Why is Africa turning away from the United States? | The Bottom Line
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 гру 2022
- Officials in the United States look upon Africans as people “in need of help” or people who “need to be told what to do”, and this is destroying relations between Africa and Washington, according to the former African Union representative to the US, Arikana Chihombori-Quao.
“The US needs to call a timeout and treat Africans with respect,” Chihombori told host Steve Clemons, adding that the US-Africa Leaders Summit hosted by the White House this week “will fail unless Americans see Africans as equals".
Chihombori-Quao argues that pan-African unity is the only path for the continent to be less dependent on outside powers.

I am so proud to have this woman speak for our people around the world. She is not bowing down to the masses she is standing up for her people.
I'm a US citizen and I'm happy to hear the Ambassador's voice! If you can't keep the USA out, you invite loss of sovereignty.
I’m absolutely seething right now! Sounds like the US is trying to beat China in getting land and resources from Africa. My hope is that Africans will NOT trust either.
@9:40 the reason this is happening is because there is disrespect for ourselves. UNITE AND MAKE COLLECTIVE DEMANDS
@@JonROlsen LOL! Oh really and you think China is better? Africa is enslaving its generations by borrowing from China for everything it builds. They will rue the day the walk away from the U.S. If they believe China is a better partner. Wait until they default on one of those loans. Because its not a matter of if. But when!
it's no wonder why Africans are turning away from the United States! United States has done nothing for Africa but supported dictators and murderers and have funded terrorist organizations throughout the African continent to cause destabilization! they have done little or nothing to help Africa prosper they have only drained and depleted and exploited Africa for every resource they have and have supported the colonial Powers against Africa's efforts to create their own democracy and Independence !now they wonder why African people don't trust them and don't want them in Africa we can look at Somalia and what they have done in Ethiopia and don't have to go no further and not to mention supporting apartheid in South Africa we have a whole list of grievance against the United States and why Africans are turning against them United States have always betrayed Africa they have never ever supported Africa in their true efforts to uplift themselves but have always supported colonialism and pointers who have sought to exploit Africa!China has done more for Africa in the last 30 years than the Europeans have done in the 400 years that they have been there China has the same purposes and reasons the only difference is China is willing to deal with Africa on their terms and not on European terms and trying to set their own terms but China is there for the same reasons to explore Africa for its resources! China and Russia are beating the West at this game Africans the richest continent in the world and they want those resources!
This woman should be protected at all costs. We need more voices like this.
She is protected by mugabe government. She is in good hands. She was trained by mugabe so she knows all the inside work of the west
I hope she's not the "mother with 39 children" asking for help for her unemployed children in Africa and can support birth control for all?
oh, so THAT'S why Joe finally was able to read his teleprompter during his SPEECH TWO WEEKS AGO? In which he announced he's sending 150 billion to AFRICA ? Should a figured that out, but he'd just returned from Haiti, so he keeps us wondering about which country he's going to bs next? We KNEW he's be "expecting something in return ?"
You know if Howdy Doody starts WW3 , he can stay in his "assigned position" as a war president-then run tohis bunker why Pfizer sells us his new radiation pills ? ? It'll be another FALSIE ALL over again?
Indeed. Especially based on his line of questioning and how it ended with the diaspora.
Yes,he needs highly protection to that hypocrite of West

T.I.A. This Is Africa!
As a South African, I'm proud of this woman, and I'm definitely proud of being in a generation of other Africans standing their ground and rising for themselves. ✊🏽💯
I'am leary of this woman because of her toes to the AU, which was initially contolled by non-Afrikans
China has allot of surplus goods for building their help is good in that sense and convenient for them. But just like Afghanistan, Africa needs to be at a certain level of development to be able to comfortably implement our structuring, technology, efficiency and stability otherwise our help and supplies would be sold off or stolen for basic needs usually ending up in criminal hands. Look at Japan and south Korea, that should be the motivation Africans need. Currently their problem is basic things like food, housing, and education which should be a simple enough basic requirement. They need to suck it up and work hard to be proud Africans and stay away from the ulterior motives of countries with get rich quick schemes. They will take away your freedoms... I hope Africans wont have to learn the hard way.
As a Afro-Caribbean from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 this is very empowering interview.
💚❤️🖤
Are u empowered enough to go to China?or go to Africa and use your empowerment to build a proper functioning civilised society?no of course your not,talk talk talk
My greatest respect for this Lady. She is direct, intelligent, passionate about Africa with a strong sense of right and wrong. Not just Africa, we need more leaders in the world like her.
Her perspective and opinion sounds a bit contrived to me. Any proposition that seeks to seclude Africa from the larger world is a bad and insincere one.
Suddenly remind of Nelson Mandela!!!!
@@NT-tt5lj please can you explain further?
She only wants the US to talk about trade and aid and not the millions that are demanded to go into their Swiss bank accounts for that to happen. Yeah ok.

