For folks in the DMV who are interested in the political/economic reasons for much of the chaos in West Africa (Senegal, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso), you have to know about the currency imposed upon them by the French at independence. This film is fantastic. Saw it during the New African Film Fest and there is a special showing April 8 at Sankofa book store in DC. Q&A with the director:

@GreenFire Exactly. And this is a problem among the Black extreme left who celebrate when armed coups kick out Western aid. Here I'm not arguing that the west is good, but these groups fail to recognize or even consider the fact that the Russian Wagner group is supplying much of the military might behind these coups. And the Wagner soldiers routinely kill women and children in Africa.

Africa needs to be free, like Ukraine

@amerika @GreenFire Before I block you I want you to be educated. Ukraine is a country. Africa is a continent. It has 54 countries.
