Africa Unchained: Reclaiming Power From Western Influence, Forging A New Future
Africa
Politics
Africa has experienced imbalances for more than a century, spanning economic perspectives, agriculture, education, innovation, technology, manufacturing, and politics. These challenges represent just a fraction of the factors contributing to Africa’s major problems.
The Role of Western Powers in Africa’s Challenges
Can the blame be placed on Western powers, whose retrogressive and backdoor policies have conflicted with African societies? These policies have long been seen as a source of exploitation and division across the continent.

A Shift in African Geopolitics
Over the past two years, Africa has witnessed a shift in geopolitics, with the continent fighting back and taking center stage in policy discussions. This change has been driven by young, bold leaders unafraid to call out injustices inflicted by Western powers.

Expelling Foreign Troops: Is it A Stand Against Exploitation?
To safeguard Africans from further exploitation, leaders like Colonel Assimi Goita, Mali’s President, have expelled French troops from their countries. Other nations, including Burkina Faso, Chad, Mauritania, and Niger, have followed suit by removing US forces. Western troops, often disguised as promoters of regional security, have been accused of exploiting Africa’s rich mineral resources.

Dubious Tactics and Mineral Exploitation
When unable to acquire minerals directly, Western powers have allegedly resorted to dubious tactics, such as orchestrating coups and installing leaders who align with their policies. This has further deepened Africa’s struggles.

The Shift Toward Eastern Alliances
Many African nations are now turning toward the East, where they feel more secure and valued. This shift has fueled the momentum of BRICS in Africa, as citizens urge their leaders to distance themselves from Western powers that have historically undermined the continent.

Africa’s Potential to Lead
Africa’s young population, full of vigor and ambition, positions the continent as a potential leader in global politics and economics. With the right leadership and policies, Africa can reshape its narrative and take its rightful place on the world stage.
