On 12 March, Senegal’s National Assembly voted to raise same-sex relations sentence to 10 years & to criminalise “promotion” or “apology” of homosexuality. Here, Rama Salla Dieng argues against those who hail this as an act of African self-determination. roape.net/2026/03/17/bod…

In this piece, Prince Ifoh argues that re-reading Walter Rodney, Kwame Nkrumah, and Achille Mbembe allows us to see how digital capitalism reconfigures rather break with Africa’s history of underdevelopment. roape.net/2026/03/11/dig…

What it means to oppose genocide today? What are the stakes ? Take a look at this recent interview I gave.
ROAPE journal@ROAPEjournal

In this interview with Florian Bobin & Amadou Kébé, @MomodouTaal connects the Palestinian struggle to a longer history of Black, African & anti-imperial resistance. For him, the path is clear: “the future is Pan-Africanism & transnational solidarity.” roape.net/2026/02/25/opp…

Since Burkina Faso’s current president Ibrahim Traoré came to power through a military coup in 2022, parallels between Traoré and the country’s former president and Pan-Africanist icon Thomas Sankara (1983-1987) have become commonplace. @roapejournal mronline.org/2026/03/05/mor…

Important read. We need to be honest about the differences between a government which seeks sovereignty from imperialist presence and one with a foundationally Marxist Leninist praxis which seeks to improve the material conditions of the masses.

While many have been quick to draw parallels, ROAPE’s Bettina Engels urges caution in seeing Burkina Faso's 🇧🇫 President Ibrahim Traoré simply as Thomas Sankara reborn. Alongside certain similarities, Engels argues that striking differences also exist. roape.net/2026/03/04/mor…

I’m glad to see a more clear-eyed understanding of both the Burkina Faso gov & its AES allies. The danger in popular perceptions abroad is that once the over-optimistic fantasy view of these govs shatters, they will swing so far in reaction as to deny the real positive forces.
