Equatorial Guinea's Government Shuffle: Beyond Western Media Headline
If you stumbled across recent Western media coverage of a cabinet reshuffle in Equatorial Guineanand you did not read past the headline, you would have come away with a completely different impression of what actually happened.
Mckay Chukwu explores the disingenuous semantic game that was deployed here, and why Africans must as a matter of survival, always treat western media with extreme caution and suspicion.
EFF Spokesperson: South Africa’s Latest Anti-Immigration Wave Is Externally Funded, Not Organic
In recent months, South Africa has witnessed a tragically familiar resurgence of anti-immigrant viol*nce, fueled by the oldest trick in the colonial book: “divide and conquer”. At a time when predatory Western corporations are kicking against the country’s equality laws – aimed at ensuring its African majority actually benefits from its economy – and when the US government is actively supporting separatist groups in the country led by white supr*macists, the timing of this resurgence could not be more telling.
Under the false pretext of “protecting” their country from “crim*nals”, a noisy minority of historically-illiterate South Africans has flooded the streets, hunting down and att*cking Africans from other nations, blocking their children at the gates of schools, and calling for them to return to their countries. The African Union and human rights groups have strongly condemned these violations. Ghana and Nigeria have since summoned their South African envoys over them. And through it all, the neocolonial forces that are actually responsible for the economic state of Africa’s longest and most directly colonized nations continue to enjoy their eternal free pass.
In this June 8, 2026, interview, Sinawo Thambo, South African Member of Parliament and National Spokesperson for the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party, comments on the forces behind this malicious movement, and where the necessary funding may be coming from.
Germany, Netherlands to Return Ghana’s Looted Artefacts
As conversations on reparative justice led by Ghana are taking place at the Next Steps Conference in Accra, Germany and the Netherlands have promised to return 2,000 looted artefacts to Ghana. Denmark has also officially apologised for its role in the slave trade.
is Europe finally accepting its culpability for the horrifying crimes it has committed against the African people for over 400 years, or is this yet another ill-intentioned political maneuver?

Kenya Moves To Offer Critical Minerals To US
Not content with handing its citizens’ health data on a plate to the United States, and exposing them to a potential Ebola outbreak from infected US citizens, the Western-aligned government of Kenya is now moving to sign off the country’s critical minerals to the US.
Kenyan President William Ruto announced this in an interview during the 2026 G7 Summit in France, describing the deal as “mutually beneficial”.
Yet history’s verdict is very clear on just how interested the United States is in “benefiting” Africa, and we do not have to look very far back in time.
So the question Kenyans must ask is… What is their current leader really up to?

Western Mining Companies In DRC Kick Against Government’s Deadline To Give More Value To Congolese People
On January 30, 2026, the government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) issued a 6-month deadline to all mining companies operating in the country to fully comply with its Mining Code. This code mandates that these companies set aside a little more of their equity for the Congolese people whose resources they are raking in billions of dollars annually extracting.
Yet for these exclusively Western companies, this policy is apparently asking too much.
And given the West’s history with Africa, this should come as no surprise.