As a Jamaican, I am so proud of the stance African countries are taking to be respected and treated equally as partners in this global economy. We have the resources. We should be treated as such and benefit the most from those resources. Strength to "Mama Africa" is Strength to Africans and African diaspora (Jamaica, Barbados, Haiti, etc.) all over the world.
Africa Unite!
Jamaica has nothing to offer the world whatsoever.
Chinese government have been poaching territory for a while.
Jamaica gave us Africans Marcus Garvey so on the contrary she has offered a lot.. Marcus Mosiah Garvey is the reason we can take this stance don’t forget the Red Black Green
Jamaica has nothing to offer the world now because Jamaica owns nothing and the country has been raped of its resources and wealth our country has become nothing but bones so sad
I am Eritrean African and so proud to hear this kind of heart filling discussion that tells the world that Africans are not going to tolerate the discrimination that is showed and experiencing African. The game is changing. But my advice and wish for African leaders and African people is, we don't have to stop thinking that, by our own we can do a good things if wake up and do our efforts to do better. Africa is providing food to Europeans but still suffering in hunger in our Africa. Therefore, let's do a special effort to make new Africa, educationally and economically. We shouldn't be an instruments to the outsiders to exploit us.
I warn to the outsiders living in Africa which litting fire within African to exploit the resources of the land.
God bless Africa and African.
God bless you sister Ariana for ringing the wakeup call.
Thank you for Professor PLO as well.
A weak dollar can signal an economic downturn, making me to ponder on what are the best possible ways to hedge against inflation, and I've overheard people say inflation is a money-eater thus worried about my savings around $200k
The stock market is a way to hedge against inflation. Most notably amidst recession, investors need to understand where and how to allocate funds to hedge against inflation and still make profits.
in my opinion, the impact of the rise or fall of the U.S. dollar on investments is multi-faceted but learning how to grow your money has never been easier than now that you can explore and experience a truly diverse marketplace passively by using a well-performing portfolio-advisor.
Exactly why i enjoy my day to day market decisions being guided by a portfolio-coach, seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, coupled with the exclusive information/ analvsis they have, it's near impossible to not outperform, been using a portfolio-coach for over 2years+ and I've netted over 400k.
@@jeffery_Automotive Due to the significant falls, I need advice on how to rebuild my portfolio and develop more successful tactics. Where can I find this coach?
In fact, I'm not sure whether I'm permitted to say this, but I'd suggest searching for "Julie Anne Hoover" as she gained a lot of attention in 2020. She is both my coach and the manager of my portfolio.
As a Singaporean, I am so inspired by all that she has said 👏👏 Go Africa! 💪💪
Thanks for being an ally🙏🏾
As a malaysian I totally respects what she said ... africa do not need others to tell them what to do and how to run their country...africa has all the potential to rise to new levels 💪
Africa has been kept in the dark ages by the imperialist west for far too long. Hold your head up high and demand equal respect and treatment from all sovereigns. May your leaders be strong and incorruptible. Go Africa, go!
This lady made me proud on her stance. The key here is to be extremely strategic for the growth of Africa first. Don’t just talk the talk, walk the walk!! Africa has all the control without acting like they do.
There are no "Singaporean". Are you Chinese or not?
I am extremely proud of this beautiful African woman. As a Nigerian, i wish we had such leaders running our country. United we stand, Divided we fall
Africa need more progressive black women leaders! Many of the men have and are "too" weak......
Absolutely
It’s not about leadership, it’s about clandestine deals, political murders, proxy wars and sponsored terrorism that happen behind the curtain. Africa’s success is a threat to resource plundering by many in the west.
We act like the majority of politicians in these African countries aren’t Ivy League educated. Please.
Until you restore the mother of the motherland, Africa will suffer. The US can and will pay more than China and corrupt leaders will do exactly what they have been doing.
@@vg1024 I know! The African tragedy is unspeakable. We will always be a threat because of the resources. Our success means no more resource thieving. Where is the answer then? They will fight African success all the way.
Well spoken. Very proud of you for saying as it is. It is about time the West and so called developed countries get this truth. Very proud Zimbabwean and African
Then u hep them for decades
Develop? In what way?
I am also Jamaican African living in Britain I love this intelligent woman , Malea and all those standing up and taking notice I have waited so long for this in fact decades I want to return to Africa so bad , we should all return home. I believe the diaspora should also fight for our rights in the countries we are in. I am in the west right in the firing line. However, we should still fight. Keep up the good work I think you should also take a place around the table she is genuine
I'm an African American,When she said the game is over it made me feel joy because i agree the game is truly over.Long live Momma Africa!
Exactly, since the US cannot even treat African-Americans as equals, why would African countries want to partner with us? We need to clean up our own house. Love this ambassador, speaking truth!
Why Momma not Daddy ?
African Americans are not Africans,we are Natives to America we were always here.
@@michiganman8383 Awe!😥
Although true, we must remember that the European diseases wiped out a vast majority of the natives, so they had to go get more of us from Africa. We all apart of the diaspora, but AA need to reevaluate as a collective. We are broken people and systematic racism and oppression further divide us.

