Tucker Carlson interviewed Zimbabwe President Mnangagwa at the World Government Summit in Dubai, and the exchange revealed something powerful about Africa's changing position in global politics. At the World Government Summit 2026, Tucker asked President Mnangagwa about China, land reform, and the recent Venezuela situation-but the answers he got challenged Western narratives in ways that signal a major shift in how African leaders engage with Western media.

Exactly, Africa doesn't need to Justify themselves to anyone.
But African leaders need to stop being greedy and selfish but being honest and responsible to their states. They are not forever untitled to lead
From Tucker's 3 questions I call upon the West to tell what the Black God are implying by these. 1."The gods who didn't create the Heavens and the Earth will perish on earth" 2."I Am God, my Glory I give to no One", 3"Take counsel, it will come to NOTHING" 4."Pride goes before a FALL" 5.Whatever a man sows that he shall reap"6.The Kingdom of God is not a Kingdom of Words but of POWER" Let all the Westerners mirror themselves in light of these verses, therein are hidden mysteries of your judgement and destruction. I have spoken
Except their own poor abused peoples
@VisionMbili-g4wthey get that way because of that loaded question type regarding Maduro
They do that to leaders and most of the time these leaders are the only leaders we have
This kind of response shows Africans are still traumatized by colonialism. Tucker was not asking to take sides but rather which investor was chosen by Africa when 'pleasing themselves' - he literally said 'get a better deal'. You also ignored the personality of Tucker who was happy to give the opportunity for Africans to explain why they HAVE ALREADY chosen Chinese investment over western investment.
As a black American man I am proud of my African family. Please take control of the destiny of Africa. It will change the world for the better
Donot Fear !!!!😊
As a Proud Jamaican i am proud of my African family!!!! We are one!!!
We are proud of you too brother! Jamaica home of freedom fighters, joined the fight to defeated apartheid system in South Africa and fought to helped Zimbabwe gained it true independent. Big-Up my brother. Check the Reggae song - Zimbabwe By I and I, super star, brother Bob Marley!
Jamaica - home of the industrial Revolution. Yes, The Industrial revolution was a stolen technology from our African Ancestors in Jamaica and taken to Manchester in England. I am talking about African metallurgist who are brought in Jamaica..
Zimbabwe love you back! We have always had good relations with y’all. Bob Marley came to play on our inaugural Independence Day celebrations. Ziggy still talks about that experience as his favourite moment with his father.
Big love in law.... From 🇨🇬
@CoalbeyGustav-un7uryep Zimbabwe is special to Hanauca. It was Bob Marleys most favourite country outside of Jamaica.
❤ as a Nigerian American I’m proud of Ghana, Jamaica, and Barbados.
We neither look east nor west, we look forward.
look forward and move backwards 😭
@ricenebeans😂😂😂😂😂😂
Famous quote by another African visionary, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah❤❤
😂😂❤
@ricenebeans hilarious - but actually not true. In the information age as third worlders we are certainly rife with strife, but every problem is put on blast while we forget about the problems we use to face as a continent. We have our autonomy, give us time to reconcile the rest.
Proud African!!
❤
Africa is indeed rising. We don’t please the east or west. We please ourselves. Very profound statement for my generation.
Are they pleasing themselves by way of burdening other countries?
Remember the illegal influx of Zimbabweans into the borders of other countries. Sometimes arrogance does not pay bills.
Profound
Show one African country that is rising.
@tirandaz7612👈🏽 Maga 😏
@tirandaz7612just liv Africans alone
I'm from Tanzania buh with Zimbabwean President Africa will rise again
And also the strength of leaders like in Burkino Faso
& so, it will be. 🌟Amen 🌟🙏
It’s easy to be “black power” from the outside looking in. Bravado and pride will not help the people of Zimbabwe. Ending extractive deals with China, Chinese exploitation, corruption, cronyism and cruelty by leaders like Mnangagwa is what is needed.
No
@TendaSithole that’s needed for the entire continent. Once leaders start putting the people first, everything will follow
They always fight for theirs intereste,they sanctions you when you don't dance to theirs music
Ingenuity Tribe leader Ian Smith had that same betrayal from the West. Draconian sanctions.
It's time to turn the table on them.
