Centuries of predation on African nations, untold in dominant western narratives

Friday, 11 August 2023 - 10:00am to 10:30am

Jacques and Jennifer revisit the centuries of vicious exploitation of Africa by western powers, and how Africa has been rubbed out of history to this day - except when African nations are blamed for their own struggles, rather than blaming the interference and skulduggery of western countries which would be much more accurate.
