When the flags of independence were raised across Africa, the world called it freedom.
But decades later, the same powers still write the rules through banks, trade deals, and the politics of “aid.”

In this episode, we explore how colonial control evolved into financial dependency.
From IMF loans and Western corporations to the quiet complicity of African elites, This week's episode unpacks the system that keeps Africa rich in resources but poor in power.

We talk about corruption not as culture, but as design.
We look at Gaddafi’s dream of a gold-backed African currency and why that dream had to be erased.
And we end with a call for true independence: the economic kind.
