Yinka Adegoke, editor of Semafor Africa, joined Into Africa to discuss the rapidly changing media landscape across the continent. While African media has a long history, dating back to the pre-independence era, it has traditionally been focused on national issues rather than Pan-African topics. As a result, many Africans rely on foreign news sources to stay informed about neighboring countries, reinforcing external narratives that often shape perceptions of the continent through a foreign lens. The rise of social media and Pan-African media outlets has increased global awareness of the reality on the continent. Beyond the media, Africa's global narrative is being reshaped through its pop culture, technology, and business sectors. This conversation highlights the transformative forces driving Africa's evolving story, offering a fresh perspective on its growing influence on the world stage.

In this episode, we explore President Joe Biden's historic visit to Angola, his first and only trip to Africa during his presidency. As the first U.S. president to step foot in Angola, Biden brings an agenda aimed at strengthening economic ties and countering China's growing influence in the region. At the centre of his efforts is the multibillion-dollar Lobito Corridor project, a revitalisation of a century-old railway linking the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zambia to Angola's Atlantic port. But as the U.S. prepares to transition to Donald Trump's presidency, uncertainty lingers over the future of Biden's Africa focused initiatives. Will Trump's administration continue this engagement, or will it mark a departure in U.S- Africa relations? Africa Daily's Alan Kasujja spoke to Angolan political analyst Claudio De Silva and Yinka Adegoke - the Africa Editor for the news platform Semafor.
America heads to the polls this year. Would Trump be a better US president for Africa than Biden? Is the US ready to invest in Africa rather than just giving us aid? And what can we expect from a presidential candidate who memorably referred to a variety of African nations as “shithole countries”? Yinka Adegoke has been writing about tech and business across the continent for decades. He's currently editor of the media platform Semafor Africa. We discuss what Trump would mean for Africa.

I know because my fascist government that sends its CIA to destabilize other countries it criticizes for not being democracies in bloody coups that kill millions of innocents all over the world while waging genocide against Black people for over 3 centuries while begging me to send $3 to a white cis man in order to save the country from another white cis man told me so...even though we don't have a direct election method and I actually vote for another random person in my state to vote for me--not the president.

There've been major developments over the past week in the African debt crisis. It appears that Angola and China reached a consensus on how to restructure the estimated $20 billion of loans that Luanda owes Beijing. This deal then paved the way for the IMF to come in with its own financial package for Angola. Meantime, Zambia announced that it will default on three Eurobond notes totaling around $3 billion, prompting an immediate downgrade of its credit rating.Finally, it appears that Kenya's embattled standard gauge railway (SGR) is reaching a breaking point. Kenya Railways is losing almost ten million dollars a month and it looks increasingly likely that the company will not be able to repay the Chinese creditors who financed and built the SGR.Yinka Adegoke, Africa editor of the online financial news site Quartz, is closely following the unfolding debt crisis in Africa and China's role in the situation. He joins Eric & Cobus from the Quartz newsroom in New York to discuss the financial crisis and how it's impacting the broader China-Africa relationship.SHOW NOTES:Join Yinka and Eric on October 8th from 9:30am-10:30am EST for a free Quartz online conference: "What China's Influence in Africa Means for the Global Economy."More information here.RSVP here.JOIN THE DISCUSSION:Facebook: www.facebook.com/ChinaAfricaProject Twitter: @eolander | @stadenesque | @yinkawritesSUBSCRIBE TO THE CAP'S DAILY EMAIL NEWSLETTER FOR JUST $3 FOR 3 MONTHS.Your subscription supports independent journalism.
