On the air since 1987, Amandla is a weekly African current affairs program founded in response to racist and misleading mainstream media coverage of Southern Africa.
Since then, the team has expanded the show’s mandate to cover the entire continent, to take stories past the headlines of the mainstream media to show the complexity, creativity, courage and vision of Africans as they confront their colonial past and neo-colonial present.
Other collaborators include Sama Elibyari, Mouloud Idir, Roberto Nieto, Zahra Moloo and Sophie Toupin.

On July 23, 1952, Gamal Abdel Nasser and 89 other Officers staged a coup d’état, ousting the monarchy then headed by King Farouk. He ruled Egypt from 1954 till his death in 1970. Of all the Arab leaders of the past century, few had such a lasting impact that extended to other Arab countries as had Nasser. His legacy is hotly debated. | |||
