In another post, she wrote: “Wow. When you’ve had enough, the fight is almost inevitable.
“African leaders – haven’t you done enough?
“I can’t wait for the day Africa is not a weapon fashioned against Africans. All of this amazing Black power and human resource, but the majority are not likely to thrive unless they run.”
