African leaders have issued a powerful warning to global powers, demanding an end to the exploitation of the continent’s mineral wealth. Leaders, including South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, and UN chief Antonio Guterres, called for a reset in global power relations. They warned against a new form of “colonialism” driven by demand for critical minerals, debt traps, and unfair trade. The message was clear: Africa will no longer accept plunder, dependency, or domination. Leaders urged equality, sovereignty, dignity, and true partnerships to shape a fairer global order.

"anti colonial uprising" as if they were a bad thing 😂
They're not even hiding it anymore which I guess is a good thing because knowing one's enemy front and center eliminates all doubt.
They will never change Africans home and abroad should be fully prepared to face them this time
Only in words. Cameroon is open and free as Chinese and France UAE steal from it every minutes
Melony is a trickster, doing all she can to stay in power. She cheered the US illegal terrorists invasion of Venezuela
Don't be weak Africa. That's sounds like begging. Only the strong survives .
Ramaphosa is a hypocrite, he is allowing neo colonialism in South Africa Hence the poverty and hunger of black South Africans , allowing his white private sector to take charge of everything! electricity, manufacturing, mining countinues to be dictated by tgem and tge West , what is he talking about, there are nearly 14 millions black South African s without jobs, doctors, teachers, other qualified graduates sitting at home , he has failed this country !!
Could sense the Kenyan reporter brought discomfort when she mentioned Ibrahim Traoré. The narrative immediately changed rushing to end the reporting
#The people of Africa and the continent as a whole, is brutally exploited by its own "leaders".
Many blame the West or else, but who is on the throne? Who borrows money from IMF or World Bank to buy arms (never food or agricultural equipments) to kill his opponent or fight with his neighbor country? Who has stolen Africa for the last 60 years? Please!!
Look Equatorial Guinea, Cameron, Eritrea (a forgotten country, and enslaved by one man for 34yrs), Congo DR (no words), South Africa itself (a violent country), Nigeria (monsters), Egypt (an active arm smuggler country), Ethiopia (ohhhh… Better not hearing)…Not to mention the long peaceful nation-Tanzania is under a ruthless woman. We find no pure managed country in Africa. May be small countries such as Seychelles, Comoros in addition to Botswana and Namibia, are becoming more democratic exemplars.
But why we adher to our leaders blaming the West or Pro or Post-colonialism (Neo-colonialism), as the main cause for African underdevelopment?
Leadership in africa, tribalism stupidy and cowardice, add greed and selfishness lack of integrity and morals,
YOU KNOW MAYBE BETTER THE OCCULT IN GERMANY NATIONAL SOCIALISM BOOK FORTS OF CANADA BLACK WOMAN ANKLE GOOD NOT SHOWING
Ramaphosa statement is a statement of a weak man. Strong man prepare for war not speech
☯🪖TRUMP, RUBIO, HEGSETH, JD VANCE, are in a terrifying complex. They suffer from dementia which characterizes their form of governance by an acute brain infection.
There are several signs in their current behaviors stemming from what they consider to be the frustrations in their past, and that they want to avenge with all their might, episode by episode, since their childhood, LIKE ONE WOULD TAKE REVENGE FOR BAD TREATMENT BY PARENTS, FRIENDS, TEACHERS, OR EVEN BY EMPLOYEES AND COLLEAGUES. Marco Rubio, in Munich (February 2026), calls on Europeans to recolonize Africa, as in the past. According to him, Africa belongs to a civilization that exterminated millions of Native Americans and Africans to steal their lands. Without hiding his true intentions, citing his mentor Trump, he urges the rest of the white supremacist world to eliminate Black people! He claims that the American people of the USA are a plague on the world; their goal for the past 500 years has been to eliminate the Black race!
Before going any further, it was the leaders of several countries who made them vassal states of the United States, and not in the opinion of the peoples of the planet!
The peoples of the world do not fear the United States, they do not care about sophisticated weapons, nor about their planes to the tune of billions and totally useless, nor about the powerless army in face-to-face and land conflicts, from this belligerent country, which has been attacking the world in endless wars, since 1945!
>>Here are some of the reasons why they need to get rid of the "defeats suffered by the wickedness of the world":
1.- TRUMP, RUBIO, HEGSETH, JD VANCE, styled like a certain militia of the years 40/45, methodically prosecute all people who would have made them suffer what they consider to be failures, but that the most common mortal endures, and let's not make a world history out of it.
