Together with @guntrum_laura and @LynnCockburn1, we analyse the ICT tools currently available to these women, the persisting challenges and finally propose an intersectional feminist digital peacebuilding framework that could be applicable to similar conflict settings.
Merry Christmas to all! I’d like to share this latest article to close 2025. It’s been an eventful year either lots of highs and some lows. The article explores the often overlooked use of ICTs as a peacebuilding tool by women in the #AnglophoneCrisis in Cameroon.
The @_AfricanUnion was meant to do better. That’s why it moved from the ‘non interference’ principle of the OAU to ‘non indifference’. Validating such sham elections in such an eager manner defeats the purpose of the AU.

@_AfricanUnion@ymahmoudali@AUC_PAPS The AU should be more serious and refrain from dishing out these congratulatory messages to leaders who rig elections and violently kill their citizens.

The president of the Constitutional Council, Clément Atangana, is celebrating Paul Biya’s victory with his family.
“I am glad that you are pleased with the work done by your father, and with the victory of your candidate,” he declared.
This feels more like a coronation and not a declaration of an election victory.

Please STOP fixing students by overworking yourself.
I see too many professors burn out because they believe every outburst, crisis, or confrontation is their personal responsibility.
If you’re dealing with difficult students, do this instead:
Looking for where to acquire a #ProfessionalMaster’s degree or an MSc in Conflict Resolution? The Department of International Relations and Conflict Resolution @UBuea has exciting offers for you.
The younger generation faces economic challenges worse than what their parents experienced. Why are well-paying jobs often reserved for expats? Young people need to navigate a different landscape.

Young people must be involved in these discussions, especially given their significant proportion in the population. Their perspectives are vital for real change!

Cameroon’s govt enabled a rogue diplomat to pursue a politically motivated case against 2 AMCITS, denied consular access to one, & let a compromised prosecutor maintain a travel ban even after the case ended. @SenateForeign calls for a serious reckoning in bilateral relations.
Last week I sent a letter to Cameroon’s foreign minister because I’m deeply concerned about two Americans—one with strong Idaho ties—facing politically driven legal actions in Cameroon. This continued abuse by a Cameroonian diplomat against these two Americans, and the unlawful persecution they are facing as a result, will needlessly strain U.S.–Cameroon relations. I respectfully urge the Government of Cameroon to allow the family to depart safely, unimpeded, and immediately. https://t.co/sFm9npSWSg
