AFRICANS NEVER COLONISED AMERICAS, UNLIKE COLUMBUS The 12th of October is commemorated as 'Christopher Columbus Day' in many countries in the Americas. But because the 12th fell on a Saturday, the event is observed today, 14 October, as a federal holiday in the United States. In this episode of 'The Sobh Show' filmed in Tehran, Iran, African Stream's founder and editor-in-chief, Ahmed Kaballo, sheds light on the true history of the Italian explorer. Columbus's travelogues ignited in Europeans a desire to colonise and exploit the Indigenous peoples he 'discovered' across the Atlantic Ocean. Columbus's first encounter with the Indigenous peoples of the Caribbean Sea on 12 October 1492 resulted in their enslavement, violence and brutality. As a result, Christopher Columbus Day is increasingly being acknowledged as Indigenous Peoples' Day. In this clip, Kaballo alludes to compelling evidence that an African king, Mansa Abu Bakr II, the brother of the famous Malian king, Mansa Musa, had arrived in the Americas some 180 years before Columbus. In 1324, Musa made a pilgrimage to Mecca. On the way, he stopped off in Cairo, where he is said to have claimed that his brother and predecessor took a voyage across the Atlantic, taking with him 2,000 ships along with sailors and a vast supply of provisions to last several years, but never returned (indeed, that is why Musa inherited the throne). A 14th-century North African scholar had recorded Musa's testimony. Kaballo made these remarks during an in-depth discussion on African matters on 'The Sobh Show.' The conversation delved into African colonisation, the interconnectedness of liberation struggles in Africa, Palestine, and beyond, and the prospects for a new era with the resurgence of Pan-African consciousness.

You have a birthday. So does England. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 And it’s today. The 12th of July. Almost 1,100 years ago, on this exact day, England became a country. Almost no one knows it. The island was old long before it had a name. Farmers. Romans. Saxons. Then out of the sea came the Danes. ⚔️ They came to raid. They stayed to farm. And one hard question hung over the whole land. Two peoples, Saxon and Dane, one small island. Whose country was it now? Alfred of Wessex held the last corner and turned the tide. But he wanted more than a truce. One country. For both peoples. One England. He died before he could build it. 🔥 So his family finished it. His son took back town after town. His daughter Æthelflæd led the armies herself. A woman commanding armies more than 1,000 years ago. But it was Alfred’s grandson who ended the work. Æthelstan. In 927 he rode north and took York, the last Viking crown in England. One man now held every English kingdom. Then he did something stranger. He called the other kings of Britain to a bridge in the north. A quiet place called Eamont. 📜 Scots. Welsh. The kings of the north. There, by the river, they bent the knee. And that morning he took a new title. Not king of Wessex. Not king of the Saxons. King of the English. All of them. That bridge, on this day in 927, is the closest thing we have to the morning a country began. ⚖️ He made it real. One law, coast to coast. One coin, struck the same everywhere. On it he wears a crown, not a war helmet. Then in 937 they came to destroy it. Vikings, Scots, the men of the north. The largest army the island had ever seen. They met him at Brunanburh. Dawn to dark. Five kings fell. And when the sun went down, Æthelstan was still standing. 🏛️ England had been tested. And England had held. He left no son. He died in 939 and chose a quiet abbey at Malmesbury. Alone, in the country he had made. But it never came apart. Every king and queen of England since has sat on the throne he built. More than 1,000 years. Unbroken. You were taught 1066. The Tudors. The wars. But not this. Not the king who made the country. Not the bridge. Not the 12th of July. Æthelstan. The first king of England. And the one we forgot. Next year it turns 1,100. England has a birthday. And now you know when it is. 🇬🇧 You did not choose to be born here. But you inherited a country with a beginning. A name won on a bridge, 1,100 years ago. That is yours. No one can take it from you. Help us remember the king who made us. Help us remember who we are. 👇🙏 👉 👈 Be part of us. ☝️🇬🇧 Be Proud Of Us. 🙏🇬🇧
