+dyonomite reacher I disagree with you on the maps. Even before whites got to Africa, Tribes had their teritories marked. Maps existed before the white man. Am a religious person, I believe in the bible. So, when it comes to the AIDS propaganda, I truly believe its one of the diseases without cure that the Bible predicted. I dont believe in the propaganda that the Whites introduced it into Africa.

[@UnKnOwN001996]

+Naomi Chumba I cannot agree more, but they certainly did mention that there is a rise of African Oligarchs and this is perpetuated by the years and years of political and economic oppression. When you and your family have been powerless and in poverty for years and somebody offers you a new life surely you'll do anything for that opportunity if you are someone who aspires to lead a more ambitious lifestyle. I make no excuse for the wide spread corruption in Africa but lets place the blame where the blame should be placed (The West and its Allies)

[@afrykanqwin]

I agree. The competition here is between the US and China, African countries are not winning. As an African who believes its out turn to lead our countries better than the former generation, we have to lead with reason and logic. We are watching greedy leaders stealing and complacency is a disease killing us slowly!!!...it drives me crazy to see how China is benefiting as it strives to be a super power. This is modern day colonialism and we have to decolonize. We have to self actualize as a continent and stand up for ourselves. We do not need saviors anymore! If China wants to have projects in Kenya, they need to hire Africans and they need to leave!..If US organizations are going to be housed in Kenya, they should hire locals first...#DECOLONIZE AFRICA!...

The older generation are the ones who cling on to economic models and foreign aid & trade. Unfortunately they're also the ones in power right now. The younger generation (millennials and Z's) are the business developers. We want to do things differently. And we are trying despite the roadblocks the government puts in front if us like excessive taxes and zero incentives and others.

[@purpleglitter9596]

Africa needs to get everyone out like China did all those years so it can become strong on its own.

[@MyDubsteb]

That could work, but China did not become strong totally on its own. they also had soviet help and imported most of the technology from developed countries. China is much further because they implemented a two child policy. The fertility rate dropped from 6 in 1970 to 2 in 1993. This way they could invest all their resources in their children, who could than become much more productive than their parents. Unfortunately most African countries dont invest in their human capital that much. Probably because its difficult with a fertility rate that is too high. But some African countries do this. Morocco, Tunisia, Mauritius and Botswana all have a fertility rate around world average. Rwanda, Kenya and Ethiopia are also rapidly developing because of the declining fertility rate of 4 and still declining.

[@purpleglitter9596]

@@MyDubsteb And now we see that 2 child policy is leaving them without a replacement population and way too many males. China screwed up royally.

[@MyDubsteb]

@@purpleglitter9596 Yes but that is due to cultural preference for boys and one child policy, which was indeed the cause for this. If the average is 2 children, then there is a replacement population and no overpopulation like in the past in China and the rest of the world and now in some African countries.

[@zliu4208]

China did not simply get strong after Mao having gotten everyone out. In fact, tens of millions of Chinese people died due to starvation and political terror under Mao’s rule. It only got strong after Den initiated the “open and reform initiative” by adopting capitalism, reopening trades and playing with the west’s rule.

China is not just dominating Africa, China is dominating the world. Ask the Americans how much of their debt is owned by the Chinese? Ask the Americans how many of their factories had to shut down business and relocate operations to China, to explore their cheap labor and gigantic consumer market? Ask the Portuguese and the Italians how many of their excellent shoe and clothing factories had to close as a result of trade with China? In order to bring balance world leaders should draft better trade regulations. Africa used to have limited options when it came to trade and development partners especially during the time when former colonial masters were controlling most or all means of production. China is offering a better alternative than that which Europe and America combined were unable to give Africa. On a lighter note we all know that the west broke... And they envy some of the deals China is getting in Africa.

