Freedom from wars and slavery

[Godlovesyou]

In 1850s, 1870s Africans were in a deep slavery and wars with western world, people were captured and took to foreign lands, people were enslaved and kill, people were deprived rights and culture, people were denied self government. Wars between black man and whites was brutal contents and controls, uniform forces were mainly shuffled by whites in authorities to control the blacks.

Now over years, Africans have gain freedom from wars, fears and slavery but Africans has not be free from and within themselves. Hatred, killing, indirect slavery, wars and rivalries still exist within us, no good government, no incredible elections, no honest leadership, no sincere development, questionable and unhealthy education.

Are we true free Africans? Whites do you think you're still the cause of our slavery mentality? Let's argue this deep guys

That is not country that is been liberated from a wall or have independence without a very big war so I believe that that is not freedom that comment is it's always come by force and also struggle so therefore I believe that before you redeem your powers and anything you are doing in most athlete how a very big with any country that you find yourself

[Lordhermes]

No human race are without wars or slavery. But determination and hard work keep us going.human was born with a bad life and greed. Some of the wars are fought against oppressors. Some wars are functionals they give birth to freedom and independence.  Yeah, peace is the best option, and bargain is the best approach to prevent war. But if the war will bring about peace and love then it worth fighting for.

Your question OP is very annoying because as an African I know what is happening in the continent. I am sorry for sounding rude, this is because of the political drama that is unfolding in my country. You are not out of place to assume that developed nations have a level of political and economic control or influence on Africans. But this influence is still potent because Africans have refused to develop. We are not the only continent that was colonized. India, Indonesia, and other countries suffered under colonialism and today they are far better than Africans both politically and economically.

Africans like playing the blame game. Is it the Europeans that rig elections in Africa? You feel it was the whites that told your president to change and amend the Constitution so that he can become a life president. When your political and economic leaders are looting and exploiting the country, was it a European that is the minister of finance or minister of mineral resources?

Africans need to stop this blame game and take responsibility for their development. Most African nations have been independent for over fifty years. And if a fifty years old man keeps blaming his parents for his failure then he is highly irresponsible.

These things are library cause by divisions of economic position and power, no good relationship existing among nations no matter how close they tends to be. Wars, slavery and crisis are all interest certains curve some oppositions to ravage the resources of others when you're submissive to them or if you're their colonies. Colonial masters have play their parts remaining a good restructuring among this colonized states for even or equal freedom to occur.

When making post like this, don't generalize it. Even though you have valid points, I still feel saying Africans as a whole are still in their slavery mentality, that's generalization.

There are good number of African countries that are doing good in terms of development, good governance, honest leadership etc.
Next time be specific and name the countries, this will make them improve.

Regarding slavery, much of Africa has some form of slavery. None of Africa that we see in general news has any official slavery.

It's hard to erase hundreds of years of tradition. In places like Western Sahara, there almost doesn't seem to be any government enforcing anti-slavery, even though 'no slavery' is on the books of what little government there is. It's the wealthy slave owners that seem to rule the land, and they are as quiet as possible about slavery when talking to people from the outside.

Further, the slaves often don't know any other life. They have been born in slavery, raised in slavery, and for them slavery is all there is. They have a difficult time even understanding what freedom means.

However, and here is the big part. In places like the West (the US, Canada, and all of Western Europe), even though the people are reasonably free, they are all slaves to the banks and governments after a fashion. And their enslavement is bringing wars to them, and bringing them to wars, as we see with their Ukraine involvement.

Perfectly said #lordhermes. But it's now a crying shame that the oppressors never get tired of their work. The worthy war we stand to fight never ends. In Nigeria, we say the war is against slavery . we are enslaved by our leaders, no empathy,  no conscience. People now go extra mile just to achieve selfish desire and leave the majority in distress. War and slavery never ends, we experience it in different category of life.

You are Right, the 1850s and 1870s were marked by significant injustice and oppression of Africans by Western powers. At this time, many African people were forced labor, and violence. Many were taken from their homes and transprted to foreign lands to work under harsh conditions with no freedom or rights.

But It is important to acknowledge and remember these historical injustices and work towards promoting equality and justice for all peoples, regardles of race. We should strive to learn from the past and take steps towards creating a more equitable and just society for all.

Can you name any African Countries that have all the three achievements you listed above and are now "First world countries"?

The truth is there is still a new form of colonialism on African, South American and Asian Countries, but you don't see it. And it all starts with economic control by the West.
Before we even go any further, Why is the West still clinging onto looted artifacts carrying centuries of Cultures and traditions from the former colonies?

