On this episode of Lumumba’s Africa, the professor delves into one of the most misunderstood and politically charged topics on the continent: tribes and tribalism in modern Africa. This episode is a crucial examination of how the “ghost of the tribe” continues to haunt the present, shaping conflict, discrimination, and the very struggle for a unified African identity.

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.
