EP 4 Prof.Jason Arday and The U.K. Media | UAE in Africa | Waste Colonialism and US Deportations | ANR

Africa is being treated like the world’s dumping ground, and this conversation exposes exactly how and why. From Liberia's agreement to take in U.S. deportees to the toxic waste legacy in Côte d’Ivoire. Adesoji Iginla, Aya Fubara Eneli, and Milton Allimadi connect the dots among environmental abuse, political weakness, and the same old colonial logic.The panel also takes on the explosive fallout around the late Cambridge professor Jason Arde, where questions of plagiarism, media frenzy, and racial double standards collide. Was this really about academic standards, or was it another example of how Black excellence is scrutinised, isolated, and used as a warning to others? Milton breaks down the journalistic and structural hypocrisy, while Aya and Adesoji push the conversation toward the deeper issue of how institutions weaponise suspicion against African people. You'll hear sharp analysis on:*The rise of Islamophobia in U.S. and UK politics*Texas book bans, gerrymandering, and the war on public education*The Jason Arday controversy and what it reveals about media bias*Liberia’s decision to accept deportees from the U.S.Chapters00:00 — Introduction and guest welcome01:49 — News roundtable begins02:11 — Islamophobia and U.S. politics03:36 — Texas politics, book bans, and gerrymandering07:51 — Hypocrisy in Texas school politics09:44 — Jason Arday and media hounding11:46 — Milton on racial double standards in academia18:06 — Aya on Black genius and fear of education23:58 — Plagiarism, Cambridge, and inconsistency25:19 — Re-examining the allegations29:08 — Plagiarism allegations and university findings30:15 — Milton on collective treatment of Black people32:23 — Aya asks how to respond33:01 — Journalism, investigation, and hidden corruption39:26 — Transition to Liberia and Africa as a dumping ground41:22 — Probo Koala and waste colonialism43:18 — Africa as the global dumping ground47:29 — Aya on environmental injustice and African leadership48:38 — The recurring pattern of Black expendability51:47 — Liberian leadership and the deportee deal54:21 — Brief mention of UAE and Sudan56:20 — Closing reflections57:06 — Final warning about systemic attack58:08 — Fundraising and closing remarks59:46 — Final send-offSend us Fan Mail Support the showAfrica is not a story of victims.
