This is a terrible situation. Dr Shihuwa Sishuwa should not be abandoned in any way. Thank you South Africa for coming to the rescue. Academics on the continent and outside of it must clearly condemn the Zambian government for its action. We stand by Dr Shihuwa Sishuwa.

1. I think @SaraHirschhorn1 has a point on the UK action against Israel. There is a level of virtue signalling. After all, it is unlikely to change the behaviour of either the settlers or the Netanyahu govt. But the challenge with this analysis is what is the alternative?

“The labs are saying to govt: ‘We’re quite likely to kill every human being on Earth; please stop us.’ Govts respond with ‘Can we give you a tax break? … Perhaps at some point govts will remember that their voters prefer not to be dead.” https://t.co/BDvfR1anDw via @ft

@AdHabb Done to appease a voter block and ordinary Brits will pay the price again. Silly little man playing silly little games for political gain. Labour so despised in the UK that they are gambling with the Palestine conflict as a polital pawn. 😠

1. This is my response to UM’s reply. For those who invoked racism; let me blunt; I was in the trenches before most of you were born. Your resort to the race card with anyone you disagree with undermines the very struggle against racism. Shame on you!
