Debt trap diplomacy

In this episode of “Lumumba’s Africa,” Professor PLO Lumumba argues that African economies have historically relied on and been dominated by Western institutions. He emphasizes that this dependency has persisted over time, shaping the continent’s economic trajectory. According to Professor, the current global shift presents an opportunity for Africa to break free from this longstanding influence. He highlights the BRICS alliance as a promising alternative, offering African nations a pathway to greater economic independence and a chance to redefine their role in the global economic order. Stay tuned as Professor Lumumba shares his profound insights on this critically significant topic.

Lumumba’s Africa focuses on the past and current issues affecting the African continent; Filmed amidst the beautiful landscapes of Kenya and hosted by Professor P.L.O. Lumumba, the show looks at the many dichotomies of Africa: why are some of the economies thriving while others stall; why conflicts emerge and refuse to die down, and why despite colonialism being ‘gone’, it still ruins the prosperity of nations.
