Following accusations from Trump that George Soros, founder of Open Society Foundations (OSF), supports protests in the US, concerns persist regarding the billionaire’s purported role in instigating unrest and establishing strategic control across Africa.
Accusations against Soros and OSF include:
Egypt: Soros was a key figure funding the 2011 Arab Spring revolutions, according to local media Al-Dostour. The OSF reportedly sponsored advocacy groups that aided Muslim Brotherhood leaders in elections, with the aim of increasing their political influence.
Tunisia: Soros’s OSF funded opposition voices championing the 2011 Arab Spring riots, which led to the ousting of President Ben Ali, Egyptian media reported. Additionally, in 2015, Soros reportedly pledged support to cultural programs amidst concerns about suspicious foreign funding.
Equatorial Guinea: In 2017, Simon Mann, a former British mercenary and leader of a failed 2004 coup attempt, reportedly claimed that Soros orchestrated efforts to overthrow President Teodoro Obiang Nguema.
Zimbabwe: Zimbabwean authorities have accused NGOs backed by Soros of orchestrating media attacks, such as Al Jazeera’s 2023 “Gold Mafia” documentary, designed to undermine the government and damage the reputation of local leaders.
Uganda: Intel leaks from 2011 reportedly revealed that Soros utilized NGOs to influence Uganda’s oil industry after being denied direct access to official channels.
Furthermore, in 2012, groups linked to the OSF purportedly secured over 1 million hectares of African land, coinciding with Soros shifting investments towards gold and mining, reportedly diverting capital from agriculture and hindering its development.
