I apologize if I'm not going about this the right way, but I'm not sure how else to ask this. To the older members/elders in the community, I wanted to ask how the issue of immigration was dealt with between Ghana and Nigeria specifically. As a young(er) South African I was hoping to understand the actual cost of what the loud minority of zenophobes are doing to the people affected. This wasn't why I initially went looking though. To be honest, while I understood the hostility towards us, I saw it as unfair. So I went looking for information and policies that seemed similar to what is happening in RSA now. And I found a few, specifically the "Ghana must Go", Ghana's own expulsion program of Nigerians and the more recent "Nigeria must Go" protests respectively. While looking at these issues I heard one or two stories from the people about living though those times, and how painful and dehumanizing it was. So, I hope to find more of those stories if possible. Are we (South Africans) repeating what happened all those years ago? Are we doomed to repeat these missteps until continental corruption is dealt with. And (this might be my hurt talking, so please forgive me) why is it that though so many African countries have seemingly gone through this issue, is South Africa being considered a complete pariah, being compared to Argentina and Israel of all places? Again, I only hope to understand the situation. I think I've been looking for answers alone too much, and I haven't stopped to ask enough. I apologize again if this offends or was treated without the necessary care that this history and these topics deserve. Tldr: How was the situation in Ghana and Nigeria during the Ghana expropriation act(not it's name, I can't seem to find it now) and the "Ghana must go" act. How were you affected by those times and processes Is your experience part of or the whole reason South Africa is being spoken about the way it is. Immigration has seemingly been an issue throughout the continent and throughout time...why is it that South Africa is (seemingly) being cut off for the same thing other nations have done and are doing to this day? submitted by /u/Colderofficial [link] [comments]

Submission statement: African involvement in Russia’s war against Ukraine could be far higher than previously thought. The Ukrainian government says nearly 3,000 fighters have been recruited by Russia from across the continent, and more than 300 have been killed on the battlefield. Back home, only a handful of governments, including Kenya and Ghana, have publicly pushed back, raising concerns over recruitment and the fate of their citizens. But for one group, the uncertainty is even deeper: those who’ve been captured. submitted by /u/decompiled-essence [link] [comments]

This is Lesotho🇱🇸, also know as the Kingdom in the Sky, the only country entirely above 1400m, and only one of the few African countries to experience snow. So you don’t have to go overseas to experience snow, we got you here. 😊 submitted by /u/Consistent-Camel-717 [link] [comments]

I'm Gen z, so the version of Africa presented to me—through global media, compromised school curriculums, and Eurocentric history books—was lacking. I was taught that history only truly "began" with colonization, and that anything prior was just a blank slate of struggle, devoid of sophistication. But lately, I’ve been unlearning. When you strip away the colonial gaze, you realize we didn’t just have "cultures"; we had massive, thriving, highly sophisticated civilizations. And honestly? The more I learn, the more I find myself wishing I could experience pre-colonial African life firsthand. We are currently trapped in a fast-paced world that measures human worth purely by productivity. Pre-colonial societies often operated on a profoundly different relationship with time, community, and nature. Life was communal, grounded, and deeply intentional. Think about the sensory experience. The air, the food, the sights, and even the smells of an environment entirely untouched by industrial pollution, systemic toxicity, and concrete jungles. There was a harmony with the land that we can barely conceive of today. Our ancestors had complex governance structures, brilliant architectural feats, advanced agricultural systems, and deep spiritual traditions that centered human dignity and community preservation over exploitation. What do you mean Women in Uganda perfected C-sections centuries before studying for seven years and technology! (The same primitive Africa oo.) I feel like the closest I'm ever going to get to this will be Ethiopia. I've been researching a lot about Ethiopia, the fact that they were never fully colonized, and they are running on systems that are completely indigenous. As a Nigerian, I find it so refreshing. I also recently came across a creator on Tiktok who reads the Ethiopian Bible. Because of that, the Bible makes so much sense to me now. I now see the over saturation of standard prints. Wanting to experience pre-colonial Africa isn’t about a naive, romanticized "regression." I know that there were wars, slavery and all that (I'd rather be a slave to my Queen, than in a white man's backyard 😅). It’s more about recognizing that our ancestors had a blueprint for living well that was violently interrupted. It's about realizing that the modern, Western way of structuring society isn't the "default" or the pinnacle of intelligence. I’m curious to hear from others who have gone down this rabbit hole of unlearning. If you could step into a specific pre-colonial African empire, region, or era for a day, where would you go, and what aspect of daily life do you wish we could bring back into our modern world? For me It's definitely the Benin kingdom. Have you seen the walls, the art, the diagram of the Oba's palace! If black magic could take me there. 🫥 My dad is Bete and my mum is Igbo, but I know that if I were to do a tribal ancestry test, I would find some Benin in me. Don't even get me started about Zazzau! submitted by /u/halloffamous [link] [comments]
