WHO KILLED TOGO’S OLYMPIO?
Togo President Sylvanus Olympio was the first leader assassinated in post-colonial Africa.
We look back at the circumstances surrounding his killing sixty-two years ago.
But one question remains. Who ordered his murder?

CELEBRATIONS AS SUDAN’S ARMY RETAKES KEY CITY
People in Sudan are celebrating after the country’s armed forces recaptured the strategically important city of Wad Madani, the capital of Al Jazira State.
It’s created hopes that the UAE-backed Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary is on the back foot, and that the proxy war, which has been raging since 15 April 2023, can be brought to an end.
Locals welcomed the return of the army, pouring into the streets with cheers and applause, chanting revolutionary slogans and singing songs.
Wad Madani is important because it serves as a gateway to the rest of Sudan, with key road and rail links converging in the city. It’s also a major agricultural and trade hub. The RSF had held it since December 2023
The historic city is fondly remembered as the place where Sudanese revolutionary Ali Abdelatif refused to salute a British officer in 1922, resulting in his imprisonment and culminating in the White Flag Revolt against the British in 1924.

‘WHY INTEGRATE WITH THE WORLD’S GREATEST CRIMINALS?’
People often speak of racial integration as a solution in both the United States and Europe. Yet, it has failed due to its inability to transform the system, and, therefore, only meets with the majority’s resistance. Even after granting ‘civil rights,’ government policies and structures continued to disenfranchise Africans in the US and Europe.
For example, in the US, the widely publicised Brown versus Board of Education case (1954) ended segregation in public schools by declaring it unconstitutional.

Continued……. However, Black students still face inequalities, with research showing that our children are worse off now. According to a UCLA Civil Rights Project 2019 report, despite an increasingly diverse US population 65 years after the Supreme Court ruling, segregation is ‘expanding.’
Similarly, European countries have instituted policies that more closely resemble forced assimilation, no education on historically racist structures, and laws like the UK’s stop-and-search that disproportionately affect Black people.
Given how these attempts at integration have played out, it would seem accurate to say that integration with those who have systematically worked to marginalise the oppressed is a mere ‘fantasy’, as psychologist Dr Amos Wilson (1941-1995) said in this clip. He offered we should focus on nation-building, with the question being: What kind of systems should we build, so our people can thrive?

WHEN CHE GUEVARA VISITED GHANA
On this day (14 January) in 1965, Ghana welcomed the Argentine-born revolutionary Che Guevara (1928-67) during his three-month journey across Africa.
Guevara’s mission was to forge connections between the liberation movements of Africa and those in Latin America. In Ghana, he met Pan-Africanist leader Kwame Nkrumah (1909-72), who, at the time, held the dual roles of president and prime minister. Together, they toured development initiatives, including the Volta Dam, which can power 207,600 homes, and the 19-kilometre Accra-Tema highway.
This visit helped establish Cuba’s commitment to internationalism. The Caribbean island has provided vital personnel, resources and logistical aid to support Africa’s fight against imperialism. Guevara’s impact inspired countless Cuban medical professionals who have dedicated themselves to enhancing health programmes across the continent.

Continued….. The bond between Guevara and Nkrumah’s revolutionary ideals did not escape the world’s attention.
Many believe the CIA played a role in the 1966 coup that ousted Nkrumah, followed by the assassination of Guevara.
Now, 60 years later, as Ghana grapples with a debt crisis fuelled by reliance on International Monetary Fund bailouts, a fragile currency, and governance challenges, perhaps the newly inaugurated president, John Mahama, can channel Guevara’s enduring spirit to breathe new life into the country.

$25M BOUNTY FOR VENEZUELA PRESIDENT!
At his inauguration on 10 January, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro declared that the Venezuelan people had ‘defeated imperialism and its sly diplomacy.’ On the same day, the United States increased a $15 million bounty for information leading to his arrest to $25 million. It imposed sanctions on eight Venezuelan officials, ordering financial institutions to freeze their US-based assets.

