What's happening in Burkina Faso, Mali & Niger is a response to several years of plunder, exploitation & destruction by colonisation & neo-colonialism. It's foolish to interpret it as a simple power grab by the military or through the lazy lenses of "electoral democracy" bla bla

Prof. Isabella Aboderin from @PerivoliARC @BristolUni discussing north-south partnerships with @divinefuh and @sallywheeler. Are they becoming more equitable or does the whole system need to change? No prizes for guessing the correct answer!

Most "equitable partnership frameworks" in int'l research partnerships reinforce the dominance of Eurocentric knowledge production & make superficial changes in the final stages of knowledge production, i.e. on the division of labour, resources & access. @PerivoliARC @huma_africa
