The Goats Are Angry

A Novel

What happens when a goat becomes the most trusted politician in Africa?

In the Federal Democratic Republic of Alkebulan, a goat named Professor headbutts a colonial statue and urinates in a government minister's tea. The video goes viral. #GoatPower trends globally. Suddenly, everyone is asking: Are the goats trying to tell us something?

Failed philosophy graduate Mphatso finds himself thrust into the spotlight as the "Goat Whisperer." Investigative journalist Aminata uncovers a conspiracy involving foreign development funds and livestock consciousness experiments. Village elder Mama Talitha organizes the most unlikely march in political history. And President Mufasa IV discovers that governing is much harder when citizens trust farm animals more than politicians.

When the government spends millions studying goat psychology, creates a "Ministry of Livestock and National Security," and ultimately negotiates with actual goats in Parliament, something has gone wonderfully wrong. Or maybe, finally, something has gone right.

Part political satire, part magical realism, The Goats Are Angry is a hilariously subversive tale about democracy, development, and what it really means to be free.

Set in a fictional pan-African state where Chinese roads lead nowhere and European aid creates more problems than it solves, this novel skewers neocolonialism while celebrating authentic resistance. Think Animal Farm meets Things Fall Apart in a comedy club.

Sometimes the most profound truths come from the most unexpected teachers. Sometimes the best way to fix a broken system is to let the goats take over.

The goats are angry. The people are awakening. Democracy will never be the same.
