New World TV Debate on the Alliance of Sahel states security summit in Togo by ECOWAS
and European delegation on security in the Sahel West Africa. This powerful debate will open your eyes on a lot of things happening in west and east Africa.

In his April 2026 interview with Sky News Africa correspondent Yousra Elbagir, Burkina Faso's President, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, described his leadership as being rooted in an ideology centered on dignity, self-reliance, and practical development.He pointed to the visible progress across healthcare, agriculture, infrastructure, transportation, education, and industry, saying these are the reasons many young people identify with his government. From lower medication costs and better-equipped hospitals to free or subsidised agricultural support, road construction, factory jobs, buses for urban transport, and improved university and school facilities, Traoré’s administration is one focused on restoring basic dignity and expanding opportunity for ordinary Burkinabè. His comments showed a vision of national renewal built on state-led development, and the knowledge that African countries can use their own resources and labour to transform living conditions for their people.

On April 9, 2026, UK-based Western imperialist propaganda outlet Sky News uploaded a 16-minute documentary on YouTube, a documentary hosted by Sky News African correspondent Yousra Elbagir, and aimed at portraying Burkina Faso as a poor, dangerous, unstable African nation ruled by an evil despot.

On April 10, Sky News re-uploaded this documentary with some revisions, amid a wave of backlash from a slowly awakening African audience.

In this report for the Spearhead, Barra Hart examines the motives behind this “documentary”, weighs its claims against reality, and sheds light on an important connection between Sky News and the Western imperialist machine.

As a member of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), Burkina Faso has faced relentless attacks by Western-backed terrorists, economic isolation and sovereignty violations by Western-aligned African states, and endless slander from Western and Western-aligned media. Despite these externally-imposed challenges, the country and its fellow AES members, Mali and Niger, have continued to record economic and political wins.

All 3 AES members have pointed to former colonizer France as a key sponsor of terror in the region – a claim which has been corroborated by their international allies – and France itself has made no bones about its intentions to revive its dwindling influence in Africa, and in so doing, shore up its own presently crumbling economy.

The motive behind Sky News’s latest imperialist propaganda piece is clear: to manufacture consent for regime change in Burkina Faso and the wider AES, so that Africa may be put back in its assigned place in the West’s global order.

It is up to the people of Africa to continue to resist this tired trick.

The U.S.-Israeli war on Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz have raised fuel costs and caused shortages of key fertilizers around the world, wreaking havoc on the agricultural industry. Adam Hanieh, director of the SOAS Middle East Institute at the University of London, says the effects could be felt for a long time, particularly in the Global South.

“About a third of the world’s basic fertilizers now pass through the Strait of Hormuz,” says Hanieh, who adds that the “coming food crisis” is compounded by the climate and debt crises in much of the developing world. “It’s a perfect storm.”

In this February 2026 interview with The Narrative Network, Zimbabwean author, educator and Pan-Africanist Joshua Maponga sheds light on the reality of “democracy” in Africa, how the colonially imposed charade serves only to hinder development on the continent, and how the parasitic Western nations that imposed this charade on the continent are only too willing to set it aside when it comes to protecting their own interests.

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? Why do the so-called “flaws” of democracy in Africa always seem to benefit Western powers? And what do the ongoing developments in Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso have to teach the rest of the continent about what Western-approved “democracy” really is and what purpose it really serves?

Since forming the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) in 2024 and abandoning the brand of “democracy” tailor-made for Africa by the West, Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso have seen rapid social, economic and political progress, while facing relentless attacks by Western-backed terrorists, economic isolation and sovereignty violations by Western-aligned African states, and endless slander from Western and Western-aligned media.

It is left to the people of Africa to draw the obvious conclusion.

In this report, The Spearhead’s McKay Chukwu examines how public anger in South Africa is often directed at African migrants instead of the deeper economic structures driving inequality in the country.

Using recent controversies involving Nigerians in South Africa, the piece shows how frustration is quickly turned toward foreigners while the legacy of apartheid, land dispossession, and the concentration of wealth remain largely untouched.

Xenophobia is a distraction from the real sources of hardship for many Black South Africans, leaving Africans divided against one another while the systems that benefit from that division stay firmly in place.
