Senegal On The Edge Of Collapse

March 27, 2026 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental Institute for Social Research. Educate! Debt, Economic crisis, Global South, International Monetary Fund (IMF), Neocolonialism, Senegal

Senegal entered 2026 in the grip of a growing debt crisis that seems insurmountable. After the government of President Bassirou Diomaye Faye took power in April 2024, it became clear that his predecessor, Macky Sall (who held office from 2012 to 2024), had concealed enormous liabilities – including hidden loans equivalent to 25.3 percent of GDP – from the Senegalese people and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). These liabilities expose a structural contradiction: a development model subordinated to external finance has clear limits. Senegal can no longer continue along this path.

Peter Thiel Is Unleashing A Neocolonial Billionaire Fantasy In Honduras

February 16, 2026 Edith Romero, Truthout. Educate! Honduras, Neocolonialism, Palantir, Peter Thiel, ZEDES

In April 2025, Peter Thiel’s Palantir made headlines after documents were released detailing its partnership with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to create ImmigrationOS, a massive database of information gathered from a variety of sources including the IRS, in order to surveil, detain, and deport immigrants. Thiel is not new to spearheading endeavors that aim to dehumanize and attack people of color. In fact, the tech mogul is one of the billionaires leading our modern-day version of tech neocolonialism, the new-yet-old imperial monster that colonizes land, extracts resources, exploits natives, and is happy to profit off of their suffering.

Is Greenland Next?

January 8, 2026 Peter Bach, Counter Punch. Educate! Donald Trump, Greenland, Neocolonialism, US Imperialism

In the recent Atlantic interview, Donald Trump reiterated that the United States “absolutely needs Greenland,” effectively renewing his push for American control or influence over the Danish territory, a stance drawing sharp criticism from Denmark and Greenland’s leaders, and which many had hoped had gone away. As Thucydides—more accustomed to the warm waters of the Mediterranean than to the icebergs of the Greenland Sea—once observed, “The strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.” Trump, only a few days earlier, had reasserted his desire to take Greenland, stating that the United States “has to have” it for national security reasons, though it is no secret to say he also likes its potential for recoverable rare earths.

Algeria Hosts Conference On The Crimes Of Colonialism In Africa

December 9, 2025 Nicholas Mwangi, People's Dispatch. Strategize! Africa, Algeria, Colonialism, Imperialism, Neocolonialism, Pan Africanism, Reparations

On December 1, 2025, African leaders, diplomats, and scholars gathered in Algiers, Algeria for a conference on the crimes of colonialism in Africa. Dubbed, The International Conference on Colonial Crimes in Africa: Towards Correcting Historical Injustices by Criminalizing Colonialism, the event occurred under the leadership of President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, and culminated in the drafting and adoption of the Algiers Declaration. The statement consolidates decades of reparations and anti-colonial advocacy into a coherent continental position.

Strategic Convergences Between Africa, Asia And Latin America

December 7, 2025 Mohamed Lamine Kaba, Orinoco Tribune. Strategize! Africa, ALBA, Asia, Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), BRICS, Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC), Imperialism, Latin America, Neo-Imperialism, Neocolonialism, US Hegemony

The current shift in the world order reveals a deep tension. While the West, weakened by its internal crises and geopolitical contradictions, is trying to preserve its declining leadership, Africa, Asia and Latin America are quietly rebuilding the lines of force of the Global South. Driven by shared memories of domination and renewed aspirations for sovereignty, these regions are now forging strategic convergences that are giving new meaning to tricontinental solidarity. In this context, their struggles against neocolonialism and neo-imperialism are taking on decisive importance in redefining the balance of power in the 21st century and opening up new prospects for their common future.

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

November 14, 2025 Nicholas Mwangi, People's Dispatch. Strategize! Africa, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Democracy, Dictatorship, Elections, Neocolonialism, Neoliberalism, Political repression, Tanzania, US Imperialism

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.

Peru’s Executive In Crisis

November 2, 2025 Clau O'Brien Moscoso, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Constitution, coup, Dina Boluarte, Neocolonialism, Pedro Castillo, Peru

On October 9, 2025, the Peruvian Congress once again voted to vacate the executive; this time the usefulness of their puppet Dina Boluarte had run out. With more than 80 deaths under her belt during the 2022-23 uprisings predominantly in the Southern mineral rich regions of Peru, Dina Boluarte was sacrificed to the altar of a dictatorial right wing Congress. With 122 votes in favor of vacating the region’s most unpopular president for “permanent moral incapacity” amid growing crime and protests in the capitol city demanding action. Congress swiftly approved the new Interim President, president of the Congress, José Jerí. Within days of taking power, the new “president” (perhaps more accurately named Congressional coup figurehead), faced the same level of mass protests as had taken place during the Boluarte regime.

AES Countries Exit ICC, Denounce It As Instrument Of Neo-Colonial Repression

September 24, 2025 Pavan Kulkarni, People's Dispatch. Resist! Alliance of Sahel States (AES), Burkina Faso, Coups, Imperialism, International Criminal Court (ICC), Mali, Neocolonialism, Niger

The Alliance of Sahel States (AES) announced its immediate withdrawal from the International Criminal Court (ICC) on Monday, condemning it as a tool of “imperialism”, silent about the worst crimes by the West and its allies while selectively pursuing its opponents. Ratifying the Rome Statute in the early 2000s, its three member countries – Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger – have been members of the ICC for over three decades. “However, over time, they have come to observe that this jurisdiction has transformed into an instrument of neo-colonial repression in the hands of imperialism, thereby becoming the global example of selective justice,” states the AES communique on September 22.