2.- TRUMP RUBIO HEGSETH JD VANCE, carry a superiority complex, and believe that they are the only ones to have "suffered" what they consider to be reductive attitudes on the part of, for example, a teacher, who would have given them a bad grade 20 years ago or 10 years ago.
3.- They return since their accessions to power, to all the people who would have put them in mental inferiority, they show themselves in the places of life of all their "executioners", in person, or by government decisions, in order to show success in their lives as the leader of a world power.
4.- The complex of TRUMP, RUBIO, HEGSETH, JD VANCE, is only there at a minimal point, in fact, their psychological battle is visible in the mode of CEREBRAL GOVERNANCE that he adopts in broad daylight.
5.- I'm going to go a little fast, by announcing right away that these are characters in a hurry to fight, and that they will go in the course of 2026 (especially towards the end) to failures in practically all their policies, all branches combined, we are going to witness a world first, THE SHAME THEY WANT TO WASH THEIR FACES IN FRONT OF THOSE WHO WOULD HAVE MADE THEM SUFFER, WILL BE TRANSFORMED PRECISELY INTO THE SHAME SO MUCH AVOIDED ACCORDING TO THEIR PSYCHES, AND MENTAL "STEEL", THAT THEY PUSH TO FORCE THE LEVEL, AS BEING ABOVE THE AVERAGE HUMAN BEING…
6.- They have all gone back to harass their former colleagues, professors, employees, military administrative offices, high-tech institutions, former heads of state of the USA and the world, former and current governors, generals, journalists, they are so self-conscious that they attack everything that lives on earth, even chimpanzees, all of nature, without any knowledge of its importance…
7.- They harangue these people in a personal way, and are above all, TRUMP, RUBIO, HEGSETH, JD VANCE, are mostly obsessed with attacks by the media, and on a global scale, as if they have just a few months to live, and that the world must see their power in the face of everything they want to accuse of "bad people, incompetent", and not deserving to live for those closest to us, but also for most of the billions of us!!
8.- TRUMP, RUBIO, HEGSETH, JD VANCE, give themselves the right to life of countries, peoples, all objects on the planet, as well as our beliefs.
9.- I don't have a place to spread everything, but Marco Rubio, believing himself to be smarter than us, says that Cuba doesn't know what to do with the country, the people, its economy, etc. while the USA gives them what they need to develop!!
They really take us for Mongols, CUBA, under American sanctions for 70 years, an abomination, a cruel act, that no country has ever inflicted on another for millennia, but that the Americans execute without any mercy!
More ignorant than RUBIO, there is no way to ask CUBA to develop, trying to demonstrate that the USA is giving it a chance, it is really the psyche of these people, TRUMP, RUBIO, HEGSETH, JD VANCE, that is wavering, they have the reasoning of 12-year-old children.
10.- We all know that the world is not running as it should, because dozens of countries in the world have been under American sanctions for decades, and that we have to hide to survive, an aberration, a shame for all the countries of the world, vassals of the USA!
11.- For my part, as soon as they open their mouths, they come out with nonsense, unrealistic actions, unsuitable for the rest of the world, words of unheard-of violence and malice, never experienced before, TRUMP, RUBIO, HEGSETH, JD VANCE, are devils reincarnated, literally and figuratively…
12.- TRUMP, RUBIO, HEGSETH, JD VANCE, styled like a certain militia of the 40s/45s, are racists, haters of their own origins, AN ANOMALY THAT DEMONSTRATES THEIR NON-BELONGING TO ANY HUMAN BRANCH OF THE PLANET, WANTING TO IDENTIFY THEMSELVES AS WHITER WHITES, having never EXTERMINATED THE INDIANS, NOR ANY OTHER RACE!!
13.- TRUMP, RUBIO, HEGSETH, JD VANCE, styled like a certain militia of the years 40/45, PUSH THE EUROPEAN UNION TO RECOLONIZE AFRICA, AND THE GLOBAL SOUTH, TO WAGE WAR AGAINST CHINA, RUSSIA, NORTH KOREA, IRAN, SOUTH AFRICA, etc. WITHOUT THERE BEING A DESIRE TO EXTERMINATE THE REST OF THE WORLD, A NARRATIVE THAT THE UNITED STATES IMPOSES ON THE BACKS OF THESE COUNTRIES "ENEMIES" OF THE WORLD…
14.- TRUMP creates a "Peace Council", OUT OF SIMPLE BOASTING, LIKE EVERYTHING THEY DO, because he was frustrated during his first term. He did not want to be "followed by the UN, NATO, or the EU. An idiocy, in a world that they have been setting on fire and blood for 80 years, never seen on earth, by a single people against the world!! People with complexes for ALL their lives, who absolutely want to show an extraordinary intelligence, TRUMP, RUBIO, HEGSETH, JD VANCE, ETERNAL LOSERS. They govern by "self-esteem", and not for the country or real intelligent diplomacy.
