DID EUROPE EDUCATE AFRICA?

Reacting to unfactual claims from a GB News panel about how colonisation improved Africa, African Stream Editor-in-Chief Ahmed Kaballo breaks down one of their false points that European colonisers imparted education to uncivilised Africans.

That's hard to believe, considering countries like the Democratic Republic of the Congo had only 16 university graduates after decades of Belgian colonisation.

While we don’t defend the Moors’ occupation of the Iberian Peninsula, their 800 years in modern-day Spain and Portugal improved hygiene, sanitation and introduced mathematical concepts, among other technologies, when much of Europe lacked such things. 

Have a watch, and please share your thoughts.
