Stray Pome (Jack Desa) - We Beat Napoleon (Haitian Revolution Music) Ọbádélé Kambon 51 Views • 2 years ago

A song and video I put together to honor my haitian ancestry and to tell the story of how Haiti became the first independent black republic in the western hemisphere following a successful slave rebellion.
Lyrics:
Nowadays you can die from too much sodium.
We hearing lies from the guys behind the podiums.
but while the whole world is warring for petroleum
we can't forget that the haitians beat Napoleon.
Yup, It started 1791. A whip cracked. A cracker said this is what I need done.
A voodou priest gazed high into the shiny sun
and thought "I'de probably get caught if I try to run.
How can I make it so they'll never be pursuing me?"
He held a ceremony, started preaching unity.
Within 10 days of taking out revenge they
took over the north province. Bondage abolished.
By the next year, 1792
they gained a 3rd of the island since the fight ensued.
Niggas was wildin'. French bodies was piling.
They tried to give rights to the freed to end the violence.
But it was too late. The haitians wasn't giving in
to leave their kin in the condition they was living in.
By seven trey (73) the French was warring with the Brits.
The Spanish took the British side and got up in the mix.
The blacks fought along with Spain.
The French caved and emancipated all their slaves.
It wasn't over tho cuz Britain and Spain
figured they was royalty, was setting to reign.
So a black commander who was fighting for the Spanish crown
fought for the French. Former slaves held him down.
This was in 74. They fought for four years.
Sent the British home running. They was all tears.
In 1800 went to Santo Domingo
and by 01 they freed the slaves from the gringos.
But Napoleon needed slaves.
He tricked the commander and then he had him locked away.
For a few months Napoleion was back in power,
but then a general took wind. Was smelling something sour.
His name was Dessalines.
He led a next rebellion and chased them out the scene
as bodies sunk in the ravine.
Established a republic. Policy was closed door
since the first of the year in 1804.
Big up to Dessalines. Big up to Toussaint.
Big up to Boukman. Big up to Petion.
January the first dont watch the ball drop.
We celebrate our independence. Bring out all stops.
Where my soup joumou at?

Niger Military Leader Demand Chinese Mining Companies To Leave The Country In 48 Hours.
Niger Military Leader Demand Chinese Mining Companies To Leave The Country In 48 Hours. Nana 51 Views • 2 years ago

#africanews #china when the military leaders of the Sahel came into power, Western Media said that they were replacing the West with Russia and China. They said that they are replacing one colonized with another. This is because since they came into power, the military juntas have distanced their countries from the West and drawn closer to Russia and China. But what the West does not know is that these leaders value their sovereignty above anything. In a recent move that has shocked everyone, General Tiani, the military leader of Niger, gave officials of three Chinese companies to leave the country in 48 hours. This is proof that the military leader of Niger is not succumbing to the influence of China. But why exactly did he send them packing? What did they do? Let's find out.

It would interest you to know that China was one of the countries that supported Niger after the coup led to condemnation from the West. According to a former minister of Niger, one of the reasons why General Tiani was able to stand his ground and resist Western sanctions was because China supported Niger. China, with its non-interference policy, made it a preferred choice of partner for Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso. Unlike the West which loves to interfere and play the hero in the affairs of Africa, China prefers a mutually beneficial relationship without any form of interference in the affairs of the host countries. It is this attribute that has pushed African countries farther away from their traditional partners, the West, and closer to China and Russia.


In April 2024, Niger state television announced that the military junta of Niger signed a 400 million dollar deal with a Chinese state-owned oil giant as part of its plan to “diversify international partnerships'' after cutting ties with France and the United States. The agreements, signed by Niger's Prime Minister, Ali Mahaman Lamine Zeine, and CNPC Chairman Zhou Zuokun, provide for the joint marketing of Niger's crude oil.
