Division Fuels Exploitation in Africa

The bloodiest war in modern history was not World War II; it was the Congo Wars,

and almost nobody talks about it. Between 1996 and 2003, over six million

people died quietly while the world looked away. No daily headlines. No Hollywood movies.

No global outrage. Why? Because telling that story would force Western powers

to admit how deeply they destabilized the region to control minerals that power modern life: coltan,

cobalt, gold. This is the reality Africans live with while the diaspora

is distracted, arguing about accents, culture, and who is more authentic.

During the transatlantic slave trade, Africans did not just randomly sell other Africans.
