A PEOPLE CALLED AFRIKA

             Only to discover in recent times, that their history books were
             skewed in favor of keeping them looking like they were one
             neuron shy of full mental function, because not only did their
             ancestors know about these features, but they interacted with
             them daily, even naming them based on their own personal ob-
             servations and also used them in their references to the Creator.


             Anyway,  the  ‘great  explorers’  from  Europe  took  their  re-
             ports back home with them, sparking immense interest in
             this mysterious land and raising the funding required to keep
             them coming back to extort resources from it, to such an ex-
             tent that they were now stepping on each others’ toes and
             had to forge some kind of agreement to guide them in just
             how they would go about their plunder. So they laid a table
             for themselves in Germany a table of great plunder and the
             thieves from 14 nations came to this table in Berlin in No-
             vember of 1884, dressed to the nines and prepared to give
             their  seal of  approval for  the  world’s  longest  heist  in histo-
             ry. Their hearts were fully set on establishing the claims to
             the geographies and territories they had been staking out
             since the 1870s, their mouths salivating with greed over the
             prospect of just how much coin they would make off with.


             They had absolutely no intention of ending their stay, it was
             fully their intention to live off the vastness of the wealth of
             the continent they had called dark, for the rest of their days.
             And so with the generous hospitality of Bismarck, over
             a period of 104 days, they set out the rules of engagement
             for the satiation of their greedy imperialistic ambitions,
             to the land grabbing of Afrika. They wanted it all to them-
             selves, so much so that they denied access to this exclusive
             looting spree to the Arabs, who had set themselves as rulers
