In this conversation, Host Adesoji Iginla, alongside Aya Fubara Eneli Esq. (Milton Allimadi was called away), delves into the depiction of Africa in the Western Media.

The panel examines various pressing issues affecting Africa, including political dynamics in the upcoming Uganda Election, and how foreign interests play a role in determining the outcome.

The cultivation of law enforcement violence from colonial and post-colonial engagement with previous colonial masters also came up in the discussion

In light of the serial attempts on the life of the Burkinabe Leader, Capt. Ibrahim Traore, Adesoji, and Aya explore the historical context of coup attempts and call for action.

On Africa’s response to situations like Venezuela's President’s kidnapping, the speakers emphasise the importance of sovereignty, the role of African leaders in global politics, and the environmental concerns surrounding tourism in Kenya.

Finally, they also reflect on the need for collective responsibility and the significance of standing up for truth and justice in the face of oppression.
