African Stream is under attack! Since our inception less than two years ago, we’ve attempted to reshape the narratives surrounding Africa and African people. In doing so, we seem to have upset some very powerful people.
On Friday 13th, the United States government launched a coordinated assault against us. Antony Blinken, US Secretary of State, branded our team – based in Nairobi, Kenya – Kremlin propagandists, putting a target on our backs.
Within 24 hours, our YouTube page was taken down by Google, and soon after, Instagram, Facebook and Threads banned us as well.
These are clear attempts to intimidate and silence us. But, as the African proverb goes: ‘The howling of hyenas will never stop the roar of lions.’

They have the platforms and we do not. But African voices will always continue to rise. If Russian and other countries start opening up for African to use their communication system the West will be panicking.
But we shall be freed so days.
Whites dominating other races is all they want
Let’s Create own platforms and generate viewership that will highlight good professional journalism which I’d now near non existent. The bias is so bad it’s unbelievable it’s reached this far without being checked. Time to start a new standard of zero tolerance for the democrat propagandists
What is the TikTok and X username please! A lot pop up when I search!
Your “Skip Ad” button doesn’t work. Please fix that so we don’t have to watch a 2 minute ad before watching a 28 second video.
Really that’s literally the best you had to comment on this pivotal moment. Shame on you.
We have a platform its called Fanbase.
Thank you! How exciting. Is African Stream on Fanbase? I’m signing up to find out.
Why can’t build and support our own communication systems? We have the intellectual capital among us to make it happen. The African won’t be “free” until she liberates her mind and re-synchronize with the autonomy of nature. We are for whom we’ve been waiting.
I agree! We need to mobilise now and get rid of these Western platforms for communication! There are pan-afrikan anti-imperial waves across Africa now and we need to maintain our communication.. RUMBLE FOR NOW PLEASE!
Only way I could contact YouTube support is through the mobile app feedback.
Neocolonialism is on full display. We the Africans must stop emulating these devils. We tend to think, no matter how stupid, so long as it’s white, it’s better than anything that is ours. And let’s create our own Afrivibes, a platform where we as Africans can gather and discuss everything African. BRICS must pick up speed so we can dump the us dollar. Let’s stop buying from them, we have built them and we can destroy them by not giving them our business.

Yes.. those capitalist self-serving devils must face the end of their reign..! They control the church too, so you “catholics” better start reading up the real world history- also why would a church sit on billions and own billions worth of assets? Are they not supposed to give it to the poor? READ THIS HISTORY people! Its intertwined with the current world governing systems…. and rampant evil.
You’re an idiot. According to you; legitimately acquired wealth such as owning billions of dollars in tithes is a crime. You have never given a penny to help a poor person. You are a hypocrite. Numerous false religions are quite wealthy and flaunt their wealth; musloids, protestant denominations, talmudic Judaism, Hindus etc – and yet they receive no criticism. Numerous corporations sit on billions and receive no criticism. Also no one spends more on charity annually than the Church — over a billion dollars is spent. No one owes you anything. Why should a small devil (e.g. you) be funded to become a rich devil? You an an ignorant irreligious fool. Christianity doesn’t fund its enemies (blasphemous pagans such as yourself). You are very entitled.
Lastly no one controls the Church. It is independent.
We want to support but how do we go about it please.. I’m going to share this on my platform… this is my first time of hearing about this African stream and love it. Please tell us what to do.
They mentioned what to do, but in case you didn’t finish reading until the last part, here’s the full message they shared in the final section:
Make a 20-second video in support of African Stream and post it on your profile and associated pages – with the hashtag #WeAreAllAfricanStream
Write to Instagram and YouTube support and ask them why they deleted our channel.