Same! I am so proud of her!!!! She's so articulate and stands her ground!!!!
You guys need to come back home, they are taking your God given resources, whilst they tell you Africa is no go area
Careful E Jay. She is playing a dangerous game. If she deals with China, she is selling you out to the devil.
As a white U.K. citizen I too am proud of her ,
The shocking fact that the United States fail to recognize is that, Africa has what United States needs. The world needs Africa and Africa's wealth. There is no longer a place for subtle colonialism and Africa is no longer willing to be disrespected in any manner.
I highly respect and agree with Ambassador Arikana.
If all African leaders were like this woman they would look out for country first rather themselves….it’s the African leaders mindset
May God bless you Mama
THEN WHY....do Africans continue to flood the sea with boats to Italy vi aen route to the UK? HELP FIX AFRICA and avoid all of the immigration stuff ? Not that Italy hasn't been good for them; they even have boot camps to hel them to assimilate; but THIS LADY SHOULD HELP FIX THAT IF SHE CAN, YES
It inspireS me to hear Africans who can actually speak meaningful , ELOQUENT English, while politicians educated in the US. CAN'T ?
Yes, however , if she thinks JOE'S WORD is any good, she's going to be deceived; just guessing on that .\
Hope she can introduce the birth control pill while Howdy Doody sends our money to Africa?
YES, BE CARFUL OF the new Howdy Doody Administration though.

