THE U.S IS THE MOST VIOLENT COUNTRY IN THE WORLD Economist and public-policy analyst Jeffrey Sachs was interrupted during a democracy forum in Greece (in 2022) while discussing the atrocities committed by the US and the UK. First, he highlighted Britain's imperial violence across the globe, pointing out that while it presented itself as a democratic nation, it engaged in ruthless colonialism. Britain's colonial footprint was left in India, Egypt and many other countries throughout Africa, Asia and the Caribbean. Sachs also branded the US as the most violent country since the 1950s, noting its long history of using both covert and overt methods to overthrow governments that are considered unfriendly to US interests. Washington's military operations have been employed to undermine economies worldwide. Furthermore, violent actions by the US and the UK have not ceased. Recently, Washington and London both aided and abetted Israel as it killed tens of thousands of Palestinians. Video Credit: Athens Democracy Forum

THE WEST NEEDS AFRICA! The West has consistently misrepresented Africa as a continent of poverty and in dire need of saving. But it’s quite the opposite: The West desperately needs Africa for its resources. Africa received less than $30 billion annually in aid while losing $192 billion to those same countries, according to a 2014 report titled, ‘Honest accounts? The true story of Africa’s billion dollar losses.’ As filmmaker and writer Mallence Bart-Williams explained in this 2015 video clip, the West destabilised wealthy African states to sell the narrative that Africa is poor, dying and surviving only because of the mercy of the West. She pointed out that the West has nothing to offer. That's why they still have their teeth sunk in African soil. ‘Instead, you should come empty-handed, filled with integrity and honour,’ she says.
