The government of Mali redistributed USD 33 million of mining revenue to the mining-affected and other underdeveloped regions of the country last week, at a ceremony in the Koulouba Presidential Palace on March 12, presided over by President Col. Assimi Goïta. Local municipalities located in active mining zones were allocated half of this amount. The other half was shared between the regional administrations within which the mining zones are located and the non-mining areas under an equalization mechanism to address the uneven development of different regions of the country.

Black Paper: Decolonize Accounting Systems

March 12, 2026 Arnie Saiki, Decolonize Accounting. Create! Decolonization, Economic Democracy, Finance, Sustainability

“The wine is made from plantain, but even if it turns sour, it is our wine.” José Martí’s line from Nuestra América is the right opening for this Black Paper because it states the core political principle in plain terms: institutions must be built from the realities of our own societies, not enforced from external powers. Decolonial accounting begins from that principle. It treats accounting as both revolution and self-determining and asks who defines value, who sets measurement rules, and who decides the terms of market entry.

Algerian Parliament Declares French Colonial Rule A Crime

December 26, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. Resist! Algeria, Decolonization, France, Reparations

Algeria’s parliament unanimously passed legislation on 24 December declaring France’s colonization of Algeria a crime, stating that “full and fair compensation for all material and moral damages” is an inalienable right of the Algerian state and people. The law was adopted by Algeria’s lower house in Algiers, with lawmakers voting in favor of a bill explicitly assigning France “legal responsibility for its colonial past in Algeria and the tragedies it caused.” The vote took place on Wednesday inside the Algerian parliament, with MPs marking the moment by standing in the chamber wearing national colors, chanting “long live Algeria,” and singing the national anthem before and after the vote.

Theme From The Bottom: Post COP30 Reflections

The first Conference of the Parties (COP) summit I attended was back in 2015, COP 21, which took place in Paris, France. At this point in my climate and environmental justice journey I was wide-eyed and perhaps even a bit naive as I believed that nation states, international bodies like the United Nations, and so-called Civil Society Organizations contained the requisite mettle and principles to take on the crisis of climate change at scale while and the root causes that maintain and exacerbate it - white “supremacy” ideology, patriarchy, and colonization - contemporaneously.

Agroecology Is A Form Of Resistance And Decolonization

In Burkina Faso, agroecology flourishes as an act of resistance. In a country where more than 80% of the active population makes their living off agriculture, peasant movements and social organizations have defended the production of healthy food and food self-sufficiency as a path to liberation from the wounds left by French neocolonialism. Leading this effort is the Yelemani Association, founded in 2009 by Blandine Sankara, sister of revolutionary leader and former president Thomas Sankara, who governed the country from 1983 to 1987, when he was assassinated.

Western Sahara’s Decolonization At Crossroads After 50 Years

November 15, 2025 Pavan Kulkarni, People's Dispatch. Resist! Decolonization, Morocco, Occupation, Sahrawi, Western Sahara

On November 6, the Sahrawis marked 50 years of occupation by the Moroccan kingdom, and continued resistance by activists, risking street violence, arrests, custodial torture, forced disappearances, and rapes by the occupation’s security forces. The anniversary came at an ominous time for the cause of Sahrawi liberation. The US, UK, and Europe, especially France, are bringing ever more pressure on the international community to legitimize the illegal occupation of Western Sahara by Morocco, which in turn is handing over the occupied resources for Western countries to loot.

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

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.

US’ ‘Pivot To The Pacific’ Provides An ‘Opportunity’ To Fight Empire

August 3, 2025 Natalia Marques, People's Dispatch. Strategize! Asian Pivot, Decolonization, Hawaii, Independence, US Empire

“Our nations are caught in the middle,” of the massive US escalation in aggression towards China, says Kawenaʻulaokalā Kapahua. Kapahua is the Political Education Chair for Hui Aloha ʻĀina, a Hawaiian independence party originally established in 1893 to resist the US occupation of Hawai’i. To him, the US drive towards war can in fact present “a major opportunity to start building, not just with ourselves in Hawai’i, but also with our Pacific comrades, neighbors, and cousins, to start fighting back.” “Our ocean is the frontline in this Cold War between China and the United States,” Kapahua articulates.

