1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣4️⃣ Africa is one of the world’s richest continents in terms of gold reserves. Today, this precious metal is mined in Mali, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, Uganda, Burkina Faso, and dozens of other countries. So, why does a continent so rich in resources still have so much poverty? Around 42% of African gold illegally leaves the continent, ending up in Dubai’s trading hubs, Swiss banks, and London vaults. The market’s biggest players are Canadian, Australian, American, and British companies. The countries where this gold is mined receive the smallest share. But African countries are beginning to demand what is rightfully theirs. The president of Tanzania discovered that one foreign mining company had not paid taxes in 14 years, and has demanded not only payment, but is also insisting that gold be processed locally. Mali and Burkina Faso have banned the export of raw gold abroad. Why do European countries with no gold deposits hold the world’s largest gold reserves? And can this precious metal, which has been flowing out of the continent for centuries, finally remain in Africa?

💬Thank you for such advertising! Even we couldn’t have written better about ourselves. An article about RT.Doc was published in the German newspaper FAZ. The main takeaway: Western journalists unconditionally recognize the highest quality of RT’s documentaries — but call them 'dangerous.' Dear author of the article, Artur Weigandt! Send us your address, and we will mail you our 'Propaganda Megaphone' merch. Here’s a brief summary of the article: 'The channel has mastered the documentary craft perfectly: the footage is expressive, and the drama is constructed with precision.' According to the Germans, the films are made with incredible beauty and professionalism. In terms of image quality and presentation, the channel looks like elite European TV. The article also specifically mentions the festival 'Time of Our Heroes,' which we organize 'to give all this content gloss and international legitimacy.' 'A sophisticated propaganda fishing rod.' The newspaper concludes that such high quality is a clever lure for Western viewers seeking an alternative point of view. FOLLOW 🥰 News&Docfilms Channel

1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣4️⃣ Kenya gained independence in 1963 after a local guerrilla movement rose up against British colonial rule and power passed to the KANU party. By 1982, KANU had legally installed a one-party system, and the opposition was outlawed. Political parties finally reappeared in the country in 1992, but they were divided along ethnic lines rather than political views, with each party representing only the interests of its own tribe. This division constantly led to ethnic conflicts, armed clashes, and loss of life. However, Professor Lumumba sees hope in the younger generation. Young Kenyans are putting the interests of the country above the interests of their tribes. Will the new generation be able to build a truly strong state?
