Libya: NATO’S Failed State
A controversial figure in the West but adored throughout the Global South, particularly in Africa. We put aside all the opinions and objectively examine what Libya looked like before, during and after Nato-backed troops toppled Muammar Gaddafi, who would've been 81 today.

MI6 Terror Plot To Remove Gaddafi
The UK’s secret service - MI6 - funded al-Qaeda-linked groups in Libya, in the hope they’d topple Muammar Gaddafi. And it had its eyes firmly on the prize: lucrative oil-contracts in the wake of his removal.
So basically, London partnered with terrorists to exploit Africans. Don’t take our word for it. Here’s former UK intel officer Annie Machon spilling the beans on how her country plays with fire to get its way.

Comedian Conquers Colonialism
A British-Nigerian comedian got the last laugh when jibed about migrants coming to the UK.
Listen to Nabil Abdulrashid’s riposte on a British TV show when quizzed about foreigners.
Humour can be the best form of defence :)

STOP BLAMING COLONIALISM?
There's a new wave of people of African descent being given platforms to say stuff some White people want to say but won’t, for fear of being called racist. And here’s a perfect example.
Senegal-born entrepreneur, Magatte Wade, reckons Africans should stop blaming their economic struggles on their colonial past. And she was happy to make her case to right-wing commentator Jordan Peterson who just nods in agreement. Excuse me? How can our colonial and neo-colonial history be completely ignored? We break down the stupidity of her argument and highlight a new worrying trend.

Getting Plastered Mali Style
The Great Mosque of Djenné - located in the arid hinterland of the sweltering Sahara Desert in southern Mali - is the world's largest mud-brick building, and is known for its distinctive plastering and wooden scaffolding. It is one of Africa’s most revered religious monuments and is part of the ancient, UNESCO-protected town of Djenné.
Every year, the Great Mosque needs to be re-plastered with mud. Locals have turned this mammoth duty into a celebration - the so-called festival of ‘Crépissage’ (French: plastering).
The mosque is constructed almost entirely from sun-dried mud bricks coated with clay, and is the largest surviving example of this unique style of African architecture.
Built in the 13th century, it stands 20m tall and is built on a 91m-long platform.

Is Uganda's Anti-LGBTQ A Foreign Import?
OPINION: Supporters of Uganda’s tough new anti-gay law say that the LGBTQ movement is a corrupting, non-African influence imposed by the West. But could the same actually be said for homophobia? Could it be a colonial import to the continent - with negative African attitudes towards homosexuals shaped and fostered by European teachings? And could modern-day Western influences be radicalising these attitudes? African Stream’s William Sakawa shares his own take on the matter.
