😈 Demonic Looking Tunisian President Calls For Black people to Be Hunted Down
💭 Tunisia’s Government Said All Black Migrants Should Leave The Country
There have been xenophobic attacks on Sub-Saharan Africans in Tunisia, following Tunisia’s President Kais Said’s claim that there is a plot to change his country’s racial demography through the influx of undocumented Sub-Saharan African migrants. “The goal of the waves of illegal immigration is for Tunisia to be considered purely African with no affiliation to Arabs”.
☪ What a Shame and Tragedy For an African to become a Muslim
☪ Arabs aren’t indigenous to the African Continent The Muslim Arabs invaded, exterminated and enslaved Orthodox Christians of Africa in the 7th century
☆ UNGRATEFUL & DISGUSTING Tunisia
☆ UNGRATEFUL & DISGUSTING Libya
☆ UNGRATEFUL & DISGUSTING Morocco
☆ UNGRATEFUL & DISGUSTING Algeria
☆ UNGRATEFUL & DISGUSTING Egypt
The real God of the Bible will return and balance the books! I hunger and thirst for righteousness.
What’s crazy is that these Arab/Islamic groups are in N. Africa as migrants from the past and they were the first non-Africans to engage in enslaving Sub-Saharan Africans. Now, hundreds of years later they are telling Sub-Saharan Black Africans that they are trying to replace Arab/Islamic groups. Pot meet kettle.
Enslavement of non-Muslim is 100% legit in Islam. This cult has nothing good. It was created by the devil to misguide the people. Isn’t that strange that Islam was created only 600 years after Christianity.
What else can one expect from a demonic Tunisian leader, when “African” Leaders such as evil Abiy Ahmed Ali of Ethiopia used words such as “weeds”, “cancer” and “disease” to describe Christian Tigrayans before massacring them in their millions with the help of Eritrea, Somalia, UAE, Turkey, Iran, China, Ukraine, Westerners. What a disgrace and tragedy that Ethiopia has a ‘leader’ like Abiy Ahmed who openly says he would day for America and Arabia!
👉 Enslavement of non-Muslims is sanctioned in Islam

💭 Stranded on trains Africans making their way by car told there’s no exit for them. Many Africans are taking shelter after being left stranded. Most of them are women and children.
Similar actions and stories of blocking, detention and maltreatment filtering out from “undesired” potential African asylum-seekers are widespread in North Africa, Turkey, Yemen, and now even at the Ethiopia-Sudan border, blocking Tigrayans fleeing the #TigrayGenocide.

Three out of five nations that represented the African continent at the current FIFA World Cup were North African ‘Arab Nations’. African nations that do have the potential to become world champions have failed to progress because they play in the same continental cup with the very North African nations that betrayed Africans & Christians repeatedly.
In Russia, while all five African nations couldn’t even make it to the 1/8, there are now four European nations in Semifinals – while Egypt, Tunisia & Morocco refuse to allow Black and Christian Africans play in their respective national teams – many Black African Christians play for England, Belgium & France. Isn’t it ironic?! May be not so!
History can teach us why:
The Arabs stripped Africans totally of everything, their history, religions, cultures, names, languages and traditions. Muslim religion overwhelmed African cultures and traditions wherever they conquered Africa, to the extent that Africans in Arab governed states today, no longer bear their original African names, nor do they remember their history. They cannot even recall that they were Black, independent and thriving communities, before the Arabs colonized them. They cannot imagine that they were the original settlers and masters of the entire Arab world. All African natives in Arab governed countries, think that Allah ordained their inferior status to the Arabs.
Egypt is still so intimidated by its glorious Black African past that its Arab government would not allow thorough research into Egypt’s past. President Gamal Abdel Nasser falsified Egyptian history when he declared Egypt an Arab Republic. Anwar Sadat was forced to divorce his Black wife, denounce his Black children and marry a light-skin cousin before becoming Egypt’s President. Egyptian authorities refused to allow American film makers to make a film on the life of Anwar Sadat in Egypt on the ground that the actor chosen for Sadat’s role was Black.
