There's no useful analysis here, since the author hasn't bothered to ask any protestors why they're protesting, but here's hoping these are more steps towards a Red Africa.

Countries with active or recent protest movements mentioned in the article include Kenya, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Angola, Eswatini, Namibia, Mozambique, and South Africa.

Personally I'd find any protest movements in Zimbabwe, Angola, South Africa, Mozambique or Namibia incredibly suspect to say the least. Those don't sound like a path to a "Red Africa," they sound like a path towards a revitalized colonization of Africa, tbh for all of Uganda and Nigeria's (also mentioned in the article) serious issues it still could sound like a strategic targeting of BRICS member states and applicants in the continent.

Full support to the protesters in Kenya, though. Ruto can get fucked.

Damn, that bad huh? So who are these "young people" leading the protests in places other than Kenya? Petty boog? Color revolutionaries?
