The US has evolved from a former colony into a leading neocolonial power, Gamal Abdel Nasser Jr. has told RT.

In an exclusive interview ahead of International Africa Day, the grandson and namesake of Egypt’s second president and leader of the 1952 Revolution warned that today’s empires no longer rely on direct conflicts, but dominate through international institutions, sanctions, and economic control.

According to Nasser, the legacy of anti-colonial resistance must be revived in the face of modern Western domination, which disguises itself under terms like ‘progress’, ‘human rights’, and ‘globalization’.

”My grandfather shattered the myth that the West’s authority was absolute,” he said, recalling how the 1956 nationalization of the Suez Canal was not just about infrastructure, but about “reclaiming national dignity” and challenging imperial power. “He broke the mental monopoly that had long told our people they cannot resist… cannot rule their own destiny.”
