The African cities of Bata and Al-Hoceima were created during the Spanish colonial rule of Equatorial Guinea and Morocco. Spain's African Colonial Legacies: Morocco and Equatorial Guinea Compared (Brill, 2022) constructs their local history to analyse how Spanish colonialism worked, what its legacies were and the imprints it left on their national histories. The work explains the revision of collective memories of the past in the present as a form of decolonisation that seeks to build different foundations for the future in a transnational and glocal framework. The result is an exciting puzzle of individual and collective memories in which Africans contest their colonial cultural heritage and shape their identities at a global level.

Yahya Jammeh, Gambia's former leader, ruled the tiny West African country with an iron fist for 22 years after seizing power in a 1994 military coup. His regime was marked by widespread human rights abuses, including enforced disappearances, torture and extrajudicial killings. Despite being voted out in 2016 and soon exiled to Equatorial Guinea after refusing to accept the election results, his legacy continues to haunt Gambia as victims and their families wait for elusive justice and reparations. This audio documentary, "Portrait of Jammeh," sheds light on the long-lasting scars left by his dictatorship. The documentary takes listeners to Kanilai, Jammeh's hometown, where, despite his brutal legacy, many people still revere him. Survivors and families of victims recount chilling experiences, including mass executions carried out by Jammeh's notorious death squad, the Junglers.

In this episode, we're joined by Professor Jomo Kwame Sundaram, a Malaysian economist and thought leader who served as the Assistant Secretary-General for Economic Development at the United Nations (UN) and Assistant Director-General at the FAO. We explore how countries in the Global South can chart their own paths to prosperity.   What makes a country truly developed? Is it just GDP per capita or something deeper?   Professor Jomo challenges conventional economic dogma—unpacking flawed narratives around FDI, inflation, aid, and industrial policy. With sharp historical insight and grounded realism, he examines why only a few countries have truly made the leap from developing to developed, and what it takes for the rest to follow.   We dive deep into: • Why South Korea's path to development is so unique—and rarely replicated • The dangers of relying too heavily on foreign direct investment (FDI) • How resource-rich countries like Tanzania and Equatorial Guinea remain poor • The role of good governance—myth vs. reality • Industrial policy and protectionism in the modern age • The myth of the 2% inflation target and the origins of TFP calculations • Why we need whistleblowers in economics to fight mythology   Key Takeaways from the Episode: 1. GDP Isn't Everything: Professor Jomo argues that true development is about human capabilities—not just high income. Many mineral-rich countries show that high GDP doesn't guarantee a capable, prosperous society. 2. FDI Is Not a Magic Bullet: Countries like South Korea succeeded by limiting FDI and building domestic capacity. In contrast, over-reliance on foreign capital can lead to wealth extraction without long-term benefits. 3. Governance Indicators Are Circular: Metrics of good governance often reinforce existing biases, labeling developing countries as inherently poor-governed based on narrow criteria. 4. Aid Isn't Always Altruistic: While aid can help, it often serves political purposes and fails to address structural problems. Misguided advice—like telling Tanzania not to tax gold mining—has impoverished nations further. 5. The Power of Industrial Policy: From the U.S. post-Civil War to modern-day China, industrial policy has always driven real growth. The current revival of protectionism may reshape global trade dynamics. 6. The Myth of the 2% Inflation Target: Professor Jomo dismantles the origin story of the widely accepted 2% inflation target, tracing it back to a political slogan in New Zealand rather than any real economic justification. 7. Emerging Markets Must Think Contextually: There's no one-size-fits-all model for development. Local conditions, capabilities, and smart policymaking matter more than mimicking the West. 8. Technology's Role Is Complex: AI and machine learning have vast potential, but without equitable distribution, they may worsen inequality. True progress lies in how benefits are shared.   Join us for this unfiltered, eye-opening episode with Professor Jomo, where we challenge dominant development narratives and explore the real ingredients of economic transformation.   Follow our host on Linkedln to know more or subscribe to our emailing list to get new episodes directly into your inbox.   This conversation is part of the Emerging Market Innovation Series, brought to you in collaboration with Strategic Counsel, where we're also joined by Hafidzi Razali, Founder and CEO of Strategic Counsel.   Timestamps: (00:00) – Introduction to Professor Jomo and his global economic leadership (02:00) – What defines a developed country?

On Daybreak Africa: Ghana's Supreme Court has ruled that the parliamentary speaker's declaration of four seats as vacant was unconstitutional. The move effectively restored the ruling party's majority in the legislature ahead of the Dec. 7 election. Plus, Russia has reportedly deployed up to 200 military instructors to Equatorial Guinea.

A US-based human rights activist from Equatorial Guinea says the alleged Russian military presence in the country could undermine the US presence geopolitically and businesswise. Reuters News Agency quoted sources Tuesday as saying that Russia has deployed up to 200 military instructors to Equatorial Guinea in recent weeks to protect the presidency. This comes as Western influence in West and Central Africa is declining, and Russia's presence is increasing. Equatorial Guinea's 82-year-old leader Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo is the world's longest serving leader. Tutu Alicante, director of EG Justice, or Equatorial Guinea Justice, a North Carolina-based human rights organization that focuses exclusively on the country, tells VOA's James Butty, that there is some credibility to the reports

Join Tmt, Mayowa, and Koj for another episode of Submarine and A Roach, Nigeria's #1 comedy podcast, where real talk meets humor! In Episode 212: "Solar Inverters Are The New I-Pass-My-Neighbor," the guys dive into the latest trends and issues impacting life in Nigeria and beyond. Kicking off with a discussion on solar-powered inverters, the trio talks about how worsening power shortages and rising costs are driving Nigerians to seek alternatives—and how the humble inverter is becoming the new essential. They also dig into the concept of "Backing An Individual's Beef" vs. giving someone the benefit of the doubt and how sometimes it's better to talk friends off the ledge rather than dive headfirst into their conflicts. This leads to a broader conversation on the risks of vouching for people—and the fallout when unreliable folks don't hold up their end. Switching gears, the guys address the rise of redpill content, exploring why they think it's gaining traction as some men resist acknowledging shifting societal roles. The episode wraps up with a dive into recent global politics: Donald Trump's election victory in the U.S., Kemi Badenoch's political rise in the U.K., and a surprising scandal from Equatorial Guinea. Expect laughs, insights, and plenty of unfiltered commentary in this Submarine and A Roach episode! Tune in now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you get your podcasts.

