* These appear ''Series/DempseyAndMakepeace'': PlayedWith in Season 7 of ''Series/TwentyFour''. Appropriate to "Silver Dollar." The episode sees S.I.10 dealing with a small but well-armed militant group calling themselves the trope, TheManBehindTheMan is white CorruptCorporateExecutive Jonas Hodges.African Liberation Army who are targeting [[MegaCorp Consolidated Westmore Limited]], first attacking their petrol stations and then when their demands aren't met, poisoning their supplies of cough syrup. Likewise in their demands, they want one million dollars for the company (describing it as a "tax upon their African subsidiaries") and for the company to use their economic influence to facilitate the release of several political prisoners from a specific military dictator of an unnamed nation of their own choice. It's never confirmed if the members are actual Africans or British descendants as they're confirmed to all live in West London (though they all speak with generic African accents) and it overall stumps S.I.10 why they would be seemingly randomly targeting this particular public corporation. [[spoiler: As Makepeace uncovers, they're secretly being exploited by the corrupt executives of Consolidation Westmore to drive down the stock price, allowing them to buy up the shares dirty cheap and thus have greater control of the company after their captured and the share prices return to normal.]]

* A non-human variation in ''VideoGame/Injustice2.'' [[KillerGorilla Gorilla Grodd]], the leader of [[LegionOfDoom the Society]], is already African by dint of being a gorilla(if the name didn't clue you in), but this game ups the ante by introducing Grodd giving an impassioned speech to his gorilla soldiers between two flags, bearing the image of two crossed machetes. [[SarcasmMode Subtle, Netherrealm.]]

They will often be serving as {{mooks}} to a wealthier, lighter-skinned criminal organization, typically {{Western|Terrorists}} or from the former Communist Bloc. Similar to their Middle Eastern counterparts, they are often entirely equipped with surplus Warsaw Pact firearms, supplied by the USSR and China during the UsefulNotes/ColdWar (usually to the Communist revolutionaries in Angola and Mozambique) or bought from other warlords.
