Is Mise,

Two Bari gun batteries were used at Ulundi; this being
the last significant battle of the war fought on 4th
July 1879. This was the first use of Gatling type guns
by the British army. Casualties were extremely one-sided
with roughly 40 Zulus killed for every British soldier.

Artillery, concentrated rifle fire and the manually operated
Gatling guns (not a true machine gun) all contributed to the
terrible loss of life.

Portugal and Britain were the most successful slave-trading
countries accounting for 70% of all Africans transported to
the Americas. Britain was the most dominant - the following

Do-gooders only focus on anti-European Explorers battle successes but insidiously ignore when others overwhelmed the explorers !
Hypocrisy knows no bounds !

mhaze,

The New Colonialism report we're told reveals the
degree to which British companies now control Africa's
key mineral resources, notably gold, gas and coal.
It documents how 101 companies listed on the London
Stock Exchange (LSE) - most of them British - have
mining operations in 37 sub-Saharan African countries.

They collectively control over $1 trillion worth of
Africa's most valuable resources. The UK government
has used its power and influence to ensure that British
mining companies have access to Africa's new materials.
This was the case during the colonial period and is
still the case today.

mhaze,

My apologies for the typo. I meant to say:

" The UK government has used its power and influence to
ensure that British mining companies have access to
Africa's raw materials (not new materials)."

South Africa is a perfect example today of what happens when power is put in tribal hands. Of course the violence, murder and racism is largely ignored due to it not fitting a very dishonest and rewritten history narrative. People are leaving in droves and have been for a couple of decades.

Foxy, so when you say these British companies "control" the African resources, what do you mean exactly.

You seem vexed by the fact that these companies are listed in London and somehow, in your utter ignorance of how these things work, think this means London controls the African resources.

BHP is listed in London. Does that mean London controls all of the Australian resources owned by BHP?

96% of Nigeria's exports are from resources extracted by companies partially owned by foreigners (mainly British) using foreign expertise. These companies gained access to these resources after Nigeria changed policy in the 1980s so as to boost their economy. Currently close on 50% of the government's income derives from said companies. 10% of the population is employed by them and a further 10% derive their income from supplying these companies.

Are you in favour of all that closing down so that this fictitious 'new colonialism' can be discontinued?

If the Nigerians have to live in poverty to satisfy your virtual signalling them so be it. Sacrifices have to be made, eh?
