Comrades & Friends, As we honour the anniversary & enduring legacy of Captain Thomas Sankara, his vision of anti-imperialism & self-reliance reverberates across Africa today. From Burkina Faso’s bold moves to reclaim its education system to Mali’s territorial triumphs & the structural struggles underlying the DRC’s Ebola health crises, the battle for total liberation continues on every front. We encourage comrades to tune in to this week’s episode of Afrika Speaks, where we examine food sovereignty & confront the forces controlling our food systems—because, as Sankara taught us, he who feeds you controls you.
