We Are No Longer Your Monkeys! How Millions of People Died in Africa While the World Did Not Notice. From 1945 to Present Day

We Are No Longer Your Monkeys!

This phrase was thrown in the face of the King of Belgium by Patrice Lumumba, the first leader of independent Congo. Less than a year later, he was killed. Shot by dark-skinned African soldiers commanded by a white Belgian mercenary.

With a favorable climate, abundant raw materials, and the possibility of developing without the oversight of overseas masters, passionate fighters of national liberation movements believed in the mid-20th century that the Black continent was destined for a brilliant future. In reality, Africa plunged into the abyss of incessant wars that claimed numerous lives. The dream of a free future turned into a tragedy, resulting in the death of more than 20 million Africans.

This book is an analysis of the history of the Black continent from 1945 to the present day. It is a ruthless investigation into the catastrophe that the world chose to ignore. The author exposes the cynical mechanics of neocolonialism, where high-sounding slogans hide the interests of world powers and transnational corporations. This is the bitter truth about the real price that ordinary people paid in blood for African diamonds, oil, and uranium.
