Research on civil resistance in Somaliland. Check out historical comic based on my PhD @ @PRIOupdates @issnl

[Ebba Tellander @ebba_tellander]

I have defended my PhD thesis on civil resistance in Northern Somalia in the 1980s. We can all learn from acts of care, dignity and solidarity in the Somali region - and how such acts can transform societies. Thank you Uffo @CindyMHorst @PRIOresearch @issnl and many others!

While Norway voted in favour of the resolution, seeing Sweden amongst the abstentions is shameful and enraging. CEASEFIRE NOW!

"Everyone must assume their responsibilities.

This is a moment of truth.

History is judging us all."

My colleague @JJensehaugen in a discussion with the Secretary General of the Norwegian Refugee Council Jan Egeland on the devastation wrought by the seige on Gaza.

[Jan Egeland @NRC_Egeland]

International humanitarian law prohibits in any war, also against terrorism, all indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks.

Parties are bound to exercise precaution, proportionality and distinction between combatants and civilians:

"One Palestinian is being killed every 5 minutes in #Gaza"

Please think about this every 5 minutes. Today, tomorrow. Every 5 minutes. Don't look away. Demand that Israel end its bombardment, blockade & collective punishment of civilians.

[WHO in occupied Palestinian territory @WHOoPt]

4 hospitals in northern Gaza are no longer functioning as a result of damage and targeting.

21 hospitals in the Gaza Strip have received instructions from Israeli forces to evacuate.

Forced evacuation of hospitals may amount to a violation of International Humanitarian Law.

@uniofgothenburg @somali_studies @2021In After having heard the story of the professionals, youth in Hargeisa highlighted that it was the first time that they heard examples from their history that emphasized heroism, resistance and collective responsibility and not just one-dimensional stories of victims and violence.

[Ebba Tellander @ebba_tellander]

I'm glad for the opportunity to present at the Somali International Studies Congress @uniofgothenburg
@somali_studies @2021In #SSIA2023

I presented about my experience of co-creating research-based TV-programs, animations and comics + the importance of valuing personal stories

[Ebba Tellander @ebba_tellander]

@uniofgothenburg @somali_studies @2021In These approaches further counter forgetfulness of significant history among the younger generation.

[Ebba Tellander @ebba_tellander]

They thereby counter the injustices that occur whenever research participants cannot access – or make sense of – the research they have substantially contributed to.

[Ebba Tellander @ebba_tellander]

The methods differ from more conventional research that is usually more extractive, i.e., using the data gathered in local communities for foreign academic publications.
