Blinken’s bleak trip to Africa and America’s doomed effort to maintain colonial control
Manage episode 338270988 series 2946613
From August 7th through August 12th, 2022, United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken traveled to South Africa, the Congo and Rwanda, to fight for continued access to the continent’s wealth in the face of growing competition from China and Russia.
He also sought to win support for the U.S. condemnation of Russia and arming of Ukraine, in the face of the refusal of African countries to budge from a neutral position in the United Nations. His visit followed visits to Africa by leaders of Russia and France.
To understand America's doomed effort to maintain colonial control, we talk with:
- Luwezi Kinshasa, Secretary General of the African Socialist International. SG Luwezi was born in Congo and is currently in exile in London. He speaks English, French and several African languages including Lingala, the language of the African region of his birth.
- Tafarie Mugeri, Chairman of the African People’s Socialist Party in Occupied Azania, also known by its colonial name of South Africa. He is the Director of Organization on the African continent for the African Socialist International.
Black Power Talks is produced by WBPU 96.3 FM "Black Power 96" in St. Petersburg, Florida. This episode was hosted by Dr. Matsemela Odom and Solyana Bekele, bringing an African Internationalist perspective to the important issues of our world.