Hundreds of sex tapes featuring Baltazar Ebang Engonga, the nephew of Equatorial Guinea's president, have flooded social media. Many of the women seen in the tapes are the wives and relatives of people close to the centre of power.The scandal has shone an unflattering spotlight on the central African country, which is sometimes called “The North Korea of Africa”. Its President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo has been in power for more than four decades and controls the majority of the country's radio and television outlets, which are heavily censored. Following the sex tape leak, “Equatorial Guinea” was the top trending term in Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa - even surpassing interest in the US election at times.BBC Monitoring journalist Ines Silva gives explains how the scandal unfolded.

Send us a textWhat happens when you mix politics, pop culture, and household debates into one spicy episode? Buckle up as we kick things off with an animated discussion on identity and public perception, where we don't shy away from tackling topics like the representation of Haitian culture and the impact of public figures like Kamala Harris and Cardi B. Things then take a lighter turn with a surprisingly engaging argument on the eternal question: just how often should you wash your jeans? The differing opinions on hygiene and practicality offer a humorous yet insightful glimpse into the dynamics of shared household responsibilities.As the dust settles from a major election upset, we dissect the surprising political landscape where Donald Trump emerged victorious with a sweeping red wave in the Senate. The curious case of low Democratic voter turnout is explored, raising questions about campaign strategies and the role of charisma and engagement in politics. We weigh in on celebrity endorsements—do they really influence the political scene, or are they just a flash in the pan? These reflections might just offer a forecast for the shifting winds in future elections.Shifting gears, we navigate the murky waters of scandals and societal issues, from public figures grappling with speaking challenges to jaw-dropping stories of financial officers in Equatorial Guinea. Young Thug and Gunna's post-incarceration journeys are put under the microscope, pondering their influence on the music industry and community change. We also touch on the intricate dance of co-parenting under public glare and the critique of content creators' responsibilities. With a dash of humor and a sprinkle of controversy, this episode serves up a hearty platter of discussions that promise to entertain and enlighten.

Spain's former African colonies-Equatorial Guinea and Western Sahara-share similar histories. Both are under the thumbs of heavy-handed, postcolonial regimes, and are known by human rights organizations as being among the worst places in the world with regard to oppression and lack of civil liberties. Yet the resistance movement in one is dominated by women, the other by men.  In Silenced Resistance: Women, Dictatorships, and Genderwashing in Western Sahara and Equatorial Guinea (U Wisconsin Press, 2029), Joanna Allan demonstrates why we should foreground gender as key for understanding both authoritarian power projection and resistance. She brings an ethnographic component to a subject that has often been looked at through the lens of literary studies to examine how concerns for equality and women's rights can be co-opted for authoritarian projects. She reveals how Moroccan and Equatoguinean regimes, in partnership with Western states and corporations, conjure a mirage of promoting equality while simultaneously undermining women's rights in a bid to cash in on oil, minerals, and other natural resources. This genderwashing, along with historical local, indigenous, and colonially imposed gender norms mixed with Western misconceptions about African and Arab gender roles, plays an integral role in determining the shape and composition of public resistance to authoritarian regimes.

Joining The Wild Life today is Dylan Beckham! She spent two years as a zookeeper caring for all sorts of exotics, including reptiles, invertebrates, fish, emus, wallabies, genets and Eurasian harvest mice. As a herpetology enthusiast, she was surprised to find it was the mice that stole her heart. This led to the development of her independent research project investigating their nesting behaviors in captivity, before ultimately leaving the zoo to pursue her passion for wildlife research. She managed to fit in an adventure to Canada, where she interned at a wildlife rehab facility, wrestled raccoons, and fell madly in love with a three-legged beaver! Now she's wading through nearly a hundred hours of harvest mouse data, while preparing to return to university for a top-up Bachelor's degree in September, where she'll be doing a research project on human-elephant conflict in Equatorial Guinea. Whether you're fascinated by the world of zookeeping, curious about the nuances of data collection, or passionate about conservation, this episode is for you.

We explore the story of Equatorial Guinea and its first post-independence leader, Francisco Macías Nguema. This small West African nation—the only Spanish-speaking country on the continent, is rich in oil but marred by a legacy of exploitation. From its colonial past as Spanish Guinea to Macías's rise to power, we uncover how he transformed from a court clerk into one of Africa's most brutal dictators.

“Why were they born in Europe? Their parents were escaping the economic realities of Africa. We need to work on ourselves. We need to work more as Africa in order to keep this talent here” – Brian Wesaala, Football Foundation for Africa In recent times, Barcelona star Lamine Yamal has been captivating football lovers around the world with his talent. He played a critical role when his national team, Spain, won this year's European Football Championship. But Morocco and Equatorial Guinea are now claiming the 17-year-old megastar. That's because his mother is originally from Equatorial Guinea while his father is from Morocco. So, today Mpho Lakaje sits down with Ntsako Mkhari, the anchor and reporter for South African TV news channel eNCA and Brian Wesaala, the founder and CEO of Football Foundation for Africa.He attempts to understand if African countries should claim players who were born in Europe.
