The Berlin Conference

In the current episode of Lumumba’s Africa, we delve into one of the most consequential events in African history – the Berlin Conference. This meeting of European powers redrew the map of the continent without a single African voice at the table. Professor PLO Lumumba explores how arbitrary borders, colonial exploitation, and the brutal partitioning of Africa set the stage for decades of conflict, economic disparity, and cultural disruption.

The Berlin Conference
Lumumba’s Africa focuses on the past and current issues affecting the African continent; Filmed amidst the beautiful landscapes of Kenya and hosted by Professor P.L.O. Lumumba, the show looks at the many dichotomies of Africa: why are some of the economies thriving while others stall; why conflicts emerge and refuse to die down, and why despite colonialism being ‘gone’, it still ruins the prosperity of nations.
