@Hat - I completely agree bro. I don't know where all this mistrust of diasporians comes from. Its not like their the ones that have abused Africa is it...

I would have to say that its simply a case of misplaced pride. Continental Africans don't want other blacks coming to their rescue because it will make them look inept. Go figure.

@Afanye - You're on some Nationalist tip or what? If Nigeria needs to invest in anything it will be education, or the fight against corruption -- NOT MORE MILITARY!! Jeeeezus!!!

--And the Biafrans were defeated not because of superior military but because Nigeria and her colonial masters successfully imposed a blockade that was responsible for starving 2 million Biafrans to death. Do some reading before you spout fanboy asslicking crap please.

I suppose by this you are implying that us Continental Pan Africanists are none existent and that our efforts are useless so we need the WESTERN Pan Africanists with their superior KNOWLEDGE tomake things happen?

Oh dear...you should know that I'm not saying that. It is not about superiority of knowledge, or even knowledge at all, because manycontinental Africans are arguably more educated (and sometimes moreintelligent) than Diasporans from my experience. The reality of the world right now is thatcapital rules. However,the person driving the capital typically has control. I'm sorry, but the capital of continental Pan-Africanists is either insignificant to the demand, or not appropriately directed. This is why Ikeep bringing up the Jewish-Israel model, for Jews have created a little empire in the midst of all those Arab Muslims because they honed their global resources without usurping their respected authorities. It seems that Ghana is starting to realize this, hence why they are calling for Diasporans to come and invest there.

If the above diatribe is what YOU call visionary and revolutionary, then my advice for you is to live your life the best you can in the US....you will get nowhere with C Africans, hence you'll just grow frustrated and end up all bitter. I've seen it here with many so called Pan Africanists.....they had all this COLONIAL thinking ideals which they naively thought would solve African problems...only to be very dissapointed when the Continentals end up hating them even more because they sounded more like white colonialists rather than the Africans they claimed to be.


Ok Mez, you have to work with me here. When I talk about this, I think of Diasporans actually going to a country to live and invest in the community while drawing global capital from its assets in the U.S., Carribean, Europe andSouth America. It is not colonizing at all. I know some are talking about an attack by air or sea, but that is ridiculous in my opinion. Setting up companieswith Pan-African interests would thus empower the continental Pan-Africanists as well, would it not? This makes regime change much easier.

Either way i'm sure you'll agree that there is NOTHING to celebrate about the Biafran War and the death of millions of your fellow countrymen.

Unless ofcourse you're a fake nationalist who wish to stoke tribal divisions - but i think you're smarter than that.

The Continental Africans may lose a battle to a well armed Western state bent on conquering it,
" Black Hawk Down,..... Can you here me....I repeat...Black Hawk down"

By the way Safety, were you cracking a joke?
Black hawk down was not a true battle dude, it was an army policing force that went completelyawry. They went with the arrogant intent to police and ended up in a firefight that they lost. If the US wanted to really attack Somalia it would have did to Somalia what it did to Iraq twice,Yugoslavia, and Afghanistandcomplete and utter indescriminate carpet bombing for weeks cleaned up on the news to say they only hit military and strategic targets.......when in fact theybombed every group of people that numbered over 100 not leaving a structure standing if they can help it.

What you, I,and the rest of the world witnessed is the US saying "We went there to help the darkies, but they killed some of our people and the country is of little to no value and we do not see a highly profitable return on any investment we may put into SOmalia, so let's pull out." Kinda like they do to AAs, let us have the small victories, but only challenge us seriously on the larger ones. And ignore us completely if they have nothing to gain...see Nawlins and Katrina

The lives whte or black that were lost were of no consequence to the US as nothing was to be gainedto them from either. Yet notice how long US involvement has been in countries where something of value is.....

If the US actually wanted Somalia ALL OF US would have been screaming at the top of our lungs about the devastation of Somalia by US hands. You cannot even fathom the greed and capabilites of the destructive nature of this country when it wants something.

So what I said rang true and it was no joke, African countries may (with may as I said before leaving in the possibility of a win) lose to a western country hell bent on conquering it, but when was the last time a Western power deemed it necessary to attack an African country?

You speak of pride but seem to not know the level of weaponry, I mean logically what African nation do we know that can launch an assault on a western nation at the moment? We are speaking at the moment not in the future, but at this moment? Or with stand a 1-2 month complete bombing of its civlian infrastructure ?

I could make the same conclusion about if this happened to AAs and speak with pride and my ego saying that we would do this and that BUT logically and historically speaking, we may put up a valiant fight, BUT we would be in the end diabolically wiped out due to the overwhelming firepower of the cavemen at the moment.

As much pride as we have in our people, the cavemen have and limit access to the mightiest weapons. If that has not convinced you what about thermo nukes? I mean who is the only nation to have ever used nukes on civvies? If it came down to it, you don't think that the US would have anAfrican nation glowing for 100 years? And being that we are not suicide bombers by nature how would an African nation strike back from that?

