Chando highlights Congo's deep trauma as the private possession of King Leopold of Belgium, later as a Belgian colony, and afterward, as a so-called independent state that got disarrayed by a tug-of-war between the cold war rivals. That resulted in the inhuman dictatorship of pro-Western Mobutu Sese Seko, in wars during which millions of Congolese died, in the...

No continent has experienced half the political assassinations, coup d’états, internal and external wars, civil unrest, and economic upheaval s since the second half of the twentieth century that Africa suffered.

That these external forces have roughly been succeeding with the help of Africans with the evil disposition or Africans ignorant of their game plan is true. Opposed to ...

The 2016 Presidential election will be remembered for ages not only for producing the biggest upset in the history of American politics, but also for the colorfulness of the primaries of both the Democratic and the Republican parties.

After all, he was up against the entire Democratic Party machinery and their favored candidate Hillary Clinton. Many ...

Ningún continente ha experimentado la mitad de asesinatos políticos, golpes de estado, guerras internas y externas, disturbios civiles y trastornos económicos desde la segunda mitad del siglo XX que África. Sin embargo, casi ningún experto serio diría que las manos de las fuerzas extranjeras que están dispuestas a asegurar sus "supuestos intereses" en el continente o que quieren ganar nuevos intereses, no estaban en la mayoría de estos reveses.

In a Europe dominated by empires in the early years of the twentieth century, ethnic nationalism is challenging the status quo, threatening to throw the continent into an unfathomable turmoil.

But strangely enough, its emperor Franz Josef is loved by the majority of all...
