TUNISIA'S PRESIDENT COMPLAINS ABOUT MIGRANTS FROM SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA, PRO-INVADER PROTESTORS CALL HIM RACIST

Protesters Oppose Racism, Back Migrants

Tunisia's president had made allegations of a sub-Saharan plot

My comment is below

The irony - American Black Nationalists often claim Egypt and Carthage as Black; Cleopatra, Hannibal, etc. Tunisia, where ancient Carthage is located, does not want invaders from black Africa.  Seems that Tunisia's President Kais Saied might disagree with them.  Indeed, Kevin Hart's proposed special on a Black Nat history of Egypt was cancelled, by the Egyptians.

Jared Diamond, in his book famous book of excusiology Guns, Germs and Steel, on why sub Saharan could not develop as other lands had, asserted, for example, the elephants of India could be trained, but African elephants could not. Yet Hannibal was able to take AFRICAN elephants across the Alps with his army in his war with Rome. If the Spaniard/Carthagian Hannibal could train the African elephants (coins of the era showed ears of African elephants, not those of India), then why did not the sub-Saharan peoples train the elephants too??

99 RED BALLOONS

 I think it was in the 1970s when a German song came to the US, "99 Luft Ballons," which became a hit here as "99 Red Balloons,"  Now we can sing it as "99 Red Party Balloons," as the new balloons are white, but unleashed by the Chinese Communist Party government.
