Great video, every detail of African participation in colonisation has to be brought forward , with that the colonisation and enslavement of other ethnicities that are non African, in short if Africans suffered slavery so did the whole world if others victimised Africans Africans did the same, no excuse to hold on to a powerless fake victim/slave identification and a life of blaming

True. The Mexica (Aztecs) were fairly brutal to their subject nations and vassals. Cortes also recruited the Mexica main rival, Tlaxcala. Allies native nobles were treated quite well. As well as Mexica who came to Cortes’s side. For example there is still a Duke of Montezuma in Spain.

Europeans used this strategy all over the world, not just Africa. Same strategy in America and Asia. Blaming diversity is a weak argument in every situation, b/c national identity did not exist anywhere at the time of European colonialism, not even in Europe. For a weaker kingdom to use foreign military aid was also a normal thing at that time. In fact the practice dates back more than 2000 years. Furthermore, Europeans took advantage of the strife amongst ethnic groups and broke many treaties from Africa to America

[@edwardgyasi5676]

Africans did not travel to Europe seeking partners to subjugate Africa. Without Europe's craving for African resources and labour, the question of African collaborators would never have arisen.

[@sasbridgecloserstudent]

This. Because I see Europeans are going to respond to this video without taking accountability for their obsessive and persistent need to enslave and colonize. What do they say what happened with the Native Americans, the Aboriginals in Australia, etc. And also it does not excuse their behavior towards black people. The problem is Africans/black people need to remember collaboration with the Europeans was not for the benefit of their people.

[@Motownphillysk1]

Doesnt matter. There were collaborators before Colonization. Among the different cultures.

[@gamecreaterdude13]

Thank you lmfao. This video sounds like it’s just blaming “ethnic diversity” of Africa as the blame instead of the transatlantic slave trade and European colonial forces desire for labors and human chattel.

​@@gamecreaterdude13 you might be new here but I don't think at all that's what he was doing.

This particular video (at least to my understanding), was showing how the lack of unity in Africa was how those demons were able to exploit & recruit smaller nations to join forces with them so they could finish out their diabolical plan to rip Africa of ALL her resources while creating division amongst her children.

[@grahamaskey5721]

How many people would have thought of themselves as African in this period? How widely understood was it that Africa was a continent with any kind of shared identity? I find it hard to believe that it would have occurred to most people to think of themselves as African until much later so expecting them to unite against outsiders seems entirely misplaced. Colonolisers clearly exploited this highly effectively

[@Aquil84]

And then all of a sudden somebody new comes on the block and starts giving you presents and gifts and explains that they can help you beat up the local bully.

[@brunobastos5533]

because native Africans never get along and keep in constant state of war between the tribes and ethnicities, is only natural that many alie with stronger force

[@uncletruth4529]

The term “African” is being used to liberally in this discussion. With the Nigerian example you mentioned diversity being a set back, so it is fair to say that those various people groupings identified themselves by tribal distinctions and not as “African”. My main point is that being viewed as an African is a new idea that shouldn’t be back mapped into the 19th century.

[@mongaemongo1613]

📝10/10✅ and the author was incapable of explaining or discovering the term “hausa” was a code name not just for Yoruba but his Igbo relatives too. But the author sure knows they’re all “African” until specificities are required to protect their protectorate relatives at the expense of others. E.g the mende or mandinka created the Mali empire. Then the africans destroyed the Mali empire 🕵️‍♂️🧐

[@2013LPN]

That’s the problem, the tribal distinction and separation was so strong the British used that to divide further and conquer. Africans should have considered themselves as one when needed. But they didn’t and couldn’t and still can’t. They sold “other ethnic people” until the British began selling them. It’s interesting that he starts his historical data in 1850, thats about 15 years before the slaves were free in America. The slave trade had thus really ended, nobody was taking slaves anymore. So Those African nations were no longer able to get money selling other black people. They turned on themselves. In America, I consider my self a New Yorker and some fellow Americans from Virginia consider themselves Virginia’s. We are from two totally different regions and cultures. However, when we are attacked we come together as AMERICANS when needed. The civil war made it very clear that we were ONE NATION! Each state has its own government, even laws, …ect…but we are ONE!

[@TimSerras]

At last someone has seen what really happened. Europeans could have never colonise Africa without African help. Congratulations.

