“Corporate Plunder”, part 3 of the The Ravaging of Africa radio documentary details the disastrous effects of Royal Dutch Shell’s operations in Nigeria and those of Canada’s Tiomin Resources in Kenya. Also highlighted is the massive tax looting of Africa by Western corporations.

The U.S. has used the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and ongoing militarization to systematically demolish African economies and health and education sectors. This military and economic war enables the looting of Africa’s resources by Western multinational corporations. Washington’s genocidal imperial strategy has killed more than 26 million Africans but failed to suppress popular resistance.

Listen to “Corporate Plunder” with Ifieniya Lott, Mwana Siti B. Juma, Charles Abugre and John Christensen.
