Tell us you don't know what Pan-Africanism is without telling us you don't know what Pan-Africanism is. And tell us you don't understand what anti-imperialism is without telling us you don't know what anti-imperialism is.

That’s basically what the Stanford Internet Observatory (@FSIStanford on X) did in a poorly put-together smear piece against African Stream.

In what they call an 'analysis,' Stanford scholars Shelby Grossman (@shelbygrossman on X) and David Thiel (@elegant_wallaby on X) quoted US Secretary of State Antony Blinken calling us 'Kremlin propagandists' and then spent the rest of the piece writing about us as if his statement was a matter of fact rather than an allegation provided without any evidence. They say about our staff, 'It is unclear if these individuals knew of African Stream's Russian links,' without establishing what these links are beyond Blinken's allegation.

Continued.......We were going to ignore them. But since the article has become the basis of a Wikipedia page, we felt obliged to respond. Let us know your thoughts.
