Continued- AFRICAN INSECURITY BILLION $ BUSINESS
Who needs to spend all that extra money on a white dress you’ll only wear once anyway? Taking the broader view, just think: the billions made from commodifying African insecurities could go to many other projects in support of development of the continent.
Imposed ideologies, rooted in historical biases and stereotypes, have eroded local cultures, stifling self-confidence and innovation. Genuine decolonisation requires a paradigm shift, liberating African minds from Eurocentric worldviews and embracing indigenous perspectives. This transformation empowers Africans to rewrite their own history, celebrate their rich heritage, and address contemporary challenges with homegrown solutions.

AFRICAN DIASPORA NEEDS TO UNITE
The African Union defines the African Diaspora as "Consisting of people of African origin living outside the continent, irrespective of their citizenship and nationality, and who are willing to contribute to the development of the continent and the building of the African Union." Remittances are funds transferred by immigrants to people in their home country and this money flow provides a lifeline for many households and the overall economy in Africa. Dr Arikana Chihombori-Quao, the former Permanent Representative of the African Union to the United States, spoke out on the matter. She advised the African diaspora to unite and channel this flow of money in an organized way to help Africa change its circumstances.

AFRICAN-AMERICAN OR AFRICAN IN AMERICA?
Not everyone likes the term ‘African-American’ - for example, pastor and theology professor Voddie Bauchman slams it, saying he doesn’t want his identity to be ‘hyphenated.’ Many of our most revered African freedom fighters also reject the term - albeit for somewhat different reason. Have a watch and hear them out, then let us know what makes more sense to you: African-American or American in Africa?

GALLOWAY ON FRANCE IN AFRICA
Former British MP and broadcaster George Galloway did not hold back when asked about coups in Africa. During the 'Mother of All Talk Shows' television program, he elaborated on France's exploitative colonial role, how its influence is rapidly withering away, and that whoever is in charge—whether military or civilian—their priority should be to make African people prosperous and push toward Pan-Africanism with the whole continent.

AFRICA’S TREE SAVIOUR
40 million trees planted is just one of the many achievements of Wangari Maathai, Kenya’s greatest environmentalist. Today is her 12th death anniversary. Maathai's is a story of courage in the face of adversity. In a time when women's voices were often silenced, she fearlessly advocated for both environmental protection and gender equality. She recognized the inextricable link between these two causes, understanding that the exploitation of the environment disproportionately impacted the most vulnerable in society.
