🇧🇫 Ibrahim Traore on neocolonialism:

‘Those imperialists consider that we belong to them, and that our wealth belongs to them. They think they can continue to tell us what is good for our states, Africa, our continent that suffered so much because of the imperialists. This era is gone forever, our resources will remain for us and our populations.’

Weet niet wat ik hier van vind persoonlijk: voor je het weet wordt dit ook weer een soort deugsignaling o.i.d.: zolang de overheid maar niet actief gaat lopen brainwashen: maar goed, daar zit natuurlijk het probleem ook.

Parlement van Ghana keurt een van strengste anti-LGBTQIA+-wetten van Afrika goed​

In Ghana heeft het parlement een van de strengste anti-LGBTQIA+-wetten van Afrika aangenomen.
De wet zal in werking treden na ratificatie door president John Mahama.
Gepubliceerd:vr 29 mei.
Het voorstel over "seksuele rechten en familiewaarden" voorziet gevangenisstraffen tot drie jaar voor personen met homoseksuele relaties. Personen die "LGBTQIA+-activiteiten opzettelijk bevorderen, sponsoren of ondersteunen" riskeren dan weer drie tot vijf jaar cel.

De wet werd eerder al unaniem goedgekeurd door het parlement in februari 2024, maar oud-president Nana Akufo-Addo heeft toen de wet niet getekend.
