African Stream has been banned by Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. We were censored after US Secretary of State Antony Blinken made false, unsubstantiated claims against us on Friday. To be clear, contrary to the accusations, African Stream does not receive any funding from any state.
We will shorty release a full statement regarding our work, our funding and these accusations. We are currently consulting our legal team to figure out how best to move forward.
We thank all of our loyal followers and encourage those who want to hear our pan-African perspectives to join our Patreon and Telegram. (We are also still on TikTok and X – for now!)
Our motivation is, has been and will always be our undying commitment to Africa and African people, and our desire to see our continent liberated from the shackles of imperialism and our people treated with dignity and respect in whatever part of the globe they reside.

You need to check your brand of Journalism that borders on yellow journalism and is meant to elicit passion.
Very sad for you to justify their action with their narrative. This is the problem of some Africans who do not see anything wrong with the West but see everything wrong with a response. God save us
Blinken, Blinken, is that you?
I love how we black people are quick to jump to the defence of others especially when they’re persecuting our own.
Even if we assume you are correct, and it is sensationalism, why are they being treated differently to other similar (white owned) outlets?
It’s about time black peoples opened their eyes, and engaged their brains.
Meta & YouTube need to prioritise the illegal content they are platforming. Hatred, gore & violence, pornography, predators. The need to ban those things, and not journalism which is protected by the first amendment. META, YouTube & twitter if your going to CENSOR the PRESS, start with Fox news. They platformed misinformation from the MAGA campaign which led to the Jan 6th Riots, and the UN- peaceful transfer of power in the 2020 Presidential election.
P.S shame on YouTube for taking down a Progressive movement’s platform on their APP, especially with the knowledge of Youth users on their Apps. NEED more BLACK, Senators, governors, Millionaires, police officers etc .
INFACT WE NEED TO START A PAN AFRICAN THINK THANK, LIKE THE HUNDREDS RIGHT WING REPUBLICAN ONES THRIVING & GETTING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF INVESTORS.
African stream, I am pleading for you guys to start this think thank, of laws we would create if we got into officer & capitalise off it as well. Get back to me if u see this. x x
As if NBC isn’t meant to elicit passion.
There is no conspiracy by the extra-judicial, Loyalty up and Loyalty down, DemocratRepublican, seniority-system
to drive the Space City Speed Gospel company and that son of a Palestinian
into poverty and homosexuality and suicide,
or to Loot and destroy the Space City Speed Gospel company and that son of a Palestinian,
or to shadow-ban and cancel and blacklist and delete the Space City Speed Gospel company and that son of a Palestinian.
Extra-judicial Law-enforcement is criminal in itself, like Mafia Law or narcotrafficantes Law.
1776 US Declaration of Independence Grievance 12 is beyond your comprehension.
Where is all this Law-enforcement of the Future we’ve been hearing so much about in Matthew chapter 5 verse 17, KJV Bible, oh Ye Son of man?
The extrajudicial, black-ops, road into hell is wide and crowded – Matthew chapter 7 verse 13, KJV Bible.
You guys keep on exposing Western hegemony in Africa & across the world, historically & currently
May Allah guide you closer to His obedience
The major fear of Euromerican Zionists is the resurgence of a unified Islamic nation. Only Islam has the economic & moral program to end this Global White Supremacist machine
It’s about freedom of speech and our rights not religion.
Don’t say Islam that’s where you go wrong and some people may misunderstand you.
thank you, we as followers should also spread the news on the other platforms.
Having been a regular listener to African Stream I disagree with the banning. If it is wrong to question and debate issues from an African perspective, especially a black African perspective, by white owned internet platform providers, then it is clear there is colour racism involved in this banning, and dare I say those who have banned African Stream ought be banned themselves for the numbers of days African Stream is as punishment for their false allegation.
In all honesty I find the content and issues presented by African Stream highly thoughtful and questioning. And yes it is uncomfortable to hear the outrageous bad underlying racism coming out of the West’s attitudes towards black Africans and their diaspora. I think it time for us non Africans to listen and learn from African Stream rather than merely attempting to ban dialogue.
Do any of these who are responsible for the ban not recognize there is a comments section to respond to a video and have an open debate rather than censure?
Yes, there is an anti West sentiment and it needs to be voiced, otherwise how can the West listen and learn from its mistakes and bad attitudes?
Ignorance and Arrogance of the West( including me) needs to be addressed, challenged, understood and rectified, NOT blocked.
We stand with African Stream! An attack on you is an attack on all Pan-Afrikan media globally!
rest assured that this attack is a reflection of the fact that African Stream is winning the Propaganda War! Exposing Western Imperialist Machinations in an environment of increased anti-imperialist uprising among Afrikan People!
Keep up the good work, we are here to support!
We are with you all the way! Stay strong!! #WeAreAllAfricanStream
Blinken is a racist white supremacist liar.
I just saw the news of your cancellation on another YouTube channel criticising the action taken against you. What was my first response? I googled you.
Suggestion from a big supporter of your channel; please post your content on Rumble too.
I am appalled that these social media platforms banned your organisation basen on lies perpetrated by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. To me, this indicates that you are doing something right and they are afraid of your organisation. Utilised your website and attract your followers to here like we used to do back in the day before the advent of YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook. Those who are truly with you will flock to your website. As content creator, you do not need them. They need you.
Political disgrace, a travesty against an honest well liked and publicised news outlet.

