Moussa Ibrahim

I spoke officially for Gaddafi, a son of Africa. Today I speak, albeit not officially, for another son of Africa: Ibrahim Traoré.

Nasserism isn’t nostalgia. It’s strategy. Gamal Abdel Nasser didn’t dream of Egypt alone. He imagined an Afro-Arab front that could shatter colonial borders, challenge Western hegemony, and build a sovereign Global South. He saw Cairo not as the endpoint but the launchpad,…

Palestine was never a footnote in Nasser’s politics. It was the frontline. He saw in Zionism not just an occupation of land, but a global system of racial capitalism, settler colonialism, and imperial domination. The same Western powers that funded Israel also armed apartheid…

The conditions that gave birth to Nasserism have not disappeared. They have evolved. Today, resource extraction happens through digital monopolies and climate finance. The IMF still imposes austerity. The dollar still dominates global trade. Sanctions still destroy nations. But…

Nasser’s Global South vision was not rhetorical. It was operational. He rejected Bretton Woods, refused conditional Western aid, and championed South-South cooperation. Cairo Radio broadcast in Swahili and Hausa. Egyptian doctors, teachers, and engineers worked across Africa. He…

Nasserism is often reduced to Arab socialism, but Nasser was not a doctrinaire Marxist. His reforms — land redistribution, education, nationalization — were not the end goal. They were tools. His socialism was anti-imperialist, rooted in dignity and resistance, not ideology. He…

Arab unity and African liberation were not separate causes for Nasser. They were two fronts of the same war. He rejected the artificial divide between Francophone and Anglophone Africa, just as he fought the Sykes-Picot borders that fractured the Arab world. He understood that…

Nasser did not see Egypt’s Africanness as symbolic. It was geographic, historic, and revolutionary. The Nile linked Cairo to the heart of the continent, and the colonial chains that bound Africa also shackled Egypt. That’s why he co-founded the Organization of African Unity in…

Nasserism was never just Egyptian or Arab. It was a global liberation vision. Cairo became a revolutionary hub that armed Algeria’s FLN, sheltered Mandela and Cabral, and helped found the Non-Aligned Movement. Nasser saw liberation as a wave, radiating outward from Egypt to the…

More than half a century after his passing, Nasser’s voice still echoes in Gaza’s ruins, the Sahel’s resistance, and the classrooms of Algiers and Addis Ababa. For the Global South, Nasserism is not nostalgia. It is necessity. A liberation strategy still unmatched.

“The emancipation of women is not an act of charity.. it is a fundamental necessity for the revolution.” – Samora Machel At ALF, we honor the women who carried Africa’s liberation on their backs and continue to shape its future. #SamoraMachel #PanAfricanism #ALF #WomensLiberation

The conflict in our region has never been a struggle between regimes and peoples, nor between sects or ideologies. Rather, it is a fundamental conflict between two projects: the project of domination and fragmentation (which is a Western project), and the project of liberation…

As the Syrian conflict unfolded, its real purpose emerged: the dismantling of the state, enabling foreign intervention, and producing sectarian and regional entities begging for outside protection killing any hope for unity.

From the very start, what happened in Syria mirrored the failures of the so-called Arab Spring. It was fragile, confined within narrow state borders, and consumed by hollow democratic slogans, detached from any true liberation project.

What was called a “revolution” in Syria was not a liberation project grounded in an understanding of the central conflict in the region. It was a narrow, identity based movement driven by fragmented demands and disconnected from any historical perspective or comprehensive Arab…

The fighting in Suwayda, the internal split within the Druze community between allegiance to foreign powers and national commitment, the crimes of al-Julani’s extremist militias, and the repeated Zionist aggression against Damascus these are not isolated incidents. They form a…

The antidote to ethnic division isn’t nationalism. It’s Pan-African socialism. One economy, one destiny, one revolution. Let’s teach our children they are Africans first, before clan, before sect, before state.

Nyerere taught us that freedom without unity is an illusion. His vision of African socialism was not a dream. It was a roadmap. We carry it still.

Colonialism taught us to fear the “other.” But in reality, African liberation was always collective, Muslims and Christians marched together in Algeria, blacks and whites fought apartheid in SA, workers and farmers built revolutions.

Western media loves the phrase “ethnic tensions.” But rarely do they ask: who profits? Oil firms, arms dealers, mining giants, they love a divided Africa. The deeper the wound, the easier the extraction.

At the African Legacy Foundation, we are here to strengthen what already binds us, our shared memory, our struggle for liberation, and our belief in unity across the continent. #KwameNkrumah #ALF #AfricanUnity
