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.

Thomas Sankara’s Legacy Is Alive In The Sahel

August 15, 2025 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. Educate! Africa, Burkina Faso, Revolution, Thomas Sankara

In the months after the 1987 coup in Burkina Faso that killed President Thomas Sankara, screen printers in the capital, Ouagadougou, began to churn out shirts with Sankara’s face on them. The image soon spread throughout the country. Blaise Compaoré, Sankara’s former minister of justice, went on to rule the country until 2014. He was suspected from the outset of orchestrating Sankara’s murder, but it would take the Burkinabé courts until 2021–2022 to find him guilty. By then, he had long fled to Côte d’Ivoire, where he remains a fugitive. Throughout his time in office, Compaoré claimed to be a follower of Sankara – a political legacy he could not afford to disavow.

US Censorship, Pan-Africanism And The Rise Of Africa’s Resistance

August 15, 2025 Mnar Adley and Alan MacLeod, MintPress News. Resistance Report Africa, Censorship, Decolonization, Media, Pan-African unity, Press Freedom, Sahel region, West Africa

On this episode of the MintCast, hosts Mnar Adley and Alan MacLeod speak with Ahmed Kaballo, the man behind the viral media outlet that the U.S. government has been trying to silence. In September, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken gave a speech smearing media platform African Stream as secretly funded and controlled by Vladimir Putin himself. As Blinken said: According to the outlet’s website, ‘African Stream is’ – and I quote ‘a pan-African digital media organization based exclusively on social media platforms, focused on giving a voice to all Africans, both at home and abroad.’ In reality, the only voice it gives is to Kremlin propagandists.” Blinken provided no evidence to support these assertions. Yet, within hours, Silicon Valley reacted and crushed Kaballo’s organization. African Stream’s YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook pages were permanently deleted, while its Twitter account was demonetized.

Understanding The Plot To Break Ghana And Destroy The AES Countries

August 13, 2025 Edzorna Francis Mensah, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Africa, Alliance of Sahel States (AES), Ghana, Neocolonialism, Nigeria, Propaganda, Regime Change, Revolution

There’s a storm brewing over Ghana, and it didn’t start yesterday. The tragedy is layered, the signs are familiar, and for those who have lived through history’s brutal cycles of foreign meddling and orchestrated collapse, it’s déjà vu all over again. Since President John D. Mahama came to power, Ghana has been quietly strengthening ties with Sahel countries, especially Burkina Faso and Mali, who have rejected French and American military presence and charted new Pan-African courses. The AES alliance threatens Western hegemony. It signals a post-FRANCOPHONE, post-NATO Africa. Ghana’s collaboration with these countries raised alarm bells in London, Paris, and Washington.

Niger’s Revolution Against French Neocolonialism Enters Third Year

July 31, 2025 Pavan Kulkarni, People's Dispatch. Educate! Africa, Alliance of Sahel States (AES), Decolonization, France, Neo-Colonization, Niger, Pan Africanism

Under siege by France’s monetary strangulation and a war against their state by armed groups, Nigeriens marked the second anniversary of the July 26 revolution against French neocolonialism. The wave of mass protests against French military deployment in its former colonies had already washed away the regimes it had propped up in Mali and Burkina Faso when Niger’s then-president, Mohamad Bazoum, was also toppled in a coup on this date in 2023. With the support of pan-Africanists, the left, and the mass movement protesting against French domination, the coup leader, General Abdourahamane Tchiani, established the National Council for the Safeguard of the Homeland (CNSP) as a military government.

A Scramble For Minerals Under The Guise Of Peace

July 7, 2025 Maurice Carney, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Africa, Donald Trump, DR Congo, Imperialism, minerals

The Trump Administration brokered a vaunted peace agreement between the Republic of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) on June 27, 2025. The Agreement was witnessed by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and signed by Rwandan Foreign Minister, Olivier Nduhungirehe and DRC Foreign Minister, Therese Kayikamba-Wagner. The Agreement is a codification of the Declaration of Principles that the two foreign ministers signed on April 25th under the aegis of Marco Rubio at the State Department. The Signing of the Agreement on June 27th was followed up on the same day with a White House ceremony and briefing that included the two foreign ministers, Secretary Rubio, Vice-President JD Vance, and Trump's Senior Advisor for Africa, Massad Boulos.

