À propos de cette écoute
While headlines focus on tariff wars, Trump-Musk social media feuds, or Rwanda-DRC peace agreements, Africa’s real battles unfold in places the global press rarely lingers. In this episode, we challenge conventional narratives about Africa’s development, shifting the lens from colonial powers and corporate elites to the continent’s most enduring rivals: nature and geography.
From mosquitoes and locusts to fragmented waterways and rugged terrain, these forces have shaped where people live, how they travel, and whether they survive. Diseases like malaria, AIDS, dengue, and sleeping sickness have quietly influenced everything from workforce productivity to infrastructure strategy.
Africa’s development story isn’t just about geopolitics or foreign investments — it’s about confronting and adapting to its unique geographic and ecological realities. To unlock the continent’s potential, we must reframe the narrative, starting with the land itself.
