We didn't inherit an institution. We inherited a mandate โ the audacity of an ordinary person deciding their community deserves better, and doing something about it.

The Africa-China relationship is one of the most consequential โ and most misrepresented stories in contemporary geopolitics.
Here are six books that get past the noise with solid historical and political analysis

For most of modern history, Africa has been studied. Its politics analysed by outsiders, crises diagnosed by institutions elsewhere.
The result: vast knowledge on Africa โ produced without Africa, for audiences that aren't African. That has to change!

Sub-Saharan Africa: 88 researchers per million people
Europe & North America: 4,358
That is not a gap. That is a policy decision, sustained across generations.
The School of Pan African Studies exists to reverse it

Africa is 16% of humanity.
โจIt produces less than 3% of the world's research.

The School of Pan African Studies exists to close it โ from the inside.

Is this the answer to the ICC? African justice built from within?
The Malabo Protocol. Adopted in 2014 in Equatorial Guineaโs capital, it was Africaโs boldest answer to the ICC critique: a continental criminal court, built by African states.
#AfricanJustice #ICC
If the cognitive empire is the disease, epistemic freedom is the cure.
Not the right to disagree inside someone else's framework โ the right to build your own. To think and theorise using categories drawn from your own history and culture.

The AU serves 55 countries with just 1,720 staff. The EU serves 27 with 32,000.
The demand for qualified Pan-African analysts has never been greater.
We're fixing that pipeline.

Sankara said it in 1987. "Debt is a cleverly managed reconquest of Africa."
The numbers in 2026 prove it.
$163 billion. That is Africa's annual debt service payment โ more than doubled since 2010

Isolation theory: apartheid's exclusion left South Africa unprepared for the continent it rejoined in 1994.
Scapegoating theory: unemployment found its outlet in the African foreigner.
Different premise, same target

#PanAfricanism #xenophobia
South Africaโs xenophobia debate is built on myths. The data tells a different, more structural story.
Weโve broken down the numbers on population, jobs, crime, and land to expose whatโs really driving inequality in South Africa. ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐

Did Accra just do something historic?
Three global panels established - Advisory, Cultural Restitution, and a Legal Panel for Reparatory Justice.
The โNext Steps" Conference on Reparations - empty speeches or a springboard for justice?