The US cannot possibly repair all the damage that it has already done to African nations by staging coups against their governments and plundering their rich natural resources for their own gain. This is why they have a much stronger trust with Russia and China (who has no such dark history) than the US. Any attempt Biden will make to try to patch up old wounds will only be a waste of his and America's time.
The issue is not the failure to understand the fact that they need Africa, (it should not even be what affords Africans respect), the issue is the wickedness in them. Same as the idea of turning other human beings into slaves, subhumans... that was not due to any lack of understanding, it stemmed from the wickedness of their hearts.
Thank God that they also die like every other human being... The pioneers of slavery thought they would live eternally... well, here we are, the world still exists with new humans, the muh#@$ are dead!
This world needs humans who love each other regardless of race, religion and all else.
Now Thats what I'm talking about, Sister! Speak Truth To Power!!! Thats what we need to hear!!!
✊🏿🇺🇸
I am in tears of Joy for the So much Wisdom from You Ma'am, I called you (MAMA AFRICA)
I saw a quote on Facebook that says "every time China comes to Africa, we receive a school or a hospital, however, every time the west comes to Africa, we receive a lecture"
True talk hahaha
And plandemic 🤣🤣🤣
Please be aware that China is not building in Africa for free.
Just like the whites they have an agenda as well .
Plus they root whatever they can get
I think Westerners are very proud of their lectures, and they want Africans to listen and take notes
She is saying what most politicians in Africa is scared to say. So much respect for her, well said.
Back in the day yes. Today everyone in Africa will say the same and even more. Africa has change drastically- in 2-3years from now most African Countries will surpass just first world
Maybe you haven’t looked for speeches from other leaders. There is a leader who has been defying the western powers for decades and going the total independent route with the belief of Trade instead of Aid That leader has been vilified by western media and Al Jazeera itself. No one wants bring his idea to light because it is too dangerous for the colonialists. He is the president of Eritrea the biggest headache of America. He is changing the thinking of the people in the Horn of Africa to be independent of western supremacy. We in the Horn of Africa are very proud people anyway we don’t allow anyone to dictate us based on our identity. That’s why we kept our religion and language. I find people of this era are emotional not critical thinkers. They judge people by what they say not what they do. We have a lot of charlatans like this lady. Why is she not addressing the current crisis that is driving young Africans out of African instead of taking about African Americans? America is as much as their as it is for whites. I believe the western countries are paying her to get rid of blacks from America and the Caribbean. They would love to rid of black people.

This is an awakening era for Africa. The continent's leaderships are now addressing serious issues for the people.
Long live Africa.
One of the most intelligent women in Africa. Saying it like it is without fear or favor. So proud of her
Our ppl have no agenda or goal and the gullible African is a downfall for all out of Africa that are afri they're affecting others outside of Africa because of the stupidity on the continent the diaspora needs to conquer a country in the continent

Very true. Africans have to wake up
Yes . Awesome revelation.

Very well said! Her courage in speaking the truth boldly is truly commendable. African countries have rich cultures and agriculture, yet they've faced neglect and mistreatment for a long time. As an American, I apologize for our actions, and I hope our government acknowledges its mistakes and takes a break, as you suggested, to rebuild relationships with fairness. Africa deserves equal recognition, just like European countries.

Only three Africa US summits have been held over the past 24 years which implies that US does not have a plan that benefits and prioritizes Africa. Well outspoken Ambassador. Thank you for representing the voice all Africans.
Why is Africa turning away from the United States? Because the US only interested in control the country's and its internal affair and always use the same excuse ----- the "Human rights" violation. Meanwhile there are plenty of the "Human rights" violation in the US; if you ask those American African and Native American Indian.

Africa will not be the last one on the list when everyone needs Africa's resources to keep their country running.
Slavery is over and the atrocities which the African people in their home land and abroad must be addressed by the colonizer if a new road must be forged ahead.
This is the greatest problem facing these colonizers, addressing their horrific past atrocities imposed on all Africans.
The history of violence is very long and bitter, one which must totally stop if Africans are to work with their oppressors. Address their wrong which they've improved if restitution must be made, do it or leave the African alone!
Much respect to Mama Arikana. She hit the nail on the head. Engage Africans as equals, instead of dictating to us. Sadly leadership on this continent is still lacking. We need more strong leaders like her. Imagine all countries leaders on this African continent were like her, we would be thriving

She's burning the bridge. She's all emotion and no logic. America is looking to establish economic and diplomatic relationships. This woman is judging her benefactor before even starting the process.

