Reports are that three of his men and two Congolese police officers were also killed, and that the rest of the men were arrested.

    I’m trying my darnedest to keep up with the whole of Africa, but it’s so hard to get context and history as an American. Other than the vague “Amerkkkia and THE WEST™©® at large have nothing but horrors in Africa” feeling I have, it’s hard to properly understand what’s going down in Africa. I’m trying to get more Black Agenda Report in my news rotation but getting up to speed is rough.

      yeah for sure

      i only really discovered Black Agenda Report when i posted this, so i think i’m a similar position as you

      and Western media sources on Africa are very biased and don’t really have much coverage anyways
