Nope, history rhymes. My wife’s grandfather and his brothers were also sent to the front by the local church during WW2. The east front that is, to help the nazis against the ‘godless communists’.
“The good white friend” doing what they do best: exploit people and trick them into partaking in the subjugation, persecution and genocide of people.
And if you don’t know, that’s the psy-op/marketing term pushed by Russian and African authoritarians to justify Russia’s imperialistic geopolitical games in the cradle of civilization.
I.e “CIA bad, but it’s okay when the SVR/SSD does it”. Also, east African coastal nations are Chinese vassal states, who also exploit the people of Africa - albeit in a more responsible and less greedy way than the IMF & CIA ever did - which is something even Caribbean statesmen will gladly point out.
Africa was never decolonized. Power was merely transferred to soft imperialism and neo colonialism by way of empowering corrupt African officials, who create parallel societies of poverty, while wagging their bejeweled bony fingers at whatever advantageous foreign foe fit their rhetorical schpiel - all the while selling out their own people for more power and money. I.e what most politicians do, if allowed. Humans are corruptible after all.
Freedom for the motherland and all her citizens, for Africa is motherland of all humans. We owe her a debt steeper than all national budgets combined.

The asshole priests, too.
“Wait? This worked?!”
