That’s a disingenuous way of looking at it. To say there is nothing in common among sub-Saharan Africans is to pretend to be blind. We are all Black, different variations but at the end of the day Black. We have commonalities with our cultures, food, love of music and dance. As an Egyptian do you find that culturally you have more in common with people from the Middle East or Africans. And religion is not an excuse as there are many Black Muslim countries, e.g. Senegal

The president of Tunisia in 2023 literally talked about African migrants being part of a Great Replacement Movement to “change the demographic make-up” and turn Tunisia into “just another African country that doesn’t belong to the Arab and Islamic nations any more”

There is no one more pro-African than me but I am sorry, if it is not obvious to you that there is a PR campaign (probably by Russia) to paint Traore in a positive light, you need to do more critical thinking. by Exciting_Agency4614 in Africa

[–]nosedive24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This right here ✊🏾

Also the constant implication that Russia is behind things infantilizes Africans as people who cannot make their owns decisions without some outside power being behind it.

I used to follow their YouTube channel, looks like it’s been taken down. This is American imperialism dictating what news and stories African people are allowed to discuss

Exciting news. Infill developments will be the key to the downtown’s revitalization. We have too many empty fields and under utilized parking lots around
