HOW WEST DESPISES AFRICAN
SOVEREIGNTY

In 2011, as NATO-led forces went in to topple pan-African Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, a group of African leaders made a last-ditch attempt at diplomacy. They proposed flying into Libya to negotiate an orderly change of leadership. Their goal: to prevent all-out war. But they were bluntly told by Western powers that their safety could not be guaranteed if they flew into Libyan airspace. These were African presidents in transit, refused passage through an African state, on their way to attempt to stop a war that would destabilise the continent for more than a decade.

Their efforts, however, were sidestepped. Foreign bombardments continued. Gaddafi was assassinated. Libya fell into chaos. Since then, there has not been a functioning central government for the nation. It has disintegrated into rival administrations, and human trafficking, arms dealing and militia rule have taken hold.

African Stream

Continued…….
This incident is a case study in the marginalisation of African diplomacy and the dominance by external powers in African affairs. It poses uncomfortable questions: Who decides the future of African states? Why are solutions born of African minds so easily rejected? And what does it say about international systems of multilateralism?

The call today is not merely for representation but for influence. Africa must progress beyond asking for a place at the table and take one on the merit of its own political, strategic and economic power. Political, security and social frameworks must be claimed by the continent first. Africans must refuse to be shoved into alliances or roles for the benefit of others. The future is about Africa determining its path and being heard when it does.

Z*ONISM VS. JUDAISM: KWAME TURE'S MASTERCLASS

It is not uncommon for our audience to wonder why African Stream has advocated for Palestinians. As we honour the life of our great Pan-African ancestor, Kwame Ture, who was born on this day, 29 June 1941, we share this powerful 1995 clip where he speaks about how the Zionist ideology uses religion to further its imperial aims.

Ture (1941-98), relayed that atheist Europeans conceived of the imperialist ideology of Z*onism. The last 20 months of Israel's onslaught on Palestinians have shown the world how violent Israel’s founding ideology is.

Just like Ture predicted in this clip, the world, particularly people in the US, are understanding that the their government has been supporting and funding a colonial project with their tax dollars for over seven decades.

African Stream

Continued…….
To him, any African who aided and abetted Zionism worked against the interests of Africa. Our forefathers understood that the oppression of all peoples across the world is interconnected and ultimately rooted in the same capitalist expansion.

During Ture's time as the Honorary Prime Minister of the Black Panther Party, the FBI secretly identified him as the man who would succeed Malcolm X (1925-65) and began a targeted counter-intelligence campaign. Ture moved to Africa, where he lived in Ghana and then Guinea between 1968 and 1969. It was there that he changed his name from Stokely Standiford Churchill Carmichael to Kwame Ture in honour of Ghana’s first leader, Kwame Nkrumah (1909-72), and Guinea’s first president, Ahmed Sékou Touré (1922-84). He later founded the US chapter of the All-African People's Revolutionary Party.

Happy birthday to one of the most influential figures of the 20th century!

Stokely Carmichael (Kwame Ture) (1941-1998)

A civil rights leader, antiwar activist, and Pan-African revolutionary, Stokely Carmichael is best known for popularizing the slogan “Black Power,” which in the mid-1960s galvanized a movement toward more militant and separatist assertions of black identity…

AFRICA NEEDS OWNERSHIP OF ITS ECONOMY

Zimbabwe-born public speaker Joshua Maponga explains where true power lies: The economy. Without control of it, it would be misguided to claim sovereignty. An apt example of this would be South Africa, which, despite formally declaring independence in 1994 from white-minority rule, its economy is still in the hands of a small white elite.

He also poses the question of what happens the day after a revolution in the face of increasing African awareness of the global systems of subjugation. That requires a plan, organisation, and ideological clarity, not just running on vibes. Building a state, after all, is a monumental task.

Do you agree with him? Let us know in the comments.

African Stream

The Jamaican Maroons not only escaped slavery but also humiliated the British empire while at it. These warriors built sovereign towns, waged guerrilla war from the mountains and forced Britain to sign a treaty recognising Black autonomy in the early 1700s. They governed themselves, preserved African traditions and became a living blueprint for freedom. Our Facts of the Week break down why their legacy still threatens imperial narratives today.
