Born and raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Stairs (1863-1892) attended the Royal Military College in Kingston before being commissioned in the British army. Wearied of peacetime soldiering, he volunteered in 1887 to participate in Sir Henry M. Stanley's final trans-African expedition to rescue Emin Pasha, the last of "Chinese" Gordon's lieutenants in the Sudan. The expedition emerged almost three years later in Zanzibar, a reluctant Pasha in tow, having left a trail of havoc and suffering behind it. Stairs promptly volunteered for a second expedition in Africa to secure Katanga for King Leopold II of the Belgians as part of the controversial Congo Free State. Stairs was a cruel leader, condoning decapitation and mutilation to attain colonial ends. The expedition succeeded, but at the price of suffering, destruction, and his own life: Stairs died of malaria at the end of the expedition at the age of twenty-eight. Few diaries of the period convey better than Stairs's the nature and course of imperialist expeditions in Africa in the nineteenth century and the psychological and moral corruption caused by absolute power. Stairs's diaries of the Emin Pasha Relief Expedition present a candid, personal account of the long and arduous venture, including a very unflattering assessment of Stanley, whom Stairs described as cruel, secretive, and selfish. The Katanga diaries, written as an official company account of the expedition, were intended partly to provide information useful to those intent upon exploiting the African hinterland. African Exploits is the most complete published collection of Stairs's diaries, with a new translation of the Katanga diaries, which no longer exist in the original English. Roy MacLaren's introduction and conclusion set Stairs's adventures in the colonial context of the era and analyse the psychological effects of his experiences.

The author believes super heroes are real and his remarkable thinking ability makes him one of them. He is the wizard of the African soil. He is not to be underrated. He solved lots of riddles using many ancient African terminologies. High five goes to science as the wizard of the African soil suddenly surrenders to its account about the origin of Man in cold shiver. Perhaps, Africans should not underrate science because it seems to know where it is heading, and at the same time, No one should underrate the scriptures because the wizard of the black Africa is full of wonders, but the bible calls him a little boy. Most riddles in the bible aren't what you think. "7" as it is used in the bible, talks about war arm coming from "above"(The executing force of heaven/Angels), this is why we have rev chapter 12 vs."7" (the part talking about the war in heaven) "7" heads of the dragon, "7" spirits of God etc. "12" as it is used in the bible symbolizes "chosen ones" that's why we have "12" disciples, "12" tribes of Israel, "12" sons of Jacob. "24" as it is used means all chosen ones both Christians and non Christians, that's why we have the "24" elders, "24" thrones: Religious discrimination made Us so blind and unable to understand that all positive religion on earth came from the same God (Lolz! relax, the wizard will explain what the "24 elders" stand for in details and with facts. You don't know, do you?) "6" stands for the "Open world" or "the human society" and Trinity "3" reveals the composition of God (three persons in one God) and the composition of the enemy of human. 6+3= "666" (Ouch!! The mark of the beast is never never never what you think. Hahahahahahaha!! Relax this Wizard of the black Africa will explain its meaning with FACTS) THE EAST as it us used in book of revelation stands for "Angle or zone of control" which means the bible is trying to reveal that the east is in war with the great foe of God and humanity..."No wonder the Christ was born in the "middle east" and no wonder most countries of the middle east fight a lot. The wizard himself is also from the east- that tribe in Nigeria that seeks freedom. They fought a war and were defeated (the wizard can also explain in facts why that war was lost, and why the war must be lost). The wizard even became "scared of himself". Why is it that every thing about him is connected with the Number "7" (even"12""east""3""6"). He was born at exactly " 12" O'clock in the "7th" month in the family of 7...born in the north but relocated to the east (zone of control which is at war) when he was "7"(war arms from above) the address mysteriously being "N0. 6"when it is the "3rd"(3) building in the street...etc. Some details about him and his exploits are put down in this book. He is real.

China was not required to devote time, attention, and resources to Africa. But it did, in Algeria, Ghana, and Tanzania, especially. China skillfully used its limited diplomatic, intelligence, and economic means to gain traction on the continent. It sought influence through a combination of means - through shaping perceptions, developing personal relationships, and providing tangible assistance. There was a rhyme and reason to China's early approach to the continent. And that rhyme and reason remains much the same today. Viewed in the broader historical and strategic contexts, China's current presence in Africa demonstrates continuity with the past rather than a renewed focus. This book contributes vitally to the discourse on Sino-African history and adds to the contemporary strategic understanding and debate about China in Africa.
