The Proximate Aspect with Amzat Boukari-Yabara
In this episode of The Proximate Aspect, Zeinab Al Saffar sits down with historian and African activist Amzat Boukari-Yabara to dissect the complex web of neocolonial control gripping Africa today. From military bases to financial dependence, Africa continues to wrestle with a modern form of colonization, one fought not only with weapons, but with loans, trade deals, and cultural erasure. France clings to its economic influence, "Israel" expands its reach through security plans and technology that infiltrates the continent, while the United States anchors its dominance with NATO. Boukari-Yabara sheds light on who truly pulls the strings of Africa’s future and how Africa is at the center of the anti-imperialist struggle today.
