Last month South Africans BLK JKS played the Festival Rio Loco in the south of France–for what was a South Africa focus at the festival. They invited Malian Vieux Farka Toure and his band to join them for what was billed as “100% African Rock.”  The result: one and a half hours of good music. Even better, for an encore they bring on Thandiswa Mazwai to perform a cover version of the late Brenda Fassie’s “Too Late for Mama” with the  new 100% Afrian Rock band.  — Sean Jacobs

The General sleeps

As former Nigerian president Muhammadu Buhari’s death is mourned with official reverence, a generation remembers the eight years that drove them out.

The grift tank

In Washington’s think tank ecosystem, Africa is treated as a low-stakes arena where performance substitutes for knowledge. The result: unqualified actors shaping policy on behalf of militarists, lobbyists, and frauds.

Kagame’s hidden war

Rwanda’s military deployments in Mozambique and its shadowy ties to M23 rebels in eastern Congo are not isolated interventions, rather part of a broader geopolitical strategy to expand its regional influence.
