Uranium Over Democracy: Why France’s Expulsion from Niger Is the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Africa
New Eastern Outlook
Paris loves to play the knight in shining armour – the defender of democracy, the fighter against terrorism, the guardian of humanitarianism.
But in the Sahel, that armour has long since tarnished. After ten years of the so-called “counterterrorism” Operation Barkhane, France not only failed to defeat the jihadists but actually drove its former… Continue reading -

Mali was an attempted coup d’état : Russian Ministry of Defense “African Corps” statement

Fẹ̀mi Akọ̀mọ̀làfẹ̀ : Wilful African ignorance, or carefully cultivated stupidity?
Our big poser for today:
At what precise moment did the African mind become so historically vacant, so thoroughly colonized, that it now confuses barbaric geopolitical violence against defenseless people and sovereign states with Christian duty?

Sony Thăng on South Africa
Having spent considerable time in South Africa, this is one of the very best overviews that I have ever seen. There are issues that are debatable, but overall, this is the part of the development (rather non-development) since the 1994 freedom election that is the most difficult to explain to others. This also is complex… Continue reading

No Tears For Europe’s Death Knell
By Fẹ̀mi Akọ̀mọ̀làfẹ̀
Mine was among the voices that warned Europe to develop strategic autonomy. In discussions with friends and in many articles, I urged Europeans to think independently, act soberly, and recognize that empires have no friends, only interests, as a British Lord told us.
Of course, haughty Europeans, who believe that they know it all,… Continue reading -

Fẹ̀mi Akọ̀mọ̀làfẹ̀: A Manifesto for Intellectual Sovereignty
The Heroes that moulded me
Today, instead of writing about Pan-Africanism or Geopolitics, we will change tack and engage ourselves in philosophical ruminations. Do not worry; it is tied together to the gospel that we preach on this blog.
“I don’t know is an answer.” – Robert Ingersoll.
In a world drowning in the cacophony of manufactured certainty,… Continue reading

Man of the year: Captain Ibrahim Traoré

Quietly and professionally China may have ⬇️ The Unit
China did not like the Unit. They said so in banking circles and in circles committed to trading in local currencies. Being China, they did exactly what they thought was productive, and it is. China also took FinTech to 21 nations in Africa south of the Sahara. They may have set up another bank for… Continue reading

Fẹ̀mi Akọ̀mọ̀làfẹ̀: My reply to Nigeria’s Foreign Minister article
From Fẹ̀mi Akọ̀mọ̀làfẹ̀’s substack.
It is clear that Femi is not cool, calm and collected in this writing about Nigeria. But there may be more to the story that we do not necessarily know about. In common parlance, we call President Tinubu .. Agent Tinubu.
[The ugliest picture of the Year – Nigeria’s president romancing Macron who… Continue reading
