Abibitumi Exclusive Seminar April 2026 Promo

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?

Barra Hart reports for the Spearhead.

The idea that “Africans sold Africans” has been repeated so often that people treat it like complete history, when it is anything but. It strips away context and forces a modern racial reading onto a pre-colonial African world that did not organise itself around European ideas of race. Africa was not one people and it was not one identity. It was made up of kingdoms, empires, nations and ethnic groups with their own political systems, cultures and interests. So when conflict happened, it was not “Black people selling Black people” in the way that phrase is now used. It was political conflict between distinct societies, just as Europe had its own wars between rival states and kingdoms.

What Europe created through the transatlantic slave trade was something different in scale, structure and purpose. This was not simply an extension of local wars. It was a racialised, hereditary and industrial system built for profit, conquest and extraction. European demand drove it, expanded it and turned human beings into global commodities on a scale the world had not seen before. That is why the “Africans sold Africans” argument is not serious history. It is a lazy deflection that avoids naming Europe’s central role in designing, racialising and profiting from the transatlantic slave trade.

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.
