BNP 017: Can AfCFTA Fix What ECOWAS and Trump Can’t?

Is Africa finally finding its footing or are we watching history repeat itself with different headlines?
This week on The Bad Natives Podcast, we unpack the layers behind Trump’s unexpected DRC-Rwanda peace deal signed in Washington but with M23 missing from the table, is it already falling apart? We dive into the fragile state of peace and power across the continent where ECOWAS is struggling to fund its standby force against rising terrorism, AfCFTA’s open skies promise more connected trade -but can Africa really trust herself enough to make it work and Ethiopian Airlines profits record, while Air Senegal sinks deeper into debt. What does all this mean for Africa’s geopolitical future, regional power blocs, and the myth of African-led solutions?

Can Africa really transform, or are we still in the waiting lounge?