In Choosing a better "helper", Africa would choose the one who's tolerant of her culture and way of living rather than one who forces his values and political system. Africa needs her own system of development that is unique to her.
Why did u put 'master' in your commentary?
@@petitecheriecocoenrose7256 That dude is retarded 😂
Arikana Chihombori-Quao
Former Permanent Representative of the African Union to the United States.
A medical doctor, diplomat and activist, public speaker, educator, founder of medical clinics, and entrepreneur.
Why did you use the word master!, we don't need anyone to master us, haven't you heard what she said equal partnership
@@ruzimabonieck6908 Africa needs to produce for itself, we can be and must be the top continent around the globe, we literally have every resources required to rival the very same countries that treat us unequal,
As if those gold watches or electric vehicles they driving just fell from the sky,. I'm talking about our resources they buy or smuggle from us
I commend the interviewer for the simplest of things. Not only did he do a good job in questioning her, not only did he do a good job in allowing her to articulate herself with no interruptions, he pronounce her name so eloquently. Much respect to you both 🥂
Yes I noticed that too he did a fantastic job as journalist. I can tell he has a great heart ❤️. He’s not about nonsense…
Yes, well done journalist. He, and another older white lady who did a segment on Haiti, are only a handful who get it and do proper journalism/interviews. The European ones are condescending, often come to interviews with their own talking points and don't deviate, and they interrupt their interviewees a lot, not to mention they also going on the attack when they feel they are losing control. I invite you to look at those interviews done by European journalists of Prez Paul Kagame.
I tell you he is such a professional
Journalists are supposed to interrogate people. They're not supposed to just sit there obediently while african autocrats spout their one-party script.
This is the Aljazeera we know...
And our Dr articulated herself very well
It is so critical that the world understands why Africa appears to be poor! Our fact of life, our relations with the world is laid bare! The apologists for the likes of France, USA and Britain had better understand what has just been explored in plain English … YES, PLATITUDES NO MORE! Thank you My Sister!
Thank you for speaking the truth.
I am so glad to hear her speaking. I am a African American woman who longs for home. I see what is happening here and the United States will never change their ideology about African. Africa, China, and Russia will be the next superpowers. I will be coming home soon. I no longer want to be a ship without an anchor ❤
s, however , if she thinks JOE'S WORD is any good, she's going to be deceived; just guessing on that .\
Hope she can introduce the birth control pill while Howdy Doody sends our money to Africa?
YES, BE CARFUL OF the new Howdy Doody Administration though.
I hope she's not the "mother with 39 children" asking for help for her unemployed children in Africa and can support birth control for all?
oh, so THAT'S why Joe finally was able to read his teleprompter during his SPEECH TWO WEEKS AGO? In which he announced he's sending 150 billion to AFRICA ? Should a figured that out, but he'd just returned from Haiti, so he keeps us wondering about which country he's going to bs next? We KNEW he's be "expecting something in return ?"
You know if Howdy Doody starts WW3 , he can stay in his "assigned position" as a war president-then run tohis bunker why Pfizer sells us his new radiation pills ? ? It'll be another FALSIE ALL over again?

Let's make friends with a totalitarian autocracy and genocidal imperialist power, that'll surely end very well for the world and average Joes, including the Africans. :-)
For Chinese no they hate black people
tired of these white boys running the show. give or take another 30-50 years and africa will definitely be better than most european countries.
This our home! We were given 50 percent of the earth! The fertile lands! We are Shem,the Negroes!

