The African nations are a great example of what courage is and how all nations need to stop the western bullies.

As an American, it pisses me off that my country participates in these atrocities. I really wanted to Join the Air Force yet at the same time, things like this would have me question not only my Morality, but my integrity as a man.

They are not rebels. They are freedom fighters...

These are not rebels. They are African righteous Patriots.

It's really astounding and amazing that a black African leader from one of the poorest lands on earth could summon so much courage to denounce the barbarian western imperialists led by the hated US by paying homage to the world revolutionary leaders most of whom were murdered by those enemies of humanity themselves!

In Mozambique, ISIS suddenly appeared as soon as the West discovered that the country had natural gas reserves.

"they are not against the people, they are against the government". The government is tied to some of the abusive businesses. Greed is real.

I'm a white American living abroad. I visited Ghana in 1985. I was a guest of a student's family. I'm going to continue to support the African will to improve the life of its own people. We need to learn to listen.

It's nice to see some anti-imperialist resistance. ☺️ We need Africa to RISE UP. Their resources are for their people, not the criminal transnational thieves!

AMERICA MUST PAY FOR ALL THE CRIMES IN AFRICA !!!

Burkina Faso is in our hearts, the African heart Even geographically it is. We as Africans will never let imperialists back again.

Awesome content. We dont hear any of this in mainstream media. As an American, i understand more why American exceptionalism lives on as a strong myth.

Captain Ibrahim Traore survived the 17th coup attempt yesterday. Thanks to God almighty, much love from Nigeria. Soon, we will take our country back as well.
