In Burkina Faso, tens of thousands rallied in support of interim President Ibrahim Traoré on April 30. Right now, Burkina Faso sits again on
By Colby Byrd
U.S. General Michael Langley, the head of AFRICOM, declared Ibrahim Traoré a threat to the people of Burkina Faso. Langley lied, saying Traoré was using the country’s wealth for himself. The lie is meant to justify the schemes meant to create instability in Burkina Faso.
There have been multiple coups and assassination attempts against Ibrahim Traoré. Most recently, the intelligence services uncovered and foiled a coup attempt that was meant to take place on April 16. The coup was organized by current and former members of the Burkinabe military and government alongside the Islamic extremists whom the West backs.
When the West visits Africa, they talk about China. (2022.10.09.)
If the West really thinks China helping Africa to gain influence is a bad thing, the best thing it can do is help Africa even more. In this episode, President of the Socialist Party of Zambia, Fred M'membe, and the convener of the Socialist Movement of Ghana, Kyeretwie Opoku share with us an African perspective on "Africa's China problem".
Prof. Fred M'membe was named as one of its World Press Freedom Heroes by the International Press Institute. He supported the liberation struggles in southern Africa and other parts of the world with a true spirit of internationalism.
Kyeretwie Opoku is a committed socialist and a strong supporter of the African integration (Pan-Africanism).
Lloyd Austin has just been confirmed as Sec-Def. Just like with Kamala, Biden is presenting a cabinet that is fully ‘progressive’ as a shield against criticism from the left. Make no mistake: we are returning to a calm and quiet imperialism. This is the status quo before Trump came around. That no one can see the klaxon alarms is concerning - we’ll get a more competent Trump into office that knows how to play the game correctly.
Democrats are Republicans.
They just have a better PR front & make themselves so nice and personable that it doesn’t raise concern.
The mineral-rich eastern provinces of the DRC have been repeatedly invaded and attacked by proxy forces known to be backed by Rwanda and Uganda, both key allies of US interests in the region.

AFRICOM is the re-colonization of Africa by the U.S., and constitutes the new scramble for Africa tantamount to when, in the 1800s, the colonial powers fought over which of them would dominate which parts of the resource rich continent. One of the forms the new scramble takes is that of militarized
AFRICOM is the re-colonization of Africa by the U.S., and constitutes the new scramble for Africa tantamount to when, in the 1800s, the colonial powers fought over which of them would dominate which parts of the resource rich continent. One of the forms the new scramble takes is that of militarized interventions that are framed as interventions against domestic terrorist entities. Meanwhile, it is the US/EU/NATO axis of domination that wages a war of terror against African people.
The U.S. military recently announced that it is sending 1,000 National Guard members to the Horn of Africa as U.S. intervention in Ethiopia becomes more likely. Earlier this year, the U.S. intensified the militarization of the DRC with the introduction of U.S. special forces and the escalation against the ADF by the U.S. and Uganda. The U.S. and U.K. are driving militarization in Kenya, and France and Rwanda are militarizing Mozambique to fight Al Shabab. These more contemporary events are comparable to when Tanzania intervened in Uganda and depose Idi Amin.
Important political and economic considerations, including the ability for western multinational corporations to access African land, labor, and resources, are obscured when the labels “terrorist” and “terrorism” have been strategically used by imperialist powers to militarize and destabilize the African continent. The labels are also strategically used by these powers to surveil, target, imprison, and isolate African people. It is imperative that we oppose these imperialist interventions and end the new scramble for Africa. U.S. Out of Africa! Shut Down AFRICOM!
