In a recent video, economist Fadhel Kaboub presents a bold thesis: Pan-Africanism is not merely a historical movement but a living framework capable of resetting geopolitics on decolonial Global South terms. The video, published on YouTube, explores how African unity and South-South cooperation can challenge entrenched Western-centric power structures.

Kaboub, known for his work on economic sovereignty and the ‘de-dollarization’ of global finance, argues that Pan-Africanism offers a coherent alternative to neoliberal globalization. He connects the dots between resource sovereignty, regional integration, and a multipolar world order where the Global South sets its own agenda.

For Global South News, this perspective is crucial. It aligns with our editorial mission to amplify voices from the BRICS+ and broader Global South that advocate for a more equitable international system. Kaboub’s analysis resonates with ongoing debates about the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and the push for a new international financial architecture.

The video does not merely critique; it proposes concrete pathways. Kaboub emphasizes that decolonization must go beyond political independence to economic and epistemic liberation. This requires building institutions — from payment systems to development banks — that reflect the interests of the Global South.

While the video is a single contribution, it joins a growing chorus of scholars and activists reimagining global governance. For readers interested in the intersection of Pan-Africanism, decolonial thought, and multipolar geopolitics, this is a must-watch.

Global South News presents this video as part of our commitment to fostering dialogue on how the Global South can shape its own destiny, free from external domination.
