Uganda: Great black men who dominated the world

The excitement caused by Obama all over Africa is justified for a people who read racist and white supremacist history (read "his story") which excludes African people and depicts them as those who swung from tree to tree like monkeys, practised cannibalism until the white man and some Arabs came to rescue them with religion and education.

Yet it has happened over and over again that an African has been called upon to rescue the dominant world, just like Obama is entering the scene at a time when the American Empire is collapsing.

Right from the days when African people populated Europe, about 4,000 years ago, they were the dominant people there. The Hottentot Venus, for example, set the standard of beauty that still stands today. African people were generals, kings and ambassadors. The Shushan Nekunta and his illustrious son Eshumunuza and the black Immortals that guarded the kings of Persia are some examples.

In Ancient Egypt, the Pharaoh Senusret (Sesostris 1878), dominated the world with a mighty army. He sent it to Europe, built forts at present-day Romania, Greece and Russia in a place called Colchia. The black population of Colchia was mentioned by Herodotus in his book, The Histories. The Black Pharaoh Rameses the Great (1293 BC) was a mighty emperor of a strong Egyptian empire. Rameses dominated the known world and fought his way up to Syria at the famous battle of Kadesh (1275 BC).

The Ethiopian King of Men, Aga Memnon, commanded Greek armies against the Trojans and was a subject of Homer's Illiad. Aesop (from Ethiopia), the wisest man of the Mediterranean and a great fabler and Lockman who was also the wisest man from the east.

After Egypt, the African torch passed to the Phoenicians and the Carthaginians. Here we have the Barca generals, Amilca and his indomitable son, Hannibal Barca, known as the father of military strategy. Hannibal (Thunder of Baal) has the reputation of being the greatest military leader and strategist of all time. Emperor Napoleon described him thus: "And this Hannibal, the most audacious of all, the most astonishing, perhaps; so bold, so sure, so great in everything, who, at 26 conceived what is hardly conceivable, executed what one may truly call the impossible."

At the time when Hannibal fought the battles of Arbocala, Saguntum, when he crossed the Alps with the Numindians, the Libyans and Ethiopians, when he defeated Rome at the battles of Trebia, Cannae and Trasimene, these stories were relished and told in Africa for hundreds of years.
