When African Stream became one of the fastest-growing revolutionary media outlets on the planet, Washington took notice — and Silicon Valley pulled the plug. In this MintCast episode, hosts Mnar Adley and Alan MacLeod speak with Ahmed Kaballo, founder of African Stream, about the U.S.-led campaign that led to his platform being removed from the internet. 

Kaballo also breaks down the rise of Burkina Faso’s young leader Ibrahim Traoré, the grassroots movement driving the Sahel’s anti-imperialist wave, and the growing push to expel Western military forces from Africa.
