43. Exclusive Interview with Momodou Taal

In this episode, our friend Ayoola Babalola converses with Momodou Taal in light of his suspension due to his activism for the Palestinian cause. They cycle through the sequence of events, the punishment meted out, the ways he has tried to appeal his case and the support he has received so far.

They also discuss how one can spread awareness about the ongoing genocide of Palestinians and the ways young Africans who may be ignorant of the ongoing genocide due to quasi-religious sentiments can reorient themselves. The power of social media as a tool in the general scheme of things and the ways Western academic institutions enable the violence and bloodshed are also discussed.
