March 28, 2025African Stream Reaction to Tucker Carlson LiesSince the return of Donald Trump to the White House in January, there has been an upsurge in right-wing propaganda against the government of South Africa - from claims that Pretoria is discriminating against White people to allegations it’s perpetrating a 'genocide' against them. The Trump administration has not been an innocent bystander: the president himself and his sidekick, Elon Musk, have been leading the attack from the front. South Africa-based right-wing organisations such as AfriForum and Solidarity have also played a central role in this campaign against the country they call their home. In this video, we react to an interview with Ernst Roets, the deputy leader of AfriForum, by US right-wing podcaster Tucker Carlson - and expose the misinformation the pair peddle...more32minPlay

March 26, 2025Pan African Attitude Ep 19 | Why Africans Should Care About PalestineFor some, Israel’s attacks in West Asia and the Syrian government takeover are none of Africa’s business. Apart from the fact that solidarity is not transactional, events in Palestine carry a warning of precisely what the current global order thinks of the global majority: We are disposable. Additionally, Africa could have been where Z*onists established the state of Israel had the early-20th century plan gone through in what is now Uganda and Kenya, not to mention Israel is also playing an increasingly nefarious role in our continent through tech espionage, arms sales and resource-extraction at shockingly low prices. We recently sat down with special guest @mariamtheugandan (IG), whose real name is Mariam Nakyobe, who has been linking the struggles in Africa and Palestine. As always, please share your thoughts....more52minPlay
March 24, 2025Pan-African Attitude Ep 18 | DRC: The World's Forgotten Genocide Powering Our TechnologyWhile more than 60% of the world's cobalt (used to power smartphones, laptops and e-cars) comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, the country remains one of the world's poorest, with over 73% of Congolese people living on less than $2.15 a day. A three-decade mineral war has fuelled the destruction of the DRC, with little accountability - despite mounting evidence that Western-backed neighbour Rwanda is the prime gateway for the ‘blood minerals’ trade. In the latest escalation of the proxy war, the M23 rebel group's offensive to seize the eastern regional capital of Goma k*lled nearly 3,000 people (UN) and displaced at least 500,000 in January alone. The rebels’ operations are widely reported as being largely controlled by the Rwanda Defence Forces, which also fund, arm and provide military personnel for M23. Join us for Episode 18 of our Pan-African Attitude Podcast, as we peel back the layers of why the gen*cide in Congo has largely been forgotten, despite displacing over 7-million people in the last 30 years, with approximately 6 million k*lled between 1998 and 2010....more1h 26minPlay
March 24, 2025Pan-African Attitude Ep 17 | African Stream's CEO Sits Down With His Father To Discuss Sudan's WarEditor-in-Chief Ahmed Kaballo sat down with his father, Sidgi Kaballo, who is an economist, academic and Central Committee member of Sudan's Communist Party, to discuss the proxy war in Sudan. In this insightful interview, Sidgi Kaballo, who spent seven months inside Sudan from the onset of the war, walked us through his two-fold experience. He relayed his experience as a civilian witnessing the war first-hand, including his encounters with the United Arab Emirates-backed Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group that ransacked his home, stole his car and injured his arm. The second perspective Kaballo provided is that of an intellectual and political analyst who understands the root causes of the war, explaining who is backing both sides, and why neither warring party is the 'good guy.'...more1h 5minPlay
September 09, 2024Showdown: Nigeria's Dangote Vs Global Oil GiantsThere is a pretty straight line from colonial exploitation to modern-day neocolonialism. Few African countries process their own raw materials - rather, the value is added elsewhere, and the finished products reimported, much to the benefit of foreign-owned companies. Multinational companies hold enormous economic and political power in post-independence African countries, a colonial hangover that’s seen them take part in illicit capital flight, pay low royalties and low rates of tax, provide little in the way of local employment and spur the destruction of local industries. When Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, announced that Nigeria would be moving up the value chain and that he would be building a 20-billion dollar, 650,000-barrels-a-day refinery that would meet domestic needs and export to the rest of Africa, ending the country’s age-old reliance on global oil giants, local importers and state regulators - who for decades have lived comfortably in those giants’ pockets - lost it. Efforts to sabotage the project, the largest single-train refinery in the world, which began operations in January of 2023, got underway. The Dangote refinery, which represents a threat to the West’s lucrative refinery-products market share, has been struggling to acquire enough feedstock of Nigerian crude. Some of Europe’s largest refineries, like Shell and TotalEnergies, are owned by International Oil Companies (IOCs), and have for decades had a stranglehold on Nigeria’s oil industry. They essentially refused to sell crude to the Dangote refinery, insisting on a $6 premium above market price - forcing it to source crude from Brazil and the United States at a higher price. It appears the objective is to ensure the Dangote refinery fails, guaranteeing that Nigeria continues to export raw crude and import refined products, making it dependent on IOCs, as it has been for decades. African Stream’s Erick Gavala takes a deep dive into this high-stakes showdown. Your reactions in the comments are appreciated....more13minPlay
August 17, 2024We React | Talk TV Propaganda Channel For Race RiotsBritain’s racist underbelly was revealed to the world two weeks ago, when far-right riots spread across England and Northern Ireland - in response to misinformation about the identity of a triple child murder suspect, falsely claimed to be a Muslim asylum seeker. This led to over a week of racially-motivated violence, arson, looting and attacks on mosques and refugee hotels. In this video, we react to those events - discussing some of the problems with how parts of the media covered them, and arguing that only a strong Africa will ensure safety for the diaspora. Listen in and feel free to join the convo in the comments....more34minPlay
August 07, 2024Pan-African Attitude Ep 16 | Why are the Far-Right on the Loose in the UK?The UK is in crisis right now, with Black and Brown people attacked on the street, hotels housing asylum seekers set alight and attacked, Muslim women being attacked with acid and even graves of Muslims being attacked by mobs of the far-right. Oh, and we forgot to mention a small child on the streets of Belfast in the Occupied North of Ireland is heard shouting “P*kis out” “P*kis out” as she walks down the street while the mother of the child smiles. How did this happen? How did the UK turn into a place of programs against ethnic minorities? We break this all down with legendary hip-hop rapper and journalist @lowkey. ...more1h 5minPlay
August 07, 2024Pan-African Attitude Ep. 15 | Venezuelan Elections: Stolen Or Won Fairly?Venezuela has long been subject to foreign interference and meddling in its political process ever since socialist president Hugo Chavez came to power on 2 February 1999. There have been several coups, one in 2002 against Hugo Chavez and one in 2019 against the incumbent president Nicolas Maduro. Maduro's supporters argue that this is also happening again today, with U.S.-backed opposition forces refusing to recognise the results of the elections and trying to overthrow Maurdo's government and replace it with opposition leader Edmundo González. Opposition supporters argue that the election was stolen and that Maduro is holding on to power illegally, with the U.S. government agreeing with this position and recognising Edmundo González Urrutia as the winner of Venezuela's presidential election and, therefore, the country's new president. On today's episode of Pan-African Attitude, we break all this down with two guests who were recently in Venezuela to observe the elections and another Venezuelan guest who lives in Venezuela....more1h 10minPlay