When Morocco left the OAU in 1984, it aspired to become a member of the European Union. In Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria, Libya, Sudan, Somalia, Mauritania and the rest of the Arab world, Africans are treated as the scum of the earth. They are second-class citizens at the very best in their own countries. Blacks in these countries cannot aspire to positions of respect or authority. There are hardly Africans in high government positions in Arab governed African countries. Like Brazil, which is just as racially cruel against their Black natives, there is no legislation favoring slavery (except in Mauritania.) It is simply a way of life that’s all. Blacks do not really exist or at best are not humans.
Arabs themselves divide Africa into North Africa and sub-Saharan Africa to instigate a division and as long as the invaders continue to occupy our land and treat us as slaves in North Africa, the two segments of the continent cannot cohabit.
The Arab war against Africans and the Arabization of African lands that started in the 7th century CE. Arabs have since settled on one-third of Africa, pushing continuously southwards towards the Atlantic Ocean. Arabs’ racial war against Black Africa started with their occupation and colonization of Egypt between 637 and 642 CE, decimating the Coptic or Black population. Between 642 and 670 CE, more Arab invaders poured into Africa and occupied areas known today as Tunisa, Libya, Algeria and Morocco, where they physically eliminated most of the native (Berber) inhabitants. The Berbers that escaped death ran westwards and southwards towards the Sahara.
A traveller in Sudan observed in 1930 that “In the eyes of the Arab rulers of Sudan, the Blackslaves were simply animals given by Allah to make life of Arabs comfortable.” In 1962, the Arab Sudanese General, Hassan Beshir Nasr, while flagging off his troops to the war front against Black Africans in South Sudan, declared: “We don’t want these Blackslaves…….what we want is their land.”
The Arabs that invaded Africa and called Africans slaves in their own God-given land are worse than European colonizers. How ironic, if the Europeans stayed away from Africa, the destructive and cancerous nature of Arabness/Islam would have destroyed African nations by now.
A number of people have been injured after at least one gunman apparently targeting black people opened fire in the Italian city of Macerata, according to reports.
The mayor of Macerata, located about 125 miles (200km) east of Rome, said a “person who sowed panic in our city” was captured after locals were told to stay inside for their own safety.
“The person who sowed panic in our city this morning was captured. You can get out of your homes and pick up the kids from school!” Mayor Romano Carancini said in a statement posted on local Facebook sites.
Just an hour earlier, officials had told locals to stay indoors as an “armed man in a car is shooting in the city.”
The website of newspaper Corriere della Sera said a man fired from a car window at two young African migrants shortly after 11am. (10am UK time) Saturday, injuring one of them. A short while later another migrant and an African woman were shot.
Italian police confirmed that all those injured were of “foreign nationality.”
It was unclear how many perpetrators were involved but Italian newspaper La Repubblica said there may have been two people in a black Alfa Romeo.
At least seven people were injured in the attack, according to local reports, and five have been taken to hospital, according to local media reports.The website of newspaper Corriere della Sera said a man fired from a car window at two young African migrants shortly after 11am.

These devils doing the same evil now in Libya, Niger, Mauritania and Sudan today.
People need to realize this documentary was made in the 1960’s can you imagine what kind of brutality and dehumanization happened centuries ago, before the evil European came to Africa. The Arabs were, still are more brutal than the Europeans.
President Trump’s “Shithole“ remarks against Africa came, days after the vast majority of African states voted against the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Last night, during his State of the Union speech, President Trump renewed aid threat against countries opposing Jerusalem decision (Africans, in particular).
Last Sunday, the Arab League called for African states to reject Israel’s candidature for UN Security Council (UNSC) seat for 2019-2020.
What now? Will Africans continue demonstrating their solidarity with the same Arabs who are enslaving their children in the deserts of Libya, Niger, Mauritania, Saudi Arabia?
The colonial crimes committed by Arabs, against Africans, through Islam, very often go unchecked and unspoken under the guise of political correctness and avoidance of offending religious sentiments.
For the last 50 years, Africans had frequently been urged to embrace their Arab enemies as their brothers, and to join with them under some version of regional administrative union for „the victims„. Africans have their own matters and problems, they should not waste their time and energy in supporting or condeming entities outside of their continent, so, Africa stay away from the Arab Israeil conflict. Now, should black Africans of today allow these devilish advocates to prevail, then they have nobody to blame but themselves for whatever the Arabs do to them.
