        .TYVM @omarvictordiop for this incredibly beautiful, thoughtful portrayal of a history that has long been ignored and marginalized. As you said: "We all have a common history" - we are all humans. We should all respect, remember and revere that.

        We know that "if you're not an African, you're an African export" because human being originated from here. Yet, the continent has been incredibly infantilized...nice work mate.
