It was this pillage, raping, genocide and enslavement of Afrikans that made Europe and America filthy rich - in fact rich beyond their wildest dreams. This ill gotten wealth was the foundation for the west's wealth which lay the ground for the banking, finance and capitalist system that has been in place for the last 350 years.
So if it was Afrika which was and still is the source of the West's wealth and if they are now bankrupt and wanting to re-structure the global banking and finance system, where do you think they will be looking to?
They will not be looking at Europe, or India or even China - they will be looking at Afrika, because Afrika is the final frontier in terms of the world's resources that every country in the world needs to build up its industries and hence mend their shattered economies.
Make no mistake the West, China; India et al will use all the tricks in the book to manipulate Afrikan leaders into giving them these vital natural mineral resources.
The West especially has recently spent tens of trillions of dollars propping up its corrupt banking and financial system and in the process bailing out many banks and companies and has also used a lot of its gold reserves, so they are desperate to re-colonize Afrika to steal its resources.
They will use war, the threat of war, withholding so-called aid money, introducing flawed policies like the EPA's and other instruments to try and manipulate Afrikan leaders.
However, they will not succeed this time - they may be able to make some inroads but there will be a firm no to their demands. This is because the time has come for Afrika to be a power again and history and destiny are on Afrika's side.
As Bob Marley once said 'as it was in the beginning, so shall it be in the end' - just as Afrika was once the world's dominant power, so it will be that Afrika again will become a dominant power because we are living in the age of Aquarius which our ancestors predicted and now is the time for Afrika and Afrikans to take their rightful place in the world - No more shall Afrika be slave to the whims and demands of others.
