Nice one🥳🥳🥳🥳. The More the regions, the closer power gets to the people, the easier the coordination of the government is made, the easier it is to distribute National wealth, and it makes it easier for the population to be politically engaged❤❤❤
I LOVE it! Take back everything, especially the Indigenous names of your land. It's a beautiful thing happening and feels like the country is shaking off the 'sleep' it was under. I hope that when tourism really takes off, those names will be prominent with a history lesson attached. You also are leading the way for those of us who are reclaiming our own heritages as well. The Creator's Blessings on the Captain, his people and his country. Keep rising!
"Divide and Conquer" Africa
The Berlin Conference of 1884-1885
was a meeting of European powers to regulate colonization and trade in Africa, leading to the partitioning of the continent among these nations. It was organized by German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck and did not include any African representatives.

This leader is real Alkebulan
Wow. Talk about getting it right. This is Excellent and heard of, so fundamentally sound that every single country on the African continent needs to do this. He's the best. The haters and detractors are embarrassed and ashamed of their lack of progress in comparison to Burkina Faso and the best president on the face of the planet.
It's easier to build block by block than waiting for one provincial officer to care for larger area. That's where tribalism and religious divisions creep in.
