HOW THE WEST FROZE AFRICA IN TIME Africans who were hailed as revolutionaries after independence were really just sensible men with a clear understanding of Africa's needs, but they struck many as ‘ahead of their time’ because our continent was still being held back by neo-colonial exploiters and their puppets. That’s the verdict of geopolitical analyst Shahid Bolsen (X), who says our continent was ‘frozen’ in time, not allowed to progress and develop beyond the colonial era. He argues that the West's relationship with Africa has historically been one of subjugation and extraction, keeping our continent in a state of stagnation through violence, coups and exploitative economic policies. He says, 'For Lumumba or Nkrumah, it was the 1960s, but for the West, it was still the 1860s, the 1760s, the 1660s.' Pan-African leaders such as Burkina Faso’s Thomas Sankara, Ghana’s Kwame Nkrumah and Congo’s Patrice Lumumba were eliminated or removed from power by imperialists because their progressive policies were on course to stop the pillaging of our continent and unleash its massive potential for the benefit of its people. Following in their footsteps, Ibrahim Traoré of Burkina Faso is emerging as a transformative leader spearheading a break from Western dominance. His efforts to regain control of his country’s resources and build alliances beyond the West are seen as acts of dignity and self-determination by many Africans. Alongside Assimi Goïta from Mali and Abdourahmane Tchiani from Niger, Traoré is advocating for African unity and sovereignty, gaining respect and support from anti-imperialists worldwide.

“This is a mere family affair.” With these words captured on tape, Gabonese president Brice Oligui Nguema unwittingly confirmed what many already knew about Gabon’s August 2023 coup - it was neither ideologically driven nor was it motivated by any intention of effecting some kind of significant change in Gabon’s political status quo. Recorded clandestinely by former Gabonese president Ali Bongo’s eldest son Noureddin Bongo after his May 2025 release from a 20-month spell in detention following his father's ouster, this video provides a rare direct look into the inner workings of French imperialism in Africa. During the parley with the younger Bongo and his French mother Sylvia Bongo, Brice Nguema confirmed that the August 2025 coup was staged in close coordination with French president Emmanuel Macron, whom he apparently assured that longtime French puppet Bongo and his family were being treated well. Appealing to Noureddin Bongo to shelve any plan for revenge, he described the August 2025 coup as a “family affair” which was necessary to ensure that “another” officer did not carry out a coup and cause a “catastrophe.” The “catastrophe” in question was a revolutionary coup by soldiers with nationalist, Pan-African, or anti-imperialist ideologies, such as in Burkina Faso in 2022 and Niger in 2023. Such a sequence of events would have doomed Gabon's Bongo family dynasty, which includes Nguema - himself a cousin of Ali Bongo. More importantly, it would have hastened the demise of France's brutal imperial enterprise once built on the back of 14 pseudo-independent African nations. This serves as an important reminder that as Africans seek a change in the continent's neocolonial status quo, the motivations and entanglement of any actors who rise up to seize power must be carefully assessed. For every Ibrahim Traoré, there is a Brice Nguema, and for every Assimi Goita, there is a Mamady Dombouya.