Africans Rebuff Arab Call For U.N. to Expel Israel
The Organization of African Unity, refused today to adopt a resolution calling for the expulsion of Israel from the United Nations.
Rebuffing Arab militants, it approved a milder version calling for moves “to reinforce the pressure exerted on Israel at the United Nations and its specialized agencies, including the possibility of eventually depriving it of its membership.”
This resolution, adopted at the closing session of the annual meeting of presidents and premiers of O.A.U. countries, was an unexpected setback for the Arab diplomatic campaign aganist Israel. Among those opposing a direct call for Israel’s expulsion from the United Nations was Egypt, which has been involved in negotiations for a second disengagement accord with Israel in Sinai.
Last month in Jidda, Saudi Arabia, the Arab militants won adoption by a conference of foreign ministers of 39 Islamic countries and the Palestine Liberation Organization of a resolution calling for the expulsion of Israel from the United Nations.
The resolution was recorded as having been adopted without dissent from any of the participants, among them Egypt.
Delegates at the O.A.U. conference here said that at one point during the Middle East debate the Libyan leader, Col. Muammar el‐Qaddafi, shouted that Egypt was failing to support the Palestinian cause. He also complained, delegates said, that President Anwar el‐Sadat of Egypt gave the issue so little priority that he left the session before the debate began last night.
President Idi Amin or Uganda, chairman of the O.A.U., who presided over the conference, was quoted as having asked Mohammed Riad, Mr. Sadat’s foreign affairs adviser, whether Egypt would support Israel’s expulsion from the United Nations. Mr. Riad was said to have replied In the negative.
The measure that was adopted was weaker than either of the two, proposals before the conference—one by Egypt asking that Israel be suspended until she withdrew from occupied Arab lands, and the other by the Palestine Liberation Organization calling for outright expulsion.
The adoption of the weekend version was interpreted as refleeting growing resentment among black Africans In the 42‐nation organization against what they considered inadequate Arab compensation for the effects of increased oil prices.
One member, Zaire, expressed opposition to any move to remove Israel from the United Nations.
However. Zaire allowed the action on the resolution to be recorded as adoption without dissent. The Zaire view was a reservation made afterward in accordance with Q.A.U. practice. Four other countries also presented reservations.
The meetinf, which opened Monday, was boycotted by Tanzania, Zambia and Botswana.
The conference actions included a decision to send a commission, to Angola to look into a possibility of establishing an O.A.U. peacekeeping force there.
On the question of southern Africa, a Geciaration was adopted endorsing further efforts to negotiate with whiteminority governments in Rhodesia and South Africa provided that liberation movements approved. This was a compromise between those countries opposed to any contacts with the white‐minority governrhents and those wanting a dialogue aimed at producing black rule.
TEL AVIV, Aug. 1. Israelis were heartened today when they learned that the conference of the Organization of African Unity in Kampala had bilked at adopting an Arab-sponsored resolution to exclude Israel from the United Nations.
The development was a pleasant surprise to experts in Jerusalem, whose earlier assessments were that the resolution would be adopted.
Officials said it appeared that the number of countries opposing the Arab initiative was growing.
The net test of the Arab initiative is due at the conference of nonaligned nations in Lima, Peru; where the Islamic world will be more strongly represented.
UNBELIEVABLE how much we know about the Atlantic and Roman slave trade, but barely anyone even knows about the 14 centuries of Arab Muslim slave trade with these insanely high death tolles, which included large numbers of African slaves. Africans must be teaching this in their schools too.
Arabs’ Mortal Hatred And Enslavement Of The Black Race
Dr. Azumah in his book: The Legacy of Arab-Islam in Africa provides several examples of Islam’s hatred of Blacks. There is the example in the hadith in which an Ethiopian woman laments her racial inferiority to Muhammad, who consoles her by saying, “In Paradise, the whiteness of the Ethiopian will be seen over the stretch of a thousand years.
No nation in Africa has suffered more in the hands of the Arabs than Ethiopia. It has been going on since Arabs first invaded Africa in the 7th century CE. Recently, with Libya supporting the people of Eritrea, they destroyed the basic structure of Ethiopia, to cut her from the sea and weaken this section of Africa, and eventually all of Africa, for further Arabization. They did this mercilessly with religion.
