Before the 2023 popular anticolonial uprising that removed Niger’s President Mohamed Bazoum from power, “extreme poverty had reached 42% of the Nigerian population” explains Alex Anfruns Millán, over a year later, Niger is now regarded among the fastest-growing economies in Africa. Millán, a journalist and author of Niger: Another Coup D’État… or the Pan-African Revolution? joins the show to discuss the progress made by Niger and the other countries in the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) in confronting neocolonialism head-on that “allows millions of people across the African continent to expect a better future for their children”
Kyeretwie Opoku, Convener of the Socialist Movement of Ghana, joins the show to discuss France’s slipping grip on Africa’s Sahel region after both Chad and Senegal expel French troops. Following the lead of the Alliance of Sahel States, Opoku explains what this shift away from US-French influence means for the region—and how Ghana’s recent election ties into the growing anti-colonial movement sweeping across West Africa.
