Mundiya Kepanga | The Child of The Forest • The Voice of The Forest | FULL DOCUMENTARY Kwabena Ofori Osei 60 Views • 2 years ago

Rediscover the forest through the fresh viewpoint of a Papuan chief born in Papua New Guinea: Mundiya Kepanga, the "child of the forest". This traditional storyteller unveils the extent of the deforestation that has drastically accelerated in his country in recent years.

Following his journey as an environmental defender, from his own village to the largest international symposiums, the film delivers a new way to look at the planet: our forests are a universal heritage that we have to save.

Committed to this cause, Mundiya Kepanga becomes an ambassador of the forest and the voice of indigenous people. A call to protect the world’s primal forests, reminding us that we are all the brothers of the trees.

He Left America to Live Off the Land in Ghana
He Left America to Live Off the Land in Ghana Kwabena Ofori Osei 45 Views • 2 months ago

What does it really look like to walk away from the Western world and build a new life rooted in nature?

In this episode, I sit down with Cashawn Myers, Executive Director of the Kweku Andoh Sustainability Institute (KASI), located in Liati Wote in Ghana’s Volta Region.

Originally from the United States, Cashawn made a life-changing decision to move to Ghana and help build a community centered on sustainability, healing, and intentional living.

KASI is not just a place—it’s a model for a different way of life.

Here, they:

Grow most of their own food
Live in alignment with the land
Teach sustainability practices rooted in African knowledge systems
Offer programs focused on healing, wellness, and reconnecting with nature

How Europe Drew Africa's Borders in a Room — The 1884 Berlin Conference Still Bleeds Today
How Europe Drew Africa's Borders in a Room — The 1884 Berlin Conference Still Bleeds Today Kwabena Ofori Osei 5 Views • 4 days ago

In 1884, fourteen nations sat around a table in Berlin to divide a continent none of them owned. No African leader was invited. No African voice was heard. The borders they drew — through kingdoms, communities, and cultures — still define the map of Africa today. And they are still bleeding.
This is the story of the Berlin Conference of 1884-1885, the room where Europe carved up Africa like a piece of property. From Otto von Bismarck's power plays to King Leopold's private horror state in the Congo, from the doctrine of "effective occupation" that launched the fastest land grab in history to the colonial identity cards that helped fuel the Rwandan genocide a century later — this video traces the full, devastating arc of how a few months of European diplomacy condemned an entire continent to generations of conflict, exploitation, and artificial nationhood.
Before Berlin, Africa was home to empires that rivaled anything in Europe. The Mali Empire, Great Zimbabwe, the Kingdom of Benin, the Ethiopian dynasty — these were not empty lands waiting to be claimed. They were civilizations with histories stretching back centuries. What happened in that room on Wilhelmstrasse was not development. It was theft on a continental scale.
The consequences are not history. They are headlines. Nigeria. Congo. Sudan. Somalia. Rwanda. The borders drawn by men who never set foot in Africa are still shaping who lives, who dies, and who profits.
If you want to understand why the modern world looks the way it does, you have to understand what happened in that room.

Nigeria and Biafra (1968)
Nigeria and Biafra (1968) Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 45 Views • 5 years ago

TV special report from 1968 of the Biafran War.from WikipediaThe Nigerian Civil War, commonly known as the Biafran War (6 July 1967 – 15 January 1970), was a war fought between the government of Nigeria and the secessionist state of Biafra. Biafra represented nationalist aspirations of the Igbo people, whose leadership felt they could no longer coexist with the Northern-dominated federal government. The conflict resulted from political, economic, ethnic, cultural and religious tensions which preceded Britain's formal decolonization of Nigeria from 1960 to 1963. Immediate causes of the war in 1966 included a military coup, a counter-coup and persecution of Igbo living in Northern Nigeria. Control over the lucrative oil production in the Niger Delta played a vital strategic role.Within a year, the Federal Government troops surrounded Biafra, capturing coastal oil facilities and the city of Port Harcourt. The blockade imposed during the ensuing stalemate led to severe famine. During the two and half years of the war, there were about 100,000 overall military casualties, while between 500,000 and 2 million Biafran civilians died of starvation.[31]In mid-1968, images of malnourished and starving Biafran children saturated the mass media of Western countries. The plight of the starving Biafrans became a cause célèbre in foreign countries, enabling a significant rise in the funding and prominence of international non-governmental organisations (NGOs). Britain and the Soviet Union were the main supporters of the Nigerian government in Lagos, while France, Israel and some other countries supported Biafra. France and Israel provided weapons to both combatants.