Defend the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) and pay attention to what is happening in the Sahel. According to our sources, on September 16th, there was an alleged destabilisation attempt in Mali. They may have removed us because they don’t want you to see what they intend to do. Be that dissenting voice. The AES needs your support!
We will end with the words of one of our greatest martyrs, Samora Machel:
“If you hear White men praising me, then know that I have betrayed you”
Thank you, Antony Blinken, for letting our audience know we never betrayed them. Much appreciated.
I think is time africa start looking into their own cyber infrastructure
Link whatever you have on alternative platforms such as odysee, mastodon, etc… so that access can never be completely denied to your content.
It’s a complex situation. Both sides have a strong interest in censoring the other.
It’s likely that they are trying to acquire your company. It should not be too long before someone will contact about supporting you in either monetary or other way in exchange for letting them have say in the news network.
If you want to counter attack start accepting anonymous crypto donations.
It’s very likely that there are those who want to support you but don’t dare because of the big brother of the internet or they want to poke the eye of the said big brother but don’t want to associate with your brand.
I don’t know if this will work but it’s something to do. Goal is to use the heat they brought in your favor.
How to mobilize your clients base in social networks to spread and keep you alive?
Target hype riders who want to get new followers
Try to get them endorse you for free this is important they have little to be afraid if the platform bans them so they will risk it.
Give them easy to use visuals and audio which they can spread
Make it as easy as possible to support you. Most likely these individuals have no clear plan to popularity provide that plan for them and they will say yes. Make your message clear and polarizing this is easy now as it’s clear “white supremacists trying to silence African voice do we allow it to happen?”
Next phase…
Great strategy. Together we’ll win.
The insult to insinuate that Africans cannot think for themselves. #killthedollar. Boycott their companies. Don’t buy their products. Stop using the US dollar were possible. Don’t deal with their companies. Cut US out of Africa. Expose them. Expose CIA. Never stop educating the world on their atrocities. DO NOT SHUT UP. For 800 years they’ve lived off our land, our people. The have blood on their hands.
I would also suggest that we stop communicating in the European languages.
That would be a game-changer. Speaking foreign languages, primarily, acculturates the melanated mind to foreign thinking, behavior and actions that are corrupt and antithetical to thinking, behavior and actions that sound motive instructions from maternal languages (=mother tongue) cause. Speaking European languages causes neural and cellular conflicts in Africans, and results in identity crisis, memory loss, and an inability to integrate intelligently with nature. We must be restored whole.
You start. You should have written that in your mother tongue (I’m not African, so I’m not being hypocritical)

This is ridiculous stupid article that was written for renown Stanford University.
I am here to support, UNITED we STAND #africanstream
Mu African brothers we cannot continue to be ignorant like this. We must fight now, we’ve been humiliated ever since life started.
African people Must now create their own platform where they can carry their activities with no fear. Am pleading with all software developers please talk to fellow developers from other countries so that you develop something good for Africans. WE MUST FIGHT
We’re ready to fight.. its been simmering to boil these last few decades and its almost tea time!
Agreed!
I straight up never heard of you. Then Blinken had you banned. Now you’re on my list of saved websites.
Good news. You just got bigger.
Africa has the brains to do everything and anything , cant we get brothers and sisters to form apps that Africans can use? do we have to rely on the apps that are controlled by the white ?
Do you know that Africans are the most consumers of white applications meaning we are making them rich
Wow..African Stream is highlight the truth about the African continent and America hates it because getting the truth out about the African continent to Americans will make Americans realize they have been lied too for centuries about the African continent and African people…so, so, sad..and simplay RACISM right in our faces!!!!!
It’s to prevent our inevitable unification. Once our minds unify, it’s a done deal.
AFRICAN STREAM – we all know what is going on! i think you guys should create a short video…and we go with Whatsapp to share. lets get your website to the same level of views and interaction as those platforms. People that were viewing your content are conscientious enough to know there is work to be done now! each one teach one…
Cosign!!! I get my African world news from WhatsApp groups from people with actual feet on the ground–in Haiti, DRC, Cameroon, Nigeria, Ghana, Sudan, etc. It’s imperative that we have our own Black media that reports the truth–good, bad or indifferent.
We don’t have to matter to others, but we MUST matter to ourselves.
Black people are complicit in this by voting overwhelmingly for liberals. Liberals don’t care about black people, they only care about lgbt and feminism. Now black people will understand why conservatives value free speech.
Politics have not benefited the collective African race in my lifetime. Certainly not, U.S. politics. The censorship of our voices on the internet isn’t a show stopper. We must converge our intellectual potentialities to solve our own problems. All living things have a capacity for self-preservation. No other group on this planet is more important than we are to ourselves.
We’ve had enough distractions. The actions we take today will affect the next 7 generations. Our posterity don’t deserve to inherit our problems. Our self-determination initiatives MUST be prioritized. We can no longer afford to be duped by “illusions of inclusion”.
the conservatives that are threatened by the black populaton in america, the ones that go on air calling black people low iq and inferior, the one that was promoting a self proclaimed black nazi, led by an orange man who’s father was a nazi and was taken to court for not allowing black people to rent apartments in trump tower. Get your stupid ass out of here they want free speech so they can spread more racism and bigotry without being censored, it’s not for you black people lol. Get your dumb ass outta here, tryna confuse the community

