In this episode of African News Review, Adesoji Iginla and Milton Allimadi discussed various news stories related to African countries.
They cover topics such as the Neocolonial railway boom in Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa's plans to turn South Africa into a construction site, and Total's involvement in Mozambique and Uganda.
The hosts provided critical analysis and highlight the need for African countries to prioritize industrialization and job creation.
They also discussed the importance of addressing the land issue and the role of Western media in shaping narratives about African countries. The conversation in this part focuses on the environmental impact of an oil project in Uganda's national parks and the political situation in Kenya. The oil project, led by French energy giant Total Energies, involves drilling over 400 oil wells in Uganda's largest national park, leading to displacement of over 120,000 people and severe environmental damage.
The conversation touched on the challenges faced by Kenyan President William Ruto, including protests against tax raising legislation and the possibility of facing charges at the International Criminal Court.
The conversation ended with a brief discussion on the recent political developments in the United States, including the rise of Vice President Kamala Harris as a potential presidential candidate.
