Our heroes are their enemies and their heroes are our enemies. Who decides which heroes we honor? Who decides what films we will watch? Who decides who we will look up to? Who decides whose statues stand on our campuses, whose stories are told on screen, and whose images shape the minds of our children?In this powerful conversation, Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Bakari Kambon breaks down the politics of soft power, from the Gandhi Must Fall movement at the University of Ghana to the deeper question of why Black people must choose, honor, document, and project our own heroes.This discussion moves through statues, murals, film, Kmt, Nana Amanirenas, Nana Malcolm X, Nana Nat Turner, Nana Yaa Asantewaa, Nana Marcus Garvey, Nana Kwame Nkrumah, Nana Thomas Sankara, Nana Patrice Lumumba, Nana Harriet Tubman, Nana Jean-Jacques Dessalines, and the ongoing work of building institutions that tell our stories for ourselves.The message is clear: those who control images control minds. If we want our stories told truthfully, we must document our own grandmothers, grandfathers, artists, builders, freedom fighters, healers, teachers, and visionaries.Learn more about the mural project: https://www.abibitumi.com/traoreLearn more about repatriation support:https://www.r2gh.comWatch and upload Black-centered content:https://www.abibitumitv.comJoin the Abibitumi community:https://www.abibitumi.comTopics covered:Gandhi Must Fall, soft power, statues, Black heroes, Abibifahodie Film Festival, Ibrahim Traoré mural, Black storytelling, Kmt, Abibitumi, repatriation, documentaries, Ghana, Burkina Faso, cultural memory, and why we must give our people their flowers while they are still here.Hashtags:#abibitumi #blackpower #abibifahodie #gandhimustfall #blackheroes #africanfilm #ghana #burkinafaso #repatriation #blackstorytelling #softpower #kmt #abibitumitv

⁣Borderless Horizons: Ghana's Visa-Free Gambit

CENTERING HEALING ACROSS GLOBAL AFRICA LONG TRAILER

Reports emerging on Sunday indicate that Sadio Camara, Mali’s🇲🇱🇲🇱 Defence Minister, has been killed following a wave of coordinated attacks on military targets across the country.
According to multiple sources, the attacks began on April 25 and hit key locations including the capital, Bamako, and the nearby garrison town of Kati. Armed groups carried out near-simultaneous assaults on army bases, the airport, and other strategic sites, marking one of the largest offensives in recent years.
Camara’s residence in Kati was among the locations targeted. He was later reported killed in the violence, although details about the exact circumstances remain limited and are still being confirmed.
The attacks are believed to have been carried out by a combination of jihadist fighters linked to al-Qaeda and Tuareg separatist groups, who appear to have coordinated their operations across multiple regions.
Mali’s military says it has been fighting back and claims to have repelled many of the attacks, but the situation remains volatile, with ongoing clashes and heightened security measures in several areas.

Lyrics below

If I told you I’ll never leave your side
Would you believe me
Or would you say na lie
Ewo would you say na lie
Ewo you’ll forever be my side
Be by my side
Forever by my side
By my side
Forever by my side

Yes I want you and I to grow old
And I don’t want nobody new
Dem talk say everything that glitter ain’t gold
But your glitter I dey choose
And you deserve a round of applause 
The way you clap it for your dude
And anybody tryna bring you any woes 
What dem a go hear is du du du
Don’t be rude
That’s my baby boo
She 10 like 8 plus 2
Don’t care what haters do do do 
Any dude wanna mess with you
Just call me on my phone

If I told you I’ll never leave your side
Would you believe me
Or would you say na lie
Ewo would you say na lie
Ewo you’ll forever be my side
Be by my side
Forever by my side
By my side
Forever by my side

My chick go check her
Sweeter than Acheke

Body no be bete 
Come lie on my kete 
Lick you like you’re letter
Signed sealed and delivered
Your back your necke

Take cash go spend it
O gash don’t bend it

Her legwork Nigerian
And she bad South African

Coochie clean Rwanda

Someone call the ambulance ay 
Someone call the ambulance ay
Way she back it up
Make me smack it up
Make I jack it up
Like a tyre truck

Ayisyen (haitian) comedian Se Joe explains, from a comedic standpoint, why he says he speaks Haitian (as opposed to creole).

⁣Renewed and growing Afrophobia-Xenophobic tensions and violent incidents against Black African migrants in South Africa, has drawn strong condemnation across Africa and the Diaspora.

Lawyer and political activist Dele Farotimi delivered an assessment of Nigeria’s democracy in this episode of 60 Minutes with Mr Kay. He argued that Nigeria’s core governance structure has failed ordinary citizens, questioned the independence of INEC and the judiciary, and claimed the 2027 race is being prepared as a “coronation” rather than a free contest. Farotimi also spoke on poverty, rule of law, ethnic divisions, failed institutions and why many Nigerians feel excluded from the democratic process. His remarks have added fresh heat to the national debate over leadership, accountability and whether Nigeria can still rebuild trust in its institutions before 2027. Watch!
