Injustice in Cabinda is a Threat to Justice in Germany





Mr. Clemens Tönnies’ supposed Racism is far less detrimental to Africans than the Passive Racism of the Governments that do nothing to end Injustice in Africa.


“When Hitler decreed prejudice against Negroes, Germans obediently went through the motions of being prejudiced toward Negroes. Consequently, since racial bias against Negroes is not in the German history or character, racial prejudice in Germany is something that one can turn on and off at will.”

Dear Dr. Uschi Eid,
President of the German Africa Foundation,

Not long ago, Mr. Clemens Tönnies, the chairman of a leading German football club, i.e. Schalke, made “unintentional racist comments” while disapproving tax increases to fight climate change. As a substitute of tax increases, he proposed that the money be used to finance 20 power plants a year in Africa. “Then the Africans would stop cutting down trees, and they would stop making babies when it gets dark,” Mr. Tönnies has been quoted as saying. He has since apologized for his remarks and said he supports Schalke's values against "racism, discrimination, and exclusion."
 
In this respect, the German justice minister, Mrs. Christine Lambrecht, has immediately called for the German Football Association (DFB) to intervene. She said, “Racism must be loudly and clearly contradicted at every opportunity. Nowhere is integration as successful and quick to work as in sport – that must not be put at risk.” However, racial prejudice against Africans is subtly being turned on in Germany. This can be seen as a trap set for Germany, as racism is likely to impede Germany from being the right candidate for a permanent seat on the UN Security Council, and from being able to give this key body in advancing the UN ideal of universal peace additional legitimacy and authority.



"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywher."

                                             - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.



Dear Dr. Uschi Eid,
The widely criticized comments made by Mr. Clemens Tönnies, and hastily labelled as racist ones, require that they be judged in the light of realpolitik, which is based primarily on considerations of given circumstances and factors, rather than explicit ideological notions or ethical premises. It is abundantly clear that, in this particular case, Mr. Tönnies’ language is figurative, with the use of metaphors. The intended meaning of his comments is easily recognized, all the more so since allegorical speech is supposed to increase descriptiveness and facilitate understanding.
Comprehensive or integral development is actually the most appropriate way to fight all at once against deforestation and overpopulation in Africa and elsewhere. Climate change, in the same manner as high population growth, turns out to be the topmost concern of the world-leading elite at present. Intriguingly, all options to fight climate change, i.e. to protect the environment, and to fight high population growth, are on the table of the world elite except integral development for Africa. In fact, what Mr. Tönnies means by “financing power plants in Africa” is “fostering an all-embracing development all over this continent”. In the same way as any reasonable person, Mr. Tönnies believes that development in Africa is the proper tool to curb overpopulation, and all at once protect the environment.
It is worth mentioning the circumstances and factors that led Mr. Clemens Tönnies to have recourse to the allegorical expressions that earned him the undeserved criticism of public figures at home and abroad. German initiatives aimed at advancing justice, peace, and development in Africa are, in most cases, deferred sine die by “lucky” UN member States. The German Federal Minister of Economic Cooperation and Development, Dr. Gerd Müller, for example, has been long since canvassing support for a Marshall Plan with Africa. For his part, Mr. Günter Nooke, the Federal Government’s Africa Commissioner, has proposed initiatives meant to enhance job creation and development on the continent, so as to curb the large-scale migratory flow. Seeing that initiatives to boost the well-being in Africa do not get the consensus of the mightiest nations, to talk about Africa’s development, Germans must inevitably have recourse to figurative languages.
The accusations of racism against Mr. Clemens Tönnies are simply inappropriate, all the more so as his supposed racism is far less harmful to Africans than the passive racism of the Governments that do nothing to put an end to Western injustice in Africa, e.g. the subjection of the people of Cabinda to alien subjugation, domination, and exploitation. Mr. Tönnies is of the view that overall development in Africa is the proper approach to fight climate change and overpopulation. His view, though expressed in a metaphorical language, does not lose anything at all of its veracity and pertinence. Since Mr. Tönnies is accused of racism owing to such a view, the question arises as to what the governments that are in collusion with the opponents of integral development in Africa must be accused of.


