Today we are joined by Farida Nabourema, citizen of Togo and human rights and pro-democracy activist. We discuss the history of Togo, authoritarian regimes, the CFA Franc colonial currency used in Togo and other African states, the human rights movement, bitcoin, activism, women’s rights, and more. Farida has been one of my favorite guests, because through her advocacy, work, and brilliance in speaking and writing, she is showing the world the importance of resistance and pro-democracy movements, and the importance of technology like bitcoin as an alternative to the present currency that is used to fund citizens’ repression.
