It is important to speak out against cases where activists, acting within legal frameworks, are being harassed for seeking justice. In this case, we find numerous examples where the patriarchal monarchy of Swaziland is violently and illegally campaigning against youth and women who are simply seeking democracy in their country. The information below is provided by a young woman activist with the Swaziland People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) who has been forced into exile.
Zimbabwe's engagement with China is rooted in history, sovereignty, and a shared vision for development—not in Western talking points. A thought-provoking read on how ZANU-PF views its relationship with China and the lessons it draws from the Chinese model. How Zimbabwe’s ruling party views the CPC https://t.co/0m1aLX3zX3
The U.S.’ genocidal blockade of Cuba is denying 11 million people food, medicine and oil. There are extended blackouts, people dying from medical shortages, and the public transportation system is being pushed to the brink.
The class struggle spoken of here is the same today. The political stooges now have their betrayal in full color. And the ideological struggle is even more intense now than it was then. Which is a good thing for the Pan-African Revolutionary struggle in the long run
Félix Houphouët-Boigny: The Man Who Betrayed Africa
On March 6, 1957, Ghana’s first President and Pan-Africanist icon, Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah, stood at the helm of a newly-independent Ghana, and shared his vision of a truly sovereign, truly united and truly powerful Africa.
That vision was cut short on February 24, 1966, when Nkrumah was overthrown in a CIA-backed coup.
9 years before this coup, and a month after his nation’s independence, Nkrumah went to Abidjan, the capital of Côte d’Ivoire, for a high-level meeting with the country’s first President and full-throated stooge of the West, Félix Houphouët-Boigny.
Africa would perhaps look very different today, if Nkrumah had really understood the intentions of the person he was meeting.
This is the story of how one man betrayed an entire continent.
Just as tribalism was an impediment to effective national unity, micro nationalism is an impediment to Pan-African unity. The class forces which operate against the people in one state, are the same which operates across all of them. And in fact are coordinated against the people. While fighting on a national front, there must be an intentional Pan-African conception of those struggles and coordinated accordingly
Iran also forced Lebanon into the framework of the agreement. Tehran did not accept peace for itself while abandoning its allies. Lebanese sovereignty and the regional front became part of the settlement. That is political loyalty under pressure.
Orania is a reminder that the unfinished legacy of apartheid still casts a long shadow over South Africa. True nation-building cannot be based on separation, exclusion, or racial enclaves, but on justice, equality, and shared prosperity for all. Africa's future lies in unity, not division. ✊🏿🇿🇦

The revolutionary momentum across the African continent continues to deepen as the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) advances bold programs centered on sovereignty, social welfare, regional integration, and economic independence. Far from collapsing under the pressure of sanctions, diplomatic isolation campaigns, media hostility, or violent terrorist attacks the AES Confederation and its allies continue to consolidate an alternative political vision rooted in dignity, self-determination, and Pan-African cooperation.
In Niger, the government has intensified its efforts to address housing inequality and improve living conditions for ordinary citizens through new rent control measures and ambitious public housing construction projects. Authorities recently reaffirmed their commitment to regulating abusive rent prices while accelerating the construction of the “Cité de la Refondation,” a major state-led housing initiative expected to deliver over 1,000 affordable housing units to Nigerien families. These policies reflect a growing political orientation within the AES: the state must actively intervene to protect citizens from speculative economic practices and guarantee access to basic social needs such as housing.
At the same time, Niger continues to strengthen its economic sovereignty through strategic control of its natural resources. In a major development, Niger secured a series of new oil agreements with China following almost a year of negotiations between the 2 nations. Foremost among these deals is the relaunch of 2 oil production projects backed by a $1 billion investment. This breakthrough is part of a broader AES push to reclaim national authority over extractive industries long dominated by foreign interests. Unlike the unequal arrangements historically imposed by Western corporations, the new orientation pursued by AES member states seeks to ensure that Africa’s immense natural wealth directly benefits African populations through industrial development, job creation and national revenue generation.
This broader strategic shift is also reflected in Mali’s recently unveiled “Vision Mali 2063” development strategy, a long-term national plan which openly embraces geopolitical realignment away from Western dependency. The document reportedly prioritizes sovereign development, regional integration, strategic autonomy, and strengthened South-South cooperation. Rather than conforming to neoliberal economic prescriptions imposed by international financial institutions, Mali’s leadership is articulating a model centered on national planning, state capacity, and African-controlled development trajectories.
The growing influence of the AES is now extending beyond the Sahel itself. In the Horn of Africa, Somalia has announced plans to adopt aspects of the “Burkinabè Model” as part of a national security restructuring effort. Burkina Faso’s recent security doctrine—which combines aggressive territorial defense, popular mobilization, and national sovereignty—has increasingly attracted attention from African states searching for alternatives to decades of failed externally managed security frameworks. The fact that Somalia is studying this model demonstrates the widening continental resonance of the Sahelian revolutionary experience.
Within Burkina Faso itself, the revolutionary government continues to emphasize social cohesion and national reconstruction. In Baporo, authorities launched a prisoner rehabilitation initiative rooted in restorative justice principles, presenting what officials described as a more “human face” to detention. The initiative reflects a broader effort to redefine governance not merely through coercive state power, but through social reintegration, collective responsibility, and national healing amid ongoing security challenges.
Meanwhile, regional alliances continue to evolve despite mounting pressure from ECOWAS and Western-aligned actors. The AES Confederation and Togo have significantly strengthened cooperation in the domains of trade, security, and diplomacy. This growing partnership highlights the increasing attraction of the AES project across West Africa, even among states that formally remain within ECOWAS structures. As economic corridors, security cooperation, and political coordination deepen between AES countries and neighboring states, the vision of a more sovereign and integrated West Africa continues to gain momentum.
Together, these developments reveal a broader continental transformation underway. From housing and infrastructure to security doctrine and geopolitical realignment, African states within and around the AES Confederation are increasingly asserting the principle that Africa’s future must be shaped by African priorities rather than external dictates.

We must begin to seriously address the question of building mass revolutionary parties as the foundation of actual transformative change on our continent. As long as there is not a political apparatus to systematically control and enforce the people's mandates, betrayal, assassination or even kidnapping will always be options for imperialism. Only the conscious and permanently organized masses can take away all of the enemies options
Senegal: How an Entire Movement Was Betrayed
What is unfolding in Senegal is bigger than a political fallout between President Diomaye Faye and Ousmane Sonko. It is the betrayal of a movement.
Faye came to power on the back of a public desire for real change, anti-imperial politics, Pan-African conviction, and a rejection of France’s continued influence in Senegal. That hope was embodied in PASTEF and in Sonko’s politics.
But the rift between Faye and Sonko has shown how quickly a people’s mandate can be weakened when leadership begins to compromise with the same systems it was elected to confront. Africa cannot achieve real progress without political and economic independence.
Senegal has become a warning. A righteous movement can be reversed when it is placed in the hands of leaders who are not fully committed to the cause.
