News & Politics
Western powers have long preached democracy to Africa as a moral standard, yet they are often silent when African political systems are manipulated to protect elite interests and engineer succession. Cameroon’s move to restore the office of vice president under President Paul Biya exposes that hypocrisy.
Framed as a measure for continuity, the amendment is clearly a tool to hand the president the power to effectively choose his successor, raising serious questions about whether the democracy Western governments promote is really about the will of the people or simply about preserving order that serves their own geopolitical and economic interests.
Sub-Saharan Africa remains the global epicenter of terrorism, accounting for more than half of all terrorism-related deaths for the third straight year in 2025, according to the Global Terrorism Index. However, some countries, including Burkina Faso, have recently recorded a decline in attacks and fatalities, signaling a potential shift in the security landscape despite years of escalating violence.

Is the Western media telling the truth about Burkina Faso's revolution, or is it propaganda? In this video, we analyze the recent suspension of major outlets like the BBC, Voice of America, and The Guardian by the Traoré government. We'll look at the accusations of "biased coverage" regarding the security situation and Human Rights Watch reports that sparked the media clampdown.
We also break down Captain Ibrahim Traoré's sharp criticism of Western media narratives and what he calls "imperialist reporting" on the AES (Alliance of Sahel States).
Do you think the media suspensions are justified for national security, or is this an assault on press freedom? Let me know in the comments below.

France vs. The AES
Between the United States’s National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and the European Union’s Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument (NDICI)-Global Europe, the West spends hundreds of millions of dollars annually in Africa to “support democracy”.
But what is the West really supporting, and why? What “democratic” African governments presently enjoy this “support”? What gives the West the moral authority to lecture Africa about good governance at all? And why do so many Africans subscribe to the idea that the Western conception of democracy is the best form of governance?
What danger does this unexamined belief pose to the African continent?

In episode 68 of Global Majority for Peace, Nigerian investigative journalist David Hundeyin, founder of West Africa Weekly and The Spearhead @spearhead_af joins Ileana Chan to discuss his journey from award-winning journalism to political exile and the brutal reality of U.S. imperialism in Africa.
David traces his political awakening to his father's preventable death, which launched him into a confrontation with the Nigerian establishment and a career of full-contact investigative journalism. He details his explosive exposé of Nigeria's current president as a convicted U.S. drug dealer and CIA asset, the subsequent lawsuit against the CIA, FBI, and DEA, and how he was placed on a no-fly list after the 2020 Lekki massacre before fleeing into exile.
Together, Ileana and David explore what it truly means to be a politically conscious journalist in an age of empire, the revolutionary potential of the Alliance of Sahel States, and whether the multipolar world offers the Global South a genuine path out of dependency.
