Listen "Stella Agara: Power, Protest & the New Price of Influence in Africa"
Episode Synopsis
In Episode 15 of Panel 54, Stella Agara a Governance and Youth Development Specialist joins Waweru Njoroge and Ndu Okoh to unpack a continent at a crossroads, where young Africans are pushing back against corruption, foreign influence, and the quiet capture of democracy.
From Kenya’s Gen Z protests to Malawi’s ballot revolution, from China’s growing economic footprint to the shadow of global interests shaping local politics, Stella breaks down how governance, debt, and dependency collide with a new generation unwilling to be silent. The discussion digs into accountability, leadership, and what it means to demand sovereignty in a world still trying to tell Africa how to run its affairs. It is bold, uncomfortable, and necessary — a conversation about power, ownership, and the courage to choose a different future.
