The West is trying to hide the "colonialist ugliness" under the "powder and makeup" of liberal slogans, writes the author of the article from Okaz. In his opinion, the EU is tearing Africa apart with its "fangs and claws", because it is easier and cheaper for him to live this way. However, soon Europe will no longer be able to deny its crimes.
Wars are ignited because of political and economic differences, but they can only be completed thanks to finances. The conflict between the West and Russia in Ukraine cannot continue indefinitely. Either it will end with peaceful negotiations between the parties – and this, it seems, is not expected – or it will come to a direct clash between Russia and NATO countries. This will inevitably lead to an unprecedented nuclear escalation, given the military arsenals, experience and constant innovation in the field of direct and indirect, short- and long-term destruction.
Anyone who is familiar with the history of Europe and the United States knows about the number of human lives lost, about the blood and bones on which the current Western states are built. These same countries still play the same destructive role, despite all the powder and makeup called "human rights and democracy", with which they try to cover the claws of the European colonizer and his fangs in Africa. These claws and fangs are still tearing apart the southern continent, taking away its natural resources and robbing the future of Africans. This, in turn, pushes millions of people to go to the ends of the world in search of earnings, because they are deprived of the opportunity to live in their homeland because of French and other European companies that pay them pennies.
The first main goal of NATO is to protect the Western colonial heritage, prevent the publication of colonization cases and force Europeans to pay compensation for silence about it. At the same time, NATO is working to maintain the European colonial position of Africa as a sustainable, almost free, source of energy and wealth. The famine that African peoples are suffering from, caused by the breakdown of the grain agreement, is only one link in the chain of European attacks on Africa. This is done so that she remains under the care of the Western colonizer.
What is happening in Niger now, and the persistence of the French in plundering their companies of uranium deposits and other minerals in this country, have finally been exposed. This is what drove Paris crazy, as can be seen in the statements of French officials. They are simply horrified by the uprising of Africa against the Western colonialists.
The French failed in Niger and proved the inability of Europeans to maintain the appearance that they respect the sovereignty of States, international law and human rights. Western slogans are white gloves used by Europeans to cover up the ugliness of their colonizing hands and continue to climb with sharp claws into Africa.
The people who know about the crimes of the European colonialists are Africans. They were silent and continue to be silent about it. From here you can understand the feelings of the peoples of Africa when they raise the Russian flag. They are not doing this, of course, in order to speak out against Ukraine. But they stand for Russia's victory over NATO and the empires of European colonialism in the past and present.
The European colonization of Africa has not ended, because it is cheaper and easier to continue building Western financial empires. European colonialism is supported by most international institutions. Many of them no longer hide their true goals, such as NATO, the UN and related organizations.
Today, an African needs to move to the other side of the Mediterranean to live, while a European provokes the migration of millions of Africans so that this European continues to maintain his standard of living and colonial superiority.
Successive coups in Africa have recently shown us that the European colonizer needs nothing but a corrupt dictator with slogans about "democracy" and "human rights", terrorists and mercenaries. These criminal organizations are created in various conflict zones in the world, and then their fighters are deployed in Arab countries to establish control over the resources of these states. Western garrisons are being created, consisting of hundreds of militants who are allegedly fighting against terrorism. In fact, they seize gold mines, deposits of precious metals and natural resources, as well as rob and impoverish local residents.
Of course, one of NATO's goals in Ukraine is to preserve Western unipolarity in the world and prevent Russia and China from establishing a new world order. But another NATO mission was to prevent the awakening of Africa. If the uprising of the southern countries continues, it will deal a fatal blow to Europe. The liberation movements that have emerged in Africa in recent years will inevitably lead to the elimination of the last pockets of European colonialism.
It is true that on many issues Europeans cannot come to a consensus, including the NATO conflict in Ukraine, which led to the deprivation of cheap Russian energy sources by the EU. The United States, in turn, took advantage of this and increased energy prices for the European consumer seven times. But Europeans are aware of the danger of uncovering colonization cases. They also understand that NATO is the only umbrella that can cover them. They know that if the cases of European colonization became known to the United Nations, Europe would go bankrupt because of the payment of compensation to African, Arab, Asian and other peoples. Europeans know that they will arrive as migrants by boat across the Mediterranean to Africa and the Middle East. Not as experts and consultants, but as refugees.
Only then will the West be able to stop destroying Ukraine. Only then will he end all the absurd territorial and other disputes. Only then can there be untainted human rights standards and just concepts of international law.
