I know we'd like to believe that we can make deals with the 'Powers that Be' but if we're wise and have learnt from ourstory, we know you do not make legitimate deals with Devil.
Let the history of Haiti be an example
The experience of The Maroons of Jamaica be an example (Though status is being sought and practiced, the very treaty that still stands today is being fought against!)
The treaty between Italy & Menelik the II another example.
To refer to recent history, the Windrush revelation, which was not a scandal, the only scandal is that we actually believed they would uphold the policies they implemented to allow our people to stay!...
Sanctions imposed on Liberia, Zimbabwe and Tanzania.
I could go on but I'm sure you catch the drift! Overstand the message!
