EP 3 Africa's Crisis Season - Ebola | Fuel Protests | Fake Refugees | Sudan's Proxy War Exposed | African News Review

🌍 AFRICAN NEWS REVIEW | Weekly Afrocentric Analysis

Four major stories. One week. Zero filter.

This week, Adesoji Iginla, alongside Comrade Milton Allimadi and Aya Fubara Eneli Esq., cut through the Western media frame on four stories dominating Africa's news cycle and ask the questions no one else is.

This episode features a comprehensive discussion on global and African political issues, including Nigeria's kidnapping crisis, US foreign policy, African economic struggles, and international conflicts. 

The Panel analyse the impact of neocolonialism, leadership failures, and the need for African unity and self-reliance.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🦠 STORY 1 — EBOLA IN THE DRC & UGANDA 
Marco Rubio blames the WHO for being "a little late" on Ebola while the US dismantles its own public health infrastructure and cuts $13M from programs that historically served as early warning 
networks in the DRC. We unpack the Bundibugyo strain vaccine gap, why Ituri Province keeps producing outbreaks, and who really dropped the ball.

⛽ STORY 2 — AFRICA'S FUEL CRISIS
Deadly protests in Kenya, a halted capital in Mozambique, and Malawi is selling its gold reserves to buy diesel. A war Africa didn't start between the US, Israel and Iran is choking the Strait of Hormuz and making fuel unaffordable for millions. We ask the structural question Western media won't: why is a continent that produces 8% of the world's oil still a net fuel importer?

🛂 STORY 3 — WHITE SOUTH AFRICANS AS "REFUGEES" 
The US is spending $100 million to fast-track 17,500 white South Africans as refugees — while blocking Afghans, Sudanese, and Congolese fleeing documented genocides. We fact-check the "white genocide" myth with South Africa's own crime data, and ask: what is this programme really for?

⚔️ STORY 4 — SUDAN'S IMPOSSIBLE WAR 
Three years in. 33.7 million people need aid. Confirmed famine. The FT reports on Islamist militias in the SAF, but buries the UAE's documented role in arming the RSF with weapons disguised as 
humanitarian aid. We trace the RSF back to the Janjaweed, and ask why the world's worst humanitarian crisis receives a fraction of the coverage given to conflicts in the Global North.
