Utsa Patnaik and Prabhat Patnaik's book on national sovereignty: “Capital and Imperialism, Theory, History, and the Present” (2021) deserves to be widely read as an inspiration to the peoples of the Global South and progressives in the Global North. africainterest.org/defending…

Madowo’s attempts to tarnish the reputation of Ethiopian Airlines follow a well-coordinated & richly-financed effort to undermine Ethiopian Airlines’ standing in the global market to preserve the exploitative dominance of non-African airlines africainterest.org/blackmail…

From a geostrategic perspective, Ethiopia's interest in sea access, particularly in Berbera, makes sense. Among the three ports in region, Berbera is closest to Ethiopia and can open up the vast, albeit isolated eastern region of Ethiopia to trade. africainterest.org/addis-aba…

Korybko’s insinuation that ownership of the Eritrean port is negotiable and that Ethiopia’s claims to it, are consistent with international law, really leaves one wondering which rubbish pit Ethiopian pay masters picked this academic fool from. africainterest.org/andrew-ko…

Reisen rejected Eritrea's Independence in 1992, denounced President Isaias as an ‘autocrat,’ called Eritrea an ‘open-air prison,’ and christened it ‘North Korea of Africa’ in 2011- lies that became her axis for research fabrications against Eritrea africainterest.org/hating-er…

When future historians review the year 2023 and recount the betrayals that nearly derailed Africa’s resurgent struggle against neocolonialism, the titles of the critical chapters will have to be “Tinubu”, “Ruto” and “Ouattara” in that order. africainterest.org/alassane-…

Redi’s disingenuous emotion, awkward gestures, and fidgeting with her handset immediately made it evident that this walkie-talkie puppet was merely transmitting someone else’s talking points in real time. africainterest.org/redi-thla…

We must make it abundantly clear to Ruto that his planned Haiti Intervention contradicts the collective aspirations of the African people, and that we won't let his duplicity, hypocrisy, and puppetry proceed under the banner of Pan-Africanism. africainterest.org/haiti-int…

What makes Ruto particularly dangerous, and all the more reason why we must expose the true face behind the various masks and camouflages of his traitorous imposture, is his adept ability to cater to the gallery of pan-African sentiment.africainterest.org/pan-afric…

Whether other African countries emulate Eritrea or not is their decision. But the words of Babu, the Zanzibari Revolutionary, echoed by Adesina about Eritrea—’I have seen the future of Africa – and it works’—will continue to testify to the Eritrean Model. africainterest.org/african-n…

Ethiopians have every reason to celebrate last year's achievements and anticipate the new year, but they must remember that these accomplishments came through hard-fought battles and sacrifices. The challenges of this new year demand similar dedication. africainterest.org/ethiopia-…

Yesterday's meeting between Sudan's al-Burhan and President Isaias, if looked at from a broader perspective, can be located within the context of Eritrea's expanding role as a stabilizing force and a guarantor of peace and stability in the region. africainterest.org/peace-in-…

PAN AFRICANISM IS NOT A THEORY

The two, Plaut and Reinsen, have since taken the lead in their respective academic and media roles, spearheading the renewed offensive to vilify the Eritrean President, harm Eritrean communities in the diaspora, and attack the essence of Eritrean identity africainterest.org/diaspora-…

As we wait for Niger Police to evict the Recalcitrant French Ambassador who defied last week's deadline to leave, today is another deadline for French Troops to leave. But will they leave, or will the defy? How should Niger respond? What are the options? africainterest.org/niger-wha…

The enduring presence of AFRICOM not only symbolizes the lack of unity and sovereignty; it also equally enforces the fragmentation and subordination of the African people and governments. africainterest.org/the-truth…
