Africa has long been looked at by outsiders as a continent that is hopelessly mired in corruption and incapable of social and economic development. This book by Susan Williams annihilates the lie.
Thousands of people took to the streets in Nairobi again this week to protest the government of President William Ruto. The protests have been called for by opposition leader Raila Odinga, who has tapped into public anger against rising costs of living.
April 9 marks the US activist-singer’s 125th birth anniversary. Paul Robeson, son of a formerly enslaved man, was nothing less than amazing. Two articles.
For more than a century after the Civil War, the treatment of Black Americans was so horrific that it is easy to see why these atrocities were left out of textbooks.
The transformation of modern humans from a ‘non-speaking’ to a ‘speaking’ species took place as our hunter-gatherer ancestors migrated out of Africa.
The twentieth anniversary of the murder of Amilcar Cabral is an opportune time to consider his achievements and the relevance of both his thought and practice – especially regarding events that are unfolding in Africa today.
The African continent’s refusal to toe the Western line on the New Cold War – its calls for peace negotiations in Ukraine, its reconfiguration of international partners – suggests that a different world order is possible: one in which Africa is no longer beholden to the ‘united West’.
The West Africa Peoples Organisation has welcomed the proposal for greater collaboration between Burkina Faso, Mali, and Guinea, and has called for coordinating and planning production, trade, infrastructure, economic development, and defence.
When the first modern humans arose in East Africa sometime between 200,000 and 300,000 years ago, we – meaning people of our species, Homo sapiens – were only one of several types of humans (or hominins) that simultaneously existed on Earth.
Mali, Guinea, Burkina Faso: We do not know yet how good or bad the coup governments in these countries will be, but definitely, they have weakened the parasitic hold of France and the USA on a large part of Africa. Also: “Peace Deal Between Ethiopian Government and TPLF Holds Despite Delays in Implementation”.
Janata Weekly is India’s oldest independent socialist weekly.
Ever since its founding in 1946, Janata has voiced its principled dissent against all conduct and practice that is detrimental to the cherished values of nationalism, democracy, secularism and socialism, while upholding the integrity and the ethical norms of healthy journalism. For more than seventy years now, week after week, it has continued to analyse the changes taking place in the country and the world from a socialist standpoint, and thus promote the spread of socialist ideology in the country.
Address: D-15, Ganesh Prasad, Naushir Bharucha Marg, Mumbai- 400007.