Africa you are a lion don’t let hyena get on your table ✊🏾
😂😂. Come'on' if your are Lion then west is hyper giant bear 😂
Proudly Zimbabwean 🇿🇼
Proud of you guys!!
We 🇿🇦 Love Zimbabweans but not Rhodesians and their supporters DA, FF plus, dutchforum and Solidarity.
😂😂😂 That's why they're pleading for farmers to come back.
Proud Zimbo
Amen
Zimbabwe boss answered very very well.
I love it. Let them underestimate our ability and we continue to build
What if Jewish and royal European and US bankers hold entire african continent and the world by its balls then 😂. What will you do what will the world do. Nothing other than shouting raging baffling 😂lol
Good plan.
It's what happened with China. We (in the West) were so busy saying China was inferior and copying us and stealing from us etc etc we were caught completely unawares when it emerged as a superpower with capacities we couldn't compete with.
@myla6135 in terms of Market and and investment and even military strength they are our ( US) biggest competitors on the planet
Bigger and stronger than Russia
They don't underestimate you, they work hard to suppress you because they KNOW your potential and value.
Building what 😂
President Mnangagwa showed the brilliance of our leadership
I wish we had him :)
@glenstephen7234we have him and he is not brilliant
No.
@glenstephen7234come get him...as Zimbabwean we tired of speeches but what they do on the ground is terrible.
africans a liberate zimbabwe” ~ bob marley 🇯🇲✊🏿🇿🇼
Tucker's last statement wasn't a question, but a threat.
Africa unite! 💪🏿
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
I was hoping that I wasn't the only one who recognized that. I truly hope in all the negotiations Africa is making with China, Russia, and Korea, I hope some of those deals are for weapons technology because we know the West doesn't stop.
Africa is far from US, nor taking a leader out in africa, will fire up many pther nations Venezuella movement had consequences but better payoffs, doing the same in africa will bring Africa unitied against america and west and other powers will intervene as China have way higher credbility and resources to protect in africa. Unlike venezuella. Very very unlikely mvoement unless leaders openly defy Trump and start taking over american companies or be hostile to americans physically, there is no reward.
He didn't threaten but waking them up.
@michaelchipwende931 Rubbish
Brilliant analysis. Thats our Zimbabwean president representing us well.
I watched the whole meeting, and I had the exact same assessment. They did a great job answering his questions without actually answering any questions. Smart move! Tucker was definitely trying to box them in with his own opinions on some things. They didn't buy the foolishness.
Exactly
The Botswana president actually returned the threat.
Really proud of him.
Really proud.
Idk how you don’t have a million subscribers, your a Top tier journalist your overall coverage should certified what you report as Top Tier Journalism
Excellent analysis and breakdown. Thank you for sharing the African view with those of us who don't often get to hear it. I am enjoying multipolarity.
A caucasian Western European myself : so am i. ( just wanted to let you know that you also have "my" kind of audience ) Cheers 🥂 , j-0-b
Go Zimbabwe go, thanks for this brilliant analysis
Can't stand Tucker, he pretends to be a good guy, he ain't!!!
He is patronising so and so
Yeah, he 'apologised' for his stance on Iraq.
That makes it all better now....🙄
White people always stick together even if they cut each other's mother's throat they would still stick together against a black person😮
I think he's truly doing the best with what he has and knows. But yeah that question felt disrespectful.
@RealityApeHe goes around showing black and brown people being blown up and then cries white genocide.
It is amazing how Africa is waking up, congratulations from an Uruguayan (Latin America).
Right?! I am glad for them too.
Right on ! Now is you guy's turn. Just imagine Africa and South America, the world's two most heavily resource rich continents combining efforts to industrialize, trade amongst each other, and have exclusive co-operation between the two as formally colonized places of the world. Granted it would take some time, but both continents could be calling the shots in this world with absolute command of their resources.
As Dominican 🇩🇴 I've been following and am soso happy.
If only other Africa leader's will follow the blue print of the AES Africa will drastically changed
Absolutely, I believe they eventually will.
Within a very short period of time
Thank you brother for unmasking imperialism despite imposed on sunctions we as Zimbabweans have learnt reasons of owning means of production and most of us are doing good through self reliance projects
Great to hear and I pray yall will succeed and thrive long live Zimbabwe
Your analysis is top notch, your video editing and commentry is top tier
Much appreciated!❤❤❤
@AfricaToday1 I've always known Cameroonians to be super smart. Keep rising!