Ibn Sina (Avicenna 980–1037), Arab’s most famous and influential philosopher/scientist in Islam, described Blacks as “people who are by their very nature slaves.” He wrote: “All African women are prostitutes, and the whole race of African men are abeed (slave) stock.” He equated Black people with “rats plaguing the earth.” Ibn Khaldum, an Arab historian stated that “Blacks are characterized by levity and excitability and great emotionalism,” adding that “they are every where described as stupid.”
Muslim Arab and Persian literature depicts Blacks as “stupid, untruthful, vicious, sexually unbridled, ugly and distorted, excessively merry and easily affected by music and drink.” Nasir al-Din Tusi, a famous Muslim scholar said of Blacks: “The ape is more capable of being trained than the Negro.” Ibn Khaldun, an early Muslim thinker, writes that Blacks are “only humans who are closer to dumb animals than to rational beings.”
al-Dimashqi, an Arab pseudo scientist wrote, “the Equator is inhabited by communities of blacks who may be numbered among the savage beasts. Their complexion and hair are burnt and they are physically and morally abnormal. Their brains almost boil from the sun’s heat…..” Ibn al-Faqih al-Hamadhani painted this no less horrid picture of black people, “…..the zanj (the blacks) are overdone until they are burned, so that the child comes out between black, murky, malodorous, stinking, and crinkly-haired, with uneven limbs, deficient minds, and depraved passions…..”
After the Arabs had conquered Egypt and shortly after Muhammad’s death, they began demanding Nubian slaves from the south. This continued for 600 years. Dominated African kingdoms were forced to send on a regular basis, tributes of slaves to the Arab ruler in Cairo. From as early as the 6th century CE, they had developed slavery supply networks out of Africa, from the Sahara to the Red Sea and from Ethiopia, Somalia and East Africa, to feed demands for slaves all over the Islamic world and the Indian Ocean region. The African male slaves were castrated and used as domestic servants or to work the Sahara salt deposits or on farms all over the Islamic world.
The African female servants were continuously raped before being sold to households to be used as sex labour. Of springs from the illicit encounters were largely destroyed as unworthy to live. Between 650 CE and 1905 CE, over 20, 000,000 African slaves had been delivered through the Tans-Sahara route alone to the Islamic world. Dr. John Alembellah Azumah in his book: The Legacy of Arab-Islam in Africa estimates that over 80 million more died en-route. A text from Dr. Azumah books, provides this quote from a Zanzibar observer about the travails of African slaves en-route to slave markets around the Arabic world.
Arab Muslimsmeltingplastic on anaked Body of an African – in the year 2018
Arabs did not only start and sell African slaves from the 6th to the 19th century in the Islamic world; they were the principal raiders, merchants and middle men for the Atlantic slave trade. In fact, even now, hundreds of years later, millions of African settler slaves are still being discriminated against and treated as the scum of the earth (untouchables) in Pakistan, India, Iran, Iraq, and all the Muslim states of Asia, the Persian Gulf, and Northern Africa.
Arab enslavement of Black Africans continues to this day in the Muslim world, particularly in the Sudan, Niger, and Mauritania. To admit that it is a mistake would be to admit the fallibility of the Qur’an and bring its divine origin into question. Even today, Muslims act as if Islamic slavery was a favor done to the millions of unfortunate men, women and children who were forcibly uprooted from their native lands and sent to lives of sexual and mental servitude deep in the Islamic world.
Arab imperialism is worse than European imperialism, only that the latter is less subtle and more widespread. Europeans relatively, have some conscience, not much, but they are, at least, slightly more tolerant of dissent than the Arabs. Europeans did not completely destroy African cultures. Our history and religions yes, while our cultures and traditions were largely derided as primitive and banned, ignored or marginalized. In all areas conquered by Islam, the natives lost their ethnic names, religions, and peculiar way of life, to those of their Arab masters. The slaves or the religiously colonized Muslims are left bare, without a past or future of their own, a worse form of slavery and emasculation.
The Arabs stripped us totally of everything, our history, religions, cultures, names, languages and traditions. Their religion overwhelmed our cultures and traditions wherever they conquered us, to the extent that Africans in Arab governed states today, no longer bear their original African names, nor do they remember their history. They cannot even recall that they were Black, independent and thriving communities, before the Arabs colonized them.