Niger’s Revolution Against French Neocolonialism Enters Third Year

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.

The Empire Never Died

May 23, 2025 Mark Curtis, Consortium News. Educate! British Empire, Decolonization, Foreign Policy, United Kingdom (UK)

There’s long been a debate over whether Britain’s Empire — the largest the world has ever known — was a good or bad thing. There’s another question though – did it really end? In some ways, obviously it did. Some 62 territories have gained independence from the U.K. in recent decades, mainly during the period from India’s fight for independence in 1947 until Zimbabwe’s in 1980. But King Charles is still the head of state of 14 Commonwealth territories, from Australia to Saint Lucia, and the U.K. controls a further 14 “Overseas Territories,” such as Gibraltar and on the island of Cyprus. The United Nations Special Committee on Decolonisation has a list of 17 territories which are “non-self governing,” or colonies in all but name. In 10 of them, the U.K. is the current administering power.

50 Years Since Lebanese Civil War, Palestinian Refugees Cling To Hope

April 13, 2025 Sabah Haider, Mondoweiss. Strategize! Decolonization, History, Israel, Lebanon, Palestine

On April 13, 1975, a busload of Palestinian civilians was ambushed in Ain al-Rummaneh, a predominantly Maronite Christian neighborhood in East Beirut, by Phalangist militiamen who committed a massacre. That moment, often cited as the spark of the Lebanese Civil War, did not emerge from a vacuum — it followed years of tension between the Lebanese state, sectarian militias, and the growing Palestinian armed presence in Lebanon, which started in 1971 when the PLO arrived after being forcibly expelled by the Jordanian state following the events of Black September. Fifty years have passed, and the debate over the role of Palestinians — specifically Palestinian factions under the PLO — in the Lebanese Civil War remains mired in a murky combination of emotions, facts, myths, scapegoating, and to some extent, political erasure.

A People’s History Of Palestine

My journey into the realm of people’s history began during my teenage years when I first read Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States. This initial exposure sparked my curiosity about how history is constructed and it led me to delve deeper into historiography — particularly the evolution of people’s history as an intellectual movement. Over the years, a wide range of historians, from Michel Foucault and Marc Bloch to Lucien Febvre and Chris Harman, each offered unique perspectives on the study of ordinary people in history.

Sahel States Exit ECOWAS, Launch Regional Passport And Joint Military

Just a year ago, on January 28, 2024, the military leaders of Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger publicly declared their intent to withdraw from the regional economic bloc. This announcement was a historic point in the Sahel’s political shift, as the three countries continue to push for sovereignty, regional security, and economic autonomy. The withdrawal took effect on January 29, 2025, as confirmed by ECOWAS. On Tuesday, January 28, 2025, the streets of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, came alive with celebration as the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) marked the first anniversary of their historic decision to leave the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).

France Must Go From Africa Is The Slogan Of The Hour

A cascade of anti-French sentiment continues to sweep across the belt of the Sahel in Africa: joining Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger, Chad and Senegal demanded in November that the French government withdraw its military from their territories. From the western border of Sudan to the Atlantic Ocean, French armed forces, which have been in the area since 1659, will no longer have a base. The statement by the foreign minister of Chad, Abderaman Koulamallah, is exemplary: ‘France… must now also consider that Chad has grown up, matured, and that Chad is a sovereign state that is very jealous of its sovereignty’.

We Can’t Decolonize Architecture Without Talking About Palestine

November 19, 2024 Palestine Collective, Next City. Organize! Architecture, Decolonization, History, Palestine

One year ago this month, Palestine Collective was born. We’re a group of more than 50 creatives in the U.K. who have the primary goal of normalizing support for Palestine in architectural and design circles, both in the academic and practitioner space. We came together in response to the censorship we were facing in our places of work and study when speaking on the human rights and spatial injustices faced by Palestinians. We have seen censorship of Palestine across top cultural institutions. London’s Barbican Centre, a prominent performing arts venue, backed out of hosting a London Review of Books lecture series over a talk called “The Shoah after Gaza.”
