At 82, and amid visible signs of physical strain and deteriorating national infrastructure, Museveni is once again asking Ugandans for more time, paradoxically campaigning as a “grievance” candidate against the very system he has built.

Send us a text In this episode, we take a deep dive into yet another failed military coup in West Africa and what it reveals about shifting power dynamics across the continent.

BNP 039: Did President Embaló Stage a Coup Against Himself? Guinea-Bissau’s Strange Election and Power Play
Send us a text Guinea-Bissau’s newest putsch is more than just another headline — it’s the latest chapter in a nation shaped by five decades of coups, contested elections, and power struggles between military elites and political cartels. Once branded West Africa’s “narco-state,” Guinea-Bissau continues to battle the shadow networks that have defined its instability and weakened its institutions. In this episode, we break down what’s really driving the latest unrest, the historical forces beh...

BNP 036: On Blood, Ballots, Thrones: Morocco's Gen Z Fix, Tanzania Election Carnage, Trump South African G-20 Fury
Send us a text As Africa’s youth rise and leaders retreat into fear or fury, Morocco bends while others break. Rabat’s monarchy buys peace with reforms and royal calm. In Tanzania, the ballot turned into a battlefield, leaving hundreds dead and a nation reeling. And from across the ocean, Donald Trump stokes new anger, snubbing South Africa’s G-20 summit with a baseless claim about the “slaughter of Afrikaners.” This episode unpacks Africa’s uneasy balance between reform, repression, and fore...

BNP 035: Tanzania Burns: 98% Sham Vote, and Is Trump's Threat to Invade Nigeria Serious?
Send us a text In this episode of Bad Natives Podcast, we dissect two storms shaping global power and perception — one in Tanzania, and one in Washington. In Tanzania’s October 2025 election, President Samia Suluhu Hassan secured a Soviet-style 98% victory, the kind of landslide that says less about popularity and more about the performance of power. Opposition leaders were jailed, rallies were banned, and protests in Dar es Salaam met the barrels of police guns. The ruling Chama Cha Mapindu...

Send us a text In this episode of Bad Natives Podcast, we dive into the paradox at the heart of modern African politics: the rise of democratic dictators — leaders who speak the language of reform while quietly redrawing the rules of freedom. From Tanzania’s President Samia Suluhu Hassan, whose early charm offensive promised openness after Magufuli’s era but now faces mounting scrutiny for tightening political space, to Uganda’s Yoweri Museveni, the region’s eternal patriarch, and Rwanda’s P...

BNP Express: Raila Odinga: The Man Who Refused to Retire From Hope
Send us a text Raila Amolo Odinga — Baba, Agwambo, the Enigma — was never just a politician. He was Kenya’s moral compass, disruptor, dealmaker, and paradox all at once. In this BNP Express, we trace the life and legacy of one of Africa’s most consequential opposition figures — a man who stood up to Daniel arap Moi, built uneasy alliances with Mwai Kibaki, shook hands with Uhuru Kenyatta, and clashed bitterly with William Ruto. From the struggle for multi-party democracy in the 1990s to the ...

His story exposes not just a personal loss, but the deep institutional failures, rising insecurity, and broken public trust plaguing Africa’s biggest democracy. Across the continent, a new Afrobarometer study reveals a troubling pattern: opposition leade...

Send us a text Ethiopia has flipped the switch on its $5 billion Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), doubling the country’s power capacity and reigniting tensions with Egypt and Sudan over Nile waters. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed frames the project as a gateway to regional dominance, even hinting at Ethiopia’s ambitions for Red Sea access—a move that could redraw the Horn of Africa’s power map.

Across the continent, strongmen remain firmly in power: Yoweri Museveni in Uganda, Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo in Equatorial Guinea, and Alassane Ouattara in Ivory Coast are just a few of the long-serving rulers who have shaped politics for entire generations.
