Kenya’s antigovernment protests continues into the second month and are similar to Ghana’s in 2022, as both started from over taxation and worsening living standard, problems absent in South East Asia (e.g. Vietnam), which was also colonized. Kenya, Ghana, and Zambia have attempted development for 6 decades but lag behind Vietnam, which started developing under 4 decades ago. Clearly, Kenya and African countries need to change their development model from the World Bank/IMF’s neoliberal Ponzi for enriching western corporations.

Ethiopian authorities are looking for a way to break through the established geographical blockade. The ambitious Ethiopian Prime Minister, Abiy Ahmed, took up this task. Experts say that Ethiopia’s determination to have its own port facilities in the Red Sea is leading to increased tensions in the strategically important Horn of Africa region.

Today, while the US government and political think-tanks are looking for ways to solve the trilemma posed by its African policy, namely, which of its three goals (the development of democracy, the fight against terrorism and its competition with other world powers, primarily China) to prioritize, terrorism is spreading like a cancer to the coastal countries on the Gulf of Guinea.

In the study of international relations, the annals of the history of Franco-African relations are fraught with dark memories that define the future of Franco-African cooperation. After the abolition and dismantling of colonialism, the colonial empires of England and France each maliciously designed a system for perpetuating colonial domination in Africa: Françafrique and the Commonwealth of Nations.

The U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee held a hearing entitled “Conflict and Humanitarian Emergency in Sudan: A Call to Action,” which was attended by U.S. Special Envoy for Sudan Tom Perriello. He began his remarks with a pharisaical expression of regret for the catastrophic situation in Sudan, warning of famine, ongoing ethnic and regional fighting, and the potential collapse of a nation of 50 million people…

Africa’s misfortune is to have encountered the West on its path. This article paints a dark picture of past and present of relations between Africa and the West – relations that jeopardise the future of the continent. The phrase “the West brings bad luck to Africa” is both an expression of popular revolt and a pointed statement that reflects a range of historical, political and economic perspectives…

In the contemporary global confrontation between the planetary minority represented by Western regimes and their puppets – representing the bloc of those nostalgic for the bygone unipolar order, on the one hand, and the non-Western global majority – the multipolar world – on the other hand, several orientations are found there. Of course – the psychological war waged by the Western minority against a number of African states and in particular those belonging to the Alliance of Sahel States – is an integral part of this confrontation…

The US security policy based on the reckless, and imperialist Wolfowitz Doctrine is collapsing, but Washington cannot admit either the policy or failure for fear of losing already waning credibility. The Wolfowitz Doctrine was an unofficial name given to an earlier version of the US Defense Policy Guidance (DPG) 1994-1999, which leaked…

The rage of the West against the current processes observed within the framework of the multipolar world will extend well beyond the countries and governments which pursue a completely independent policy towards the West and which have clearly sided within the international multipolar order of the global majority. Everything indicates that Western attempts to destabilize and overthrow the authorities of many countries will also affect those that still interact very actively with Western space…

The more than year-long armed conflict between the Rapid Support Forces and the Sudanese Armed Forces has already had dire consequences, including a humanitarian crisis, destruction of infrastructure and paralysis of government institutions. At the same time, its impact on the situation in the region should not be underestimated: without exception, all of Sudan’s neighbors are to some extent linked to the parties to the conflict…

In view of the socio-economic dynamics of the African continent, I carry out in this article a critical analysis of the issues linked to youth employment. My approach is characterized by bold thinking, illustrated by the metaphor of “Emmanuel Macron’s knee placed on the neck of Africans”, symbolizing the challenges and external pressures that African states face and which cause public policies and initiatives to fail. Job creation for young people…

Black American’s Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s coincided with African’s fight for freedom from colonialists, and the response to both groups’ activities was similar in that the US and Europeans promised to allow the demanded rights but continued with exploitation. Martin Luther King Jr.’s (MLK) “I Have a Dream” speech (here) of August1963 occurred in the year when decolonization was occurring in earnest across Africa. Kenyans had secured internal governance in June, and would become a republic in December the same year…