The Historical And Contemporary Role Of Neocolonial Caribbean Governments In Supporting US Militarism And Imperialism

September 12, 2025 Tamanisha John, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Neocolonialism, the Caribbean, US Imperialism, Venezuela

The Caribbean region is a clearly militarized zone with the United States at the helm. Today’s militarization in the region is reminiscent of the kinds of earlier iterations, also led by the US, from the 1970s to the early 2000s.[1] The US Trump administration reportedly carried out a missile strike in the Caribbean on September 2nd under the pretense of combatting drug trafficking in the region. Based on video released by the US, the military strike utilized a drone and/or aerial bomb to target a boat that allegedly departed from Venezuela – which the US State Department accuses of being a “narco-trafficking organization” and not a state[2] – and purportedly contained non-specified drugs and 11 unidentified human beings (so-called “narco-traffickers.”)

The Monsters Of The Global Crisis Interregnum

August 18, 2025 Carmen Navas Reyes, People's Dispatch. Strategize! BRICS, Capitalism, climate crisis, Hunger, Imperialism, Inequality, Neocolonialism, Poverty

The famous quote by Italian Marxist philosopher Antonio Gramsci seems to have been written for the moment humanity is currently experiencing: “The old is dying, and the new cannot be born. In this interregnum, monsters arise.” The world is going through a civilizational crisis in which the neoliberal capitalist order, although mortally wounded, continues to impose its predatory logic, that of the use of force and the resurgence of fascism, while emancipatory alternatives fail to consolidate. In this vacuum, monsters proliferate: wars and attempts at recolonization, climate crisis, structural hunger, collapse of multilateralism and international law placed at the service of the world’s powers that be.

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.

Brother Of Pan-Africanist Leader Thomas Sankara Grateful For Traore

August 13, 2025 Pedro Stropasolas, People's Dispatch. Strategize! Alliance of Sahel States (AES), Anti-colonialism, Burkina Faso, Ibrahim Traore, Neocolonialism, Pan Africanism, Thomas Sankara

We’re standing in front of the Thomas Sankara Memorial, in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso’s capital. Inaugurated on May 17 in the presence of various African heads of state and public figures, the site symbolizes a collective desire to preserve the legacy of the Burkinabé pan-Africanist leader Thomas Sankara and his 12 comrades who were assassinated in the 1987 coup d’état. The massacre, orchestrated by Sankara’s then-ally Blaise Compaoré – who became president and ruled until 2014 with support from France – interrupted a wave of transformative reforms meant to eliminate the scars of neocolonialism in the Sahel nation. In just four years, Sankara redistributed land to peasants and raised the literacy rate from 13% in 1983 to 73% in 1987. His radical transformation also extended to public health: 2.5 million children were vaccinated against meningitis, yellow fever, and measles.

How The Global Majority Can Free Itself From US Financial Colonialism

July 19, 2025 Michael Hudson, Geopolitical Economy. Educate! Anti-Imperialism, BRICS, China, Global Economy, Multipolar World, Neocolonialism

Industrial capitalism was revolutionary in its fight to free Europe’s economies and parliaments from the hereditary privileges and vested interests that survived from feudalism. To make their manufactures competitive in world markets, industrialists needed to end the land rent paid to Europe’s landed aristocracies, the economic rents extracted by trade monopolies, and interest paid to bankers who played no role in financing industry. These rentier incomes add to the economy’s price structure, raising the living wage and other business expenses, thus eating into profits.

Niger Nationalizes Uranium Mining Company

July 16, 2025 Carlos Lopes Pereira, Workers World. Resist! France, Mining, Nationalization, Neocolonialism, Niger, Uranium

After taking other initiatives aimed at better controlling and managing its natural resources, Niger has announced that it will nationalize the mainly French-owned company that has been mining uranium in that African country for decades. In question is Somair, the only uranium mine still in operation in the country. Somair was operated by Orano (formerly called Areva), a French multinational specializing in nuclear fuels. Orano had already had its rights to export Nigerien uranium and its operational control of the company withdrawn. The authorities in Niamey, Niger’s capital, explained their decision by accusing Orano of “irresponsible acts,” namely extracting more than its authorized share of uranium.

Can We Build Robust Public Administration Institutions In The Global South?

July 4, 2025 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. Educate! Economic inequality, Global South, Negotiations, Neocolonialism

A decade ago, I was a fly on the wall during a trade negotiation between the United States and a small country in Southeast Asia. What interested me was not the substance of the negotiation, the deliberations around an issue of minor concern to world affairs but of great concern to this one country, but the disproportionality between the personnel at the negotiating table. The delegation from the United States that arrived at this nondescript office in Geneva, Switzerland, was considerable in two respects: first, it had an overabundance of lawyers and associates, and second, they came armed with a large number of binders that had all the paperwork for their case, replete with labelled page-holders so that they could dive directly into the points they needed to make in the discussion.