China is becoming a superpower ,that is replacing the old European and American colonialist powers I think Africa should develop it's own industries,and train it's people,and become in time more independent Africa is a continent that has the most important raw materials that are needed to the modern industries,so they should use them for theyr own benefit,and not for the benefit of colonial powers

the natural resources of africa have always been a blessing and a curse. 🌍

[@cesarmaurera1]

It is ironic how Al-Jazeera's journalists debate "Empire" in Africa and they fail to mention the sort of leverage and influence that Arab countries (and even Iran) have had on the continent. So you have criticism of France for recently intervening in Mali, but there is absolutely no mention of the financial sponsorship of Arab Kingdoms of Radical Muslim movements from the Touaregs in Mali to Boko Haram(Nigeria). Also there is the perpetuation of the portrayal of Africans as children who need to be told what to do and free from responsibility for what happens in their countries. So overall this was an incomplete overview of the imperial relations on the continent...

[@shemmakanga2352]

There will always be an external force exploiting & influencing Africa if Africans don't wake up & forge their destiny having in mind future generations. Unite, figjht curruption, create their own markets amongst themselves within the continent, add value to products, , educate the masses & crate incentives to reverse the brain drainage, have a common currency, passport to eliminate restrictions of movement across borders, fight to eradicate poverty & so on & so forth.

[@youhanaalikana4464]

Great documentary, In this 21 century Africa people must rise with new ways of thinking, take control of our own politics, economy, education, social issues, history and ideology . The only way it can be done is through educating the next generation of Pan- Africanism. if development comes with price of debt that will make us a salves to our lenders, we don't want development, we rather be living in caves and go hunting and fishing and live with dignity and pride.

[@nzanganare3534]

+Youhana Haider. Here in the DRC many realize this 'development' is actually long hours of urban slavery under the western monetary system. We want all foreign resource companies out of our rainforest so we can leave the urban slums and live back there with dignity.

[@MyDubsteb]

Says the guy who is typing this on a computer, made from coltan out of Congo, which he did buy from those foreign multinationals ;) Those companies are never going to stop mining if we dont stop buying those products. Practice what you preach N'zanga! BTW this is not a western monetary system, debt and money were invented in the middle east millennia ago.

[@nzanganare3534]

As long as they need money to survive, people will continue mining for profit and destroy many of the rainforests/rivers of the world. Some electronic companies purposely make their products break down easily so that people will keep buying. And for your information, I haven't bought any new electronics in 6 years, not lying. I use an old model laptop and cell phone.

[@MyDubsteb]

Nice man, if you repair it if it breaks that would mean those companies have one less customer. I will try to boycot too! But nobody needs money to survive, money cannot be eaten. We need food to survive, money is intrinsically worthless. If you cant grow your own food, than you need something to trade for food.

[@rajajack1058]

I’ve watched 100’s of hours of videos concerning Africa before I visit next year. In fact, I watched this video last year and to revisit it again opened my eyes even further. My eyes see why there are over 10 countries with military bases in Africa. Even India, has gotten into the act. Africa is prime for exploitation and if an African leader dares to challenge the exploitation they are eliminated and replaced by a “friendly” leader who will kiss the ring or die. The question then becomes who will stop them? Or can they be stopped?

Africa must drastically reduce the exporting of raw materials to other countries who will use them in their manufacturing process, to in turn sell those finished products to the African people. Africa MUST become a manufacturing continent, rather than export raw materials, Africa must export finished products. This is the main reason why western nations have failed to develop any sustainable infrastructure in Africa.They do not want a competitor as large as Africa. Africa has more unused land than any other continent, land that could be turned into African owned industrial parks.

There is no such thing as "you guys". There are billions of idiots who are conditioned by the main stream media with their lies, and there are millions of people like me, who use their brain. Western media is all owned by greedy, war mongering Zionists. It's good to watch programs that are not controlled by them.

[@rolandixor]

Disgusting. Makes me disgusted more and more with humanity. Then they turn and they blame us of African descent (we in the Caribbean have the same issues) for our own demise.

[@northeastlad2289]

Its nature. Whoever advances first wins. You think working class Europeans saw any of that gold, diamonds or minerals ripped from your land? This is why they want multiculturalism in the west... it keeps us divided from uniting against the elites aswell as showing how "moral" and "progressive" the elites are while stealing from your ancestral lands.