Injustice in Cabinda is a threat to justice in Germany
“Angola remains one of Africa’s largest oil producers and is China’s second most important source of oil and most important commercial partner in Africa. This oil wealth, and Angola’s regional military power, has greatly limited leverage of other governments and international organizations pushing for good governance and human rights. Trade partners remain reluctant to criticize the government, to protect their economic interests.”
                                                     Amnesty International Annual Report 2011



Just like other Western significant governments, the German government is acquainted with the fact that the subjection of the people of Cabinda to alien, i.e. Angola’s, subjugation, domination and exploitation constitutes a denial of fundamental human rights, is contrary to the Charter of the United Nations, and is an impediment to the promotion of world peace and co-operation. In addition, the German government is aware that, among the main purposes of the United Nations, appear the enjoyment by all peoples of: 1. the right of self-determination and independence; 2. the right to permanent sovereignty over their own natural wealth and resources.
Though both the subjection of the people of Cabinda to alien subjugation, and the deprivation of this people’s legitimate right to be in control of their own means of subsistence impede integral development in Cabinda and world peace, Western democracies are reluctant to push for good governance and human rights in Angola; and, with respect to Cabinda, unwilling to assume their international responsibilities under Article 35 of the Charter of the United Nations. We are told that their reluctance is influenced by Angola’s so-called oil wealth and regional military power. Yet, it stands to reason that the reluctance has simply to do with racial prejudice against Africans, inasmuch as Russia’s, or Iran’s, oil wealth and military power do not prevent Western democracies from criticizing the Russian and Iranian governments.


“Nowhere are the devastating effects of revenue misappropriation and state cor­ruption more starkly illustrated than in Angola, where one in four children will not live to see the age of five. One in four is also the ratio of money that disap­pears from the state budget each year. The two figures are related: while most Angolans suffer devastating poverty, oil income has enabled some top officials of the ruling [MPLA] to become very, very rich.”
                                                              Global Witness Annual Report 2004




It is worth noticing the extent to which injustice in Cabinda is a threat to justice in Germany, and the West at large. Angola’s ruling MPLA is, ever since its independence from Portugal in 1975, notorious for its autocracy, its corruption, its human rights record, and its criminal use of the State and the economy. In order for Angola to prevent UN member States from siding with the people of Cabinda, by acting in agreement with Article 35 of the Charter of the United Nations, awfully lucrative business opportunities are usually given as bribes to political figures and businessmen of the countries tending to draw the attention of the UN Security Council to the prevailing dispute between Cabinda and Angola. That is how Angola is exporting what defines and differentiates it the best, i.e. corruption. Yet corruption burns the society of whatever country it is exported into.
As stated by Angola’s president João Lourenço on 30 May 2019, Angola agreed with Deutsche Bank (Germany) a billion-dollar loan to update private projects linked to the productive sector. Mr. Lourenço has signed an additional $3.7 billion credit facility with the IMF, the biggest ever such arrangement made by an African country[2]. Though notorious for its totalitarianism, Angola still enjoys substantial confidence from Western governments and financial institutions. Actually, Angola has been given the exclusive privilege of continuously incurring huge and long-term debts (i.e. odious debts), which are risking the existence of Cabinda’s present and future generations.
Germany is fully acquainted with the legal-political status of Cabinda as early as 1884/85, on the occasion of the Berlin-Congo conference, at which the protectorate treaty between Cabinda and Portugal received attention and ratification. In this respect, the book of Hans Mayer and Ruth Weiss bears the following witness:
Bismarck verkündet das Ende der Konferenz. In der Schlußakte werden letztlich fünf Punkte festgehalten, die es den europäischen Mächten erlaubten, Afrika nach ihrem Gutdünken aufzuteilen: 1) Der Kongo – Hauptanlaß für das Stattfinden der Konferenz – wird in drei Regionen unterteilt: Kabinda bleibt unter portugiesischer Herrschaft, das Kongobecken wird in dem späteren Kongo-Brazzaville (heute Volksrepublik Kongo) und in den Freistaat Leopolds II unterteilt (heute Zaire).[3]






