A clip from "African Tale" (1963), a Soviet animated short based on a parable by Jomo Kenyatta about African resistance to colonialism. The animation tells a clear anti-colonial allegory of animals uniting against their oppressors. A fascinating glimpse into how Cold War-era Soviet animation engaged with African independence movements.

Either this comes from ignorance, or you are deliberately dismissing the history of a country that contributed greatly to the African continent. Somalia’s contributions to Africa were extensive, and many of them came at a time when African states and liberation movements were still fighting colonialism, apartheid, and foreign domination. It began with Somalia’s own long struggle against colonial rule, including the Dervish resistance, which became one of the most remarkable and prolonged anti-colonial resistance movements in Africa. After gaining independence in 1960, Somalia did not simply turn inward and focus on itself. It became one of the founding members of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) in 1963, an organization established in part to promote African unity and help complete the liberation of the continent from colonial rule. Somalia then used its diplomatic position on the international stage to speak for Africans who were still living under colonialism. During its time on the UN Security Council in the early 1970s, Somalia pushed for stronger action against Portuguese colonialism and supported efforts to cut off the military assistance that enabled Portugal to continue its colonial wars in African territories such as Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea-Bissau. Somalia also supported African liberation movements beyond its own borders and stood behind struggles against colonialism and apartheid across the continent. That support was not merely rhetorical. Somalia provided political, diplomatic, educational, and material support to liberation movements fighting for independence and majority rule. And Somali solidarity did not stop at Africa’s borders. In 1972, Somali women protested in solidarity with Angela Davis, an African American activist who was imprisoned in the United States at the time. Carrying signs declaring “Angela Is Innocent,” they demanded her release. Despite being thousands of miles away, Somalis were paying attention to African struggles elsewhere in the world and saw the fight against racism, colonialism, and imperialism as interconnected. You are entitled to believe Ghana deserves a place on that list. But suggesting that Somalia should be removed to make room for Ghana shows a dismissive attitude toward the history of an African country that contributed greatly to the continent and, at many points in its history, stood for something that all Africans should be proud of.

In 1935, Jomo Kenyatta left for London to study economics. He ran out of money and took a role in the film Sanders of the River to survive. Marketed as pro‑African, the film instead glorified the British Empire. This was a betrayal to Kenyatta because what was promised as a dignity for Africans became propaganda for colonial rule. Kenyatta never spoke about it again.

THE BOOK THAT GOT NKRUMAH DEPOSED? Today marks 59 years since pan-African icon and Ghana's founding leader Kwame Nkrumah was removed from office in a military coup engineered by the CIA. After leading Ghana to independence from British colonial rule in 1957, Nkrumah embarked on a mission to unite the African people on the continent and in the diaspora. It was his firm belief that Africans share not only a common history, but a common destiny. He was one of the founding leaders of the African Union's predecessor, the Organization of African Unity, in 1963. In a key speech at the opening summit, he eloquently made the case for African unity. He explained that true independence and prosperity could only be attained if African nations united on both the economic and political front. He said this was the only way they could defeat the menace posed by the neo-colonial system, which was hell-bent on maintaining its control over the continent, even as most countries attained 'flag independence.' To the CIA, revolutionary pan-African leaders like Nkrumah were a danger that needed to be 'neutralised.' Their words were seen as threats by the US establishment. It is perhaps telling that it was only after Nkrumah's overthrow that the IMF engaged in debt restructuring with Ghana. In this clip, Nkrumah's editorial assistant, June Milne, relates how his book - Neo-Colonialism, The Last Stage of Imperialism - was the last straw for the US. In it, he detailed how Western countries were looting Africa's resources. Milne claims the book spurred Washington into sponsoring the coup that removed him.

🔴Kwame Ture on Why Karl Marx Did Not Invent Socialism and the Myth That African Liberation Must Be Separated from It Kwame Ture explains here that Karl Marx did not invent socialism and that socialism emerges from material conditions, not Europe. Marx did not create socialism any more than Newton created gravity. He observed, analyzed, and systematized laws that exist independently of him. This directly challenges the claim that scientific socialism is a Western imposition on African liberation because it “came after” Marx. The issue is not chronology, but development. African peoples did not need Marx to recognize exploitation, struggle against domination, or arrive at socialist conclusions. As Ture explains, wherever capital seeks to dominate labor, struggle emerges as a material fact. African resistance to slavery, colonialism, and wage exploitation demonstrates this historically. The clip makes clear that socialism is not “a white thing,” not a European invention, and not alien to African struggle. What Marx contributed was a scientific method for understanding these realities, not the realities themselves. African liberation movements independently developed socialist conclusions as colonial domination matured into capitalism. This affirms African autonomy rather than denying it. Separating Pan-Africanism from scientific socialism on the basis that it predates Marx is not a defense of African history; it is a misunderstanding of how revolutionary struggle develops under material conditions.

THE REVOLUTIONARY HISTORY OF DREADLOCKS On this day, the British colonial state executed one of Kenya's greatest freedom fighters, but his revolutionary spirit lived on - even in his hair. Dedan Kimathi's dreadlocks were more than a hairstyle, they were a statement of defiance, a rejection of colonial domination and a symbol of African identity. Today, dreadlocks are a common sight - in our homes, schools and places of work and worship. It wasn't always this way, and it took persistence and patience to mainstream an authentic African hairstyle. Stigma around dreadlocks was informed by colonialism, and its effects were felt decades after independence. It took commitment to African identity to reclaim what was once demonised.
