What Is A Color Revolution?
Most of Africa’s nations gained their independence between the 1950s and 1960s, but the colonial entity that spent over 400 preceding years oppressing these nations had no intention of ever leaving them alone.
Africa has dealt with the consequences of this truth ever since. Across the continent, and the wider Global South, every nation that has dared to chart a truly independent course has seen a curious rise in political and social turmoil, usually followed by the ousting or decapitation of its leadership, and the swift return to a political status quo that always favored the West.
In this report for The Spearhead, Barra Hart offers a crash course on the West’s regime change playbook, using Ukraine, Nigeria and Tanzania as case studies.
Nigerian Expat Doctor Recounts Experience Of R*cism In The UK
”Why are you here?”
For many African healthcare professionals across the Diaspora, this is a weaponized accusation.
Dr. Paul Awah, a radiographer within the UK’s NHS, is speaking out about a reality that many Africans living abroad face daily: the exhaustion of having to prove their competence in a system that inherently views them as intruders. From patients feigning inability to understand his clear English to the blatant refusal of care based solely on skin color, the professional environment has become increasingly hostile.
Africa’s best and brightest are forced to work “extra hard” just to be recognized as professionals and as humans.
At a time when popular revolutions to seize political sovereignty and economic freedom are incubating across the continent, Africans living under such circumstances abroad will soon have to answer the very important question: Is the search for opportunity worth the constant, systematic assault on your dignity?

₦50,000 WAEC Fees - How the West Ensures Nigeria Never Becomes a Superpower
Nigeria’s educational sovereignty is at stake.
While the proposed ₦50,000 hike in WAEC and NECO fees faced suspension following public outcry, the underlying policy trajectory; heavily influenced by external institutions like the IMF and World Bank, remains a critical concern.
By prioritizing austerity over the development of our youth, Nigeria risks creating a generation intellectually ill-equipped to compete on the global stage.
It is time to move beyond externally dictated measures and focus on building an accessible, robust educational foundation that secures Nigeria’s future as a true superpower.
David Miller: Israel Used Honey Traps and Front Companies to Expand Intelligence Operations in Africa
New investigations have exposed the clandestine methods used to expand intelligence operations across Africa and the Global South.
From the strategic use of honey traps impacting leadership in Morocco and Jordan, to the operation of corporate front companies like the Black Star Line in Ghana and Incoda in Ethiopia, these revelations detail how intelligence services have covertly influenced governance and camouflage their activities.
ICYMI:
Following the recent furore over thousands of Moroccan “migrants” crossing into the supposed “Spanish territory” of Ceuta in North Africa, here is our report from earlier this year about how this part of continental Africa came under the control of Spain and remains so despite the Moroccan government’s constant agitation.
