Excerpt from Professor Leonard Jefffries' Albany speech @ Empire State Black Arts 7/20/91
Leonard Jeffries on the Phil Donahue Show 1991

⁣Zimbabwe is facing a severe African armyworm outbreak, with the destructive pest spreading across 30 districts. Key crops like maize, rice, wheat, and barley are under threat, raising concerns over food security.

⁣Kidnapping is a growing crisis in Nigeria, with ₦2.2 trillion paid in ransoms between May 2023 and April 2024. The 2025 abduction of retired General Tsiga, whose ₦400 million ransom was raised by over 300 contributors, highlights widespread insecurity.
On April 2, 2025, the U.S. imposed tariffs of 10% to 50% on imports, threatening Nigeria's $5.7 billion export revenue, predominantly oil. Trade with the U.S. has fallen by 44%, while trade with China grew 975% over 20 years, emphasising the need for greater intra-African trade through the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
A recent trip to Cotonou, Benin, showcased a slower lifestyle than Nigeria, where numerous checkpoints illustrate a deepening trust deficit.
Gen Z must engage in politics, focusing on candidates' records, advocating for photo ballots, and supporting term limits for legislative refreshment.

⁣In this edisode, I sit down with Timothy Kalyegira, a seasoned journalist and political analyst, to unpack the escalating tensions surrounding Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba’s controversial actions.

From his provocative tweets threatening EU ambassadors to the detention and alleged torture of Eddie Mutwe, we explore how these incidents are straining Uganda-EU relations.

Will the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU) party’s planned peaceful demonstration proceed amidst this crackdown?

Timothy offers his sharp analysis on Muhoozi’s basement boast, the military’s role, and the broader implications for Uganda’s democracy.
