  6. If you have been listening to Suella Braverman and think Britain has gone bonkers, let me explain | Nels Abbey

  7. Tinubu, the Sahel and Nigeria’s Most Dangerous Foreign Policy Failure

    There was a time when Nigeria did not wait for foreign capitals to define West African security. From the anti-apartheid struggle in Southern Africa to military interventions in Liberia and Sierra Leone, Nigeria projected power, influence and diplomatic leadership. Whether one agreed with its methods or not, nobody doubted who was leading.

  10. The Tariff Trap: How Africa Was Turned Into a Warehouse for Raw Materials by Lawson Akhigbe

    Long before many African nations even gained independence, an international economic architecture had already been designed to ensure Africa remained primarily a supplier of raw materials while Europe and other industrial powers controlled manufacturing, branding, finance and ultimately the profits.

  15. “In her magisterial book The Great Partition, Yasmin Khan offers a sobering conclusion: The Partition of 1947 is also a loud reminder, should we care to listen, of the dangers of colonial interventions and the profound difficulties that dog regime change. It stands testament to the follies of empire, which ruptures community evolution, distorts historical trajectories and forces violent state formation from societies that would otherwise have taken different—and unknowable—paths. Partition is a lasting lesson of both the dangers of imperial hubris and the reactions of extreme nationalism. For better or worse, two nations continue to live alongside each other in South Asia and continue to live with these legacies.”
    ―Caroline Elkins, "Legacy of Violence: A History of the British Empire"
