AFRICA’S FORGOTTEN HEROES: THE LEADERS FRANCE AND BRITAIN SILENCED By The Afrisocrat Correspondent They dreamed of freedom. They fought for sovereignty. They envisioned a united Africa. But colonial powers could not allow them to succeed. Across Africa, the story of independence is told as a triumph, yet hidden behind the pages of history are the silenced voices of leaders who dared to challenge France and Britain’s grip on the continent. These were not ordinary politicians; they were visionaries who understood that “flag independence” meant little without economic liberation, cultural pride, and true sovereignty. The Assassination of Hope From the late 1950s to the 1970s, Africa witnessed a wave of mysterious deaths, coups, and imprisonments—all linked to Western interference. France and Britain systematically removed those who threatened their neo-colonial project. Patrice Lumumba (Congo, 1961): Congo’s first prime minister, who sought to reclaim the country’s vast resources fo...

AFRISOCRACY VS. DEMOCRACY: WHY AFRICA NEEDS ITS OWN SYSTEM OF GOVERNANCE Introduction For more than six decades, Africa has been trapped in a borrowed political system—Western democracy. Imported during colonial rule and imposed after independence, this model has failed to deliver justice, development, or liberation for African people. Instead, it has produced weak institutions, puppet leaders, and endless cycles of corruption and poverty. It is time to ask a bold question: Does Africa truly need democracy—or does Africa need Afrisocracy? Democracy: A Foreign Cage Democracy in Africa has been reduced to empty rituals—ballot papers, multi-party elections, and promises of “freedom” that never materialize. In reality: It empowers corrupt elites who serve foreign powers, not their people. It sustains neo-colonialism, where Western governments control African economies and policies through aid, debt, and manipulation. It divides nations along tribal and regional lines, breeding conflict rat...

WHY PAUL BIYA’S 8TH TERM IS A FRENCH PROJECT, NOT A CAMEROONIAN CHOICE Introduction Cameroon stands at a historic crossroads. After more than four decades in power, President Paul Biya’s pursuit of an eighth term has provoked outrage, skepticism, and despair among many Cameroonians. Yet, beneath the surface, this longevity in office is not simply the result of domestic politics or popular will. It is, above all, a French project—engineered, sustained, and imposed by France to maintain its neo-colonial grip on Cameroon. The Weight of French Interests in Cameroon France has never hidden its deep economic, political, and military interests in Cameroon. From oil and gas in the Bakassi Peninsula to timber, cocoa, and infrastructure contracts, French companies dominate key sectors of the economy. To safeguard these interests, Paris has consistently backed regimes that guarantee continuity rather than change. Paul Biya’s government has offered France exactly that—predictability and compliance...

IBRAHIM TRAORÉ AND THE OLD COLONIAL TRICK: HOW THE WEST DESTROYS LIBERATORS Throughout history, oppressors have perfected one simple method to eliminate liberators: “paint the dog black before killing it.” From Ruben Um Nyobé and Ernest Ouandié in Cameroon, to Thomas Sankara in Burkina Faso, Patrice Lumumba in Congo, Muammar Gaddafi in Libya, Saddam Hussein in Iraq, Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X in the USA, and even Nelson Mandela before the world later embraced him, the playbook never changes. The West first brands them criminals, dictators, terrorists, or threats to stability. Then the media takes over, the people are deceived, and when the assassin’s bullet comes, the masses cheer. Today, the same script is being written against Captain Ibrahim Traoré of Burkina Faso. Young, fearless, and unapologetically Pan-African, he has become the most loved African president in the world, the nightmare of Western powers, and the inspiration of millions. Yet the West already paints him a...
