  • Immigration: The People are Not the Problem
    The West's treatment of refugees has become one of the most devastating human rights disasters in modern times.We’re joined by Andrei Popoviciu (@AndreiPopoviciu), an independent investigative journalist, reporter, audio producer, and photographer based in Dakar, Senegal. There are countless misconceptions surrounding the refugee crisis, and migration from the Global South to North. We discuss the reasons why people decide to leave their home country, their journey to Europe with associated risks, the militarisation of European borders and the effects of detention centres on mental health. We also explore how public perception and attitudes towards refugees can be improved. Andrei recommended My Fourth Time, We Drowned: Seeking Refuge on the World’s Deadliest Migration Route by Sally Hayden - you can purchase this at most good bookstores.

  • The Comoros: a Neocolonial Split
    Known as Africa's 'secret paradise,' the Comoros Islands are located in the Indian Ocean. Whilst it is is an independent state, the nation faces challenge concerning Mahoré, the fourth island - as it remains under the administration of France, effectively creating an EU border. The living conditions for residents of Ngazidja, Mwali, and Nzwani, the other three islands, continue to be challenging which has compelled many Comorans to reach Mahoré. Over the past two decades, at least 10,000 individuals have tragically lost their lives making this perilous journey to Mahoré. We discuss how this situation came to be.

  • Ghana: Fast Fashion Fallout
    Around 15 million clothing items flood Accra, Ghana every week, mostly from Europe, North America and Australia. These items are mostly donations to charity bins, or cast-offs that are no longer needed. 40% of clothing received in Ghana is unacceptable for use, ending up as waste. Is this the continuation of a colonialist relationship - with the Western world dumping waste on the continent? We discuss. Follow us on IG: itsacontinentpod and Twitter: itsacontinent.
