🇸🇳#Senegal: only peaceful transfers of power since independence!
Rich & rare tradition of #democracy in W. #Africa.
Sadly, past 2 presidents toyed with 3rd terms.
Wade tried in 2012 & triggered violence.
Now Pres. Macky Sall @Macky_Sall flirts with same destructive idea.

I was working from #Senegal in 2012 & saw how far then-President Wade had gone astray from initial high hopes.
Like bringing in North Koreans to erect a pricey monument, then demanding a 35% cut of ticket prices because he felt the idea was his intellectual property.

One opposition figure seen in the streets?
Now-president @Macky_Sall
11 years later, he's considering the same play.
You'd think he would remember the forces his predecessor unleashed.

I took a break so let's talk, It's been a while. Having an intense training in #Senegal while #Gaza is under attack & worrying about my family, friends & people there is taking a toll & I want to openly share with U since I used #Twitter as a space therapeutic space from day 1.
As humanitarians & activists we find ourselves between 1-wanting to stay strong & always speak up without sharing frustration & exhaustion because it's less about us & more about the cause/people we represent, & 2-Being told to shut up, conform, compromise & just silently accept.
We often push ourselves past any limit, we work hard & we put ourselves last. We tend to not want to be labeled as those who always speak up fearing the "troublemaker" label. I often find some us being gaslit into oppressing our trueselves to not rock any boats.

En 652, le traité (bakht) de soumission des Nubiens aux conquérants arabo-islamiques stipule article 5 : “vous livrerez chaque année 360 esclaves de qualité à l’imam des musulmans.”
👉 la traite négrière est désormais inventée et planifiée.

En théorie certains hadiths de l’islam protège le noir musulman de l’esclavage.

A 🧵 about ethical ways to build an image bank in #comdev, #globaldev:
At @Streetnet1, we never had a professional image bank until last year. That's when we made the decision to hire professional photographers in each region we work to take pictures-especially portraits. (1/6)
At @Streetnet1, we never had a professional image bank until last year. That's when we made the decision to hire professional photographers in each region we work to take pictures-especially portraits. (1/6)
We wanted portraits of street vendors doing their work in a dignified way. But we did not want these vendors to be anonymous faces. We put the photographers in contact with our affiliates on the ground to capture their members, their names, their stories (with permission). (2/6)
That is why I can tell you, for example, that this vendor's name is Oeun Malis, and she is a member of our affiliate IDEA in #Cambodia. She's been vending for 5 years & was 28 years old at the time.

#Senegal: Pape Alé Niang, director of the privately owned Senegalese news website Dakarmatin, was released January 10 on bail under the condition that he refrains from traveling or speaking about his case.

cpj.org/2023/01/senega…
“The continued legal harassment of journalist Pape Alé Niang showcases the lengths Senegalese authorities are willing to go to intimidate the press and only further entrenches concerns over the country’s slide from democratic governance,” said @angelaquintal, @CPJAfrica.

This year we witnessed some of the greatest challenges to open society values of our time. I'm hopeful that we can look to the progress we anticipate what’s over the horizon for this next year. Here are a few things that give me hope for 2023.
We were reminded in January that justice is possible with a landmark verdict in the first torture trial against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime.

1. This is the first time the World Cup is being played in a Muslim country, and only the second outside of the traditionally Christian world. The first was South Korea & Japan in 2002.
2. 2002 also marked the furthest a traditionally Muslim country ever progressed in the World Cup, with #Turkey placing 3rd, after beating South Korea in a very exciting game.
1/29. It’s day eleven of #COP27 and it was a busy day in #SharmElSheikh with press conferences by @CANIntl and the G77 and China, the #PeoplesPlenary, a @COP27P event on Cultural Heritage, an HoD meeting on the cover decision and #LossAndDamage side events throughout the day. 🧵
2/29.#LossAndDamage side events kicked of this morning with an event on Non-Economic #LossAndDamage (#NELD): “Losing the Irreplaceable: #LossAndDamage, #Culture & Heritage” at the #ResilienceHub.
3/29. During the event, @nusrat_naushin highlighted that in areas where intense saltwater intrusion is happening Non-Economic #LossAndDamage is taking place: “#Women and small children are bearing the brunt. People are losing their hair, women are having gynaecological issues.”