I think they White America has done Africa a favour, We now know what our enemies are like and also there is a saying in Luganda ” Akugoba ye a kuyamba” The one who rejects you, has helped you. It means that when you are rejected you are free to explore other options. The thing is that the cards are in the favour of the Africans, we are the only population that is growing and so we are the only audience that matters. So all we need is to create our platform no matter how clumsy and all go towards it, in 30 years they will regret having pushed us out.
God bless you African stream
They tried to do this to Wion News. You should get their support and help, they were able to beat it.
And more eyes will be on the story as well
Africans need their own platforms. Where are they? 102 new century multimillionaires in South Africa alone (in 2024) in the most income unequal country in the world, but we are dependent on foreign social media platforms, content streaming services and other technology. In the words of Brian Kagoro, “I am not in the business of crumbs. I am not here for the leftovers of capitalism that is raping my country. People say, oh, Brian be practical…I hear people talking about shifting powers. Power is not a gear you shift. How do you shift power between you and Bill Gates? You either create alternative power, disrupt existing power or ignore existing power. Stop using placebos.”
I am a radical Conservative pan Africanist and An indigenous African, i commend your efforts, i have followed your establishment for a while but I will just say my opinion
I am not surprised at this development, I am not going to join other commenters and hive mindedly blame the white man for anything. I check most of your content and it inherently focuses on the white man and whatever it is they do in the continent than the issues plaguing Africa itself. After all, No one can take your lands except if they confirm that it can be taking away from you
if you go around talking about only us bases in Africa without talking about the fact that other nations have bases illegibly (Chinese, Indian etc) in the Africa, why wouldn’t they label you a Putin machine? Even if its not so,
Do you pursue African elements who allow foreign oppression on our lands with the same energy as your obsession with the white man?
do you talk about the Arab colonization and neo colonization with the same energy as you talk about the western colonization?
do you talk about the Arab treatment of Africans too or its only the white man thats Racist?
Do you root out Foreign forms of neo colonization or you just like to focus on the Western part because its easy to find or less covert?
Are you truly For and in the interest of Africans of true pan Africanism or Are You based off Black Nationalism (A foreign washed/Racial idea of pan Africanism)
To me, I don’t see any revolutionary aspect of you, What i see is the same old “White people enemy and are the problems of Africa”
Are you A black person (A designated color and a subset of a region) or Are you an African (An identity of a region)
You wont dare expose Russia or Chinese interests detrimental to us in our lands because they wont even give you a platform to do it AND HERE you are on Western systems and you are shocked at the results
We are not Breaking our Chains, We are simply Changing our masters, The west knows this, The east Knows this and They will act accordingly. We fight western powers but use weapons’ and politics from other powers and we say we are revolutionary or fighting for the African cause. They are confident because This is what they see
Yes You report on African events, Even CNN does…. But when it comes to revolution, There is none because there is a bias and in True pan Africanism, Its all and purely Black Nationalism (And its Foreign because it comes from Blacks mistreated abroad) Our struggles are different, A black European/American Will still be treated fairly because of his country Not the African
We the African’s have An unhealthy obsession with with being victims and being free from the white man so much that we don’t know WE are already free