LONG LIVE MAMA AFRICA...
Am so grateful that she said the exact words that majority of Africans need...
God bless you Mama
Who are these individuals that are meeting with these nations. We want to try and work on diversity. Let's be logical. I am sure African Americans (even though Obama sounds like he didn't do it) would be able to treat their own people with respect. So simple is the answer.
Amen it about time Africa gets the respect they deserve
I'm from the United States and the United States racism is catching up to them and that woman is 100% right 👍🏿
Africa has the wealth and riches the whole world need so African leaders arise and take the stage!
They keep getting shot if they don’t like euro boots
@@Shahiddish The less corrupt and controlled black and brown leaders are most likely to be assassinated or hit with devastating scandal.
Exactly !!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Shahiddish wtf are you talking about?
Well spoken queen mother !
I’m in Germany but soon I’m coming back home to assist with the development of a united Africa.
Take me with you! I really would like to leave the US.
I'm in america( and I really hate saying it), and everyone says when they go to Africa, they feel at home and the air is different.
@@sh8047 I bet 😭 tryna get there lol
@lord Daniel ossy I mean it’s better today. We’re at 49 degrees Fahrenheit where I’m at.
Africa high speed train better than USA train
Mother of the continent
She stood firm and tell the truth ✊️
Mom we love you. I'm glad and proud to have a leader like you mom, I salute 🫲
Africa is the richest continent. As an Afro-Caribbean, I am so proud of the African leaders who realized that they have to put their people first.
Yes finally our Queen mother Arikana recognized on a global platform speaking our truth speaking our narrative...Yah bless her.
MaO'lady is preaching....
It’s Africa’s time. Our riches must remain on our continent. Our young are waking up. The exploitation of Africa must come to an end. I was born in the Caribbean, but Africa is my homeland. What truth she has spoken. We need more Africans to speak out as the ambassador does.
As long as you are black you are african my sister, and is about time y'all shld come to Africa now.
@@theapocalypse2024 I beg to differ, parceling people into a group because of skin colour is as racist as apartheid, what as Africans we need to do and achieve is value add to our abundant resources, and only then will the world respect Africa and treat us as equals
Yes, Africa is the next frontier .
@9:40 the reason this is happening is disrespect for ourselves. UNITE AND MAKE COLLECTIVE DEMANDS
"Racist as Apartheid"? Black people are of African descent, whats racist about that
Well said my lady Facts 100% Totally in agreement!!🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾
I'm proud of this woman talking,i from Haiti,just remember has a Haitian we have no good friends, we're have no good friends we're need a good friend to help Haiti go forward, maybe a once ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Very true Madam. We honestly need people like you to guard our future generations well being in Africa.🙏
For. Support
You don't need anyone but yourself or others on the same level.
She just admitting Africans do not like do make their homework, instead they like to act like little spoiled Child's that others should do the work. Why the US has to come up with a Agenda for Africans? How does it worked in your School, your Neighbor doing your homework for you? With People like her Africa gets screwed by China, they knew how to play such people.
United States continue to treat Africa people as slaves. United States continue to change the water but the soup still remain
Ultimately the leadership in Africa has to take care of African's people's lives n livelihoods. As human, all want to be respected, do better n better for ourselves n our descendents n the universe. African contries now are progressing well n doing better n better, that is what proved the leaderships' roles and responsibilities are properly discharged👍👏😍❤️🙏🙏🙏
African can see the lives destructions of proxy-wars created by Americanos politicians n with the corrupt/selfish leaders of collective west's leaders or 👀👀👀🧐🧐🧐🫢🫢🫢
I am so happy that Africa is waking up and standing up to the United States. ❤
I have one idea to tell to African leaders.
1-They must stand together mutually in brotherly spirit to make their people's life better.
2- They must reject the idea that the colonizers presenting
division us.
Africa, it’s time for a new mindset, and a new belief system. One Africa. One currency. One military. One people for the sole benefit of raising the lives of the African people. Europeans no longer dictate what goes on in Africa. B1✊🏿
WOW!!!! She is PHENOMENAL!!!! My goodness! All I could say is TALK!! She is exceptionally intelligent, well-versed, and speaking absolute truth. I applaud her!! Those who have ears let them hear. It's a new day!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Phenomenal
Very well stated. LOVE of self then another of divided lands will come together once again. Perseverance. Discernment. Focus. The correct knowledge from within. Patience as we continue Step-by-step. It took many moons to break us down.

En to everything this Smart Ambassador is saying she is so wise.
As a Kenyan, I'm moved by all these comments from Africans from all over the world. We the people desire unity and a desire to play a bigger role in the global stage..... If only our governments could listen.
my south african government is too greedy they would rather eat a whole rat over an elephant leg
Africa will become a superpower. Everything is just a matter of time.
I’m curious as to how you feel about the comments from around the world. Can you offer some perspective on the solidarity I have been reading from around the world?
We are proud African
@@cynthiabrown9596 people are sick and tiered of their corrupt politicians even we in europe feel disgust for what our leaders have done while numbing us with fake media and people are waking up and are not happy. Now progress is the only way forward. In this age of communication corruption will not live on many more decades
This black woman has filled my heart with a lot of warmth!
Protect my mother people of Africa in Zimbabwe ❤🙏💪
As one African citizen I am proud of this woman from bottom of my heart, thank you our hero.

