14 African Countries still slaved to France for paying colonial tax


Slavery has since been abolished from Africa - but it may be news to you that 14 countries are still paying colonial tax for the benefits of slavery and colonization.

France's economy so much depends upon this 'donation' that in March 2008, former French President Jacques Chirac said:

“Without Africa, France will slide down into the rank of a third [world] power.”

These 14 african countries are obliged by France, trough a colonial pact, to put 85% of their foreign reserve into France central bank under French minister of Finance control. Until now, 2014, Togo and about 13 other African countries still have to pay colonial debt to France. 




African leaders who refuse are killed or victim of coup. Those who obey are supported and rewarded by France with lavish lifestyle while their people endure extreme poverty, and desperation.

It’s such an evil system even denounced by the European Union, but France is not ready to move from that colonial system which puts about 500 billions dollars from Africa to its treasury year in year out.

Three women held 'slave' for thirty years rescued in London

One may not believe it that someone out of the Londoners have been keeping three women as slaves for over thirty years.

These women were rescued who were kept in "horrific conditions", reports Freedom Charity.

A Malaysian woman, 69, an Irish woman, 57, and a Briton, 30, were rescued on 25 October, it emerged on Thursday.

In the meanwhile, a 67-year-old man and woman, understood to be married, were arrested in Lambeth and later bailed until January.




Detective Inspector Kevin Hyland, from the Metropolitan Police's human trafficking unit, said: "This is the very early stages of a complicated and sensitive investigation.

"These women are highly traumatised, having been held in servitude for at least 30 years with no real exposure to the outside world, and, trying to find out exactly what has happened over three decades will understandably take some time."
