On this episode of Lumumba’s Africa, Professor P.L.O. Lumumba turns his gaze to the life and assassination of Amílcar Cabral, the revolutionary agronomist who led the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC) in its armed struggle against Portuguese colonial rule. Join Professor Lumumba as he unravels the story of a man who was killed by his own comrades, yet whose vision helped bring down an empire.

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.
