Some white supremacists sometimes feel that their rights as often indigenous citizens are being impinged on by an influx of people who don’t belong among them.
America see’s that one nation that develops a nuclear weapon, even though it has many times more nuclear weapons, is a threat to regional or even world stability.
Some Islamic countries see Christianity as a threat and try to suppress it, even though in “Christian” countries, Islam is allowed to be practiced freely.
African countries, from of old have had their rulers killed, humiliated emasculated and corrupted – some corrupt themselves, but it seems that whenever Africa want to asset itself as a continent, build itself up, to lose the image of being needy, that other powers in the world, simply don’t want to see that happen.
Insightful as always, Al Jazeera’s Shadow War in Sahara sheds light on the shady tactics and misinformation promoted by “the usual players” to keep African nations separate, in need, while they divide and exploit as has become their usual modus operandi.

Scripturally, this comes to mind:
The Lord’s Answer
5) “Look at the nations and watch—
and be utterly amazed.
For I am going to do something in your days
that you would not believe,
even if you were told.
6) I am raising up the Babylonians,
that ruthless and impetuous people,
who sweep across the whole earth
to seize dwellings not their own.
7) They are a feared and dreaded people;
they are a law to themselves
and promote their own honor.
8) Their horses are swifter than leopards,
fiercer than wolves at dusk.
Their cavalry gallops headlong;
their horsemen come from afar.
They fly like an eagle swooping to devour;
9) they all come intent on violence.
Their hordes advance like a desert wind
and gather prisoners like sand.
10) They mock kings
and scoff at rulers.
They laugh at all fortified cities;
by building earthen ramps they capture them.
11) Then they sweep past like the wind and go on—
guilty people, whose own strength is their god.”
Habukkuk Chapter 1, verses 1-11.
Well this is written in the language that described the terrors of millenia ago, yet it refers to today also, although the means of advance or transport may have changed, although America and the West may not be technically Babylonians in terms of their geographic location, their actions embody the spirit of the Babylonians written about in the scripture above. Which empire was the biggest empire ever to span the earth? Don’t people refer to the current day activities of The West as neo-colonialism? Hasn’t The West mocked, murdered and deposed rulers and taken over their lands, and to this day holds exploitative control over them?
Bob Marley said, who the cap fits, let them wear it.
The trick that The West plays is that it can never admit to the past and its devouring nature that has made it what it is today, and as an entity, it lives in a state of denial, where at the same time it is very aware if the need to deflect, mask, alter, and hide the past to justify its position and status in the present, maintaining a perpetual hegemony.
