The Spearhead is proud to present its debut feature length documentary, which tears apart the popular media narrative surrounding Tanzania's October 29, 2025 election, and lifts the veil to reveal the true masterminds behind the deadly chaos during and after the election.
Russia-Africa Summit: Russia Becomes First International Partner Of AES Confederal Bank, BCID-AES
On October 28, on the sidelines of the 2026 Russia-Africa Summit, Burkinabé Prime Minister Rimtalba Jean Emmanuel Ouédraogo signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on behalf of his country with Russia’s state-owned development company VEB.RF. This MoU will, among other things, link the Confederal Bank for Investment and Development of the Alliance of Sahel States (BCID-AES) to Russia’s international payment system, which happens to operate outside of Western control.
In this report for The Spearhead, @barrahart sheds light on the very exciting implications of this new deal, both for the AES and the rest of Africa.
US Places 11 African Countries On 'Do Not Travel' Advisory List, While Actively Destabilizing Most Of Them
In that classic hypocrisy that we have all come to expect from the “greatest nation on Earth”, the US State Department has placed 11 African countries on its highest-level ‘Do Not Travel’ advisory list, even as the US is actively destabilizing and attempting to destroy most of these countries.
Because… of course.
AES Advances Towards Healthcare Sovereignty
The absence of critical healthcare infrastructure has forced many Africans to seek specialised treatment abroad. But across the AES, the revolutionary leaders are investing in medical facilities, developing local expertise and expanding the capacity to perform complex procedures at home.
From Mali to Burkina Faso and N*ger, these developments point to a bigger ambition: achieving healthcare sovereignty and building systems capable of meeting the needs of their own populations.
African Media's Great Betrayal Of Africa
Do you know that there is a difference between 'African media' and 'African-based media'? In this report, senior reporter @Big_Mck explores how the vast majority of reporters, journalists, and media platforms on the continent are trained, funded and conditioned to deliver output that does not serve the interests of their African audiences.
Mckay analyses how this came to be, what subversive entities are behind the large scale foreign information manipulation and interference (FIMI) effort against Africa, and what you as an ordinary everyday African news consumer can do about it.
Mali & Russia Sign 4-Year Cooperation Deal In Transport Sector
Mali is set to become a hub in an emerging Russia-Africa transportation corridor, thanks to a new cooperation agreement signed between Bamako and Moscow in the wake of the 2026 Russia-Africa Summit.
This new deal will boost Mali’s transportation sector and economy, and stands as one of the latest testaments to Russia’s continued solidarity with Africa’s, on the continent’s path to sovereign development.
Russia-Africa Summit Vs France-Africa Summit: Compare And Contrast
Delegations from 48 of Africa's 55 countries were present in Moscow at the recent Russia-Africa Summit where multiple infrastructure, energy, defence and economic cooperation deals were signed to further dependent Africa's relationship with the world's foremost nuclear power and 8th largest economy.
In this analysis, senior reporter Mckay Chukwu highlights and compares the stark difference in purpose, engagement, and meaningful results recorded at this summit in contrast with those recorded at France's so-called "Africa Forward" summit in Nairobi, Kenya in May 2026.
Ghana Signs $28 Billion Agreement to Expand Petroleum Hub
Ghana has entered a landmark $28 billion agreement with a Global Sphere-led consortium to construct a major petroleum hub in Jomoro, Western Region. Featuring a 300,000-barrel-per-day refinery, petrochemical plants, and key storage infrastructure, the initiative will position Ghana as a primary regional energy processing and trading hub while creating substantial employment and industrial growth opportunities.
Tanzania’s Western-Backed “Opposition” Leader Found Guilty Of Inciting Treason
A Tanzanian High Court has convicted Western-backed "opposition" leader, Tundu Lissu, of inciting treason. Lissu leads the CHADEMA party, which carried out a failed regime change operation against the current Tanzanian government on October 29, 2025. He is also a member of the Germany-based, right-wing NGO, the International Democracy Union (IDU).
On October 1, 2026, the European Parliament nominated Lissu for the 2026 “Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought”. Described as the “highest tribute paid by the European Union to human rights work”, the award is effectively a pat on the back for those in the Global South who serve Western political interests.
The nomination, as well as the sustained Western media slander campaign against Tanzania amid its deepening strategic ties with China and Russia, offer a chilling insight into the external forces behind the East African country’s “opposition” movement.
In its debut documentary, ‘What Happened On October 29?’, The Spearhead sheds an investigative light on these nefarious external forces and their local pawns. You can watch the documentary on our YouTube channel.
UN Ends 3-Decade Political Mission In Somalia
2 years after a formal request was made by the Somali government, the United Nations (UN) is ending its 31-year mission in the East African country – a mission which did little to actually improve the lives of Somalis.
For Somalia, the termination of this mission marks another step towards true sovereignty, even as the country continues to live under sanctions imposed on it by one of the UN’s founding and most powerful members.
Kwame Ture: You’ve Got to Know Africans to Fight for Us
Kwame Ture (1941-98), co-founder of the All-African People's Revolutionary Party (@AAPRP ), tells an audience of students at Cheyney University that it's impossible to struggle for African liberation without knowing everything about what led to our people's condition.
What gaps do you see in your knowledge about Africans?

Angola & Tanzania Circumvent Western-Backed Railway with China’s Help
On October 28, 2026, Angolan President João Lourenço was warmly received by his Tanzanian counterpart Samia Suluhu Hassan. During this working visit, President Hassan announced that her country would be cooperating with Angola to connect their ocean ports by rail, with support from China. The move is part of a wider, China-backed effort to link Africa, via the Indian Ocean, to Asia and its win-win trade opportunities.
Compare this to the US and EU-funded Lobito Corridor, which links Angola, the DRC and Zambia to the Atlantic Ocean, cutting through 1,300km of rainforest and carefully avoiding any major population centres along the way, as it carts African resources off to the West.

The Burkina Faso Lesson: Productive Economies Are Revolutionary Hotbeds
Dr. Wandia Njoya (@wmnjoya), associate professor at Kenya's Daystar University, unpacks the reasons a revolution cannot take place in a consumer economy like Kenya's.
What needs to happen for such African countries to move the needle toward revolution?

Tulsa Race Mass*cre: When Jealous White Americans Destroyed 'Black Wall Street'
Did you know that in 1921, the local government of an American county armed its white citizens to raze a thriving, peaceful black community to the ground and m*rder hundreds of its residents?
And did you know that it took 76 years for the US to even acknowledge that this atrocity happened at all?
In this report for The Spearhead, @okorieuche_ sheds light on the Tulsa Race M*ssacre.
