The Hoover History Lab held a new book talk with Stuart A. Reid: The Lumumba Plot: the Secret History of the CIA and a Cold War Assassination (Knopf, 2023) on October 17, 2023 from 12:00pm - 2:00pm.

United States-African relations have multiple dimensions, and quite a bit of history. One aspect involves coups. Almost immediately after Congo became independent from Belgium in 1960, the CIA station in Leopoldville, the capital, received an order from Washington that Congo’s new leader, Patrice Lumumba, should be removed. Congolese rebels, backed by the CIA, assassinated him. Joseph Mobutu, originally a Lumumba loyalist, eventually seized power, also with U.S. backing. Mobutu’s misrule lasted decades, and wreaked devastation. Stuart Reid has uncovered new documents and new aspects to this episode, which formed part of a larger story of the U.S. in the Cold War in what was then called the Third World.

Building on the research this short film explores how young people engage with the rural economy in sub-Saharan Africa.

This film draws on research funded by the International Fund for Agricultural Research (IFAD) and implemented by a team led by the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) and including Addis Ababa University, the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT), Makerere University, the Université Félix Houphouët-Boigny, and the University of Sussex.

An interesting talk by the great Steve Cokely. Part 2 up soon.

Why You Fell In Love With Africa

Nat Geo - Desert elephant and its characteristics - BBC
Desert elephants are not a distinct species of elephant but are African bush elephants (Loxodonta africana) that have made their homes in the Namib and Sahara deserts. It was believed at one time that they were a subspecies of the African bush elephant but this is no longer thought to be the case. Desert-dwelling elephants were once more widespread in Africa than they are now and are currently found only in Namibia and Mali. They tend to migrate from one waterhole to another following traditional routes which depend on the seasonal availability of food and water. They face pressure from poaching and from changes in land use by humans.
