ATTACKS ON AFRICAN STREAM EXPLAINED

Last year, agents of imperialism accused African Stream, an independent Pan-Africanist news outlet, of being 'secretly funded’ by Russia.

The attacks, beginning with false reports by NBC News and Voice of America, reached their apex in September 2024, when then-US Secretary of State Antony Blinken claimed we were a platform for 'Kremlin propagandists.'

Despite our accusers' lack of evidence, social media platforms, such as Alphabet (parent company of YouTube and Google), Meta (parent company of Facebook, Instagram and Threads), and TikTok suspended or permanently banned us.

Unfortunately, 2025 has kicked off with the British Foreign Office’s ploy to run a smear campaign against us using pliable African journalists and media outlets.

As the year progresses, we can only expect to see more such campaigns, as our work has ruffled the feathers of those who, for centuries, have been exploiting Africa and, therefore, see our Pan-African and anti-imperialist reporting as a threat to the status quo.

In this clip, renowned Nigerian investigative journalist David Hundeyin (@davidhundeyin), who Western imperialists have also tried to smear, explains why Pan-African-centred reporting unsettles imperialist forces.
