The Story of Algeria

In this episode of Lumumba’s Africa, we explore the pivotal role of Algeria in shaping Africa’s liberation struggles and its complex legacy in the post-independence era. Known as the “Mecca of Revolution,” Algeria became a sanctuary for anti-colonial fighters, revolutionaries, and exiled leaders from across Africa and the Global South during the 1960s and 70s.

The Story of Algeria
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.
