BIDEN’S OWN-GOAL ‘JOKE’ IN ANGOLA

Jokes often contain more than a hint of truth. US president Joe Biden just gave a classic example during his visit to Angola. Thinking he was being funny, he ‘quipped’ that his family (read: the US and especially its military) like to visit people uninvited, eat them out of house and home and generally outstay their welcome. Well, Africa and the Global South at large have been the butt of this joke for too long: what’s so funny about invading us, looting us and then refusing to pull your soldiers out or stop your drone strikes?
