ABSTRACT
The slave trade might have been abolished, but slavery is continuing. Colonialism is officially over, but coloniality is going full throttle. There were many multilateral interventions and initiatives especially from Eurocentric organisations. International “donor” organisations and non-governmental organisations also intervened in trying to “solve” the African problem. Regarding Somalia, it can be argued that there are basically three Somalias: an Italian Somalia, a French Somalia, and a British Somalia. There is in fact very little evidence of a Somali Somalia in Somalia. Sudan before the break-up was always a typical case of a secession waiting to happen, or, more correctly, to be caused. Political power is mainly contested and amassed because it gives unfettered access to economic processes which drive capitalism. Before colonising Africa, Europe was a poor continent. Ironically, it is Europe which first colonised the Americas when the Vikings left Scandinavia for what is now Newfoundland.
