RSH 144 -- America’s War on Terror in the Sahel (7.23.2025) (UNLOCKED)

In this bonus episode, Peter and Adam focus on Africa. Adam talks in-depth about a book recently read The Dying Sahara: U.S. Imperialism and Terror in Africa by Jeremy Keenan, which shows the roots of the U.S. War on Terror in Africa. The Algerian deep state, with the support of the U.S. and Europe, supported al-Qaeda in the Islamic Magreb (AQIM) (with training and many Algerian deep state operatives being al-Qaeda members), fabricated false flag terrorist attacks in the Sahel region, which Algeria blamed on the Tuareg and used as an excuse to expand the War on Terror. They also talk about the importance of African history, why African affairs are relevant to Black America, and Ibrahim Traore. (Recorded May 31, 2025)

Real Sankara Hours is a Pan-African socialist political podcast that covers domestic and global politics, current events, race, Black radical political theory, and Black culture from a Pan-African socialist and Black Left perspective. It’s hosted by Adam Hudson and Peter MGunn. 

“F**k Israel, Joe Budden Is Trash, and the Imperial Boomerang from Gaza to Black America” (RSH Adam’s Riffs #4; 8.22.2025)

In this fireside chat riff, Adam talks about; Israel assassinating Palestinian journalist Anas al-Sharif and all of Al Jazeera’s Gaza staff; Israel moving forward with its plan to re-occupy Gaza and push for a Greater Israel in the Middle East; Black American labor activist Chris Smalls being beaten up by Israel; the failure of the mainstream Black media and political class to fight for Black political interests independent of the Democratic Party; The Joe Budden Podcast being absolute trash for wanting to pivot from Marc Lamont Hill discussing Gaza; Trump’s federal takeover of D.C. police, fearmongering of Black crime, and growing fascism; the importance of health and fitness on the Left. (Recorded August 18-19, 2025; addendum recorded August 21, 2025) #joebudden #palestine #gaza
