Geopolitics with Ghost - Bonus Episode: Africa’s War Map & the National Security Strategy - December 10, 2025

In this bonus episode, Ghost takes listeners on a rapid-fire tour of Africa’s escalating conflicts and how they tie directly into Trump’s newly released National Security Strategy. He breaks down the Thai–Cambodian border clashes happening in real time as he reads the document, then pivots to major developments across Africa, Burundi and Rwanda trading accusations after bombings, the M23 rebel advance in the DRC, and the strategic fight for rare earth minerals that underpin global power. Ghost walks through maps, troop movements, rebel-backed offensives, and the growing involvement of regional players including Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Zambia, and the U.S. He also analyzes the attempted coup in Benin, Nigeria’s controversial intervention, and the Sahel alliance’s warning that their air defenses are now on high alert. Throughout the episode, Ghost connects each flashpoint to the broader global conflict playing out in Ukraine, Venezuela, and beyond, arguing that Africa has become a central front in the worldwide struggle between sovereign nations and globalist powers. A dense, immersive, high-signal briefing from start to finish.
