Benjamin Nije Interview

⁣Following a wave of coups in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger, military regimes have entrenched their rule, established the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), withdrawn from the regional bloc ECOWAS, and dismantled mainly Western-led bilateral and multilateral stabilisation mechanisms. These shifts have caused further disruption to an already unstable region plagued by ever-growing jihadist violence and economic hardship. With multilateralism in retreat, bilateral power dynamics are taking on new roles: Russia, Turkey, Iran and increasingly Qatar and the UAE are vying for diplomatic influence and economic footholds in the region.

The Marimba and music Currulao from the Kmtyu of the Pacific Coast of colombia meets with the ancestral homeland of Senegal and the ancestral Balafon. In our studies, the Kmtyu of the Pacific Coast have theorized the Marimba is a descendant of the Balafon, and was reconstructed in the Choco rainforest when our ancestors were trafficked there. We also have a large ancestry from the ancient Mali empire in our Abibiman genepool, to include Senegambia. ⁣The marimba player is Hugo Candelario, from Guapi, Cauca, and one of the country's best marimba players.

"The question I want to ask is why is Africa the richest continent in the world? I would say in every term, even in terms of water, why is Africa the poorest? Why are our people the wretched of the earth? I think we parliamentarians what we should be asking all the time is why are we seeing to be the Wretched of the Earth? When we should be the richest of the earth, why?"
- Sidia Jatta Gambian Lawmaker, member of PDOIS a Gambian Pan-African Political Party.
