The U.S. Airstrike in Nigeria Confirms Why the U.S Africa Command (AFRICOM) Must Be Shut Down — The Black Alliance for Peace
If it was not clear before the U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) Christmas Day bombing of its Sokoto state, that Nigeria is not a sovereign African nation but is instead a neo-colonial state with a Western puppet government, it should be crystal clear now. The longstanding fundamental crisis of the sovereignty of African nations lies in the continuity of its neo-colonial structures, with the unrestrained operation of AFRICOM as a graphic example of that dependency.
Imam Jamil Al-Amin, Presente! — The Black Alliance for Peace
To speak of Imam Jamil Al-Amin (formerly H. Rap Brown) is to speak of a life lived in courageous chapters. As the Chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), his voice, sharp as a scalpel and uncompromising as truth, cut through the illusions of a nation in denial. He was, as he famously declared, "a revolutionary," and his very existence was a challenge to the violent architecture of white supremacy.
The Black Alliance for Peace Stands Unequivocally Behind Kenya’s Youth Upholding Resistance Against U.S. Puppet State Imperialism and Neo-Liberalism — The Black Alliance for Peace
In June 2024, Kenya was racked by youth mobilizations, referred to as the Gen Z Movement protests, as that nation’s young people rose up against the neo-liberal austerity measures enacted by the U.S. lackey president William Ruto. In typical fashion, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) had demanded increased taxation and funding cuts to a country whose leadership has privileged the dictates of imperialism over its own people.
Now is the Time for All Anti-Imperialists and Justice Loving People to Stand Unequivocally in Defense of Burkina Faso
It is no surprise to the Black Alliance for Peace’s (BAP) Africa Team and U.S. Out of Africa Network (USOAN) that aggression is stepping up against the countries in the anti-imperialist Alliance of Sahel States. This was reflected in the flagrantly baseless accusations against Burkina Faso’s leader Ibrahim Traoré.

The re-election of Donald Trump coincides with the rise of authoritarian leaders across the world, from the Philippines to El Salvador, from Hungary to South Korea. As in the United States, in each of these countries resistance forces have risen to challenge authoritarian leaders. This series will explore lessons from the resistance in different countries, lessons that can assist progressive forces in this country. We’re planning for these webinars to take place on the third Thursday of each month.

Black Agenda Report
The United States proxy war against the Russian Federation continues to impact the African continent. Since the beginning of the Russian Special Military Operation in Ukraine, the African continent has become a major battleground in the renewed Cold War between Moscow and Washington.
Black Agenda Report
The recent attack on Mali has the fingerprints of Western imperialism all over it. This series of events is part of the tried and true imperialist method of creating the conditions for intervention by sewing chaos and terror. This cyclical process must be broken through revolutionary action.
The Ruthless And Desperate Pursuit Of US Influence And Access Over Africa
Above photo: AFRICOM Commander Michael Langley. AFRICOM is growing more bold in its attempts to maintain dominance over the African continent. Now is the time for Pan-African and Black Nationalist forces to organize to sabotage those efforts and support the masses struggling to free themselves from the yoke of imperialism.

The Facts about ECOWAS by The Black Alliance for Peace Africa Team — The Black Alliance for Peace
The US and EU states work with intergovernmental regional organizations like the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) as a geo-strategy to give cover for neo-colonialist interests. As developments in Africa have reached a crucial point, it becomes more important to critically understanding the origin of ECOWAS and its current essential function.
Is US Imperialism Maneuvering Toward 'Humanitarian Intervention' In Burkina Faso?
Burkina Faso is attempting to move away from neo-colonial domination by France and the United States. The possibility of intervention via “humanitarian” channels is growing more likely. Western NGOs like Human Rights Watch (HRW) and Western state-funded news outlets such as the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and Voice of America (VOA) are not merely consistent in siding with imperialism. They are extensions of it.
Black Agenda Report
To the African masses at home and abroad, oppressed and tormented by the imperialists for centuries and yet steadfast in your struggle. We, the Coalition for the Elimination of Imperialism in Africa, urge you to stand strongly behind the Alliance of Sahel States which, at this moment in our history, represents the model for Pan-Africanism and therefore the path towards the total liberation and unification of Africa.