US Policy On Sudan Hurts Civilians Rather Than Warring Factions

June 29, 2025 Zeina Mohammed and Ragad Babiker, Scheer Post. Educate! Africa, Sudan, Trump Administration, Wars and Militarism

As the war in Sudan enters its third year, experts, activists, and other community members say recent U.S. foreign policy is hurting, not helping, civilians. This month, the Trump administration banned Sudanese nationals, in addition to 11 other nationalities, from entering the U.S., a couple of weeks after the administration imposed sanctions on the country, claiming the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) used chemical weapons in their fight with Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Both moves, experts say, have drastically reduced resources and mobility for civilians at the center of the world’s worst humanitarian crisis more than they hinder the competing armed forces. As of this April, nearly 13 million people have been displaced, according to the United Nations Refugee Agency.

War Propaganda, State Controlled Media, And The End Of African Stream

June 27, 2025 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Africa, African Stream, Corporate Media, Media, Propaganda, US Imperialism

Every accusation is a confession when war propaganda is being spread by the state and its minions in corporate media. That adage is especially true when corporate media in the west use the term “state controlled” when they want to make the case for wars of aggression and to discredit those nations they label “adversaries.” If anyone is controlled by the state, it is the networks and major newspapers that can be counted on to march in lock step and repeat every narrative that is used to justify U.S. actions around the world. There is no stronger state control of media than in the United States and the collective west.

Despite The Pain In The World, Socialism Is Not A Distant Utopia

June 20, 2025 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. Educate! Africa, Asia, Global South, Imperialis, Latin America, m, Multipolar World, Socialism

Every morning, I open the newspapers (now on apps rather than print) and read about atrocities taking place across the world. There is an inflation of pain, from the genocide in Gaza to the war in Sudan and the unreported chaotic violence in and around Myanmar. These conflicts seem interminable and might even confuse the casual observer who does not follow them closely. The current phase of Sudan’s war began in April 2023, with the Sudanese Armed Forces (led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan) arrayed against the Rapid Support Forces (led by Commander Mohamed ‘Hemedti’ Hamdan Dagalo).

Burkina Faso, Ibrahim Traoré, And The Land Of The Upright People

June 7, 2025 Pan Africanism Today Secretariat, People's Dispatch. Create! Africa, African Liberation Day, Alliance of Sahel States (AES), Anti-Imperialism, Burkina Faso, Ibrahim Traore, Imperialism, NATO, neo-colonialism, Pan Africanism, Sovereignty

Since his ascension to power on September 30, 2022, Captain Ibrahim Traoré has become a powerful symbol of Pan-Africanism and a stark contrast to the previous state of affairs in Burkina Faso. His leadership embodies unquestionable patriotism, committed sovereignty, and a clear vision for the future. The emergence of Captain Ibrahim Traoré and a similar style of leadership in the Sahel has reignited confidence in Pan-Africanism and inspired the youth throughout Africa. This beacon of hope has triggered aspirations among citizens across the continent regarding how their countries should be governed. Indeed, due to his unwavering commitment and patriotism, Captain Ibrahim Traoré has become a star, an inspiration, and a champion of anti-imperialism, posing a genuine threat to imperialism in Africa.

Using Lessons From The Horn Of Africa To Protect Alliance Of Sahelian States

June 4, 2025 Abdirahman M. Ahmed, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Africa, Alliance of Sahel States (AES), Burkina Faso, Horn of Africa, Mali, Niger

The Sahel region, stretching between the Sahara and the savannas of Africa, is once again emerging as a battleground, not only of geography but of ideas, sovereignty, and neocolonial entrenchment. The formation of the Alliance of Sahelian States (AES) , uniting Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger into a confederation, marks a bold attempt to reclaim Pan-African agency and assert sovereignty free from foreign domination. Officially established on July 6, 2024, in Niamey, Niger, the AES reflects a transitional phase toward a unified federation, a development met with celebration across Africa and the Global South, but with growing alarm in Western capitals.

Why We Must Reclaim African Liberation Day

May 26, 2025 Kambale Musavuli, People's Dispatch. Educate! Africa, African Liberation Day, Alliance of Sahel States (AES), Anti-Imperialism, Kambale Musavuli, Pan Africanism

Our generation is living through a seismic shift in the struggle for African liberation. We are witnessing the rise of a new revolutionary Pan-Africanism that challenges imperialism not just in words, but in action. On one front, Captain Ibrahim Traoré stands as a living embodiment of our ancestors’ dreams. In the spirit of Kwame Nkrumah, he is leading Burkina Faso through a profound dialectical transformation – reclaiming land and resources, dismantling neo-colonial dependencies, and ensuring the wealth of the soil serves the people of Burkina Faso. It is a rupture with imperialism, a bold step toward a dignified and sovereign Africa.
