Do you know there’s something called “destabilization campaign,” usually used by foreign intelligence agencies like the CIA, against governments that oppose U.S. political and economic interests?
Let me know if you find any of these methods familiar 😉
1. Propaganda and Disinformation: Funding and managing media networks, planting stories, and running psychological operations (PSYOPs) to sway public opinion against the sitting government.
Say me hi to your media houses.
2. Economic Sabotage: Restricting international loans, orchestrating boycotts, and inducing labor strikes to cripple the target nation's economy and create domestic unrest.
3. Political Interference: Funding, training, and organizing opposition political parties, anti-government student movements, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
4. Paramilitary Operations: Equipping, financing, and advising militant factions, insurgents, or sympathetic military leaders to execute regime change.
Yea, the CIA claims they’re no longer into regime change operations so it might just be coincidence that some of the above listed operations have been seen in certain countries recently.
Disclaimer: I think I’m coming down with malaria so don’t take my word for it.
Corruption by African leaders or Sabotage by the West, which is the primary hindrance to Africa’s development?
Here you have your answer.

Dr Joshua Maponga Criticises African Men’s Obsession With Football
Are you obsessed with football clubs and artificial nails?
Author and philosopher Joshua Maponga has some harsh words of criticism for chronically distracted African men who obsess over trivialities while a few of their counterparts lead productive liberation struggles to beat back continued colonialism on our continent.
Do his words anger or inspire you? Let us know in the comments.

Tanzania Is Our Strait Of Hormuz - Dr Maponga to Tanzanian Journalists
At the screening of 'What Happened on October 29?', Dr. Maponga had a direct message for Tanzanian journalists: Stand with the truth.
African Journalism cannot afford to be lazy or driven by external narratives. If claims are being made about Tanzania, Tanzanian journalists must be the ones asking the hardest questions, verifying the facts, and telling the world what is really happening on the ground.
Dr. Maponga challenged journalists to look beyond party politics and understand Tanzania’s strategic place in regional and global power struggles. Tanzania sits at the center of trade routes, ports, railways, minerals, and competing global interests.
So when violence, instability, and misinformation spread, journalists must ask: who benefits? Who pays the price? And whose future is being destroyed?
All Black People Should be Pan-Africanists - Tayo Bello
As Africans. Pan-Africanism is the difficult but necessary work of freeing the African mind from centuries of shame, distortion, erasure, and dependence on foreign validation.
Colonization did not only take our land, resources, names, and systems of governance. It taught Africans to look at themselves through the eyes of those who conquered them. That is the deepest violence of colonization, because people who are taught to be ashamed of themselves can never fully stand in their own power.
To continue this way is to slowly lose ourselves, because too many Africans have been trained to believe that dignity must come from outside.
Africa’s future must be built by Africans who are no longer begging to be seen, approved, or humanized through foreign eyes. The African mind must be freed. Only then can we begin to speak of true independence, true dignity, and true liberation.
I was in Nairobi a few days ago for my premiere and I spent a few hours with @wmnjoya at the Sarit Centre rooftop area.
You could barely move because of how many people there were. People were out with their families spending money and enjoying a day out. Literally hundreds of people. By the way, Kenya is not by any means a successful economy, but the visible symbols of commercial activity in Nairobi are undeniably busy. Commerce is actually taking place there.
And then there is Nigeria. Every single time I meet someone who just came from there, I hear the same thing - all the shops and malls are empty. People go into malls to buy one item and take pictures, because the mere experience of going to the mall has become out of reach for most regular people. You have no idea how much this pisses me off!
I've been warning for years that Nigeria is being deliberately steered into complete irrelevance. Uber makes more money in Nairobi than Lagos - and Lagos has 4 times Nairobi's population! Africa's largest population centre is increasingly being treated as if it has no more economic importance than Lesotho or Eswantini!
I fucking hate this shit!
Africa Is One Market, But Not for Africans
Africa has been treated as one big market for foreign goods, but Africans have been discouraged from treating Africa as one market for ourselves. The same people who tell us continental trade is too complicated have no problem moving their own products across our borders.
They want access to Africa’s market, but they do not want Africa to trade freely with itself. Because an Africa that trades with itself is an Africa that becomes stronger, more independent, and less dependent on foreign imports.
So when you see foreign products everywhere across the continent, while African products remain trapped inside their own countries, understand what you are looking at. Dependency by design.
Earlier today in Oyster Bay, Dar es Salaam, Joshua Maponga and I addressed a press conference concerning yesterday's Tanzania premiere of 'What Happened On October 29'.
Our message to the African press was simple - learn to be unapologetic about pursuing your African interests like everyone else is about theirs so, and stop eating out of the hands of CNN, BBC, DW, Al-Jazeera and their many friends across the western media landscape.
They are not your friends, their interests do not match with yours, they are not better journalists than you are, and they can never be better at telling your own story than you are!
@iamnasboi You have no idea what you're requesting for.
Nigerians aren't ready for the change they deserve. keep calling for the USA to come save you nor worry watin you day see now go be less. ask Libya and Syria
After all Nigerians aren't better humans than them.
Read... una say No.
@Jeromehills007@Big_Mck@chymaker And that's another problem with many Nigerians they don't read. They just decide which side to take without a proper see-through.
You cannot think freely in someone else’s language.
Every nation that industrialized fast Japan, China, South Korea taught science, law, and governance in its own language.
Africa still graduates engineers who can’t explain their work to their own grandmothers.