Very top notch!
Africa: Tucker was playing checkers with the same old playbook. The three African Presidents were playing chess with a whole new playbook and a whole set of new rules. Africa unite!💜🇯🇲🇨🇦
The question remains, is China a better deal than the West?
Exactly
@mothowee675yes. China is the better deal.
@MW-no8vq So why not just be bold and say it. Why dance around the question? We please ourselves, is it? Then give the pointers of how it is working out?
@mothowee675i cant understand what youre saying.
I also told my husband when we watched, that Tucker was trying to trap the President. But Mnangagwa was seeing right through him.
It wasn't a trap, people keep saying China is treating Africa better, well say it on the world stage or forever remain a coward.
You are the coward with no emotional intelligence because you didn't get the answer you wanted. What "people" did you poll to get this assertion?@mothowee675
They better
As a Zimbabwean I like your analysis, it's a good take.
Economic analysis without numbers is not analysis at all. It's empty talk.
Love Mama Africa united.
Cheers from Morocco 🇲🇦
Sanctions is part of their game for leaders who doesn't want to work for them, this sanctions brings political division and economy struggle, same game in Venezuela, we are seeing it in Iran but IRAN has stand strong against all their sanctions
Sanctions are an act of war and a war crime.
Africa looking far more independent and democratic than the West by now. Feeling totally like our governments are captured here. Love from London, stay independent
why is tucker even there is the question
They love to elevate mediocrity.
I did NOT know zimbabwe was movin like that. Nigeria has to change, they are very imprtant to the west or to africa. In fact the whole of ECOWAS, but Nigeria has a lot of young ppl. AES is amazing, smth is happening. Im so happy
Tinubu must Step aside
ECowas is owned and funded primarily by the EU primarily by France! ECowas is not what you think, it is a tool to keep Africa where it is today, natural resources benefiting primarily Europe and keeping Africa in poverty! This position has to change for the sake of the world.
@JaneDoe19635 oh no i know ECOWAS is bad. Most organizations created to help black people have a foreigner's hand in it. Even on their board there's a bunch of europeans and i think americans. They dont care for the ppl. I mean they condemned AES...
ECOWAS and Nigeria aren't measuring at all. Nigeria is a dead country.
I always say ,their is a move of God back to Africa.
Great reporting Sir. Thank you so much. RISE GREAT AFRICA.
Long live Zimbabwe.We are our own liberators
Ibrahim Traore has already said it,it all logic they don't want us to develop , Africa with his vast resources is a bigger power house we only need the leader's who understands the assignment behind this logic
Ibrahim Traore single handedly is bringing Africa up.
As a South African I can only hope we get someone like Traore in power some day.
The man is more interest in improving the country and lives of the people than robbing the country
It is not that simple to develop just by chosing leaders.
You need to prepare to resist endless violence from colonizers. Look at what they doing to iran..
The whole world should be rooting for you to rise because humanity cannot and will not rise without you. The colonizers hatred and jealousy is their own destruction.
Ibrahim is in the pockets of the elites. Don’t be fooled, if he meets with Putin that is a indication. If you know all the powers that be, you’ll know Putin is a actor as is the Chinese President. Our leaders are still sellouts, it’s the people who will change and free themselves.
@oogunn9459if improving his country makes a bit of money and furthers putins goals as well it's still better.
Long live Africa ❤
People underrated President Munangagwa that man is very patient and intelligent he dsnt move until he see the need to
Good leaders must also give opportunity for the young ones to take over. That's where RG and ED's weak point is.
@masvingozimutoyou wrong they are you leaders in the party who are mentored
young leaders are immature. they talk big words about democracy and western liberalism. We dont eat democracy. We need develoment and self belief as a people. We eat from the land to reclaim our resources
Wonderful channel, thanks 🙏
The sound is better now… that’s Mnangagwa for you, his speeches are always sarcastic 😂 l am especially proud of his responses on the Global stage. Zimbabwe🇿🇼 is for Zimbabweans whether we mismanage the land or not and so is Africa
Zimbabwe is for Zimbabweans so we see the roads that are used by select Zimbabweans are well taken care of. Those of some Zimbabweans are full of potholes. police have to make roadblocks to earn their salaries. Who are the Zimbabweans for zimbabwe?