It imposed sanctions on eight Venezuelan officials, ordering financial institutions to freeze their US-based assets.
🤬17👍1👏1
Continued…….. This follows the US charging Maduro and 14 current and former Venezuelan officials with narco-terrorism in 2020. However, Maduro has maintained the move was simply a tactic to force regime change in Venezuela.
Once among the wealthiest countries in Latin America, Venezuela’s GDP ranking has dropped to number 10 due to global oil prices tanking in the early 2010s and Western economic sanctions imposed in 2017. The Center for Economic and Policy Research estimated that sanctions killed 40,000 Venezuelans between 2017 and 2018. In 2021, UN special rapporteur Alena Douhan warned that 2.5 million Venezuelans suffered food insecurity. Douhan also reported that government revenue had declined 99 per cent compared to pre-sanction levels, leading to a near-complete breakdown of public services. Furthermore, about 7.1 million Venezuelans migrated out between 2015 and 2023 because of the dire financial situation.
Whether it’s through sanctions, coups, or financial rewards for information, the United States has repeatedly sought to destabilise countries that challenge its hegemony. By placing the bounty on Maduro’s head, the US wants to isolate him globally and increase political unrest, which will continue to impact the poor people of Venezuela.

WHAT AFRICA NEEDS IS LESS IMPERIALISM
Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin (1870-1924) called ‘The Economist’ a ‘journal that speaks for the British millionaires.’ It proves his point with this headline, which pins Africa’s woes on ‘paternalism, complacency and corruption,’ prescribing the disease, capitalism, as the cure.
That’s why we edited the magazine’s X caption and the headline on its latest issue.
The legacy of slavery and colonialism continues to decimate African societies. At the same time, colonial powers have never paid reparations and installed neo-colonial systems, which burden us with corrupt leaders and facilitate economies serving the interest of imperialists, not Africans. Colonial-era boundaries also alienated Africans, barring people-to-people exchanges and trade.

Continued……. Financial institutions, such as the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, line their pockets as they impoverish Africans. Central and southern Africa hold 65 per cent of the continent’s arable land, but 70 per cent of the world’s hungriest people are in just three countries: Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somalia, as of the end of 2022 according to Concern Worldwide US. That figure doesn’t count as more than half of Sudan’s 49 million people face acute hunger due to the proxy war that kicked off in 2023.
Corrupt Western-aligned African leaders stash stolen public loot in London and overseas territories like the Cayman Islands, funds that could have been used to develop industry, healthcare and agriculture back home.
Meanwhile, the West has blocked the attempts of principled African leaders with a development agenda through assassinations, coups and sanctions.

Mali has seized 3 tonnes of gold from the Loulo-Gounkoto mines, owned by Canadian company Barrick Gold, amidst a legal dispute over revenue owed to the state. A recent court ruling stated that Barrick needs to pay Mali $5.5 billion - far exceeding earlier estimates.
In December 2024, Mali issued an arrest warrant for Barrick CEO Mark Bristow on charges of money laundering and financial violations.

Chad was part of the French colonial empire for 60 years, so you would have thought that propaganda outlet Radio France Internationale (RFI) might at least get the name of the African country’s capital right. But apparently not.
In a recent article (since corrected), they called it not N'Djamena but Niamey. That may have just been sloppy editing of a junior contributor’s work. But it could also be symptomatic of the disdain many Western journalists have for Africa.
For them, expertise and accuracy about Africa are secondary. Their reporting isn’t aimed at truth. It’s about fixing narratives that justify the continued exploitation and oppression of our people.
(NB - we have translated the original French into English.)

Pan-Africanist Kwame Ture’s remarks featured in this edition of Wednesday Wisdom remind us that women’s empowerment is not an alien concept to African people. Long before Europeans touched the shores of Africa to bring us what they called 'civilisation,' our people revered African women rulers whom their enemies feared.
For instance, historians widely consider Queen Hatshepsut, who ruled Egypt during the 18th dynasty close to 1500 BC, to be one of the greatest pharaohs, man or woman. Egyptologist James Henry Breasted said she is the ‘first great woman in history of whom we are informed.' Under her leadership, Egypt’s wealth grew exponentially. Hatshepsut 'sponsored one of Egypt’s most successful trading expeditions, bringing back gold, ebony and incense,’ as noted by National Geographic.
What other African women leaders can you think of? Let us know in the comments.

NASSER: U.S. SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL IS THE PROBLEM
Over a century ago, on 15 January 1918, Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser was born.
Nasser was an ambitious Pan-African and Pan-Arab who sought to return all of Palestine to the Palestinians. However, that dream was dealt a heavy blow when Israel’s pre-emptive 1967 attack seized Egyptian-controlled Gaza and the Sinai Peninsula. During that war, Tel Aviv also took control of the West Bank from Jordan and the Golan Heights from Syria.
In this 1967 interview, he dished out advice that would serve US foreign policymakers well today if they were not hamstrung by the pro-Israel lobby.
