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.
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
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.

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.
Just learned of African Stream & had subscribed to your Youtube days before the ban. Please come to places like Rumble & Odysee.
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