@patriciahino1379even Rome was not built in one day 🤷🏾
@patriciahino1379 That's what i was about to say. Who is "we"?, because most Zimbabweans aren't benefiting from those Chinese investors except for a few and some government officials. So when they are talking about Zimbabweans , they are talking about themselves not us. Hatina kupusa!!
@Tsitsi414this isn't Rome it's Zimbabwe
@mandlandlovu6310 Exactly, that’s the whole point 😎
GREAT STUFF VERY INFORMATIVE.
A great analysis of historical events in Africa.
brilliant breakdown thank you.
Times like this I feel very proud to be a Zimbabwean Ed Pfeeeee Shumba Murambwi ✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊💪💪💪💪💪🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼
Proudly Zimbabwean!!
非州加油❤😂🎉❤😂🎉
Great analysis...May black Africa rise
🙌🏼
Excellent analysis and commentary.❤
It's refreshing to see Africa move with purpose and strategy. Africa is strong and moving with global impact. ❤ 💪🏽🌍
Proud Zimbabwean 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thankyou for the video.
Proudly Zimbabwean
Rise, love your reporting. Positive and affirming.
You can’t stop a flood with many holes in the dam.
Tell that to Egypt:)
🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼
He spoke from the position of knowledge and experience.
God bless Africa 🙏🏼
The answers by the Zimbabwean president is very clever. He side stepped the boxes. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Actually, Zimbabwe is a failed state. Millions of Zimbabweans have fled mostly to South Africa to find a better life. That policy of kicking out white farmers, who contributed vastly to the economy, was Zimbabwe's death knell.
@leonardolupini3484 I admit Zimbabwe had issues but the coordinated sanctions pushed Zimbabwe to the brink. Just like America has done and continues to do to Cuba. African nations get punished for standing up for themselves / not going with the west. The land belongs to the blacks and there are people still alive who were had their land stolen and were “resettled” to reserves or “keeps” which were not fertile
You still live in the past. Zimbabwe has massively improved since, update your knowledge
@paulynmoneke3764 i was in Zim recently. Everything is in disrepair. I saw it with my own eyes. SA is going the same way. Maintaining standards, and law and order, is apparently not important to the so-called 'liberation movements'
@paulynmoneke3764 As a Zimbabwean, I am disappointed with this comment. Maybe it's propaganda that lead people to belive the opposite of reality. Zimbabwe has reached rock bottom in terms of corruption, unemployment, dictatorship i can go on and on but its basically everything. We have no proper state only greed people in power. Civil servants earn 250 usd per month and you call that improvement?
Enjoyed watching this!!
Bare in mind that the Zimbabwean president is 83 years old.
Naked thought!
He looks younger than Trump though. Black don't crack😅
AAAANd
Awesome breakdown!!
It's so refreshing to hear a wise African Leader speak 😊
Great analysis, great presentation - great Africa!
Tucker Carlson is a 3 alphabet shill. He speaks from both sides of his mouth. Trusting him is like playing with a scorpion tail
Great info, good sound! Thanks from Sweden ❤🎉
Africa is indeed rising. We are moving forward. Well done, President Mnangagwa.
Thank you for the analysis
Exactly my brother. The Tucker's question about Venezuela looked to me like a threat to African leaders. But thanks to the response he got.
You caught it. That Venezuela question wasn't casual - it was "you saw what we just did to another sanctioned president, right?"
And Mnangagwa's response was perfect: create distance, question the information, stay curious but non-committal. No sound bite Tucker could use against him.
Smart leaders know when they're being sent a message. Smarter ones know how to receive it without flinching.
Sharp observation 👊
Can't wait to watch and looking forward to it!!!
You are right on point in your very smart framing. However, if you watch Tucker's podcasts, he frames leading provocative questions, not for his own agenda, but to evoke responses that build tension and reveal the underbelly of the oppressive foreign policy by some countries or international organizations. He went on to interview the deputy president and former finance minister of Venezuela. We have brilliant Afrikan presidents for sure because they gave answers we are proud of. Afrika rising for real
Fair pushback - and you're right that Tucker interviews people mainstream Western media won't touch. The Venezuela deputy president interview is a good example of that.
