African Stream Reaction to Tucker Carlson Lies

Since the return of Donald Trump to the White House in January, there has been an upsurge in right-wing propaganda against the government of South Africa - from claims that Pretoria is discriminating against White people to allegations it’s perpetrating a 'genocide' against them. The Trump administration has not been an innocent bystander: the president himself and his sidekick, Elon Musk, have been leading the attack from the front. South Africa-based right-wing organisations such as AfriForum and Solidarity have also played a central role in this campaign against the country they call their home. In this video, we react to an interview with Ernst Roets, the deputy leader of AfriForum, by US right-wing podcaster Tucker Carlson - and expose the misinformation the pair peddle

Pan African Attitude Ep 19 | Why Africans Should Care About Palestine

For some, Israel’s attacks in West Asia and the Syrian government takeover are none of Africa’s business. Apart from the fact that solidarity is not transactional, events in Palestine carry a warning of precisely what the current global order thinks of the global majority: We are disposable. Additionally, Africa could have been where Z*onists established the state of Israel had the early-20th century plan gone through in what is now Uganda and Kenya, not to mention Israel is also playing an increasingly nefarious role in our continent through tech espionage, arms sales and resource-extraction at shockingly low prices. We recently sat down with special guest @mariamtheugandan (IG), whose real name is Mariam Nakyobe, who has been linking the struggles in Africa and Palestine. As always, please share your thoughts.

Pan-African Attitude Ep 18 | DRC: The World's Forgotten Genocide Powering Our Technology

While more than 60% of the world's cobalt (used to power smartphones, laptops and e-cars) comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, the country remains one of the world's poorest, with over 73% of Congolese people living on less than $2.15 a day. A three-decade mineral war has fuelled the destruction of the DRC, with little accountability - despite mounting evidence that Western-backed neighbour Rwanda is the prime gateway for the ‘blood minerals’ trade. In the latest escalation of the proxy war, the M23 rebel group's offensive to seize the eastern regional capital of Goma k*lled nearly 3,000 people (UN) and displaced at least 500,000 in January alone. The rebels’ operations are widely reported as being largely controlled by the Rwanda Defence Forces, which also fund, arm and provide military personnel for M23. Join us for Episode 18 of our Pan-African Attitude Podcast, as we peel back the layers of why the gen*cide in Congo has largely been forgotten, despite displacing over 7-million people in the last 30 years, with approximately 6 million k*lled between 1998 and 2010.

Pan-African Attitude Ep 17 | African Stream's CEO Sits Down With His Father To Discuss Sudan's War

Editor-in-Chief Ahmed Kaballo sat down with his father, Sidgi Kaballo, who is an economist, academic and Central Committee member of Sudan's Communist Party, to discuss the proxy war in Sudan. In this insightful interview, Sidgi Kaballo, who spent seven months inside Sudan from the onset of the war, walked us through his two-fold experience. He relayed his experience as a civilian witnessing the war first-hand, including his encounters with the United Arab Emirates-backed Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group that ransacked his home, stole his car and injured his arm. The second perspective Kaballo provided is that of an intellectual and political analyst who understands the root causes of the war, explaining who is backing both sides, and why neither warring party is the 'good guy.'
