Strong open letter from a group of African writers to @AUC_MoussaFaki & @DrTaxs on the arrest of #Zimbabwe-an journalist #HopewellChinono & the continued silence of @_AfricanUnion and @SADCnews when citizens' rights are trampled upon by member states. theafricareport.com/35715/zimbabaw…
The letter states: "The African Union, an organisation that was quick to tell the world that #BlackLivesMatter in the wake of George Floyd’s murder & other human rights abuses by police in the United States, seems strangely silent about the violation of Black Lives in Africa."
They add: "We fear that as long as Zimbabwe continues to violate its citizens’ rights with impunity, we and fellow writers and journalists are in danger of having our rights violated in the different AU member states while the mother body stays silent."
