Decolonization: 70s-80s

In this episode of Lumumba’s Africa, we explore the turbulent stages of Africa’s decolonization in the 1970s and 1980s. As the winds of change swept across the continent, former Portuguese colonies like Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, and Cape Verde fought brutal wars for independence, while Southern Africa became the last battleground against white minority rule.

Decolonization: 70s-80s
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.
