Definitely, I wish I knew some media that covers Africa as a whole. With all of the US’s attention on the Russian, Chinese, and Iranian corners of Asia, it has neglected both Latin America and Africa in political struggle. Unlike the former’s proximity to the US, Africa is capable of mobilizing decolonial struggle with much more force. I think there is many reasons for this ‘sudden’ resistance. For one I think racism plays a role in the West underestimating African potential to challenge it (plus there’s no chosen big bad boogey man to commit an arms race with). As well as not understanding all the political avenues of struggle due to the negligence and homogenization of the diverse cultures of Africa. But secondly I think the alienation of Africa’s natural resources from the finance brained West via industrial middle men countries like China, leads the West to totally negate Africa in the manufactured products they consume, or at least I haven’t seen much awareness of it.
I suspect two main factors have been economic and material support from China as well as the west getting bogged down in their proxy war in Ukraine. US is powerful, but it can’t be everywhere at once. The past two years significantly depleted US military stocks, and have caused massive economic damage to the west as a whole. I suspect this was the catalyst for the anti-colonial uprising in Africa that we’re seeing.
I’m very optimistic about overall developments happening in Africa right now. It seems like western imperialism is finally being defeated at scale.