BECAUSE USA IS PUSHING GAY GAY ALL FREEKEN DAY PUSHING TRAN AND GAY, THATS WHY AFRICA NOT HAPPY.

Yes this is eye 👁 opening, fathers and Mathers send more girls in school,,this woman has shown as a woman con, thanks you more wisdom ❤
Hearing her talk about the diaspora made me happy as a descendant of Africans. We need to come together. A very inspirational speech I would love to hear more from her.
We need to do more and not just listen to what this intelligent woman has to say, since all of this talking and and inactions is not moving us forward.. I'm tired of all the speeches, and anger that we feel, raising blood pressure while they simply laugh and say let them "VENT" because that is all they will do right now..
@@etruscancivilization .
@@etruscancivilization I agree! Honestly I feel like africa and africans as a whole are waking up, this is just the start of it. We got this 💪🏽
by "diaspora" she meant the 1st and 2nd Generation African Immigrants
@@etruscancivilization True. It's frustrating. At some point I had given up and wanted nothing to do with these speeches and politics in general.
Dr Arikana Chihombori knows her story,she loves this continent and we need to listen to her wisdom. Viva Africa Viva!

Well said lady.
I'm a Chinese living in the EU and i still get some racism here.
We are all humans on this planet and we should learn to live with each other.
Respect each other and make this a better world for everyone.

THEN WHY....do Africans continue to flood the sea with boats to Italy vi aen route to the UK? HELP FIX AFRICA and avoid all of the immigration stuff ? Not that Italy hasn't been good for them; they even have boot camps to hel them to assimilate; but THIS LADY SHOULD HELP FIX THAT IF SHE CAN, YES ?
I am not surprised you get racism in Europe. Thr white devils are terrified of China/Asia rising up!

If u don't like eu please leave . It is not like that in China everything is fairy tale . More black people live in usa than in China. Please take them with u as well.

It's time for AFRICA, God is smiling down on you my beloved continent 🥳! You have suffered so long in the hands of those who feel superior to you. Thank you Mama for standing for the truth 👏🏾.
Thanks guys, Dr Arikana we are listening and learning closely, only truth shall last and Africa United is the solution
As a Haitian American…. Sister I am a so proud of you to speak truth… Haiti suffers from these problems and can learn so much from what Africa is doing. Bless you.

Thanks for your support.
So true mama africa your talk the truth we tired of being classified as 2nd grade citizen of the world we are a proud nation we are rich in culture we dont need them
That is correct thank you madam
wow, i didnt realize as a native american the many similarities between the treatment that africans get and how we have been treated. thank you for saying what needed to be said. I also hope the best for your people, and you should be treated with respect and dignity.
seem like African countries don't like when US president call them ''SHTHOLES'' 🤔
That why we need to come together
Native peoples in America and the Africans have been hard done by over the centuries. But rest assured we will both rise from that dark past.
@@AMA-Online is too late for american natives... Africa is independent and way over a billion, native americans are very few and isolated in reservations... ''THE MAN'' own most of North America.

I have admired and loved my Sister, Ambassador Arikana Chihombori-Quao, from the first time I heard her speak. She articulates what many conscious African-Americans feel and have felt for decades. The only way to thank her today, is by sharing this interview with everyone within my orbit. Thank you, Mr. Steve Clemons, for hosting this globally important talk.
Well said
Same here, we need all Africans with such Eloquency and Intelligence to move us forward 🙏🏿🙌🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

African American is a term that generally denotes descendants of enslaved Africans, not African immigrants.

I Love This Sista!!! Creator blessings and protection for this Sister!!! For too long we sit silent and idle. Peace
Madame ambassador is speaking from the heart. We hear you! God cover you and go before you in all that you do.
I am in tears of gratitude and pride. God bless this woman (my sister). I am moving to SA🇿🇦(from US) in exactly 6 weeks to take my expertise in NGO development and public health to serve and be enriched and relearn who I am as an AFRICAN.
