Africa Boycotts Charles' Coronation
Some African leaders will boycott King Charles Coronation because they have come of age. Kids in most countries cannot wait to be 18 so they can do what they want. Barbados decided to exercise its freedom of association in December 2021. It removed the Queen as head of state and became a republic.
If Africa is truly independent, it should not kow-tow to Britain, the tiny country that became rich on stolen property: land. In business, where will you find free natural resources, labour and consumers who don’t have a choice? That was the British Empire.
Britain’s Example
African leaders that will boycott King Charles’ coronation will be following Britain’s footsteps in exercising freedom of association. Because it is a sovereign country, Britain voted to leave the European Union (EU). Freedom of association is quite common.
1. Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).
2. G7 countries (U.K. Canada, France, Germany, Italy, U.S. and Japan). They won’t allow China because they ganged up to fight Beijing’s economic power.
3. Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) countries working to reclaim economic control stolen by former colonizers in the G7 cartel.
4. Organization of African Unity (OAU).
Countries and humans form associations freely, based on common interests. Britain formed the Commonwealth to exploit colonies under the guise of civilization. Independence doesn’t alter anything. It is still a body formed by a slave master.
African leaders who boycott the Coronation, will be telling King Charles that colonization was an invasion by the Royal Navy, British explorers, army and fake Christians. They are under no obligation to attend his Coronation.
