Remember, we Africans fought one of your most brutal European war also called WW2.
We were in El Alamein Egypt and Tobruk Libya fighting general Rommel. We were in Burma fighting the Japs, we were in Alsace Lorraine France fighting the Germans. The first territory to rally behind general De Gaulle when France fell to the Wehrmacht was colonial French Africa.
We fought to save UK, France , the whole Europe and the world. And how were we rewarded after Germany was defeated? Colonial powers paid us with disdain, racism, colonialism, forced labor and the plundering of our natural resources.
Today is D-Day , we salute our African heroes. And we know their names will not appear anywhere when European gather on the beaches of Normandy to praise their military men, on June 6. They forgot we were there. We even went further to Paris, fighting German snippers . French generals Leclerc and De Gaulle knew we were there.
Winston Churchill knew we were there.
Eisenhower knew we were there. But all kept our names off the records and now Europeans want us to join us in their
retarded war against Russia. No, No, NO and NO.
Today is D-Day .
We salute Africa, the Home of the Brave.
" More than a million Africans served as combatants as well as war workers and carriers in World War II for the colonial powers - more than half enlisted by Britain with the rest serving France and Belgium."
