Ghana Must Go (Part 2)
In 1983, Nigeria ordered millions of undocumented immigrants to leave within weeks: an event that became known as “Ghana Must Go.” But this story didn’t begin there. We trace the deep history of migration between Ghana and Nigeria, from cooperation and shared opportunity to economic crisis and political tension. Through accounts, we look at how mass expulsions unfold, why migrants are often scapegoated, and what these decisions really cost.

Ghana Must Go (Part 1)
Ghana is often remembered for the 1980s “Ghana Must Go” expulsions of migrants from Nigeria. But years earlier, Ghana carried out one of West Africa’s largest expulsions. In this episode, we explore the Aliens Compliance Order, when hundreds of thousands of migrants were ordered to leave within two weeks. Why did Ghana introduce the policy, and what were the consequences? Plus in our PSA, we spotlight comedian Ayoade Bamgboye, who is on tour.

Resisting Empire: Eduardo Mondlane
This episode of our Resisting Empire series tells the story of Eduardo Mondlane: scholar, activist, and founding president of Mozambique’s liberation movement, FRELIMO. Born under Portuguese rule, Mondlane’s early encounters with colonial oppression shaped his lifelong beliefs. He used every opportunity to challenge the systems of empire that sought to define him. As FRELIMO’s leader, Mondlane blended intellect with strategy, urging that true freedom meant building a fair and inclusive society. His assassination in 1969 cut short his vision, but his words, a luta continua “the struggle continues” became a rallying cry for Mozambique’s fight for independence and for liberation movements across Africa. https://culturecustodian.com SOURCES: Africa Today Vol. 26, No. 1 (1st Qtr., 1979), pp. 19-24 (6 pages)Published By: Indiana University Press Review of African Political Economy, Vol. 32, No. 104/105, Oiling the Wheels of Imperialism (Jun. - Sep., 2005), pp. 309-315 FRELIMO (Britannica article) Sansone, L.
