The War Against Boko Haram [2015]
The War Against Boko Haram [2015] Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 22 Views • 5 years ago

Since 2009, the militant Islamist group known as Boko Haram has wreaked havoc in northern Nigeria. Instilling terror through bombings, abductions, and beheadings, Boko Haram is fighting to create an Islamic state in the most populous country in Africa.

VICE News traveled to Nigeria to embed with the country's army as it ramped up its fight against Boko Haram, whose rise has caused a state of emergency. As the only journalists on the front line in northern Nigeria, we witnessed the beginning of the largest military insurgency to date.

Kay Larsen discusses Boko Haram on The Young Turks:

India Once Produced The Finest Cloth On Earth— So How Did Britain Turn the Trade Against India?
India Once Produced The Finest Cloth On Earth— So How Did Britain Turn the Trade Against India? Kwabena Ofori Osei 17 Views • 16 days ago

India once produced the finest cloth on Earth. Dhaka muslin was so delicate it was called "woven air," and Indian textiles dominated global trade for centuries. At its peak, India accounted for nearly 25% of the world's economic output, and its weavers were the highest-paid textile workers on the planet.

So how did Britain, a country that couldn't even produce decent cotton cloth, manage to flip the entire trade on its head — turning India from the world's greatest textile exporter into a captive market for inferior British factory goods?

The answer involves protectionist trade bans, industrial espionage, military conquest, the deliberate destruction of an entire artisan class, and one of the most calculated economic reversals in modern history. From the Calico Acts to the Battle of Plassey, from the spinning jenny to Gandhi's spinning wheel — this is the full story of how Britain stole India's cloth trade and how India eventually fought back.

Congo: The MOST  Brutal and Ruthless European Colony | 2
Congo: The MOST Brutal and Ruthless European Colony | 2 Kwabena Ofori Osei 34 Views • 2 years ago

“A secret society of murderers with a king for a ringleader”.

In 1885 King Leopold of Belgium; an awkward, ruthless, selfish man, was recognised as the sovereign of the Congo. Long determined to carve out his very own private colonial domain, he had alighted upon the Congo - Africa’s vast and unplundered interior. With the help of the explorer Henry Morton Stanley, who had found a way to circumnavigate the Congo’s formerly insurmountable rapids, he concocted a cunning scheme to legally make it his own, while casting himself as a civilising saviour. Yet, despite his ostensibly philanthropic motivations, Leopold’s goal was always profit. More specifically, ivory, and later rubber, and before long a thriving hub of industry had been established in the Congo, bustling with soldiers, traders and missionaries. Meanwhile and most significantly, tens of thousands of Congolese people were being beaten, coerced and essentially enslaved into harvesting and carrying the riches of their land for their European oppressors. Their treatment was barbaric, the conditions in which they were made to live grotesque, and their suffering unimaginable. It was there, in King Leopold's Congo, that for years some of the worst violations of human life in all of human history were perpetrated. A terrible, secret heart of darkness, Until, at last, a young shipping clerk in Antwerp stumbled across something that would change the course of history forever...
