Alkebulanians,

There’s been another coup in Africa. It feels like we’re saying this every other week, first Madagascar, now Guinea-Bissau. But before you scroll past the headlines, pause. Everything isn’t as it seems.

In this episode, I dive into the suspicious ousting of President Umaro Sissoco Embaló by the military. On the surface, they claim it’s about corruption. But when you look at the timeline, the maths don’t add up.

👇 Considering a move or visit to Africa but don’t know where to start?

Why did the ousted President’s first move involve calling the French press (France 24)? 🇫🇷 Why launch a coup just one day before election results were due to be announced? And why does this smell less like a revolution and more like a strategic “fake coup” designed to maintain the status quo?

I’m peeling back the layers on the neocolonial games being played in West Africa, the “bamboozlement” of the people, and why political literacy is the only weapon we have left. From the sham elections to the French influence in non-French colonies, we are connecting the dots that the mainstream media ignores.

In this episode:

* The French Connection: Why did Embaló report to France 24 first?

* Timing is Everything: A coup launched 24 hours before election results. Coincidence?

* The “Fake Coup” Theory: Was this staged to avoid admitting electoral defeat?

* Diaspora Wake-Up Call: Parallels between African and American political “tomfoolery.”

Ignorance is no longer an affliction; it’s a choice. Don’t choose it.

Join the conversation: Does this coup benefit the people of Guinea-Bissau, or just the politicians? Let me know in the comments.
