⁣The training is over. The real mission begins. 🕵🏾‍

We intercepted enemy intel—a letter to an Agent on the Motherland with a plan to keep Pan-Africanism stuck in the past. This semester, our scholars build the counter-strategy.

We have 72 hours.
72 hours until our counter-operation begins.
72 hours to enroll your scholar in Afrika's Army 2.
72 hours before the first class decrypts this letter and builds the strategy to break it.

This isn’t a game. It’s training for the future they’re trying to prevent.
Your scholar doesn’t need to just read history—they need to learn how to change it.

3 DAYS LEFT.
The mission is waiting.
The cohort is forming.

Africa’s REAL Problem — Franck Zanu Breaks the Silence

Ruler Ra
6 Views · 23 hours ago

Franck Zanu of @FranckZanu joins the State of the Nation for one of the most explosive and thought-provoking conversations we’ve had all year.

Zanu — whose viral insights on Africa, culture, development and geopolitics have sparked global debate — confronts the ideas many leaders avoid:
• Why African countries continue to struggle economically
• What “culture” really means for development
• Why corruption isn’t the true root cause
• How colonialism is misunderstood
• Why South Africa’s political structure is destined for conflict
• The controversial “tribal nation” model he believes could save the continent
• And why Western countries secretly want Africa to succeed

This is not a conversation about blaming or excuses.
It’s a conversation about responsibility, culture, identity, and hard truths.

If you care about Africa’s future, South Africa’s political direction, or global geopolitics — you will not forget this episode.

✨ Tell us in the comments: Is Franck Zanu right or wrong?
