That means fuck ECOWAS as a tool of the oppressors also. Critical support for every coup in Africa, and for the rights of Africans to demand the French and US militaries leave their country.

Critical Readings:

  • Neocolonialism by Kwame Nkrumah.
  • How Europe Underdeveloped Africa by Walter Rodney.
  • Rethinking Ownership of Development in Africa by T.D. Harper-Shipman.

This article from the same source suggests China is at 54% of Zambia's debt, which is massive for a single country based off the other graphs: https://chinaglobalsouth.com/2023/05/31/how-zambias-debt-mix-is-forecast-to-evolve/

Yep! Zambia is the only country where the numbers don't immediately disprove the debt trap narrative.

Contrasting Zambia's numbers with the percentage of China's total African debt percentage only highlights how low it is in other African countries.
