Notice: Undefined index: catFilterList in /home/zambi/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-likes/api.php on line 243

By Dr. Lawrence Mwelwa A tree without deep roots is easily blown away by the wind. So too are nations built on weak foundations, swayed by the storms of corruption, greed, and short-term power struggles. Africa, a land of immense wealth and untapped potential, has stood at the crossroads of destiny for centuries. Yet, while some nations rise, others remain shackled by extractive institutionsโ€”systems designed not to empower the people but to enrich a few at the expense of many. In Why Nations Fail, Acemoglu and Robinson argue that nations succeed when they build inclusive institutionsโ€”systems that allow their people...

By Bratelli Lupokoma Greetings once again from the Matenda Facilitating Epidemic Zone (MaFEZ), the home of Ba Zungu Tobacco (BZT) and the Big Kashiki family. It has been more than a week since the jaw-dropping spooky revelation, but the nation is still trying to come to terms with the discovery of a skeleton tucked away in a room on a bed -complete with beddings and all, at a house in Lusakaโ€™s Garden Compound. The remains belonged to a husband, whose wife living in the same house with three adult children, insisted he had passed away from โ€œnatural causesโ€ and that...

By Bratelli Lupokoma Hello reader! My name is Kashiki. I am thrilled to be afforded a column in the Rainbow Newspaper. Let me give you ka free leakage: there is nothing ‘rainbowish’ about me, as half the people that associate with me as per manufacturers instructions usually end up in ashes. In simple terms, I kill half the number of those that befriend me. Im sure by now you must think I am a bit of an oddity. I admit i am quite weird actually, but don’t worry, I’ve been normalised โ€“ or rather, my existence has been cleverly crafted...

While the country is going through a tumultuous transition, hopes for a return to constitutional order are fading. The junta leader’s statements about an election year in 2025 raise doubts about the real will to restore democracy. The Republic of Guinea is immersed in a deeply troubled socio-political period, marked by human rights violations and arbitrary arrests of political actors as well as members of civil society. Since the 2021 coup d’รฉtat, the transition to a stable constitutional order has proven to be a source of disillusionment for a large majority of citizens, including those who had initially supported the...
