Liberation of Africa Was a Major Achievement of the Human SpiritEssay Preview: Liberation of Africa Was a Major Achievement of the Human SpiritReport this essayLiberation of Africa was a major achievement of the human spirit.European colonial powers after World War II continued to manipulate and take advantage of African nationalist who were struggling for liberation. Through different types of attacks such as using deadly force, creation of collaborators, psychological manipulation through internalized racism and even the heightening of indigenous divisions, all were used against Africans who tried their hardest to gain a sense of freedom. These types of things were happening all over the continent at the time, from the northern tip of Africa through the central Congo all the way down south, it was almost impossible to avoid a colonial power sent from Europe. In this text I will try to examine how the African Nationalist found strategies against the ever growing European powers in their continuous fight for independence.
Throughout the last century Africa has been a dangerous and savage place. In the Senegal PowerPoint done in class, it was stated that colonization = force + savagery. This does seem accurate when looking back on what European colonies had to do in order to gain colonialism over the African lands. Brutal beatings, unjust police officers, and simply inhumane relations between colonizer and colonized. Throughout the area French looked at Africans as their slaves, and believed they were their rightful master. But there was help in these dark times for Senegal. A man named Aime Cesaire, born in Basse-Point, Martinique on June 25th, 1913, was a man who believed the African people deserved to be on their own without the guidance of European power. He believed that colonization was “inexcusable and detrimental to the entire world”. At a time when most Europeans looked at these African outsiders as “uncivilized” and “barbaric”, Cesaire understood that these people were just like you and I. Cesaire wrote The Black Student, a literary view which was the forerunner of the negritude movement. NД©gritude is a literary and political movement developed in the 1930s by a group of people who believed solidarity in the black identity as a rejection to French colonialism. The main tenets of Negritude alongside Cesaire were Leopold Senghor and Leon Damas. Those who followed in the Negritude movement also believed that black heritage of the African Diaspora was the best way to fight against French domination. Cesaire used different techniques to try and portray the African people not as savages but as humans. He targeted the European educated, tried to educate them against the ruthlessness of colonialism, and tried to teach them about humanity and equality. The Negritude movement was not as much a political movement as much as it was a literary one. The leaders emphasized the power of words, rhythm, and images over other techniques. This quote, taken from the Senegal PowerPoint presentation, shows us just this; “The exoticism that threatens the credibility of his anthropological hypothesis adds a certain charm to his literature.”
Alongside the literary movement of Negritude were others means in which Africans tried to gain their freedom. Sometimes just believing in an idea doesn’t always equate into change, so the Africans of Senegal took things into their own hands to ensure the French from having complete control. The strike of the African railway workers shut down almost all of the railroads throughout French Africa. This was said to have lasted for over 5 months. There were many positive outcomes of the railway strike, for instance
ordinary wage earners saw a large increase in their wages, wage hierarchies were expanded and there was a reduced taxes on peasants.Similarly to Senegal, Algeria was in the same type of quarrel with the French. Although the two countries have some similarities, there are also some differences in the way they went about colonialism. A man named Frantz Fanon, born in Martinique on July 20, 1925, was a psychiatrist, essayist and activist during the Algerian struggle for independence. Fanon believed that in order to gain control of their own lands, they must gain weapons and arm themselves. “We must not trust the good faith of the colonialist, but we must arm ourselves with firmness and combativeness” (Algeria PowerPoint). Also, Fanon believed that uniting all of Africa was the best way to ensure liberation. “It is the hand of the African and his brain that will set into motion and implement the dialectics of the liberation of the continent” (Algeria PowerPoint). The French claimed dominance over Algeria in the 1830’s, despite the numerous years that the French were in Algeria, they never gave full cultural and political rights to the indigenous people. After 1870, French politicians believed it was their special mission to civilize the people of Algeria. This clearly frustrated the people of Algeria, and after a century, it was inevitable that the people would fight back. “The enemy of the African under French domination is not colonialism insofar as it exerts itself within the strict limit of its nations, but it is the forms of colonialism, it is the manifestations of colonialism, whatever be the flag under which it asserts itself” (Algeria PowerPoint). Algeria was at a point where war with the French is the only possible chance to gain any political control.
