Africa

As we know, in the last G20 summit, which was hosted by India; the prime minister Modi made it clear the African Union should join and use their voice to address their issues, which have historically been ignored.

What do you wish Africa Address? The continent is vast and most diverse, yet many of their issues have been neglected!

Hello,

I am trying to learn more information about the Kingdom of Aksum, specifically between 500 and 550 CE. I am hoping to learn more about culture at that time including culture, religion, food, language, dress, hair styles, ect. If someone could point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.

I’m East African, Kenyan to be precise. I dated an Egyptian and we were for sure compatible. Financially, mentally, physically, emotionally.. you know? Except, I’m obviously Black and he’s obviously Arabic, aka, Caucasian or colored? I don’t know the rules

So when he received phone calls from his parents I occasionally heard him mention “Africa” several times in their conversations since I don’t know Arabic and that made me curious.

Me: what was up with Africa? You mention it in every conversation with your parents ( cause it’s rare for someone to mention a whole continent in a conversation)

Him: well, my parents want to know how I’m doing in Africa

Me: (🤔… loading… 😳…what?? Am I missing something?)

Why would you refer to Kenya as “Africa” and you come from the same exact continent?

(Last time I checked, Egypt was in Africa. His response took me aback 😂🤣)

Him: well, Mt Sinai is outside Africa

(Since I didn’t know where it was exactly)

Me: so what? Wait, aren’t you guys taught about Africa? Do you guys think you’re not African?

Him: (confused)

So, my question is.. what’s wrong with being “African “? Are you guys taught about Africa in your syllabus? If not , is there a reason why you’re not taught? If so, why do you distance yourself from the rest of Africa? Is it color?

I understand that being African and being black are two different things.

Or was he just acting ignorant? (I’m genuinely curious)

They are hand made and a very good quality. He incluido: Collar de acero inoxidable con colgante de mapa de África, 1 piezas, Hip Hop, 60 cm dos colores, dorado y plateado., para €11,99 en @amazon https://www.amazon.es/gp/product/B0CMFHBQ5M/ref=cx_skuctr_share?smid=A2O3PYDHWZPWJW

Compared to pretty much the rest of Africa. What makes that country so special?
