dc.descriptionIssue 3278 of West Africa Magazine (May 19, 1980) tackles Africa's complex relationships, military power plays, and nuclear ambitions. Published in London/distributed in Apapa, it covers President Senghor's criticism of French neo-colonialism, Uganda's military takeover, and Nigeria's nuclear hopes. Key stories: “The French connection” notes Senghor's harsh critique; “Military return to power” highlights Uganda's coup; Franco-African summit focuses on economics, not politics. Elsewhere: Nigeria's nuclear ambitions (Enukora Joe Okoli), journalism ethics (Vera Ifudu case), Ghana's secret court-martial (Dateline Africa), and oil industry labor issues (Economic news). A mix – geopolitics, power struggles, and press freedom.