Mind Control Mechanisms (SLAVERY) and Distractions
1. RELIGION
2. POLITICS
3. MONEY CREATION & IMF/WORLD BANK LOANS
4.WESTERN EDUCATION
5. MEDIA (SOCIAL & MAIN STREAM)
6. HEALTHCARE (MEDICINES, VACCINES, GMO & FOOD PRODUCTION
I am devastated, your channel was hands down my favourite channel, spreading pan-African consciousness, and the censorship is appalling. I will be visiting your website and reading your news but this is a sad day.
I propose we as africans should start considering developing our own IT infrastrcture without funds from the west. once we can get our infrastructure right like what russia or china. we then leave the west to their demise. Media is power tool to form the right future we want in africa. The western countries that spread misinformation to their audience about africa are telling us how to not spread the right news because we are not sharing their view. We need to wakeup fast before they capture every part of lives.
I strongly agree we must have our own youtubs and things like that but it starts with our own satellites and tech know hows then now you’re talking about education security and finance. But we must start something on out own for sure.
YES WHAT A WONDERFULL IDEA, that why we must educate the youth. We need to get our children into cyber security & I.T, into reading books, & other academics.

Just learned of African Stream & had subscribed to your Youtube days before the ban. Please come to places like Rumble & Odysee.
Yes definitely spread your wings and we’ll find you and support you everywhere.
So the yanks spearding even more lies. If you don’t follow what they say they close you down .. land of free speech.hmm They spread more lies and misinformation around the world than anyone. You look at the news channels all saying the same thing not even the truth. Never believe the biggest supplier of weapons/death around the world who pretends they want peace
Create your own platform. What about Tik Tok?
African countries should not take any IMF or World Bank loans. You all have gold, use it to back loans from ither lending agencues except the west.
African ‘freedom of speech’ is under attack by the very same snake who is implemented democracy and freedom of speech. Jokers!
This ban is criminal and yet telling. If they are coming after you for doing the work of raising awareness, in the many ways you do, then it shows their weakness, rather than power; you should keep going by whatever means you can.
I enjoy your media and salute the work you do. We remain with you!
#weareallafricastream
Never mind! Banning is always a million dollar free promotion. This is the time for African Stream to go viral. Those who never knew of AS will do now. The proof is I am here reading and replying to this post.
Admins here, share this news.
The so called land of freedom of speech prevents people from talking. Theives !!!! What is the real agenda? When will africans create their own platforms so they can say what they want?
Americans hate to loss so they create false narratives and their people actually belief it. Because if they don’t Yiutube wont just block someone without investigating.
They are all thieves and killers !!!!
long live African Stream and the re awakening of pan Africanism.
#weareallafricanstream
I do believe this needs to be investigated further, but I do not believe YouTube or Meta should be censoring this content. People should have a right to multiple perspectives, and should be encouraged to learn about both sides of geopolitical rivalries.
African governments should also consider applying counter measures, such as requiring platforms to host media and content creators without discrimination. If they refuse to comply, they should be banned from operating in Africa.
This I whole heartedly agree with, hit them in the pocket,, that’s the only thing they fear
I love what you do. How can I get your content besides the banned channels?
It’s truly disheartening that countries claiming to uphold “democracy” are actively limiting the freedom of information and expression for Africans. This injustice must come to an end—everyone deserves a voice!
I I was not even aware of your channel until you were banned on You Tube. I have now bookmarked your website and will support you not necessarily because I would agree with everything you say but because you are an African voice that US has silenced. The other issue regarding this ban that really bothered me is that unsaid derision that African consumers of information and media lack the intellect to decide for themselves what is propaganda and what is not. Freedom of press and free speech that US likes to preach are about the right to listen to “propaganda” if that is what you choose to. White people should not be telling Africans what listen to and read. That is what Soviet leaders used to impose on their citizens in USSR.
The wokw West are loosing control over media, good for us and African Stream
Lawsuit against Blinkin the way Hillary Clinton sued Donald Trump for a million dollars or the way Alex Jones was sued for a billion dollars.
After Blinkin, sue YouTube Community for every penny they own except food stamp, poverty line, benefits.
Extra-judicial Law-enforcement that nullifies the 1776 US Declaration of Independence and US Constitution Bill of Rights
is as criminal as Mafia tactics and narcotrafficantes tactics and the tactics of the NationalistSocialist Third-Reich of Germany after World War One.
Get religious with states’ rights and the Biblical nonviolence of Jesus The Christ of The Holy Bible.
Only the amazing grace of Jesus The Christ of The Holy Bible has been saving a miserable wretch like me.
Lest I vaunt myself before GOD, (like a NaZi), saying, “Mine own hand hath saved me.” – Judges chapter 7, Gideons’ Bible.
I think anyone with sense can see what’s happening. A USA politician said just last week that the rules of the game has changed due to social media as people can now choose where they get their news from. A week later we can see how they’re gonna be getting around this obstacle
Why are so many Africans in the U.S. Trump supporters? Many African Americans voted for Trump as well. How do you not see that the abundance of negative posts about moderate Democrats influenced this? I kept a tally at the time, and there were far fewer negative posts about Trump compared to Biden and Harris. How about taking some responsibility for your role in helping a monster secure the presidency of the US?