[@sasbridgecloserstudent]

That gives no excuses to the unusual and intense treatment of abuse that followed for centuries up to now. And colonization was planned in the Berlin Conference with no African leader in attendance. Africans need to unite and stop allowing outsiders to have access to us and what belongs to us and Europeans need to do something with their feelings of hatred towards black people and obsession with taking what they have no business taking.

[@Javangarveyite]

And your point is what ? I'm getting the impression from you that colonialization of African was justified because some Africans played a part in their own downfall. Well it was European led and a small amount of african traitors helped and this anything unique because in every oppression, genocide and enslavement of people throughout there are always traitors who go against their own people and side with the enemy. Plus there were plenty of Africans nations/tribes who went against Europeans in long wars etc.

[@peterkamau2014]

This is what is taught to Africans in primary and secondary school and is usually a source of much strife considering contentious issues like the subsequent unequal land allocation and power sharing in post-colonial governments still exist. Most African countries call it Collaboration. These subsequent post-colonial governments, some existing to this day, are composed of remnants of these collaborators, whose beneficiaries, now political and business dynasties are some of the wealthiest families today. I am surprised foreigners never learn this. You may have learnt that the Mau Mau were fighting for the independence of Kenya, a nationalistic retelling of the real story. In reality, they were fighting for their fertile highlands which the British had cordoned off for themselves, to grow cash crops like tea and coffee for export and unironically named them, the central highlands. The newly renamed white highlands belonged to the Nandi you mentioned . They then confined the Kikuyu who owned these lands to concentration camps and had them wear wooden blocks of identification while travelling in and out of these camps. Dedan Kimathi, the leader of the Mau Mau had a terrible death, betrayed by collaborators whose descendants continue to prosper to this day.

THE FUTURE OF A PEOPLE Africa has over 3000 tribes, each with its own language, names and unique indigenous knowledges. It's very important for each tribe to carry out their education in their local languages, with collaboration with adjacent tribes, that's the meaning of Total Liberation. Africa must address the issue of Education, Religion, Language and Personal Names. Education should be relevant to the Africans in the fast changing world, which will only be achieved by educational instructions being carried in mother tongues to University level. If you give someone education in a foreign language, then somewhere in that person's psychology you are telling them that they were born inferior! Knowing other languages, as a second language later is a good empowerment tool. Names are a connection to the Ancestors and to the future generations that will be born, when the current generation has become Ancestors.

This same technique was also used with the british conquest of india and to a lesser degree north america. Divide and conquer. This is one reason I postulate that Africa was never truly colonized because very few Europeans ever stepped foot on the continent. So how do you colonize a place when you do not? I'd have your own people move there( with the exceptions of Southern Africa and Kenya) few parts of the continent saw large scale Dorian settlement. They basically exploited old rivalries and old wounds. For ancient enemies to be used by them to conquer the leasing people of a specific region very similar to Coronado and the Aztecs... i want to be resentful...but like you say there was no own Africsnism then... and it's hard to tell someone that your current oppressor is better than this white stranger coming with gifts. I debate with my West African friends. Particularly one from Ghana who is from the Ashanti. As they were very complicit in the slave trade and did not stop until the British determined. It was a moral eviland also contrary to the economic goalsand had to even start a war with the British, which they ultimately lost. Over the right inability for them to continue selling slavesand enemies of the ashanti empire. The traffic irony is ridiculous which lead to our being kidnapped and sent to Americas.😢

Did any of the lesser known African groups get what they wanted out of signing the treaties? It seems to me that the lesser African powers that signed treaties just ended up dissolved. And yet, as you pointed out, it's a tactic that Europeans repeated constantly throughout the continent to much success. Did the lesser African powers just lack the foresight and got outplayed because they thought they were getting a leg up over their rivals, or did they sign treaties with full awareness of what it would eventually mean? And if they knew what would happen, but felt they just didn't have much of a choice but to sign whatever treaty was presented, then we do kind of end up back where we started, with the Europeans arriving and waving their large tech advantage around, albeit with some "carrot or stick" diplomacy thrown in.

Without a doubt one of your best videos. African colonialism is just too complex to use a simple "good vs evil" or "Black vs White" framework to understand it. It's because people still adhere to this framework that there's so much confusion and arguments over who wronged who. The first step for Africans and the diaspora to do is to acknowledge the "Afro-European" Colonization and then try and learn from it, as ethnic rivalries are still present to this day in Africa. Now this isn't to say that some Africans haven't already acknowledge this, it's that this level of information needs to be standardized in every school.
