This year has been an extraordinary year for politics in Africa. In less than nine months, the continent has witnessed a lifetime’s worth of drama and tumult, largely driven by a youth population waking to its power and rejecting the empty promises of the old guard.

Painted messages in Angola's abandoned liberation army camps offer a rare historical record

Jul 11, 2023 | tolerance.ca | Justin Pearce

In Angola’s Malanje province, the buildings of Camalundu stand abandoned amid open fields. On one of them, the fragmented words “IAN NGOYI” recall a figure little-known in Angola but familiar to South Africans: anti-apartheid leader Lilian Ngoyi.

On February 24, 1966, a military coup d’état orchestrated by the police and the army overthrew Kwame Nkrumah. The event unfolded in Nkrumah’s absence, with the prior knowledge and approval, and likely the assistance, of the United States and Great Britain. The president was on a peace mission to bring an end to the brutal war in Vietnam. The coup launched Ghana—Africa’s Black Star—into a quarter century of political instability.
