Today on Lumumba’s Africa Professor deconstructs the British policy of “Indirect Rule,” revealing it not as a system of benign governance, but as a sophisticated and insidious machine for colonial exploitation that weaponized local traditions and sowed the seeds of modern African conflict. Tune in for an unflinching look at how the British Empire’s most “practical” policy became one of its most devastating legacies.

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.
