Thread 🧵 from a 2014 essay exploring the question of "Why did Fanon argue for a #violent struggle against #colonialism? Was he right to do so?"
(1/20) Frantz Fanon’s name rarely appears in mainstream discussions of #decolonisation, overshadowed by figures like Nelson #Mandela and Mahatma #Gandhi. Fanon, however, presented a unique and crucial argument: violent struggle was essential for true liberation from colonialism
(2/20) Fanon isn’t ignored because his analysis lacked depth. Quite the opposite—his ideas were radical, academic & rooted in his lived experience. He didn’t see #violence as mere destruction but as a necessary step toward reclaiming humanity from #oppressors

Excerpts from a 2016 essay on the exploring #US and #Belgian involvement in the assassination of Patrice #Lumumba - #Congolese independence leader, and the first Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of #Congo
(1/20) The assassination of #Congo's first #democratically #elected PM, Patrice #Lumumba, has long been shrouded in mystery. Evidence points to #US and #Belgian involvement, revealing a mix of #ColdWar #politics and #exploitation
(2/20) Following #Congo’s #independence from #Belgium in 1960, the #US and #Belgium were deeply concerned about #Lumumba’s leadership. His #nationalist policies and connections with the #SovietUnion were seen as a threat during the #ColdWar
The External Affairs Minister @DrSJaishankar on Tuesday reaffirmed defence and trade cooperation with #Russia and said that many #Western countries used to supply arms to #Pakistan and not India, adding that the trend has changed in the past decade.
(2/6) "In terms of inventory, yes, because many #Western countries have long preferred to supply #Pakistan and not #India. But that has changed in the past ten or fifteen years with the #USA, for example, and our new purchases have diversified with the USA, #Russia, #France and #Israel as the main suppliers," he said.
(3/6) In an interview with a leading #German economic daily, Handelsblatt during his visit to the #Munich Security Conference in #Germany, EAM Jaishankar highlighted the infrastructural imbalance of supply chains in the world and said that the world's economic model is unstable and unfair.
(1/21) #India now aligns as a staunch supporter of #Israel, extending beyond short-term military & political ties into mainstream sentiment. The Indian position was once staunchly pro-#Palestinian. A sharp contrast with today. Let's explore India's post/colonial perspective
(2/21)The transition to the post-colonial era saw #India as a staunch supporter of #Palestine. India was acutely sensitive to the issue of partition & as a fellow British colony, Indian independence movement leaders were against the establishment of a #Jewish state
(3/21)in Mandatory #Palestine. In 1947, #India voted against the partition of Palestine at the #United #Nations General Assembly
(1/19) #AnalysisAlert***21st Century Tribalism*** We are entering a new era of modern tribalism
***
We have entered an era which will be defined by #polarisation, #tribalism, and social fragmentation. Those who were historically quiet, will now speak.

(2/19) Many were quiet about issues #globally while the status quo worked in their favour. Think of these people the same as the bulk of the #Western middle class in the colonial #era.

(3/19) The #Western publics were beneficiaries of the #colonial system and these European masses were conditioned to believe that their empires played a positive force in “#civilising” the rest of the world.
