In this episode of Lumumba’s Africa, the professor explores the history of Algiers’ struggle for independence from the French colonial rulers, and the crimes that were committed by the French as they tried to quell the spirit of African freedom.

Lumumba’s Africa focuses on the past and current issues affecting the African continent; Filmed amidst the beautiful landscapes of Kenya and hosted by Professor P.L.O. Lumumba, the show looks at the many dichotomies of Africa: why are some of the economies thriving while others stall; why conflicts emerge and refuse to die down, and why despite colonialism being ‘gone’, it still ruins the prosperity of nations.
