Neocolonialism is alive and kicking—kicking-down on the weakest subjects in the international value chain. Africa is still being exploited by the Wests, but several countries are taking back control over their natural wealth. In this talk, Dr. Jonathan Hamisi explains why and how Europe and America have been able to continuously extract much more from Africa than they put back in. The continent is not under-developed but very much over-exploited. Dr. Jonathan Hamisi, who received his PhD in economic geology and geochemistry earlier this year from Australia’s Monash University. He currently lives in Sweden but he was born and grew up in the Democratic Republic of Congo, studied in Lubumbashi, and he worked in the mining industry for 7 years before going back to academia. As we all know much of the past 600 years of international relations have been the story of European Colonial exploitation of other regions. The African continent has most egregiously been attacked and plundered, first for its human resources in the slave trade, and later for its mineral wealth either directly through the colonial apparatus or, after the 1960s, through neocolonial practices that allowed for the continued robbery of African wealth. ------------------------------------------------------ Pascal’s academic articles about neutrality studies: “In Defense of Neutrals: Why They’re More Than Fence Sitter” Foreign Policy, June 6, 2023. “The Future of Neutrality”.
