Lumumba’s Africa

Ukraine conflict & its effect on Africa

The Ukraine conflict seems to be far away from the African continent, but it still has detrimental effects on the wellbeing of the nations there. The sanctions imposed on Russia harm African states; the involvement of Ukrainian paramilitaries on the African continent in an effort to harm Russia eventually affects the African people. So has the Mother continent ended up between the hammer and anvil? Professor PLO Lumumba explains.

Western sanctions & ideological pressure on Africa

Let’s explore the modern nature and the profound impact of the sanctions currently imposed on Africa. Why do Western nations apply these sanctions in a selective manner? What are their underlying objectives? Additionally, what actions can be taken to address the biased sanctions that do not serve the interests of the African continent? Professor PLO Lumumba will provide insights into these pressing questions in this episode of ‘Lumumba’s Africa’.

Doomed by past colonial borders

In this episode of Lumumba’s Africa, Professor PLO Lumumba addresses the issue of a fragmented Africa, a legacy of colonialism that continues to fuel conflicts in contemporary times. He argues that the detrimental effects of the Berlin Conference on the African continent were profound and damaging and proposes a revision of the borders established during the colonial era.

Africa & USSR

The relationship between African nations and the former USSR was deeply intertwined. The USSR was viewed as a stronghold of revolution and transformation, serving as a counterbalance to the dominant Western powers that had exploited African countries. Even today, many African states continue to align themselves with Russia, the USSR’s successor, for various reasons. In this episode of Lumumba’s Africa, Professor PLO Lumumba will delve further into the evolving dynamics of the relationship between Africa and the USSR.

Trade that ruins, aid that kills

They say trade brings prosperity. They claim aid helps one to get back on track.

But if that is true, how come all that trade and all that aid have failed to produce any growth and success for the people of the Mother Continent?

Why does all that “trade” just make the former colonizers richer? Why does all that aid keep an African man pinned to the ground?

Tune in as Professor PLO Lumumba takes on the Western lies about trade and aid.

E-waste & deadly landfills

For a long time, Africa has been – and remains – a dumping ground for electronic waste from all over the world. Thousands are forced to seek a living on polluted, poisoned grounds, where the entire periodic table of elements has soaked the soil, water and air. Death, disease and disfigurement of Africans – such is the price that the former colonizers are more than willing to pay in exchange for a way to cheaply rid themselves of electric garbage. Venerable Professor PLO Lumumba shines a spotlight on the issue and seeks solutions to the injustice of electronic waste.