No leading Western country, including Germany, can claim to know nothing about the fact that the United Nations has consistently issued statements supportive of or consistent with the Cabinda people’s right to self-determination and independence, as praised in the UN GA Resolution 1514 (XV) of 14 December 1960; and set out in Article 1of the 1966 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.[4]
As the subjection of peoples to alien subjugation, domination and exploitation constitutes a denial of fundamental human rights, and is a barrier to the promotion of world peace and cooperation, the question we ask ourselves, which we also ask the German civil society, is the succeeding: “on what grounds is the German government endorsing the subjection of the people of Cabinda to alien subjugation, domination, and exploitation?” As international law insists that “In no case may a people be deprived of its own means of subsistence”, we cannot help asking ourselves, as well as the German public, the question to know “on what grounds is the German government allowing Angola to deprive the people of Cabinda of their own means of subsistence?”
Norway is a country extremely rich in natural wealth and resources, mostly oil. Yet the Norwegian people are not deprived of their own means of subsistence. This leads to the conclusion that the people of Cabinda are deprived of their own means of subsistence on account of racial prejudice against black-skinned people. The engineered arrogation of the Cabinda people’s own means of survival, and the resulting situation of dehumanizing deprivation turn out to be consistent with Dr. Henry Kissinger’s proposal according to which, we quote: “depopulation should be the highest priority of U.S. foreign policy towards the Third World”.[5] That is also consistent with one of the purposes of Cecil Rhodes’s secret society, i.e. of “gradually absorbing the wealth of the world”[6], as we learn from Prof. Carrol Quigley’s books, specifically: The Anglo-American Establishment and Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time.


Angola’s government has taken credit for improving transparency over its oil revenues and auditing the state oil company. But the disappearance of $32 billion raises serious questions about its efforts and underscores the need for public accountability. Tens of billions of dollars could be used for the benefit of the Angolan people—instead the government can’t account for them. Angolans deserve a full public explanation for where those billions went.[1]
                                                            Human Rights Watch, 2011

Ever since Angola’s independence in 1975, tens of billions of dollars vanish every year from the state coffers. Where does Cabinda’s massive oil wealth end up? Cabinda, where more than half of Angola’s oil is produced and from where Angola earns practically all of its foreign exchange, is also the source of over 70 percent of Angola’s national Budget. Thanks to the misappropriated oil of Cabinda, Angola has become one of the United States' and China’s biggest oil providers.

Meanwhile, in Cabinda, even if the indigenous people do not exceed two million, life expectancy at birth has dropped from 75 years in Portuguese colonial era to 48 years nowadays; child and maternal mortality rates now figure among the highest in the world; rubbish dumped here and there have become children’s last resort; and a hospital bed is for at least four patients. In fact, the increase of hardship and the crumbling of the infrastructures inherited from the Portuguese colonial era turn out to be the only visible development. The people of Cabinda were supposed to benefit from their country’s oil deposits through a sovereign wealth fund; but the money is often siphoned off by the mercenary government of Angola and its Western and Eastern caretakers.







Germany’s and Portugal’s Responsibility in Cabinda




“While Angolan refuges generally should be able to avail themselves of the protection of their country of origin, UNHCR recognizes that the situation of those originating from Cabinda Province requires special consideration. Cabinda Province has been affected by an insurgency, dating back to 1975, led by separatist groups. Bearing in mind the distinct dynamics in Cabinda Province, UNHCR recommends that States implement simplified exemption procedures for Angolan refugees originating from the Province. UNHCR will provide further information and guidance on the modalities of simplified procedures.”
                                         United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees



The legal-political attack on Cabinda’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity through the UN GA Resolution 1542 (XV) of 15 December 1960, and the military occupation of Cabinda in 1974/75, appear to be a legal-political problem that falls within the competence of the United Nations, inasmuch as it is a problem of the nature referred to in Article 34 of the Charter of the United Nations.

In view of her responsibility originating from the 1885 international protectorate treaty with the sovereign people of Cabinda, Portugal has yet to fulfill her legal obligations to respect Cabinda as a political entity with the right to self-determination and independence. In this respect, H.R.H. Dom Duarte Pio, the Duke of Braganza (Portugal), has repeatedly and persistently stated that “there is a legitimate case for the independence of Cabinda”. Despite the informal recognition of this responsibility by particular members of the Portuguese administration, the government as a whole lacks the political will to openly support Cabindan independence without further support from the international community. Yet, since Portugal is a EU member State, she necessarily shares her responsibility for the reestablishment of Cabinda’s political sovereignty with Germany, and the European Union as a whole.