Its not about proving the US is better, I am just saying that currently standing up to them in a 1 v 1 all out war is too much for any African, South American, or Middle East country to withstand logically.

Exactly...which is why there is terrorism. F**k ass U.S. army vets like to call Islamic terrorists "cowards" and such, when they are anything but cowards for sacrificing their lives. I mean, what does America expect, for them to stand on one battlefield so that they can easily drop bombs on their heads all at once? Those in power in the U.S. are the real cowards because they push their weight around the world knowing there is nothing a little country can do. I would like to see Bush and Bin Laden go at it alone on a battlefield with equivalent conventional weapons.

Safety BIGL Mez and all the other naysayers

I tried to draw attention to the fact that this has nearly been pulled off successfully by white mercenaries..how close did they get to invading eq guinea? Too Close.

Its wierd this mentaility black people have - oh no don't aim too high, you're not ready for that yet blah blah blah. BEFORE YOU KNOW IT WHITE PEOPLE WILL SUCCEED and they will plant A LOCAL PUPPET LEADER once they're in...

But yeh you lot keep knocking it as impossible - yeh impossible for black people maybe.
My point is stickup speaking from a strictly military point of view....

(Note this may hurt a lot of egos and feelings across the board in the diaspora.....)

Africans in the Diaspora are not willing to fight for their survival or the survival of others simple as that. Most on here and in the Diaspora are against the militaries of their respective western nations.

So where would we get the will to fight? Or the necessary training to fight a real war?

I mean look at the Birmingham incident there (I could have used NO for the AAs, but you are in the UK). And I hate to go there again, but many people on here were selling wolf tickets and when it came to time to hit the streets to go to war, how many went? How many engaged in combat in the streets with Asians or the police to protect other Africans in Birmingham when there were reports of rioting which left Africans dead. Not police, whites, or Asians but Africans. Now with recent history proving that you will not fight for your own in the closer communityyou are in, why would I think that you would risk your life to "help" as you say Africans on the Continent?

IN this case the continental African would be fighting from his standpoint for his very livelihood. And as Somalia proved, not matter what a group of people care about each other, they will band together to repel the greater threat which would be invading Diasporans. And while the Diasporans even if they could successfully take a city, what is to stop the Continental Africans from regrouping outside of said area and launching their own counter attack? This would be a brutal war and one from talking to most Diasporans, one I do not think the Diasporans would win as the Diasporans would be seen as trying to force their way of life on the Continental and the Continental would see himself in a Do or Die situation.

I know that you are thinking that the white mercs almost took over the country, but in an overthrow that was coming like that, those 64 mercs were going to be leaders leading other Africans on the inside against the African gov't that was to be overthrown. What African nation trustsDiasporans at the moment enough to band with them to overthrow another African nation? The weapons cache on board with them was for waiting armies in those countries.

I am sorry, but Parris and Mez said it all LOL

Mez from the idealogical view expressed the simple fact that we cannot clean up the smaller communities in the diaspora. If we could we would not have 50cent, Michael Jackson, and Drogba with a perm being some of the biggest influences on our kids. So if we cannot come together collectively to clean up our communities how in the heck are we going to go to another country and clean it up? Even more to the fact when we cannot even deal with the people we elected to represent us? Sorry Stick up until we clean up our own local communities, we should not invade any thing but the public school system to win back our kids.....

Parris also hit on a truth as a physical invasion by Africans from the Diasporawith guns would be massacre. The Continental Africans may lose a battle to a well armed Western state bent on conquering it, but to a group of mostly untrained Diasporans (sp) with guns and righteousness? ROFL Most on here are against Africans joining the Western militaries and the African nations get training by Western militaries as well as arms. Plus no western nation is going to let a group of heavily armed Africans train unsupervised in their country unless something is in it for them. The training Diasporans would be routed before they even left their base country. IF they did manage to avoid detection in their country, we are talking about mounting forces in a neighboring country or launching an attack from sea. Their could be a drop from airplanes, but I find it hard picturing AA Pan Africans going HALO into AFrica period.


You are not much of a visionary.

After Katrina and the Birmingham incidents nah I am not. That slapped me awake into seeing that this generation of bold Africans are bravery dead when riots against us and national disasters affecting us primarily were not acted on by other Africans who were near the situations.

Still logically, I look at trying to train a group of Africans in a western state as utter suicide. I mean look at Ruby Ridge where the man was surrounded by gov't law enforcement after refusing to help them infiltrate the Aryan nation. They wounded him, killed his dog, killed his 14 yr old son, shot his his friend, shot his 16 yr old daughter and a sniper put a shot through the head of his wife while she was holding their infant. And they did this to Aryan sympathizers. Now if they get this evil with their own imagine what would happen with a group of Africans training in their backyard..........

Can I just say as an aside, that the title of this thread is total contradiction, a true Pan Africanist wouldn't INVADE, they might defend or be allied to a neighbouring state...but Invasion is usually the domain of the capitalist minded...imo
