An Important piece by @Sheriffb on the lawfare being used to keep many opposition figures jailed across Africa — and in some cases, even democratically elected presidents like Mohamed Bazoum and his wife in #Niger. I spoke to him about it. https://t.co/ydrPXEwPd5 #FreeBazoum 1.3K views · 5 likes · 6 reposts · 0 replies 06 Sep 2026 · Open on X →

Only one country voted against this resolution. Guess which one. 3.3K views · 30 likes · 6 reposts · 10 replies 04 Sep 2026 · Open on X →

Empty sloganeering. Since #Niger's 2023 coup: extremist killings are up 60%, the junta defaulted on $519M in debt, growth forecasts down by 45%. Bazoum was elected with a clear mandate and unconstitutionally overthrown.

Western powers spent centuries profiting from racialized chattel slavery. For @ResistBureau, I spoke with the brilliant @matiangai to unpack a recent UN resolution, the double standards, and why empty words won't cut it.
