ALKEBULAN with The Merc

Alkebulanians,

I won’t say too much about this episode but it covers my efforts to preserve and save our history and the fact that if this initative fails and no one does this, our history dies with us. Simply watch and give your thoughts and the support button is below.

It was a sobering week for sure and I never thought a streamer such as iShowSpeed and a former U.S. president’s movie company would be the source of one of the biggest embarrassments to Africans and Africa.

By these black Amer...

Alkebulanians,

I break down Burkina Faso’s rollout of digital ID, Captain Traoré’s role in the process, the World Bank’s involvement, Chinese hardware, biometric data, and what digital identity could mean for sovereignty across the Sahel.

Alkebulanians,

I break down why the Nolan Wells case out of Mississippi belongs to every African, not filed away as an American story.

An 18 year old goes on a Fourth of July boat trip with friends, turns up dead, and what follows is a jurisprudence disaster: a sealed autopsy, a body returned without throat and neck structures, a sheriff declaring no foul play within days, alleged friends lawyered up inside 48 hours, and a Give Send Go raising six figures for themselves while people question why the Wells family raises anything at all.

Alkebulanians,

I break down the Western Sahara conflict through the story of a 50-year-old African colony, the Sahrawi people, Morocco, Algeria, and the borders created through colonial rule.

I trace the Green March, Spain’s withdrawal, the failed 1991 referendum, the Berm and its landmines, and the growing international recognition of Morocco’s claim. Then I look at Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, Dakhla, Sahrawi filmmakers, and the fight over who gets to tell stories on contested African land. What does sovereignty mean when history, borders and self-determination collide?

I break down four major stories shaking the continent right now.

Ghana and Ivory Coast control 60% of the world’s cocoa, yet their farmers are starving while $487 million worth of cocoa rots unsold in Ivory Coast’s ports, and multinational chocolate companies are quietly swapping in substitute ingredients rather than pay African prices.

Alkebulanians,

South African artist Tyla had her Lagos concert cancelled and the reason goes deeper than bad PR. Operation Dudula set a June 30th deadline pushing migrants, primarily Nigerians, out of South Africa. One month later, Tyla’s team announced a Lagos concert date. The blowback was instant. Nigerians online were already warning her not to come. The concert was pulled before it started.

The largest humanitarian crisis on the planet right now isn’t where you think it is.

Here are the two videos I made on this topic that I urge you to watch:

The RSF. The foreign money keeping them armed. The Gulf state quietly funding the slaughter. And the strangest twist of all, why the US-Iran standoff may have accidentally bought Sudan a few weeks of breathing room.

Another epic 2 HR show. We covered a lot in this one.

An absolute firestorm is brewing in Central Africa, and the mainstream narrative is completely hiding the real context. In this late-night nightcap broadcast, I discuss the sudden, highly suspicious resurgence of the Ebola virus (the rare Bundibugio strain) in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s conflict zones.

Why is a disease dormant for over a decade magically reappearing in the exact regions central to Western mineral survival right now?

For 60 years, one of the world’s largest oil producers couldn’t refine its own fuel.

Export the crude. Import the petrol. Pay the markup. Stand in line for the shortage.

That just ended.

You’d think the world would celebrate. Instead the World Bank and IMF are panicking and the sabotage has already started.

We analyse the “Sunday Show” breakdown of the DCI Group contract, exploring how African nations are coerced into paying “protection money” to the West.

Joined by Brazilian YCV, we discuss the historical “whitening” of Argentina, why relying on corrupt institutions like FIFA to punish racist clubs is a joke, and why building an independent, million-strong network is our only viable path to true geopolitical and econom...

I analyse the United Nations’ insulting offer of a permanent Security Council seat for Africa without veto power, viewing it as a desperate move to counter the continent’s shift toward BRICS. I also contrast the US strategy of imposing tariffs on African goods with China’s zero-tariff offer, arguing that Africa must prioritise economic partnerships that allow us to industrialise rather than chase symbolic political seats.

Captain Traore and the Sahel President’s Safety

SUMMARY

After the recent coup attempt on Captain Traore of Burkina Faso, I had a thought.

Who are his real friends?

He faces an unprecedented threat level in Burkina Faso, with unofficial reports suggesting up to 22 assassination attempts in just three years, prompting my belief the President of the Sahel needs to be more afraid of his "friends" than his enemies.
