in the now and only the now.
All the weapons used by the various Black African countries are either American, Russian, British, Chinese, or from some non-African country. Botswana recently ran dry of medicine to support HIV and other patients because the US, under Trump, cut off aid. The once prosperous white-built South Africa, built over 300 years, which the Blacks have, in 30 years, brought to the level of their cousins in Nigeria, Angola, Uganda, and the rest of Black Africa. You should see Black South Africans directing all the blame to other Black African immigrants in South Africa, when records show that 97% of all crimes in the country are committed by Black South Africans themselves. African countries still rely on American and European assistance to stay afloat, especially in healthcare.
Africans like to use Botswana as an example. Well, I think most have not been to Botswana. It is a terribly underdeveloped country, just like the rest of Black Africa. I have been to Botswana. It produces or manufactures nothing. With all the diamonds, it should have resembled Doha or Dubai, not Ouagadougou.
There is a type of anaemia called “sickle cell anaemia”. It is a severe, inherited blood disorder in which red blood cells become stiff, sticky, and crescent-shaped (sickle-shaped) instead of round and flexible due to abnormal haemoglobin. Sadly, it mainly only affects Black Africans. White people don’t have it. Sickle cells are a result of centuries of Black Africans being bitten by mosquitoes. Over time, their blood acquired the protection conferred by the malaria-causing mosquitoes, developing a defence against malaria. Any child born with sickle cell anaemia is automatically protected from malaria. However, they are sentenced to a life of debilitating pain crises, anaemia, fatigue, infections, organ damage, and stroke, with symptoms appearing in early childhood and lasting a lifetime. Most die early. I mean very early. Black Africans had no idea what was killing them for centuries until an American, a white American called James B. Herrick, discovered that there was a mysterious illness among African Americans that wasn’t prevalent among white Americans. Then, over the years, white people have studied and documented the condition. Not a single Black African has a clue or has researched anything to prevent the spread.
You are born with sickle cells; it is not contagious. When two people who both carry the sickle cell trait (AS) have children, they are likely to have a child with sickle cell disease, which can lead to severe complications and often results in death before age five, or, if fortunate, by age ten. Despite the documentation by the whites on the reasons for this and how to prevent it—simply by avoiding partnerships with carriers of sickle cell anaemia—many Africans continue to have children with this condition.
Including malaria, which has killed more Africans than anything else, was discovered by a white Frenchman, Charles Louis Alphonse Laveran. With all the diseases that are affecting Black Africans, you’d think they’d have research and programmes in the various African countries or a unified African collaborative research centre to fight diseases. But no, they don’t! It hasn’t even crossed their minds. All they do is blame and attack the white man. In fact, if they’d attack their corrupt leadership in the same way as they do the white man, maybe, just maybe, their corrupt and clueless leadership would have felt the pressure to want to do something.
Instead, it is the white man and other non-Africans who are busy pouring their energy and money into researching and developing the cure, then subsidising it for Africans so they can be saved. No one who lives like this can command respect.
Let me digress for a moment: the country of Gabon, with fewer than 3 million people and a landmass bigger than the United Kingdom, with every inch of it rainforest. It is endowed with oil, timber, manganese, iron ore, uranium, gold, diamonds, and rare earths, as well as significant hydroelectric potential. It has a coastline of over 800 km and many islands, with one of the best climates known to man. Yet, most Gabonese live in poverty, shacks, and terrible infrastructure. Now, imagine Gabon employs some white Europeans, Americans, Canadians, Japanese, or South Koreans to come and run the country for them and pays them, you know, like a company’s board of directors appointing a CEO to go and run the company for them. In ten years, Gabon will start looking like the country to go on holiday to for Europeans and Americans. Africans, if you can’t do it, employ Europeans, Japanese, or Koreans as CEOs to run your countries. There is nothing wrong with learning from the best. It takes humility to admit when you don’t know something, but it takes intelligence to submit to those who know better than you and learn from them.
For too long, most African and Black channels have run the Wakanda version of Africa. Oh, Africa is this, or Africa is that. People with the same IQ as West African feral dogs are running YouTube channels with wild claims about how Addis Ababa is now the new Dubai and Burkina Faso is turning into Japan, blaming everything on the white, without realising that their very existence depends on non-Africans. The equipment they use to talk down to white people was all researched and developed in white countries. Even the clothes they wear are not made in Africa. I do what I do because I want Black people to wake up. I have visited every corner of Africa: West, East, Central, Southern, and North Africa. The reality is the same throughout. Someone needs to speak the truth, and that is what I intend to do.
