A commission of inquiry into the policies of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank that have entrenched Africa’s debt crisis, undermined public services, and driven inequality.
The commission of Inquiry will hear testimonies on how these institutions’ austerity measures and debt-driven models harm African development, with the goal of raising awareness, advocating for debt cancellation, and pushing for reforms that prioritise people over creditors.
Black People and their Black Hair
The Empire of Wagadu (Ouagadou), more commonly known as the Ghana Empire, was a powerful state in the Medieval Sahel of West Africa, and one of the earliest in written record. With origins in antiquity and a reputation for wealth and glory in contemporary sources, it has long been an icon of Black history, though today it tends to be overshadowed by the later Mali Empire.
This video is part of Untold Black History, a collaboration organized by Jabari from From Nothing with the intention of shedding light on the history of Africans and the African diaspora. Check out the full playlist here:

#kingdom #queens #thykingdomcome
The saying the kingdom of heaven is Your kingdom is One of the most kept secrets. You have heard of the kingdom within you? Yet newly born babies are vulnerable, they know nothing and if not protected would die within an Hour after birth, are they born with the kingdom inside them?
The aged are also vulnerable and behave like small kids.
What happens to their kingdom?
Does it die with them too?
What about those that never believe in this adage the kingdom of heaven is within you do they have it or not?
If someone goes crazy mentally what happens to their kingdom within?
What Is the Kingdom Within anywhere?
Is it the Kingdom of Your Soul,
Spirit or Flesh?
Are you born with It in You?
Or it comes after birth?
If so when and how?
Is it reality or by Faith?
Defining Terms
The significant reality to Kingdom is TERRITORRY
This Territory is called DOMAIN.
“KINGsDOMain “=KING-DOM-AIM –
QueenDom. The Splendour of Kingdoms is TERRITORIAL INFLUENCE.
What or who influences you controls your kingdom even the one within!
Either by a tiny or expansive power.
All Kingdoms EXPAND, Stabilise or VANISH!
A kingdom/queendom is ruled by a king or a queen.
Expanded Meaning of the phrase. the kingdom is within you includes
A kingdom is often called a monarchy, which means that one inherits this position by birth and are the leader, or head of that state-(Consciousness)
What is consciousness-being awake and Your kingdom
You Inherit a potential after birth.
"Your Kingdom" is a phrase that can refer to the personal power and control one has over their own thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. It is a reminder that each person is the ruler of their own internal kingdom and has the ability to govern themselves, make decisions, and have self-control. This can lead to greater levels of success, happiness, and fulfillment in life. The phrase "Your Kingdom" can also refer to one's own personal domain or sphere of influence, such as one's career, relationships, or community. The phrase can be used as a reminder to take ownership and responsibility for one's own life and to actively work towards achieving one's goals and aspirations. To experience the presence of your righteous ancestors and interact with the divinities so as to practice all of these powerful principles that lead to greater levels of success, happiness, and fulfilment in life do not hesitate get in touch with us on

The Meat Lobby: How the Meat Industry Hides the Truth | Investigative Documentary from 2016
In 2015, the WHO listed one of the additives in processed meats as carcinogenic. That same additive was nearly banned in America in the 1970s – until lobbying from the meat industry discredited the scientists. We reveal how, to impede or halt regulations on certain additives, lobbyists have been working in the shadows for decades. At the heart of this strategy are the scientists who collaborate, who receive generous compensation for studies that promote meat consumption. In conjunction with this, those whose work finds health risks associated with meat are ‘shut down’. From Brittany to Denmark, through California and Wisconsin, director Sandrine Rigaud conducted a year-long investigation on the tactics of the meat industry.

ENDEVR explains the world we live in through high-class documentaries, special investigations, explainers videos and animations. We cover topics related to business, economics, geopolitics, social issues and everything in between that we think are interesting.
While the world has its eyes on the Ukraine and Palestine wars, another war has been raging: Sudan is currently suffering the worst humanitarian crisis of recent times. But browse the news headlines on an average day, and you won’t find anything about Sudan.
Why? This war happens to be in a part of the world that very few care about and has been struggling with its identity. My new documentary tries to showcase Sudan's beauty and potential and hopefully get you to care and talk about what has been happening.
You can also directly help as a viewer by sharing this video, speaking about Sudan, writing to your MPs and pressuring them to intervene in stopping the war, supporting the businesses of any Sudanese person in your city, and donating to any of the following trusted NGOs:

HomeTax Sudan was established during the 2019 Sudanese uprising. It focuses on providing food, shelter, and medical aid to people displaced by violence and unrest.

The full-rigged ship was the essential technology that enabled the trans-Atlantic slave trade to flourish. Between 1698 and 1807 around 11,000 ships were fitted out in England for the slave trade, transporting around three million Africans.
But the trade also employed other vessels, from in-shore boats supplying the slavers, to the Navy vessels that protected them. Sickness and disease were constant companions to both slaves and crew. Mortality amongst both was high, from disease, mistreatment, accident and suicide.
Dr Stuart Anderson explores the relationship between ships, slavery and sickness, and considers the measures eventually taken to improve health at sea.
