Pan-African Attitude Ep 16 | Why are the Far-Right on the Loose in the UK?
The UK is in crisis right now, with Black and Brown people attacked on the street, hotels housing asylum seekers set alight and attacked, Muslim women being attacked with acid and even graves of Muslims being attacked by mobs of the far-right. Oh, and we forgot to mention a small child on the streets of Belfast in the Occupied North of Ireland is heard shouting “P*kis out” “P*kis out” as she walks down the street while the mother of the child smiles. How did this happen? How did the UK turn into a place of programs against ethnic minorities? We break this all down with legendary hip-hop rapper and journalist @lowkey.
Pan-African Attitude Ep. 15 | Venezuelan Elections: Stolen Or Won Fairly?
Venezuela has long been subject to foreign interference and meddling in its political process ever since socialist president Hugo Chavez came to power on 2 February 1999. There have been several coups, one in 2002 against Hugo Chavez and one in 2019 against the incumbent president Nicolas Maduro. Maduro's supporters argue that this is also happening again today, with U.S.-backed opposition forces refusing to recognise the results of the elections and trying to overthrow Maurdo's government and replace it with opposition leader Edmundo González. Opposition supporters argue that the election was stolen and that Maduro is holding on to power illegally, with the U.S. government agreeing with this position and recognising Edmundo González Urrutia as the winner of Venezuela's presidential election and, therefore, the country's new president. On today's episode of Pan-African Attitude, we break all this down with two guests who were recently in Venezuela to observe the elections and another Venezuelan guest who lives in Venezuela.

Pan-African Attitude Ep 13 | Mainstream Fake News Fiasco Debunked with Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal
Join African Stream’s discussion with investigative reporter Max Blumenthal on the power and scourge of misinformation in the mainstream media. He’s been smeared by major outlets over his coverage of the October 7th attacks against Israelis, while we’ve faced unfounded claims of peddling falsehoods by NBC. It referenced an Onyx Impact report that doesn’t even mention African Stream in its executive summary released to the public. We dive into the malicious world of mass media which has pushed so much misinformation that public trust in it has sunk to all time lows. Don’t miss it.
Pan-African Attitude Episode 12 | Root Causes of Sudan Crisis
For this episode, we will examine the war in Sudan—what many call a proxy war—and how we got into this mess. Sudan is facing horror “beyond imagination” 25.6 million people are projected to face acute food insecurity or worse. But according to, the outgoing UN aid chief, Martin Griffiths, 750,000 people are under imminent threat of famine and with conditions in danger of worsening even further. That, on top of thousands of people killed. Conservative estimates say the conflict has killed at least 15,500 people, while some estimates are as high as 150,000 and counting. We are joined by a special guest today to help us understand how we got into this message. Dr. Juma Kunda is a professor of peace and development and a dedicated Pan-Africanist activist known for his significant involvement in the peace process in Sudan.
