Several years ago we had a discussion of Israel interests in Kenya, Mombasa IIRC, that was most interesting at the time. This would have been about Israeli influence during the transition from British rule to independence in the early 1960s.
I think it was on the Bomford long thread, but haven’t dug it out of there yet. Still sifting.
In light of this week’s international events re: Bibi and Barry, and also the buzz from this post, I would like to re-read that discussion.
Does this ring a bell with you? I would appreciate help from you or any FReeper who recalls the conversation.

somewhere on this thread, related to the establishment of The Black Star Line, the shipping line Ghana established with funds supplied by Israel.
The Black Star Line was registered in Israel as the ZIM LINE.
Marxist influence via communist African-American expats resulted in Ghana turning its back on Israel. Nkrumah ruined the economy of Ghana with the help of people such as W.E.B. Du Bois and his wife Shirley Graham Du Bois, great friend of Malcolm X.