In the mind of the oppressed, exploited, and degraded people of Cabinda it is self-evident that from the occupying regime of Angola, notorious for its corruption, its human rights record, and its criminal use of the State and the economy, there is nothing good to expect. Consequently, the people of Cabinda are under the obligation to take matters into their own hands without further postponement. While the Cabindan National Movement (CNM) is aligning itself with the pro-self-government, it remains convinced of the need to safeguard political security and stability in the region. For this reason, CNM is in favor of an agreed transitional period of time, in which modern infrastructures are built; in which the people of Cabinda are trained; and in which they are given the required skills for self-government, self-defense, and self-respect. At the end of the agreed intermediate period of time, the people of Cabinda regain their citizenship and independence from Angola. For the tasks that the transitional period entails, 5.5 billion euros have to be yearly subtracted from Cabinda’s oil revenues under the auspices of Germany and Portugal. Actually, 5 billion euros of the above amount of money are for Cabinda’s integral development, and 500 million euros for the empowerment of the Cabinda citizens who live abroad as refugees.

In her capacity as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council, Germany is assuming major responsibility for peace and security, as the Security Council is the most important organ of the United Nations for ensuring peace and security worldwide. The fact remains that Germany has been working for years to reform the UN Security Council, with the intent of giving this key body in fostering the UN ideal of universal peace additional legitimacy and authority. Moreover, Germany’s membership of the Security Council vows to focus on conflict resolution, and to ensure that the UN SC is all the more dynamic in the field of conflict prevention than was the case in the past. 
All things considered, both Portugal and Germany have enough moral and political authority to be the wanted independent international entity committed to a legal resolution of the Cabinda issue, capable of impartially arbitrating the competing interests at stake, and powerful enough to see that the parties involved, i.e. Cabinda and Angola, negotiate in good faith and fulfill the responsibilities contained in their ultimate agreement. In this connection, our task and duty is to remind Germany and Portugal of their responsibility, pursuant to Article 35 of the Charter of the United Nations, to bring the “Cabinda issue” to the attention of the UN Security Council. This responsibility consists in making sure Cabinda’s political sovereignty is restored in accordance with the UN GA Resolution 1514 (XV) of 14 December 1960; in enabling the persecuted people of Cabinda to enjoy all the rights conferred on them by the UN GA Resolution 1803 (XVII) of 14 December 1962; and in ensuring that the well-being of the people of Cabinda is promoted to the utmost thanks to their own natural wealth and resources, in line with the proviso of the 1966 International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.


The Yalta World Order as a global Ethnic Cleansing
                                                    Angola: hunger kills just like war


“Now, I cannot beget the fourth son whose children I would have ordered to serve you and your brothers! Therefore, it must be Canaan, your first born, whom they enslave. And since you have disabled me…doing ugly things in Blackness of night, Canaan’s children shall be born ugly and Black! Moreover, because you twisted your head around to see my nakedness, your grandchildren’s hair shall be twisted into kinks, and their eyes red; again because your lips jested at my misfortune, theirs shall swell; and because you neglected my nakedness, they shall go naked, and their male members shall be shamefully elongated! Men of this race are called Negroes, their forefather Canaan commanded them to love theft and fornication, to be banded together in hatred of their masters and never to tell the truth.”

                                  “Curse of Ham”, Babylonian Talmud[7]




Consistent with the French anthropologist, Paul Topinard, “the Rabbis of the First Century CE were the first to expound the spread of Race and Color differences as we know them today”. He said that such was unknown in the periods of far-off antiquity, and at least in the West.[8] Therefore, when all is said and done, there is no conspiracy worth talking about other than the one aimed at ridding the world of its black-skinned people. The so-called “Curse of Ham”, well-preserved in the 6th century CE European version of the Babylonian Talmud, is the falsehood upon which all of the existing anti-African propaganda is essentially based. In Genesis Rabba 37 (Hebrew: B'reshith Rabba), it is said that Ham became a black man, as God’s punishment.[9]
It is worthwhile drawing the attention of the German organized civil society, and of the governing institutions, to the fact that the above reality is the root cause of the predominant racial prejudice against black-skinned people all over the world. Ever since the setting up of the above falsehood, a tremendous effort is continuously being made with the aim of ensuring that the living conditions of black-skinned people everywhere fit into the framework of the so-called “Curse of Ham”.