15.- They will annoy the world by annoying Kim Jung Un, then they will annoy some African countries. They will try to impose themselves in the global infancy, as well as on the Internet in a totalitarian and dictatorial way, to dictate their rules, WITHOUT FORGETTING THAT THE BLOCKADES OF WORLD TRADE WILL BE ACTIVE AT SEA AS WELL AS IN THE AIR, WITH INTERCEPTIONS AND SEIZURES ALL OVER THE WORLD, AND OBLIGATIONS TO NO LONGER TRADE WITH COUNTRIES IMPOSED BY THE USA, everything will get worse!! Accompanied by the destruction of seized materials and logistical infrastructures, and war on the countries that do not comply!!
16.- TRUMP, RUBIO, HEGSETH, JD VANCE, they are hillbillies who land on forbidden land, who have in their hands powers that are beyond them, and who will use them in a disproportionate way, who will make the values acquired by their ancestors over the last 400 years be lost, they are dazzled by "power", and moreover believe themselves, immortal.
17. The Americans of the USA, a people who kill throughout the world, like a sport, a civilization based on firearms, and who kill each other morning, noon, night, leaving very young children to become criminals, killing their classmates and teachers, without remorse, they are a dangerous people, who moreover, now force the European Union to do the same, according to Trump, then recently Rubio in Munich, an irony.
18.- Trump and his followers are convinced 1.- that he is the best president of all time, reactivating the hegemony of the USA over the world 2.- that he is bringing back the war for the possession of the land, being the proof of their evolution since the extermination of the Indians, the capture of part of Mexico. 3.- The European Union is made up of white traitors, and cannot be part of the AMERICAN PEOPLE CHOSEN BY THE ETERNAL, who have a power that obliges them to be the undisputed master of the Earth, and of the Galaxy, without sharing! Thank you. Somwé KITENGE, 18.02.2026.
I’m sorry but our African leaders are the ones to be blamed for the exploitation of African resources. For a change to come, they will need to reform their leadership strategies. Europe will continue to develop news ways to exploit us if you’re not smart enough to change how you deal with them. I don’t trust this sudden new posture of Europe. It is still another means to exploitation. I don’t trust them but I don’t believe in our naive and uninformed leaders.
I hate it when we come out sounding like we’re begging them to buy our products at our determined prices instead of their given prices. A seller and a buyer who must determine the price? What kind of nonsense is narrative. We have our gold and our cocoa, our Diamonds, etc. we should price them the way we want. If a buyer can’t afford it to hell with them. Why must we beg them to price our products according to how we want. Nonsense!!!
No co-operation without reparations. They can never be trusted.
Why are other Africans quiet? Its always South Africa that goes against the racist imperialism and other hide, little shit useless leaders
There should be raw materials export bans across African countries. If Rolex want to make gold watches using South African gold they should set up their factory in South Africa. If chocolate companies want Ghanaian cocoa they should set up their company in Ghana
The problem is that we Africans expect fairness😢in the world. The world is inherently unfair, we have to respond in that way as well for them to take notice. Because then we will be speaking their language.
China is exploiting Africa like crazy right now, and people seem to be cool with it. But they always love screaming "the West". Who did this to us? What juju is China using?
Africa belongs to Africans we Africans must never again back down to the imperialists criminals, we must control our own mineral resources and rebuild our Motherland MamaAfrika, we must trade with who ever is in our favours as Africans, our resources must be sold at valuable prices in order to make Africa the greatest place on the face of earth, Africa is rising and we can never be stop again from rising.
I prefer Malema not Ramaphosa as an African from East Africa
Please don't let this Italian fascist in your page!!! Guttereze is the out of the same coin colonizers!!!! We need to get rid of this Neo Nazizst
Africa leaders are mad and stupid. What are they doing