[@karendegenerous600]

@@northeastlad2289 You nasty LIAR!! The LAST thing we want is multiculturalism, this is throughout a whole 99.77% of native population Europe.

[@karendegenerous600]

It's good news that you are so far away from me and my family and friends - how you see humanity is from exactly who surrounds you, it MOST CERTAINLY DOES NOT MEAN that everyone else is the same as you and your lot!

[@flashlight5695]

This was very enlightening to say the least! Heart breaking to see the term terrorism replace the missionaries and enslave. However God is in control!

Why can’t the terms of conditions with the Chinese be that Africans need to be employed on these jobs? And did you hear what she said at 29:48? France is planning that a decade from now the largest French speaking place outside of France will be Kinshasa. Are Kenyans okay with this?

[@edwardtang1977]

You need infrastructure first, before jumping like India to service industry. It takes steps. Follow China's steps and China's success can be duplicated in Africa. Western propaganda presents China as a taker? China pays well and have forgiven debts to more than 30 countries. China put up satellites for Africa. When a nation gets rich, some get rich first before others. It is entirely normal.

[@tapiwakay]

China has given debts? That's a good thing?

[@Jazzmarcel]

Truthseeker of corse they a benefitting but, just maybe China is helping to develop Africa as indirect warfare against the white supremist! this is why all the trolls come to spend disinformation because they know perfectly well parasite without a host is a dead one!

[@eazydazit]

Truthseeker very insightful of you to see the 1, 2, 3 steps to get there..we africans are emotional bunch to see how to get where we want to to be. if only we can learn from the chinese how they kept their head down until they built their infrastructure so that they can connect fast commerce throughout their country. we africans always get sidetracked by little stuff like few people got rich in the process

whenever we as human beings refuse nto adhere to plain and simple rationale whenever it is at loggerheads with emotions we create problems...there is no reason why France should control African countries period.

For us the Africans

[@happyngulube1871]

This is the type of news they should be telling on every network in the world. Even in school they should be teaching this truth now.

[@TheSimonsheey]

Let African people make the judgement whether is Chinese investment in Africa good for them, stop telling Africans how to think and what to do. you are not their God.

Africa does not need a loan. What AFRICA needs are large scales. Every natural resource needs to be weighed and sold per pound. Per pound equals to currency. This is supposed to be a model. Leasing out the mine and everything that they mine is the foreigners is shortchanging Africa economy.

Africa must form a federation of African states there is no other way out and towards genuine power and continental soverginty. Nkurham explained it forthrightly.

[@monkeydog8681]

Very good journalism.

[@80antonc]

Some back of this documentary make sense and some part is very bias. African countries need to learn from the pass from what the Portuguese, French and English did and start looking out for themselves.

[@dawit2580]

I think Al Jazeera needs to have more debates/discussion like this about Africa. I do absolutely agree with my brother Hold's that African leaders are biggest enemy for Africans. That is the problem.

[@LillysConner]

Exactly what I said in my comment! The overstay brings nothing but instability and ethnic conflicts scaring away potential investors. Any foreign aids to build country goes to personal bank accounts of the leaders and their families.

President Obama wrote in his book that his African grandfather was tortured by British Colonial Government in 1950s for fighting for Kenya's independence from Britain. That's why Obama had refused Brit PM Brown request to have a official State Dinner for Brown during his US visit in 2009

[@johneu3172]

Nelson Mandela fought hard for African freedom from White Colonial Masters who had invented APARTHEID in Africa. Meanwhile in America----Blacks were being lynched for going after White womwn and Blacks had to sit at the back of busues--- not allowed to use "WHITES ONLY" toilets, swimming pools, restaurants, etc

[@johneu3172]

Today--- China pays cash when they buy from Africa--WHEREAS the White Colonial Masters just plundered whatever they wanted for free without having to ask any Africans permission. After all they had machine-guns while the Africans had only spears. Watch the movie---ZULU
