Asserting the “inalienable right of Africans and people of African descent to full reparations” for “slavery, colonialism, apartheid, and systemic exploitation”, an international Pan-African conference on November 18 and 19 adopted the Accra Declaration on Reparatory Justice. Mandating the establishment of a “Pan-African Reparatory Justice Coordinating Committee” and laying out the next steps to be taken, the Accra declaration signalled “a new era of coordinated global action on reparatory justice,” said the Pan-African Progressive Front (PPF). A global platform undertaking research, advocacy, and grassroots mobilization to strengthen the Pan-African movement, the PPF organized this event to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the historic 5th Pan-African Congress in October 1945 in Manchester, England.

Africa’s Recent Elections: Crisis And A Continent’s Youth In Revolt

The past few months have seen three elections across Africa, in Tanzania, Cameroon, and Côte d’Ivoire. Each exposed a deepening democratic crisis on the continent. While the ballot boxes were filled and the slogans of “stability” and “unity” were loudly proclaimed, the underlying reality was very different; repression, exclusion, and a profound disconnect between the political class and the masses, especially youth. In all three cases, aging leaders clung to power through electoral processes that were anything but democratic.

Across Africa and the world, progressive and popular organizations are raising their voices in solidarity with the people of Sudan, as they face one of the most brutal and protracted conflicts in the world today. From Ghana to South Africa, from international networks to grassroots movements, the message is unified in a call to end the massacres, open humanitarian corridors, and uphold the Sudanese people’s struggle for justice, peace, and sovereignty. Amid mounting international condemnation for its war crimes, especially over the last several weeks, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have reportedly agreed to a three-month pause in the fighting.

The Need For Revolutionary Pan-Africanism

October 2025 marks eighty years since the historic Fifth Pan-African Congress convened in Manchester, United Kingdom, in 1945. This congress became a revolutionary turning point in the global struggle against colonialism and imperialism. It brought together a remarkable group of African and Caribbean thinkers, workers, trade unionists, and political leaders, including Ghanaian leader Kwame Nkrumah, Caribbean-born US-based communist leader George Padmore, Trinidadian historian CLR James, Kenyan freedom fighter Jomo Kenyatta, Jamaican Pan-Africanist Amy Ashwood Garvey, and ITA Wallace-Johnson, who collectively articulated a new vision of African liberation and self-determination.

Repoliticizing A Generation

October 22, 2025 Amber Murrey, Africa Is A Country. Strategize! Africa, Anti-Imperialism, Pan Africanism, Thomas Sankara

Yesterday marked the 38th anniversary of the assassination of Thomas Sankara, who, on October 15, 1987, was killed alongside twelve of his comrades during a coup led by Blaise Compaoré. Sankara’s brief but transformative presidency (1983–1987) reoriented Burkina Faso’s political economy toward self-reliance, gender equality, ecological stewardship, and non-alignment in global affairs. For more than three decades, Aziz Salmone Fall, a pan-African activist, political scientist, and coordinator of the International Campaign Justice for Sankara (ICJS), has worked with Sankara’s family, Burkinabè activists, and international allies to demand truth and accountability.

In Honor Of Comrade Abiodun Aremu

The Black Alliance for Peace Africa Team and U.S. Out of Africa Network join the masses in Nigeria and across the African continent in mourning the tragic loss of our comrade and U.S. Out of Africa Network Steering Committee member, Abiodun Aremu. Comrade Aremu was a Pan-Africanist and an internationalist in the truest sense. His profound understanding of the struggle extended beyond the borders of Nigeria, rooted in a deep commitment to the liberation of the entire African working class from the grip of imperialism. As a teacher and a steadfast general, his life was dedicated to the ideological and political work necessary for our collective emancipation, exemplified by his founding of the Amilcar Cabral Institute of Ideological Studies.

World Bank Acknowledges Poverty Increase In Nigeria

October 14, 2025 Pavan Kulkarni, People's Dispatch. Educate! Africa, Austerity, Bola Tinubu, Neoliberalism, Nigeria, Poverty, World Bank (WB)

The World Bank projects that 139 million Nigerians will be living in poverty by the end of this year, a nearly 60% increase from 87 million in 2023, when President Bola Tinubu started implementing the reforms it had prescribed on the first day of his term. Promising to slash petrol prices during his election campaign, Tinubu declared in his presidential inaugural speech on May 29, 2023, “the fuel subsidy is gone,” overseeing a petrol price hike of nearly 488% in Africa’s largest producer by October 2024. This also increased the price of electricity multifold because more than 58% of the Nigerian households, left out of the national grid, rely on petrol and diesel generators. With storage capacity and cold-chain logistics limited, a lack of “reliable access to power also leads to high food losses.

Africa Will Be Free When The IMF Stops Colluding To Steal Its Wealth

October 10, 2025 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. Educate! Africa, Imperialism, International Monetary Fund (IMF), Senegal

In February 2025, Senegal’s Court of Auditors released a report that found ‘anomalies’ in the management of public finances between 2019 and 2024, during the presidency of Macky Sall (2012–2024). For instance, the court found that while Sall’s government had suggested that the budget deficit for 2023 was 4.9% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), it was in fact 12.3%. The court went to work on this reconstruction of public finances because of a very significant accusation made by Senegal’s new prime minister, Ousmane Sonko, at a press conference in Dakar in September 2024. What the auditors found, and what the International Monetary Fund (IMF) validated, was that the actual debt ratio in 2023 was 99.7% of GDP – not 74.7% – and that the deficit had been underestimated by 5.6% of GDP (in August 2025, the debt ratio was revised to 111% of GDP).

