About
Anthills of the Savannah is a searing satire of political corruption and social injustice - and a potent reminder of the problems still facing Africa today.
In the fictional West African nation of Kangan, newly independent of British rule, the hopes and dreams of democracy have been quashed by a fierce military dictatorship. Chris Oriko is a member of the cabinet of the president for life, one of his oldest friends. When the president is charged with censoring the oppositional editor of the state-run newspaper - another childhood friend - Chris's loyalty and ideology are put to the test. The fate of Kangan hangs in the balance as tensions rise and a devious plot is set in motion to silence a firebrand critic.
