Macroscopic PodcastFarida Nabourema: MONETARY COLONIALISM in Africa & oppression in TOGOIn this powerful interview, Togolese activist Farida Nabourema provides a deep dive into Togo’s ongoing struggle under one of Africa's longest-standing autocratic regimes. She paints a stark picture of life under a "thug regime," where Togolese citizens are treated as hostages rather than citizens, enduring decades of oppression, economic exploitation, and human rights abuses. Nabourema details the impact of the CFA franc currency, originally a colonial tool, which still ties Togo’s economy to French control. This system forces the country to store its reserves in France and allows France to set monetary and fiscal policies, leaving Togolese citi...2025-03-2759 min

Dissidents and DictatorsFighting Back Against Monetary ColonialismMuch of France's African empire fell away during decolonization, but 15 nations still use the CFA Franc and thus remain under its control. France has historically devalued the CFA Franc to buy cheaper goods at the expense of the 183 million Africans in the CFA zone. In this episode, recorded at the 2023 South by Southwest (SXSW) conference, participants discuss their battle against monetary colonialism and how Bitcoin can play a role in helping change the tide.

It's a ContinentTogo's Gnassingbé DynastyIn this episode, we learn about Africa’s longest-serving dynasties, the Gnassingbé dynasty. They have ruled Togo since the late 1960s. The rise of the dynasty began with Gnassingbé Eyadéma, who forged a successful military career and became the country’s President. Following Gnassingbé’s death in 2005, his son Faure Gnassingbé became President following a questionable set of parliamentary changes, and like father, like son, his rulership has failed the Togolese people.
