Algeria’s parliament has passed a landmark law declaring France’s colonial rule a crime against the Algerian people.

The legislation demands an official apology and reparations from Paris for abuses committed between 1830 and 1962.

While the law has no binding legal force on France, analysts say its symbolic and political impact is significant.

The move comes amid worsening diplomatic tensions over Western Sahara and recent arrests of diplomats.

THE WAIT IS OVER. THE NAME HAS BEEN DECIDED. 😀

For generations, we have deliberated in silence, in forums, and in our spirits, asking: “When Africa unites, what shall we call our Great Nation?”

Today, we claim a name that is entirely, powerfully, and uniquely OURS:

🤩 THE UNITED CONTINENT OF AFRIKA. 🤩

When Afrika united, that shall be our name. This is not just a suggestion. It is the revelation 👇🏽

SOUTH AFRICA IS POLITICALLY BLACK, BUT ECONOMICALLY STILL WHITE

Apartheid ended in 1994. Yes, political power changed hands black South Africans now govern the country. But political freedom did not automatically bring economic freedom.

👉 Less than 10% of the population (white South Africans) still control most of the economy:
- Large corporations
- Banks and financial institutions
- Commercial farmland
- Mining interests
- Major retail and industrial chains

This is not because they are “better,” but because history positioned them there. For decades, land, capital, education, and skilled jobs were reserved for whites, while Black people were reduced to laborers.

✊🏿 Meanwhile, Black South Africans are the backbone of the economy:
- Over 80% of the population
- The majority of the workforce
- The miners, farmers, builders, drivers, cleaners, teachers, nurses, and civil servants

In simple terms: Black people power the economy, but do not own most of it.

Yes, a Black middle and upper class has emerged. Yes, there are Black millionaires and politicians. But their wealth is small compared to old white corporate wealth, and often depends on government contracts or partnerships with established white companies.

South Africa chose a negotiated transition, not an economic revolution. Land was not fully returned. Capital was not dismantled. Corporations were protected. Stability was prioritized over justice.

That is why, 30+ years later, we see a country that is:
- Politically Black
- Economically still dominated by white capital
- Socially unequal because history was never fully corrected

This is not hatred. This is not propaganda. This is historical truth.

Political power without economic justice is unfinished liberation. 🖤✊🏿
