#Fulani herders are once again being threatened with expulsion in central #Ghana. Here’s some context on what’s going on, based on some of my work over the last year.
Earlier this week Tabital Pulaaku Ghana, a civil society group focused on issues affecting Fulani communities, issued a statement “pleading” with a paramount chief in Ashanti region to not evict Fulani herders from his area.
The expulsion order was issued in response to a surge in crime around Ejura which is being blamed on Fulani herders. “We’ll kill any cattle found in any village,” he told a gathering of chiefs, elders and security services. “We don’t want any Fulani herdsmen to live among us.”
1/ Chadwick Boseman gave us Black Panther. A masterpiece. A powerful portrayal of black excellence. A unique exploration of African history, aesthetics, diversity. An imaginary world that expanded the possibilities of black lives.
2/ I watched #BlackPanther on a winter day in a theatre in #Saskatoon. I wanted it to be an event. In the middle of the Prairie, I wore a whole African attire to go watch it. I walked out of there reassured by the beautiful imagery & the gripping #Fulani music
RIP Chadwick.
RIP Chadwick.
I think of black resilience and the ideals we project unto our superheros. Their humanity and ours. #BlackPanther #RipChadwickBosman
