Patrice Lumumba: Congo’s Revolutionary Martyr

Saison 8 · Épisode 10

mardi 19 mars 2024 • Durée 34:29

Patrice Lumumba was a distinguished Pan-African politician who served as the first Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) after the country gained independence. Lumumba was well-connected in both professional and social circles; however, as he became more politically active and vocal, calling for an end to Belgium's rule and advocating for the DRC's independence, he became a target of both the Belgian and US governments. *Trigger warning* there is a graphic depiction of death at the 29 minute mark.

From Nigeria to Morocco: The Making of No U-Turn

Saison 8 · Épisode 6

mercredi 27 décembre 2023 • Durée 43:23

We're joined by Ike Nnaebue, a celebrated filmmaker and cultural entrepreneur based in Nigeria. We discuss his documentary No U-Turn, a personal journey through a popular migration route from Lagos, Nigeria to Tangier, Morocco with the aims of reaching European shores. Together, we explore the themes of hope and shame, challenges faced — and the notion that in order for Africa to make space for African dreams, European migration policy needs a reckoning with history.

Queen Nanny of the Maroons

Saison 8 · Épisode 5

mardi 5 décembre 2023 • Durée 15:57

Queen Nanny, also known as Nanny of the Maroons, is Jamaica's only female national hero. This episode delves into the struggles and triumphs of the Maroons - enslaved people who gained freedom and formed their own communities. The British faced significant losses due to Maroon resistance, as Queen Nanny's strategic brilliance and leadership led to the freedom of over 1,000 enslaved individuals. The narrative takes an intriguing turn with peace treaties signed in 1739-1740, which granted the Maroons their freedom but transformed them into 'mountain police.' Queen Nanny's legacy is a symbol of strength, resistance, and the fight for freedom. Follow us on IG: itsacontinentpod and Twitter: itsacontinent.

Diamonds Unveiled: Who owns Botswana?

Saison 8 · Épisode 4

mardi 21 novembre 2023 • Durée 26:56

Botswana was one of the world’s poorest countries at independence – highly dependent on their former coloniser and beef exports. In 1967, De Beers geologists found diamond bearing deposits, changing Botswana's trajectory. The nation had the fastest growing economy in the developing world for over 40 years. Some see Botswana’s story as that of success, as they reversed the “resource curse.” But is Botswana and De Beers' partnership truly equal?
