  Onyesonwe Chatoyer: Report Back from Cuba: Sanctions, Detentions & Resistance

  Sep 20, 202630 min

  Washington has rolled out fresh sanctions on Cuba’s state‑run mining, metals, and construction sectors — and is accusing Havana of running a covert influence network inside the United States. Meanwhile, Americans returning from Castro‑centennial events are being detained and searched at Miami airport, and Cuba’s economy is buckling under blackouts, fuel shortages, and collapsing infrastructure. This isn’t just policy; it’s a pressure campaign with real‑world fallout. Let’s break down what’s happening — and why it matters now. Onyesonwu Chatoyer - editor with Hood Communist , co-chair of the National Network on Cuba , an organizer with the Venceremos Brigade and a dynamite exploding on patriarchy joins me for this episode - reporting back from Cuba.

  Inem Richardson: The Battle for Niger: Russia, Algeria & Africa’s New Geopolitical Order

  Sep 2, 202629 min

  Based in the Sahel, Burkina Faso, journalist, activist, Pan-Africanist, Inem Richardson speaks on the recent Nigerian mutinous act as an attempted challenge to Niger's sovereignty and revolutionary government. Inem is a journalist with Sovereign Media and is a co-founder of The Thomas Sankara Center . On the night of August 28, 2026, gunfire erupted at Air Base 101 in Niamey—the same base holding a thousand tonnes of uranium concentrate, the same base where Russian soldiers now stand guard where French legionnaires once stood. By morning, a coup attempt against General Tiani's military junta had been crushed—not by Nigeriens alone, but by Russian Africa Corps troops, Algerian fighter jets, and the solidarity of Mali and Burkina Faso. Three years after Niger expelled French forces and pivoted toward Moscow, the question is no longer whether neo-colonialism is dead. The question is: what has replaced it? And who, exactly, is fighting for what? Inem gives a revolutionary analysis of the mutiny, uranium, and the new scramble for the Sahel.

  Pius Vilakati: Pegged: The Hidden Chains Between Eswatini and South Africa

  Jul 1, 202628 min

  PiusVilakati, International Secretary of the Communist Party of Swaziland, currently exiled in Azania/South Africa, joins me to talk about the dialectical relations of the economy of South Africa and eSwatiniEswatini doesn't control its own currency. Half its government revenue depends on a customs union it cannot leave. And for over a century, its men have gone underground to dig South Africa's gold. In this episode, we examine the dialectical relationship between Eswatini and South Africa — two economies locked in contradiction, each shaping and shaped by the other. We trace the history from colonial dispossession through apartheid-era collusion to the structural dependency that persists today — pegged currency, South African banks, South African supermarkets, South African electricity, South African telecommunications. And we ask the question that the official story of independence has always avoided: is Eswatini a sovereign nation — or a labour reserve with a flag?

  Dr. Shukura Umi: Built On Our Bodies: A History of Medical Experimentation

  Jun 14, 202629 min

  Their bodies built Western medicine. Their names were erased. Their families were never paid. And their daughters are still dying today. This episode is about African women — not as victims, but as the uncredited founders of an entire medical field. We trace an unbroken line from Anarcha, Lucy, and Betsy, three enslaved women who endured dozens of experimental surgeries without anesthesia in 1845 Alabama, to Sarah Bartman, displayed in European freak shows and kept in pieces in a Paris museum until 1974, to Henrietta Lacks, whose stolen cells built the polio vaccine and the COVID-19 vaccine while her own family went uncompensated for decades. Then we bring it to today — to Kira Johnson and Dr. Shalon Irving, two African women who died in American hospitals in the 21st century not because of poverty or lack of education, but because of race. Our guest, Dr. Shukura Umi, connects every one of these dots — and makes the case that until African people own the resources, the land, and the institutions that govern their health, this history will keep repeating itself. Forward ever, backwards never.

  Jaki Seroke: Manufactured Enemies - Xenophobia, White Capital & the Third Force

  Jun 8, 202618 min

  The township burns. The Sandton mansion does not. In this episode, we expose the engineered hatred behind South Africa's anti-immigrant violence — tracing it from today's March and March marches all the way back to the apartheid state's documented strategy of funding Black factions to fight each other. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission proved it happened before. The question is whether it's happening again — and who benefits. One episode. One question: who put the knife in the hand, and who made sure it was pointed at the wrong person? Pan-African Congress of Azania Deputy President, Jaki Seroke, returns to take us through this episde.
