When the Jewish State was Almost in Uganda | History of Israel Explained | Unpacked.

While the State of Israel was established in the Middle East in 1948, Zionism's founder, Theodor Herzl, once considered an African territory (part of modern-day Kenya) as a potential Jewish homeland due to rampant antisemitism in Europe, a proposal known as the "Uganda Scheme," though it was ultimately rejected in favor of a return to Palestine. Later, Israel developed complex relationships with African nations, including political and military ties with Apartheid South Africa, despite public condemnation of its policies, complicating broader African-Israeli relations. 


The "Uganda Scheme" of 1903:


  • The Offer: In 1903, British Colonial Secretary Joseph Chamberlain offered land in the East Africa Protectorate (Kenya) to the Zionist movement as a refuge for persecuted Jews.
  • The Debate: The proposal sparked intense debate at the Sixth Zionist Congress, with many feeling it was a distraction from Zion (Palestine) but others seeing it as a vital temporary haven.
  • Rejection: The plan was ultimately shelved, with Zionists reaffirming their commitment to Palestine as the historical Jewish homeland. 

Israel's Establishment (1948)

  • On May 14, 1948, David Ben-Gurion proclaimed the State of Israel in Tel Aviv, following the end of the British Mandate for Palestine.
  • This declaration led to immediate invasion by neighboring Arab states and heightened concerns for Jewish populations in Africa and Asia.

Re : [Rwanda Forum] DRC: Congo's constitutional court upholds election results, declares President Tshisekedi the winner.

L'homme aux milliers de promesses dont aucune n'a jamais été  tenue... On va voir si son slogan de campagne de chasser KAGAME et de libérer toute la RDC n'aura été qu'une simple fabrication, comme son faux diplôme... Ou alors c'est lui qui pourraît être chassé avant 🤔  En tout cas on aura tout vu... Autant l'état de délabrement de ce pays est tellement affligeant,  autant la mentalité de ceux qui l'habitent fait peur... Par où commencer ?
