Analysing The Alliance of Sahel States- Pan African Praxis Beyond Traoré
Manage episode 509451664 series 2882904
The Alliance of the Sahel states has sent shock waves through the western world, raising the possiblity of anti-imperialist Pan-African block. While this movement has exploded online through the focus on the charismatic Burkino Faso leader
Ibrahim Traoré, in this episode we seek to engage what is happening in the Sahel beyond just him. In this interview between LBS’s Dayvon Love and Lawrence Grandpre, we discuss the history of the Sahel and how these states rose up and joined in alliance in the face of the failures of Western troops to ensure security, in addition to anger at Western economic domination. We look at how the focus on Traore has obscured the important work happening in Niger and Mali. Finally, we focus on how Pan-Afrikanist in the west must materially support concrete Pan-Afrikan state building functions like water and energy and not get stuck in romantic hero worship of Traoré.