London Protest Against Slavery in Libya – An Arab Deflecting Blame From Those Arabs Who Are Committing These Crimes – Why was the protest not lead by an African?

Whether it is people touching their hair without asking, or bouncers rejecting them from bars, black people in Germany are used to being treated differently based on the colour of their skin.
Saraya Gomis is the daughter of a German mother and a Senegalese father. At the baker, strangers ask her “where I come from”. At a conference, participants persistently speak English with her even though she answers in accent-free German. In the subway, a stranger starts touching her long braids without asking permission.
“I just grabbed that person’s hair too. Strangely enough, she’s completely freaked out,” she says.
The debate about everyday racism in Germany was revived earlier this month when the painter Noah Becker was racially insulted on social media. A commentary on the Twitter account of Alternative for Germany MP Jens Maier described Becker as a “little half negro”. The tweet referred to an interview in which the son of tennis legend Boris Becker and Barbara Becker said that Berlin was a “white city” compared to Paris and London. He himself had been attacked because of his skin colour, he said.
“Noah Becker expressed what many black people in Germany unfortunately have to put up with every day. They are insulted, they are disadvantaged in their job search, they struggle to find a place to live,” says Christine Lüders, head of the federal anti-discrimination office.
Many black Germans have the feeling that they are not treated like full citizens of the country, Lüders concludes. “We must counteract this impression, including by openly addressing discrimination and clearly putting racists in their place.”
Saraya Gomis is an anti-discrimination commissioner for the Berlin Education Department and volunteers against racism. When she goes to the opera with young Arabs, Turks and black people in the bourgeois Berlin-Charlottenburg district, she experiences “little moments of silence”.
“The silence, those glances – you have to endure them,” she says.
When pupils, parents, and in rare cases teachers, who feel discriminated against on the grounds of their sexual orientation, disability or ethnicity, come to see her, she can relate to them. She has experienced enough discrimination herself in Berlin.
Gomis laughs a lot, even when she talks about embarrassing social situations. In connection with her work against racism she often receives hate mail. The basic tenor of these mails is a feared “genocide against the Germans”. The writers often accuse black people of being “oversexualized and less intelligent”.
Berlin, Gomis says, is by no means as cosmopolitan as is often claimed. People with a migrant background often experience being rejected by restaurants, she states. “You’ll realize half the places aren’t for me. I’ll just have the shisha bar.”
The complaints received by the Federal Anti-Discrimination Office also show that ethnic minorities in Germany need to develop a thick skin.
In one case reported to them, a 19-year-old was travelling by bus from Berlin to Leipzig. She reported that the bus driver greeted her with the words “I’m not going to South Africa”. In the end the bus company sent an apology and a free travel voucher.
Flippant comments hurt in the short term. But other cases have a bigger impact on people’s lives. In one instance a dark-skinned woman was rejected for an apprenticeship at an insurance company. The woman contacted the anti-discrimination office after the insurance company had justified its refusal on the grounds that customers would be afraid of her.
Not every racist action is as clear. Often the person’s ethnicity is not openly discussed. Nevertheless, people with African parents often experience that they receive more rejections in their search for accommodation than others, and are often rejected by bouncers or approached by strangers looking for drugs.
Sometime the misunderstandings happen when Germans are too eager to help.
The journalist Mohamed Amjahid, son of former “guest workers” from Morocco, describes in a book how he desperately tried to report on the new “German welcome culture” at Munich central station in summer 2015, as refugees were arriving in the country.
Instead of answering his questions, an “elderly woman in a dirndl” wanted to force a bar of soap on him. “Soaap is goood “, she repeated persistently – despite the fact that he introduced himself to her as a journalist from Berlin.
My Note:Of the 3.5 million living in Berlin, 850,000 are ‘foreigners’. Around one quarter were of Turkish origin (200.000) There were around 3million people in Germany who held citizenship of an Arabic country, of which 100,000 live in Berlin.
I remeber a friend of mine once telling me that the main reason many people of Ethiopian origin left Berlin for good was because of rough Arab and Turkish intolerance towards the mainly Christian Ethiopians.
Around May, last year, 15 Eritrean newcomers who were working for a Turkish company in Berlin were fired because they refused to remove their Crucifixes hanging around their necks.
