Kumasi, Ghana, is the capital of the Asante region. This is the seat for one of the most powerful kingdoms of West Africa, surviving British colonisation for centuries. The Kumasi central market is one of the largest in Africa and is run and lead by women. In this documentary, we meet the female traders of this important economy.

The documentary series “Disappearing World” was originally broadcasted between 1970-1975.
As an anthropological landmark of its time, the series tells the story of traditional communities endangered by the modern world’s progressions.
The series stands as a historical document of daily life in remote and threatened societies, such as the Cuiva, Embera and Panare Indians of Colombia, the nomadic Tuareg of the Sahara, the Kurdish Dervishes and the Meo of China.

#africanews #ibrahimtraoré #burkinafaso this is not just another tech update. It is a revolution.
The African Union has officially launched the Continental Internet Exchange—a complete digital infrastructure that bypasses Western control. For the first time, 1.4 billion Africans are connected through their own fiber cables, data centers, and a brand-new protocol that Google cannot dominate.

What does this mean?

📌 Faster, cheaper, more reliable internet for African citizens.
📌 $50 billion kept inside Africa instead of flowing to Silicon Valley.
📌 A direct challenge to Google, Microsoft, and Amazon’s monopoly.
📌 The rise of true digital sovereignty in the 21st century.

President Ibrahim Traoré of Burkina Faso has long spoken about independence in gold, agriculture, and energy. Now, Africa is reclaiming its digital future as well. Could this be the beginning of the post-Google era?

👉 Do you believe that Africa’s model will spread to South America, Asia, and beyond?
👉 Can the United States and Silicon Valley adapt, or will they resist?

If you feel that you are among the first to witness this turning point in history, please share this video.

Africa is rich—rich in copper, oil, gold, diamonds, and people. But its wealth flows out while its people remain in poverty.

Stealing Africa
Release date: November 28, 2012 (Finland)
Director: Christoffer Guldbrandsen
Writer: Niels Borchert Holm
Stars: Christoffer Guldbrandsen, Bernhard Elsener, Ivan Glasenberg
Country of origin: Denmark
Language: English
Also known as: Plundringen av Afrika
Filming locations: Rüschlikon, Horgen, Kanton Zürich, Switzerland
Production companies: Guldbrandsen Film, The Why Foundation

Stealing Africa explores the mechanisms that keep the continent poor long after the end of formal colonial rule—revealing how modern multinational corporations, global tax havens, and unjust trade systems continue to extract resources and wealth on a massive scale.

At the center of the story is Zambia, home to the third largest copper reserves in the world, yet a country where 60% of the population survives on less than $1 a day and 80% are unemployed. Meanwhile, in the idyllic Swiss village of Rüschlikon, local government coffers overflow thanks to one resident: Ivan Glasenberg, CEO of Glencore, a commodities giant whose Zambian copper mines generate billions—but almost no tax revenue for Zambia.

Through extensive research and access to public financial records, the documentary uncovers how multinational corporations legally avoid paying taxes through transfer pricing, offshore shell companies, and favorable tax treaties. The result? For every dollar in aid Africa receives, ten dollars quietly vanish—spirited away through financial flows that benefit corporations and wealthy nations.

Stealing Africa is not just a film about economics—it’s about power, inequality, and accountability. It lays bare the modern architecture of plunder and asks the crucial question: What does it mean to be "post-colonial" when the money still flows in the same direction?

Produced by Steps International, this documentary is part of the “Why Poverty?” series and remains a vital watch for anyone interested in global justice, development, and the real cost of globalization.
