Der #Dschihad breitet sich in #Afrika aus, während der #Westen die Augen verschliesst
#Dschihadisten morden, vergewaltigen, foltern, entführen, versklaven und verbrennen Menschen bei lebendigem Leib – in ganz Afrika und jetzt auch in #Syrien . Kürzlich auf X veröffentlichte Videos zeigen, dass syrische #Islamisten mit #Alawiten dasselbe tun wie die #Hamas mit #Juden , die in der Nähe von Gaza leben. Christen, Drusen und Jesiden in Syrien – wie auch ihre nicht-muslimischen oder nicht-arabischen Geschwister in Afrika – fürchten, die Nächsten zu sein.
British Nigerian artist Karl Ohiri was shocked to hear that many photographers in Lagos, Nigeria, burned their old negatives, so he embarked on a project to develop whatever he could find. Here, @thecontinent shares some of the photos that form the Lagos Studio Archives.

Amadou Balaké – Super Bar Konon Mousso

Although the video says it was recorded in Lagos in 1978, the reality, as Discogs states and as many musicians and bands did at that time, is that Amadou Balaké (or Ballaké) from Burkina Faso gathered musicians in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.
Criminalizing poverty in Nigeria
With thousands jailed without trial, Nigeria’s justice system punishes the poor while the powerful walk free. Can real reform break this cycle of injustice?

Tigritude by Wole Soyinka
The quote about Tigritude below is a reaction of the first generation of Anglophone writers in the 60s to the older tradition of French Négritude theory (Léopold Sédar Senghor & Aimé Césaire).

Electric tricycles are a ticket to respect and prosperity for some rural women in #Zimbabwe | AP News (2025-03-22)

“In many parts of rural sub-Saharan Africa, women have long been excluded from mainstream economic activities such as operating public transportation. However, three-wheelers powered by green energy are reversing that trend, offering financial opportunities and a newfound sense of importance.”
“… the tricycles are powered by solar-charged lithium-ion batteries. Mobility for #Africa, a local startup, piloted the project in 2019 by leasing the vehicles to groups of women for $15 a month. Today, individual women like Bhobho can own them through a lease-to-purchase program.”
“The United Nations environmental program is introducing electric two and three-wheelers in nine countries, mostly in East Africa. In #Nigeria, a green energy firm and the United Kingdom’s Foreign Office are providing 120 electric three-wheelers to women…”
