Ibrahim Traoré Confirms Western Bioweapon Concerns
Western intelligence activities in Africa are a threat to the continent’s sovereignty and it’s time more African leaders called it out.
Burkina Faso’s President, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, has exposed an attempt by Western intelligence agencies to introduce biological weapons into his country, showing a pattern of foreign interference that can no longer be overlooked.
From the illegal 1996 Pfizer drug trial in Kano to concerns over US-funded biological research laboratories in countries such as Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and Uganda, Africa has too often been treated as a testing ground rather than an equal partner.
The larger issue is sovereignty. Why do foreign governments continue to involve themselves in African affairs?
David Hundeyin: Global Powers Did Not Become Wealthy Through “Democracy”
Are intellectual dishonesty and ideological duplicity the only things that Africa should expect from any Western incursions into its information spaces?
Speaking during a public panel session on News Central Television on Thursday 23 July, 2026, Nigerian investigative journalist and founder of The Spearhead, David Hundeyin made the point that not only do western powers fund the intellectual misdirection of Africa’s “educated” classes via their funded civil society extensions, but they also do not even acknowledge that the source of their modern wealth - colonialism and neocolonialism - had nothing to do with internal “democracy”, and everything to do with the extractive dictatorship they have imposed across Africa and the Global South.

Africans Need To Start Thinking Critically – General Abdourahamane Tiani
In this excerpt from an exclusive interview with Radio télévision du Niger (RTN), aired on July 25, 2026, Nigerien President General Abdourahamane Tiani sheds light on the external forces sponsoring t*rrorism in the Sahel, and challenges Africans to never trust the surface narratives about their own continent fed to them by Western media, but always look deeper.
Since severing ties with former colonizer France in 2023, Niger has continued to record political, social and economic winds. It has shared the fruits of this progress with its fellow Alliance of Sahel States (AES) members, Mali and Burkina Faso.
