The Spearhead

Africa's story. Africa's terms.

[The Spearhead @Spearhead_Af]

The Spearhead is proud to present its debut feature length documentary, which tears apart the popular media narrative surrounding Tanzania's October 29, 2025 election, and lifts the veil to reveal the true masterminds behind the deadly chaos during and after the election.

We're Rebuilding the Military So Future Generations Don't Face T*rrorism

As Burkina Faso President @CapitaineIb226 lauded the 25th graduating class of student-officers (or cadets) on 26 July at the Georges-Namoano Military Academy (AMGN), he proclaimed that the country is rebuilding its military capacity so that future Burkinabè won’t have to deal with foreign-backed t*rrorism.

The 2011 US-led NATO invasion of Libya flooded the Sahel with arms and militants, turning the more than 3-million-square-kilometre African region into the world’s ‘epicentre of t*rrorism’ by 2022, according to the Institute for Economics and Peace’s Global T*rrorism Index.

Africans Need To Start Thinking Critically – General Abdourahamane Tiani

In this excerpt from an exclusive interview with Radio télévision du Niger (RTN), aired on July 25, 2026, Nigerien President General Abdourahamane Tiani sheds light on the external forces sponsoring t*rrorism in the Sahel, and challenges Africans to never trust the surface narratives about their own continent fed to them by Western media, but always look deeper.

Since severing ties with former colonizer France in 2023, Niger has continued to record political, social and economic winds. It has shared the fruits of this progress with its fellow Alliance of Sahel States (AES) members, Mali and Burkina Faso.

African Proverb Of The Week

Africa has not been in control of its own affairs for a very long time. Today, most of the continent’s policies are dictated, and nearly all its systems controlled, by the West – the very same West which has plundered the continent for 500 years.

This East African proverb reminds us that those who do not and have never belonged in Africa have no business dictating African affairs, and if Africa is ever to rise, it must reclaim its destiny from these greedy pigs.

Somalia Moves To Digitize 75 Years Of Its History

In a move which the rest of Africa would do well to learn from, Somalia is preserving its national history by digitizing the archives of its fabled Pan-Africanist radio station, Radio Mogadishu.

In this report, The Spearhead dives into this inspiring development, which kicked off officially in 2012.

Why Do Africans Try to Be Like Individualistic Europeans?

In this clip with the Rev Dr Philippe Shock Matthews, clinical and industrial psychologist Edwin J Nichols, PhD, breaks down how inherently different African culture is from European culture.

Trying so hard to be something we aren’t could explain why our people struggle to obtain sovereignty decades after winning flag independence.

Drop us a comment on how we can break out of this paradigm.

Shortly after 9/11, the United States launched a covert global campaign against terrorism that operated beyond the boundaries of law. This is an investigation revealing all the secret abductions and prison ran by the CIA and the African governments that collaborated.

Omali Yeshitela: Only African Revolution Can End Imperialism

Omali Yeshitela traces modern global inequality to the 1884 Berlin Conference, where European powers partitioned Africa to exploit its resources for Western development.

He argues that this systemic division necessitates an African revolution to dismantle imperial structures and achieve a unified "One Africa, One Nation".

Ibrahim Traoré Confirms Western Bioweapon Concerns

Western intelligence activities in Africa are a threat to the continent's sovereignty and it's time more African leaders called it out.

Burkina Faso's President, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, has exposed an attempt by Western intelligence agencies to introduce biological weapons into his country, showing a pattern of foreign interference that can no longer be overlooked.

From the illegal 1996 Pfizer drug trial in Kano to concerns over US-funded biological research laboratories in countries such as Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and Uganda, Africa has too often been treated as a testing ground rather than an equal partner.

The larger issue is sovereignty. Why do foreign governments continue to involve themselves in African affairs?

The White Man’s Arrogance Makes Him Stupid – Captain Ibrahim Traoré

On July 16, 2026, Burkina Faso President Captain Ibrahim Traoré paid a visit to the city of Ouahigouya in the Yaadga region of his country, and delivered a powerful address to the Burkinabé people, and the people of Africa as a whole.

An address which is presently sending shockwaves across Africa’s information space.

In this excerpt from the Yaadga address, Traoré comments on why Burkina Faso has been under attack for the last 10 years, and the arrogance of the Western backers behind this terror campaign.

This arrogance, Traoré observes, is rooted in colonialism, and has made the enemies of Africa increasingly more desperate and increasingly more predictable, as the continent continues to break its colonial chains.

Why Do Africans Seek Love From Those Who Don’t Love Us? – Captain Ibrahim Traoré

On July 16, 2026, Burkina Faso President Captain Ibrahim Traoré paid a visit to the city of Ouahigouya in the Yaadga region of his country, and delivered a powerful address to the Burkinabé people, and the people of Africa as a whole.

In this quote from the Yaadga address, Traoré calls out the strange tendency of Africans to constantly seek love and validation from the societies that have been trying to wipe them out for over 400 years.

The definition of a toxic relationship.

The US Continues To Strong-Arm African Nations Into Accepting Its Deportees

The US, under President Donald Trump, continues to strong-arm Africa into participating in its racist human trafficking enterprise. With millions of dollars in one hand, and sanctions in the other, the US has turned the DRC, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Eswatini, Rwanda and others into de facto dumping grounds for its unwanted immigrants.

The question is, how long will Africans allow their weak-willed “leaders” to impose this neocolonial insult upon them?

Joshua Maponga: Stop Parroting Other People's Ideologies!

Why are so many educated Africans unable to think outside the western-imposed paradigm of "democracy" concerning what style of governance would work best for their countries?

In this clip, Zimbabwean author and philosopher Joshua Maponga has a go at this class of Africans for their habit of repeating western ideas and narratives with no attempt to come up with an original thought of their own.

David Hundeyin: Global Powers Did Not Become Wealthy Through "Democracy"

Are intellectual dishonesty and ideological duplicity the only things that Africa should expect from any Western incursions into its information spaces?

Speaking during a public panel session on News Central Television on Thursday 23 July, 2026, Nigerian investigative journalist and founder of The Spearhead, David Hundeyin made the point that not only do western powers fund the intellectual misdirection of Africa's "educated" classes via their funded civil society extensions, but they also do not even acknowledge that the source of their modern wealth - colonialism and neocolonialism - had nothing to do with internal "democracy", and everything to do with the extractive dictatorship they have imposed across Africa and the Global South.

U.S. Defies Kenyan Court Over Ebola Quarantine

Despite a court order stopping the construction of a US government Ebola Virus Disease quarantine centre at a US airbase in Kenya, the facility has been built anyway and several American citizens who were recently in the DRC are currently undergoing quarantine in the illegal facility.

The Kenyan court gave an order expressly forbidding a foreign government from exposing nearly 60 million Kenyans to a deadly foreign virus, and the foreign government simply ignored the court order and went ahead to do exactly that with no pushback whatsoever from William Ruto's administration.

When international alliances override local judicial orders and public opposition, we must ask: who are our leaders really serving? True sovereignty is only meaningful when a government is confident enough to say "no" to protect its people.
