As #WomensDay comes to a close, @triciatwasiima argues that beyond celebrating a few token figures in public life, we should use each day to challenge structural injustices that continue to undermine the full liberation of women. https://t.co/5PwOzOOLsP

Hello, @kasujja we’ve been curating conversations of this nature , around emerging regional issues. We’d be glad to partner on this one. Please DM.

I’m interested in a space where #Rwandans and #Ugandans can talk freely. Intelligently. Dispassionately.

Is there such a group somewhere?

If there isn’t, I’ll set up one..

DM open..

#CoveringAfrica: In an impassioned departure from @namlyd , @qataharraymond argues that by leading with gory images from the #KenyaAttack at Dusit, @nytimes played into Al-Shabab’s intention to shock - a tendency they’re careful to avoid back home.

Following the public outrage arising from a Western media house publication of grisly pictures from #Kenya #RiversideAttack, @namlyd makes a case for the publication of gory images. #WITSOpEds

@Nkmoses3 @mollykamukama His attitude really did anger the Belgians indeed. Although, with regards to Mandela’s 'forgiveness,' some argue that it was an act of betrayal to the many South Africans who'd been harmed too.

Pan-African leader, Patrice Lumumba who fought imperialism in the Congo was murdered today, in 1961.

But beyond his resistance, Patrice was known for his afrocentric hairstyles which have been admired and even recreated by many till this day.

[Patrick ISAKA.LYOMBA @PatrickIsaka]

Do you know of an African woman in the media doing a remarkable job? She could be a producer, writer, reporter, filmmaker, name it all! We want to share her story, in preparation of the African Women in the Media Conference & Festival 2019, in Nairobi.

We all, especially young people are charged with this duty - to save the world from those who attempt to destroy it. And that includes those who seek to deny the rights of any group of people, anywhere in the world. Because the world really is the people in it. #HumanRightsDay

[Ivan Rugambwa🇺🇬 @I_Rugambwa]

The very best for your day, @AdekeAnna . More life ✊🏾

[Rosebell Kagumire @RosebellK]

@WITSInstitute @BeingEdna @AdekeAnna Happy born day @AdekeAnna May you continue to inspire and keep the young Ugandan woman aspirations high!

[Owakunda @Owakunda1]

Happy birthday Adeke Anna

[WITS INSTITUTE @WITSInstitute]

A Happy Birthday to one of our board members, #Uganda-n youth leader and legislator, @AdekeAnna. May this year be one of fruition and reward!

[Edna Ninsiima @BeingEdna]

I am actually inclined to sorta agree with this. There are people who have argued that sexism can only be addressed by "changing mindsets" and I've always thought that idea as lazy (kindest word I could master). Both radical moves and advocacy must be employed. #WITSHouseTalks