Here's how I see it: Tucker's questions can both expose W*sternn hyp0cr1sy *and* carry specific frames. Those aren't mutually exclusive.
His Venezuela coverage calls out US empire behavior. True. But his China question to Mnangagwa still assumed Africa must choose a patron rather than operate independently.
Both can be happening at once. Tucker's more honest than CNN about power, but he still brings assumptions to the table.
Either way, you're absolutely right that our leaders handled it well. That's what matters most.
Appreciate the challenge - keeps my analysis sharper 👊
@AfricaToday1 Got it! You said it well. In fact, Tucker gets lambasted by American media and influencers for exactly the same thing; framing his exclusive interview low-key for a powerful constituency that overtly or covertly is on a political or geo-political agenda. I love it that you are able to dissect it to empower Afrika and her leaders to navigate that ideological ecosystem. You are my absolute global favorite podcast
Why Afrika and Afrikan (setlers, by the way). Pls. It's Africa and African.
Mexican American here, and what a great analysis you have given. Your comment section speaks volumes. Within just a minute or two of watching, I had to like/subscribe. Don't stop what you are doing. You have a gift.
I wish we black and brown could be together as a people this land belongs to the Mexican and the Indian who invited us black people over here centuries ago and keep the white man under our foot if they refuse to play fair😮
Great president indeed ❤❤❤ from Nigeria
Thank you for the truth my good brother. ♥️
Highly appreciate this analysis! Excellent!
I'm glad this came across my feed.
You have really hit the nail on the head. Excellent content ❤❤
Honestly best narrative voice. Thank you for your video
☺️We please ourselves now and forever.
Viva MK, EFF, SACP, ATM, Mayibuye
Africa Unite!
✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿🇿🇼🇿🇼🔥🔥🔥
Great lets go! Loved this video and shared it in my socials
I myself Zimbabwean needed this interpretation l knew there was more to this but didn’t get it
I Love this.
Great job I love your channel. Thank you for allowing us to hear part of the summit. Zimbabwe's President was excellent in responding to the questions. I could also see how Tucker Carlson was sweating. ❤
His face turned red😅
Exceptional analysis
Even though I live in the US, I'm always happy to Africa rise and get it's respect from some world leaders, keep rising Africa! ❤
This is a great channel. I really appreciate hearing from other country’s/continents points of view.
4:13 he didn't answer because he didn't want to anger either side
We as Africans DO NOT need a side.
@austinlawan3289he was asking which countries "make better business partners."
Nobody said anything about "needing" anyone. Your response (and the guy in the video) is to immediately get defensive and answer a question that was not asked. Why so defensive? Have you taken a page from isreal and decided that, no matter the context, you are always the victim?
If anything Tucker was probably trying to get to why many African countries have switched from business with "The West" to business with China and Russia.
The fact that you took this as "who do you need to be your leader" is very telling about your mentality
Thank you so much sir, it is very profound 👍👍
Sir you do a fantastic analysis of these situations. My hat is off to you!
Love your analysis. Kudos
Great Rebuttal from the Zimbabwean President.We Africans are proud of his answers
🇿🇼
Some African leaders are aware now they know what they want.
This brings joy to my heart.
The whites also sabotaged the black farmers of Zimbabwe
@kerimaabu1359
An embargo not only sabotages farmers, but the entire economy, especially during this long period when unipolar international relations were the rule imposed on the weak by the West.
Yes Rhodesians sabotaged Zimbabwean Farmers . Fortunately they're now doing very well, thanks to their Resilience . South AFRICA 🇿🇦 is next, no surrender.
Are you Zimbabwean?
@simba8665 why would he say that if he isn't???
@tbdan3793 Rhodesia was under Western sanctions for years, but they progressed economically. Under the white rule, Rhodesia was the breadbasket of Africa. Under the black rule everything collapsed and Zimbabwe became the beggar of Africa.
You are a Great Analyst ‼️‼️‼️ And love listening to your credible and very enlightening analysis !!!
Keep up the Great work 👍‼️
Thank you! You too!
Great summary!!
Excellent analysis 👏👏
