#introduction

#developer from #germany - #westerwald

I have fun with #diy, #electronics, #programming, #cnc-machining, #3dprinting, #cocktail-robots, #reverse-engineering, ... - check my website.

Special love for #angola and #equatorial-guinea - interested in #startups and #entrepreneurship - enjoy watching #birds and going on walks - probably old.

Want to have a pluralistic, diverse and open-minded society.

I'll try to focus on the positive and not rant too much.

Wir haben einen #Trailer. Und ihr seht ihn als erste. Weil wir #Mastodon lieben! Großen Dank an #TobiUndTron aus #Frankfurt für das coole Video.

Besucht uns vom 23. bis zum 26. Januar 2025 im #Filmklubb und #57Nord in #Offenbach ! Gerne weitersagen!

US presidents only very rarely visit Africa. Biden’s trip to #Angola is his first to Africa as president. Trump in his first term never set foot on the continent. So, why Angola? My Daily Brief:

U.S. President Joe Biden landed in Angola on Monday for a visit focused on a U.S.-backed railway project and on the legacy of slavery, but his decision to pardon his son Hunter Biden threatened to overshadow the official agenda. #us #usa #news #minimarketonlineltd #minimarket #America #AmericaNews #AmericaFirst #SaveAmerica #Biden #joebiden #angola

In the history of the #revolts against #slavery, enslaved #women must not be reduced to the role of passive victims of colonial violence. This is particularly evident in the case of Carlota #Lucumí, who heroically defended herself against her oppressors with a machete in her hand and is still considered a revolutionary #symbol of Cuba today.
Long before the Cuban Revolution, the so-called #Triunvirato #Revolution shaped the history of the island, during which numerous #slaves rose up against their owners. It was a large movement that took hold of several plantations. For once, the rebellion was led by a woman who is now revered as a hero and #resistance fighter in #Cuba: #Carlota.

‘Operation Carlota, Cuba's internationalist #solidarity mission with the peoples of Angola and #South Africa, was to last more than 15 years. During this time, more than 330,000 Cubans served in #Angola to defend the independence and #freedom and the right of Angola, the #self-determination of the peoples of southern #Africa.’