Indeed we are Africans and we are free from slavery gone are the times when humans were traded we treasuries or other gain and on the other hand of bad governance I think it is a gradual process it is something that has eaten up our flesh as Africans but I thank God today that we have to come to realize our right as a continent we are offering the same race and our culture is as well different from that of the Europeans and the Americans it is time we wake up and work towards our goal now we have gained freedom from our colonial masters it is left for us to build our nation slavery didn't started if not for our early father's who accepted to enslave their children in know they were misguided and mislead but this has been put to an end I don't think africa will ever experience war or slavery any longer in most  africa countries today there are a lot of talented youth only left to be sponsored what they think of every day is how to create content and make history

Everyone needs freedom, we need to have this opportunity to express ourselves, feelins and takes on life itself, but in this modern world, there are many ways of modern slavery which comes in various forms to people, war can cause modern slavery, because the most powerful opponent tend to exercise force against its victim when there's war or any means of displaying authority over others, many take advantage of this as well to enslave their victim.

That was in ancient time when Africans we are not civilized so anything can happen to them because their we are like animals but right now I don't think that those kind of things will take place again in Africa so some countries or some places that are not are not civilized has been marginalized in government also is accepting that happened during slavering time

Some African countries mostly the Northern part are better developmentally than other parts. Before the invasion and destruction of Libya by the US and NATO, the Libyan economy was better than some European countries. Many Africans preferred to migrate to Europe when Muammar Gaddafi was in power. It's a shame what the West has turned Libya into today. The war in Libya is destabilizing the entire African continent.
South Africa and Rwanda are not also doing badly. South Africa, although its economy is going through some problems, can boast to be one of the emerging economies. Rwanda is experiencing massive economic growth and development. After the civil war that killed thousands and destabilized the East African nation is putting aside tribalism and focusing on multidimensional development.

Most Africa countries that are suffering due to bad government or suffering due to the greed of government and embezzlement of public funds by leaders are still suffering under slavery,am sorry for saying this. Some Africa countries dictate for their citizens on how to live their lives and if you don't obey,you will get killed,or if you come out to say what  the government is doing is bad,your tongue will be cut for speaking.

In my country the leaders in power does what ever they like and they are also above the law because they have bought the judiciary  over which is the hope of the common man. Government can come up and give some laws that will make the people suffer at yet,the citizens can't come out to say no. This is the highest form of slavery in disguise.

Imagine before the past presidential election, there was no circulation of cash and the reason is that they don't want vote  buying. During the election INEC didn't coordinate it as they promised,instead the election results was released after three days. This shows that there was no transparency like INEC claimed and that they election has been rigged. When citizens are not given the right to choose the leader that they want,instead the electoral body chooses a leader for the people,it is the biggest slavery because the new leader will only come to add more suffering to the citizens by looting the country funds and selling the countries property for themselves.

I am not African but I can understand your feeling, I am from the developing countries that were occupied by French colonialism in the last century, so I can understand what you are saying.

Yes, I think that it is difficult to get rid of the remnants of colonialism and slavery within a short period of time. It may take more centuries for the nation to rise again and get rid of these remnants that the colonial peoples drink like children drink milk.

Let's hope that the future is better and that the younger generations that will come after us in every generation will try to overcome all this.

I think it will take centuries for the African nation to really have freedom from wars and slavery from what I see all their political leader doesn't want slavery to end. Although, we have not seen people who are captured, put in chains, and ship out of their country but the African leader's way of governing the country is technically enslaving their people while enriching themselves.

Most white governments have given black nations independence and liberated them from slavery for decades. Some African countries that were liberated later are doing far better than those that were liberated earlier. I believe that most African's mentalities are still entitled to slavery. Leaders continue to enslave their people, who are supposed to be looked for and provided for.

The disparity in the growth of each African nation is related to the perspective that each of the leaders has about their country's success. Africans still have a long way to go if they do not overthrow bad leaders through revolution and cleanse their countries.

[BADecker]

Many people of many African nations have already embraced freedom. They have done it through accepting Christianity and the Bible. Galatians 5:1:

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

Check into what this freedom is about. It is a kind of freedom that builds governments correctly, and goes way beyond governments. There are many Christian churches throughout Africa.

I think I will disagree with you in this because slavery never be a war between two countries or between a country 11 is kind of functional treatments maltreatment giving to people.