Until Dignity Becomes Customary: The Determination Of Francia Márquez Mina

October 2, 2025 Charo Mina Rojas, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Africa, Afro-descendants, Colombia, Foreign Relations

Colombia is the third country after Brazil and the United States with the largest Afro-descendant population in the Americas. With more than ten million people of African origins, cultures and practices rooted in Yoruba and Bantu philosophies, traditional languages such as the Palenquero, rhythms and even forms of self-identification that express roots with the continent, in Colombia it is still asked: why Africa? In 2022, the government of President Gustavo Petro, a government for change, structured in the National Development Plan and foreign policy, the “Africa Strategy 2022-2026,” responded to Vice President Francia Márquez Mina’s initiative to pay more attention to the African continent and to develop concrete, meaningful relations with its countries.

Africa Climate Summit Reflections Part 2: The Youth Are Getting Restless…

September 17, 2025 Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Africa, Africa Climate Summit (ACS2), climate crisis, nonprofit industrial complex, Youth Activism

Last week, my piece on the second Africa Climate Summit (ACS2) focused on the specter of a new phase of African neocolonialism, technocrats and cryptocolonizers who used the summit to promote a series of false climate solutions including, but not limited to, rendering the continent into a sink for carbon markets as a well as artificial intelligence technology. Africa, irrefutably, is the continent in possession of the most valuable natural resources in the world from its minerals, forests and biodiversity, to its people, which is why they all continue to be pillaged to fuel the engine of global racial capitalism. That said, Africa’s most precious and valuable resource is its abundance of young people.

Somalia Resistance Targets US AFRICOM Base Over Gaza Genocide

September 13, 2025 Betsey Piette, Workers' World. Resist! Africa, AFRICOM, Al Shabaab, Gaza, Israel, Palestine, Palestine Solidarity, Somalia, US Imperialism

The Somalia resistance group Al-Shabaab issued a statement on Sept. 4 claiming responsibility for an attack on U.S. military forces in retaliation for U.S. support for Israel in the ongoing genocidal war in Gaza. The U.S. forces were at a base located near Kismayo Airport in southern Somalia. Blogger Muhammad Od reported in a You Tube video on Sept. 5: “According to a statement by the movement, quoted in the local Baidoa Online website, the operation targeted the ‘American camp’ in response to the war in Gaza, and resulted in ‘heavy losses among U.S. soldiers and the destruction of military vehicles.’” Od noted that in its X account, AFRICOM acknowledged the attack but claimed it was “indirect” with no serious damage.

The Second Africa Climate Summit Reveals The New Face Of Colonialism

September 11, 2025 Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Africa, Africa Climate Summit (ACS2), Colonialism, Ethiopia, greenwashing, Technocrats

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia - Ethiopia may be impoverished financially, but is irrefutably one of the wealthiest nations I’ve ever been to as it pertains to culture, heritage, and national pride. Addis Ababa is a proper city that is clearly rising with new construction everywhere from housing, to hotels, and infrastructure that includes the largest hydroelectric dam on the continent, which began operations on September 9, 2025. To this end, the vibrant city with its gregarious and affable residents was more than an appropriate location to host the second bi-annual Africa Climate Summit (ACS2). This is especially true as ACS2 was held at a time when Ethiopia is celebrating its national New Year Holiday and the opening of its new, aforementioned, hydroelectric dam, the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), which Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed hailed as, “the greatest achievement in the history of the Black race.”

A Year Later, Africa’s Gen Z Uprising Is Only More Emboldened

September 7, 2025 Obiora Ikoku, Waging Nonviolence. Organize! Africa, Gen Z, Kenya, Nigeria, Social Media, Youth Activism

Over the past year, a wave of mass protests has swept through the capitals of some African states. From Nairobi to Lagos, Accra to Dakar, angry protesters have marched to the sound of exploding tear gas shells and live bullets to rail against hunger and inequality while demanding an end to IMF austerity. From June to August this year, the movement rose again with tens of thousands exploding onto the streets in Kenya, while hundreds of activists turned up at an anniversary event in Lagos, Nigeria to reflect and map out next steps. Provoked by deep economic frustrations and lack of opportunities, these youth-led protests have shaken Africa’s aging ruling classes to their bones, making a forceful argument for a new social pact, anchored on a paradigm of national sovereignty, inclusive growth and social welfare.

‘Inequality In Kenya: View From Kibera’ Documentary Premieres

August 28, 2025 Ajamu Baraka, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Africa, Documentary, Kenya, Poverty, Structural Racism

Poverty is an artificial creation. Join political activist and Black Agenda Report’s contributing editor Ajamu Baraka and members of the Communist Party Marxist-Kenya on a trip to Kibera, Africa’s largest slum. It is symptomatic of a larger issue because, despite Nairobi being the wealthiest county in Kenya, contributing 27% of the country’s GDP, 60% of its 5 million residents live in squalor across 200 slums. Successive governments since independence have done little to change the status quo, leaving the people to predatory organizations that, at best, provide a band-aid to a gaping wound, or at worst, serve to depoliticize the masses. Black Agenda Report & North-South Project for People(s)-Centered Human Rights have come together to re-release African Stream’s Mini-Doc: “Inequality in Kenya: View from Kibera”.

When The Empire Chokes, The South Breathes

The story they sell is that “order” was built by reasoned men in sensible suits. The story we live is different. Multipolarity did not grow out of seminars or summits; it is the aftershock of five centuries of plunder, the recoil from wars and sanctions, and the refusal of the colonized to keep paying for someone else’s civilization. Its genealogy runs from the Bandung Communiqué (1955)—the first great gathering where the majority of humanity spoke in its own name—through the long detour of debt, structural adjustment, and counter-insurgency masquerading as “development.” Bandung’s promise was simple and subversive: sovereignty, peaceful coexistence, cooperation, and a say in the world economy for those who actually make the world economy run.