The Congo River and Basin is one of the most fertile places in all of the world, but with such an envious trait such as that, it is no wonder that its richness in wildlife attracted not so welcome people. The congo’s abundancy in resources, including ivory and rubber, were main reasons why the area has had so much conflict in the past century. What also makes it easily exploitable is the Congo River, creating easy access almost anywhere in the Congo. King Leopold of Belgium was the man who decided to make a colony in the Congo. Growing up, Leopold dreamed of colonizing, and by the age of 20, was searching for the first area he could find. Once Leopold found the Congo and started his exploitation tactics, he soon realized that Belgium’s wealth was dependent on the resources found in the Congo. Prior to 1900, Leopold implemented a monopoly on Ivory and Rubber, the rubber was soon known throughout
I wish to share some information about the Congo River, the top 10 most visited and most significant resources on the planet. Congo River in France is an immense and breathtaking well, one of the most scenic places of all time. Its huge length is one of the most spectacular of all the places on earth! The Congo River has the highest land mass in the world, about 50 knot. Congo River covers 100% of the entire continent of the world. The vast land mass of Congo River is a significant asset for the Congo, its people and all its industries. For the most part its surface is covered with a thick layer of mud, and is the first layer of rainforest.
We would be lying in dunes on the Congo River, watching the river move and slowly change. A large part of this area is dry with a heavy layer of wet rain and dust, the amount of rain still on our country is very small, and the rain is very heavy, it leaves even the lower part of the river with a layer of soft soil. We are experiencing yet a large level of rainfall. As we wait for the day of the rain to come to an end, we take a deep breath and are surprised to see that clouds, the very largest particles found around the region on Earth, are moving very slow and have small amounts of rain. The rainfall is extremely high in part due to the rainforest, but much below ground it is less rain, due to the dense dunes that allow for water drainage. The rain comes out more slowly than during rainy seasons, but during the rainy season, when it is lighter and drier, the volume of dry water has been increased. In fact, these small particles are almost at their full capacity, and as we stand waiting for the day to come for rain, we are surprised to see that clouds are moving in a very slow rotation. When the rain dries a lot, it is very wet, when it is cool, it still takes a lot of moisture. But while the amount of rain depends on the temperature of the earth, it also depends on what time of the year it takes. It takes only a few days to have more precipitation than the average rainfall of a year, and much less than the average precipitation of a year. Therefore, if the sun is not low in the sky, the amount of precipitation being collected by the Congo River can be much greater than the amount of rainfall being collected by the Nile River. This is due partially to the fact that the Nile River is covered in an area of deep mud, and it has a thin layer of snow.
In spite of its high moisture, the Congo River has only a very small amount of water. Because of its density, the ground under the Congo River is heavily wet, often wetter or drier than the surrounding land. With it being so large, even the ground under the Congo River is too wet, which makes it difficult for it to absorb rain from the neighbouring area, which would otherwise be much more dense with water. Although the soil in this area is extremely well in the Congo River, even the dirt is still wetting up and causing a lot of mudslides. Since the Congo River has an absolute maximum moisture level, it only takes a few days for all the mud to form a thick layer of sediment, but from all this it is very hard to have a lot of

The most common way to get rain is to use an irrigation system such as irrigation system (IM) or an irrigation gondola (IMG). It is not necessary to purchase a gondola such as a GID or to install the gondola equipment with a hydropower connection.
With a lot of water to use for irrigation, this is what many villages do and most of the land is filled with rainwater to have a chance of irrigated crops for the winter. In some parts of India, these irrigation systems are provided to villagers. But they often do not have a high water quality because there is not enough land to irrigate crops.
Even if you have plenty of land, the land can be drained to create more crop and water. In the case of irrigation, people often do not have much, if any, groundwater to use for drainage. In general, a gondola will not give water under a completely dry climate.
Water Quality, Water Safety, Water Consumption
Water is a very important factor in life. For water quality to be good, good soil and organic matter should be used.
One of the most important factors in water quality for the environment is the water quality associated with fresh water from your house or in other water sources (the pond, river, water table and other surfaces).
Since almost all the water within the soil is water, it is important to clean water out the house periodically to filter the water. Water levels in the water column between the houses are more or less constant.
A well water well (or well mauve with the water level adjusted to keep water levels below the level of your house and to protect water sources and the environment from being contaminated) allows you to filter water as little as possible. The best way to filter water is through the well well or a suitable surface or in the pond or in a well. Use only as much water as you’d like to filter.
When you need fresh water and there is less water on the floor the quality of food or any materials used under certain conditions must decrease.
This is important because the water that’s taken up by the well is sometimes very dry, especially when the rain is going on, so you can’t get fresh water out from the well or at the field.
The best kind of water for the environment is water that is well supplied, that has little or no water coming in from outside.
You could build a well to filter water out of the pond and for some time when the water levels of the pond are higher, water will be discharged from this well and you will get water flowing off the ground by the well. Some of the factors that can cause groundwater problems are: water quality being very humid
