‘Tanzania is a Geopolitical Battleground in Africa’: David Hundeyin
On June 3, 2026, The Spearhead premiered its debut documentary, ‘What Happened On October 29?’, at the University of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania, a documentary which challenges the Western narrative about the violent, anti-government protests that rocked Tanzania in October 2025, offering an African-centered perspective on these “protests”, and exposing the nefarious, external forces behind them. This East African premiere came 8 days after the documentary’s West African premiere, which was held in Accra, Ghana.
In this excerpt from a panel discussion held immediately after the Dar es Salaam screening, Nigerian investigative journalist and founder of The Spearhead,
@DavidHundeyin, sheds light on the true geopolitical role that the so-called "objective" and "unbiased" media outlets of the West play in Africa's information space, and what Africa's indigenous media must do about it, if the continent is ever to truly prosper.
