Leaked .@HillaryClinton Emails Revealed NATO Killed Gaddafi to Stop the formation of United States of Africa
Of the 3,000 emails released from Hillary Clinton's private email server in late December 2015, about a third were from her close confidante Sidney Blumenthal. One of these emails, dated April 2, 2011, read in part:
"Qaddafi's government holds 143 tons of gold, and a similar amount in silver ... This gold was accumulated prior to the current rebellion and was intended to be used to establish a pan-African currency based on the Libyan golden Dinar.
This plan was designed to provide the Francophone African Countries with an alternative to the French franc (CFA)."

In a 'source comment', the original declassified email added:
"According to knowledgeable individuals this quantity of gold and silver is valued at more than $7 billion. French intelligence officers discovered this plan shortly after the current rebellion began, and this was one of the factors that influenced
President Nicolas Sarkozy's decision to commit France to the attack on Libya. According to these individuals Sarkozy's plans are driven by the following issues:

1. A desire to gain a greater share of Libya oil production,

2. Increase French influence in North Africa,
3. Improve his internal political situation in France,
4. Provide the French military with an opportunity to reassert its position in the world
5. Address the concern of his advisors over Qaddafi's long term plans to supplant France as the dominant power in Francophone Africa."
Conspicuously absent is any mention of humanitarian concerns. The objectives are money, power and oil.

Kandake was not playing.🔥
The Romans were the European superpower at that time. They were invading everyone around, imposing their will on them. But this African queen resisted. She fought back. Lost her husband, lost her left eye, but never gave up.
She made them understand that they would experience the African hell if they keep trying to enter the land of the ancestors.

The peace treaty is the evidence that it worked. The Roman understood that it would be hell to try to enter deeper in Kush.
They gave her the lands she conquered around Upper Egypt and never tried to attack Kasa again.

When Dumas was 14, his father sold him. He was sold to a French captain who then took him from Haiti to mainland France. Once in France, his father bought him back, & because slavery was outlawed in France, Dumas was freed. #Thread
In France,He lived the privileged life of a nobleman’s kid. At the age of 22,Dumas was attacked by a white French officer who tried to “tried to force him to kneel before his attacker and beg for his freedom.” If I had to guess,I’d say that this was a stark reminder to the young
Dumas that he was still a black man in a white man’s world.

At age 24, He joined the French Army. Due to his noble birth,he qualified for an automatic officer’s commission but, due to his black skin, he was denied that honor. He was forced to enlist as a private.