Owing to said effort, millions of Africans have been kidnapped, cruelly thrown into ships’ holds, deported, enslaved, and traded for goods or money by Muslims, Jews, and Christians alike for hundreds of years. On account of the very same effort, the neck of most African countries and peoples was put under the yoke of colonization. Today, said effort consists in reconquering and enslaving African peoples anew, all at once by sword and by debt.[10] By means of engineered wars and “odious debts”, African peoples are systematically being deprived of their own means of subsistence, i.e. their natural wealth and resources. Thus is conspired poverty in Africa being passed down from one generation to the next. And this simply means “ethnic cleansing”.
Only two years after the independence in 1975, rampant corruption and the criminal use of the state and the economy triggered the Nito Alves uprising, aka the 27 May, against Angola’s ruling MPLA regime. Despite the fact that Alves was Angola’s first minister of internal administration, for unspecified reason, Western academics and journalists focusing on Angola’s modern history since independence failed to mention the Nito Alves uprising, and the hundreds of thousands who were killed in its aftermath.[11] Though Angolan civil war ended in 2002, children are increasingly dying of hunger, whereas the ruling oligarchy is accumulating an ever greater wealth abroad. As recently as August 17 and 23, 2019, Voice of America echoed the cries of pain from Angola, where children are affected by hunger and infectious diseases. One must deliberately endorse the “ethnic cleansing” underway in Angola, to continue to grant loans to this country’s failed state, notorious for its kleptocracy.


The global ethnic cleansing activated by the racial prejudice against black-skinned people, which the so-called “Curse of Ham” is all about, turns out to be the shepherding force behind Benjamin Franklin’s wish to increase the number of purely white people in the world,[12] i.e. to diminish that of other races; behind Joseph Arthur de Gobineau’s theory of the Aryan master race, and Essay on the Inequality of the Human Races (white, black, and yellow); behind Napoleon Bonaparte’s resolution to block forever the march of the Blacks in the world; behind Cecil J. Rhodes’s secret societies committed to gradually absorbing the wealth of the world;[13] behind Charles De Gaulle’s Colonial Pact by means of which France (EU) deprives her former African colonies of 440 billion euros each year; behind the Yalta World Orderthat is, the Charter of Imperialism concerning Third World Countries, secretly renegotiated in Yalta in the aftermath of WWII; and behind Henry Kissinger’s conceived US foreign policy meant to depopulate less-developed countries in order to arrogate the latter’s natural wealth and resources.


As the above articles verify, Western Charter of Imperialism, i.e. the Yalta World Order, impairs considerably the United Nations’ international standing, and is therefore the greatest underminer of global peace and security. All in all, the Charter of Imperialism plays a significant part in the obstruction of Cabinda’s attainment of self-determination, self-defense, and self-respect. In other words, governments that are reluctant to cultivate peace in Cabinda, thus unwilling to take care of the creation, are deliberately displaying a clearly identifiable racial prejudice against the black-skinned people of Cabinda. In any case, we expect Germany to be impartial enough to help restore justice and peace in Cabinda, for justice in Cabinda gives the UN Security Council additional legitimacy and authority.

It is admitted that “Western Europe’s very existence depends on the resources of Africa and the continued control exercised by the Western European powers over the African continent.”[14] Yet, justice consists in reconciling this dependence with the legitimate right of African children to live prosperous lives thanks to their respective countries’ natural wealth. In this respect, one cannot help agreeing with Mr. Clemens Tönnies that all-embracing development in Africa is the proper way to curb overpopulation, and to protect the environment all at once.

Dear Dr. Uschi Eid, thank you very much for your time, your compassion, and help in this matter.

Cabinda: The German International Responsibility

Cabinda: The German International Responsibility Author: Bartolomeu Capita Joint-Presidency, Cabindan National Movement The invasion and unlawful occupation of Cabinda by “Angola” in 1974/75 is actually the result of the long-standing imperialistic rivalry between France and Germany.
