The Spearhead Permanently Banned From US-Controlled TikTok

Nov 10, 2026

On November 7, 2026, The Spearhead’s TikTok account, which boasted over 106k followers and 1.5m likes, was banned from the US-controlled social media platform. An attempt to create a new account the following day was hit almost immediately with a “circumvention” ban, meaning The Spearhead can no longer create an account on TikTok. This ban followed months of unexplained strikes against our posts, including one for “use of racial hate speech” over our use of the word “Niger” – as in the West African country, Niger. We routinely appealed these strikes, ultimately to no avail.

It is clear that the Western forces currently controlling TikTok outside its Chinese homebase do not want an unapologetically Pan-Africanist, anti-imperialist account on their app. We anticipated this, of course. After what the US State Department did to African Stream in 2024, we knew the arena we were stepping into when we started this journey.

Does this ban suck? Yes. Are we backing down? Never! We will continue to share Africa’s stories, on Africa’s terms, on every platform where we can yet find a voice. The enemies of humanity have not seen anything yet. More channels will be announced soon. In the meantime, please subscribe to our Substack at so you don’t miss a thing.

Motherland or death. We will prevail!

Tanzania Secures $1.4 Billion for 424km Railway Expansion

African Proverb Of The Week

The Sotho are Bantu-speaking ethnic group who inhabit Southern Africa. What does this proverb from their indigenous philosophy tell us? It tells us to strike at our enemy where they are most vulnerable. For Africans, that enemy is the West, the West which for over 500 years has plundered and terrorized our continent, and used the loot to build its economies.

The hyperinflated living standards enjoyed by Western nations are inextricably linked to the Western plunder of African resources. We have seen the clearest proof of this in France, where protests in response to worsening economic conditions are rocking the country. France’s economy has been in freefall ever since it was kicked out of its 3 wealthiest former West African colonies. Alliance of Sahel States (AES) members Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso severed ties with their former colonizer between 2021 and 2023, nationalized resources that France once plundered with impunity, and have since seen rapid economic, social and political progress.

The AES crushed the parasitic French bug against a wall, and is now reaping the benefits. The rest of Africa would do well to follow suit.

A Peugeot 504 Once Cost N1,080 - What Happened to the Naira?

Back in 1977, buying a brand-new Peugeot 504 in Nigeria cost a mere ₦1,080; today, a similar vehicle demands tens of millions. This massive divide highlights the severe collapse of the naira’s purchasing power over decades of economic strategies, notably the SAPs championed by the IMF and World Bank.
