💱 Africa Joins China’s Push to End Dollar Dominance
The global balance of financial power is shifting—and Africa is right at the heart of it. By joining China’s Cross-border Interbank Payment System (CIPS), 53 African nations can now settle trade directly in yuan, bypassing the U.S. dollar and Western clearing banks. This move not only shields economies from dollar volatility and sanctions but also gives Africa new leverage in global trade. The question is no longer if the dollar’s dominance will fade, but how Africa will shape the next era of global finance.

This movement reflects Africa’s rise as a leader in sustainable development, clean energy innovation, and climate-conscious economic empowerment.

Kenya’s Fight for Democracy: From Saba Saba to Police Brutality in 2025
As Kenya marks Saba Saba Day, the echoes of 1990’s pro-democracy protests resound in today’s streets. From the Finance Bill uprising to the tragic death of Albert Ojwang, citizens are once again demanding justice, police accountability, and an end to state violence. With over 500 police killings since 2019 and a conviction rate below 1%, Kenya’s democratic struggle remains urgent and unfinished.

Juneteenth is not only a pivotal moment in African American history, but a global milestone in African liberation.

Since its revival in 2000, the East African Community (EAC) has expanded into a formidable economic bloc, now comprising eight nations. The addition of Rwanda, Burundi, South Sudan, DRC, and Somalia has transformed the region, representing a population of 343 million and a $350 billion GDP. The bloc’s integration pillars—Customs Union, Common Market, Monetary Union, and Political Federation—set a foundation for deeper economic and political collaboration.

However, mounting regional conflicts threaten stability. The M23-led violence in the DRC, South Sudan’s military escalations, and Burundi’s disengagement signal growing instability. Meanwhile, financial struggles are strangling EAC operations, with $75 million in unpaid contributions, primarily from DRC ($20M), Burundi ($17M), and South Sudan ($15.6M). As disengagement deepens, experts fear a repeat of the EAC’s 1977 collapse.

Can East Africa's leaders restore trust, ensure security, and prevent another disintegration? The answer will define the bloc’s future.

Happy Africa Day to all ! Join us as we embark on a journey to reveal the true meaning of our wealth !
