Thank you all for a wonderful workshop! #STASD
Fowsia discussing how Abiy Ahmed, though Oromo, still represents the power structure of the last 30 years. Was part of the security apparatus #STASD
Our final panelist is Fowsia Abdulkadir, presenting "Dealing with the Past: Transitional Justice Approaches in the Context of Somali Region" #STASD
Poems created community, not just reflected it. Shows how Benaadir was part of larger coastal networks of Islamic knowledge and learning; also offers insight into political struggles at moment of colonial encroachment #STASD
Discursive strategies include the fact that they were in Chiimwiini, the vernacular language of the Bravanese people. Gave common people more access to the formal teaching of Islam rather than limited to Arabic #STASD
Men often relied on written texts (in Arabic of 'ajami script) whereas women could commit the poems to memory #STASD
Used vernacular to teach Islam to everyday people. Lidwien also highlights an important gender dynamic and describes how women were active participants in the poetic process and its diffusion #STASD
Bravanese 'ulama fashioned concise, vivid, accessible and easy to memorize nuggets of religious knowledge. Highlights this as an important form of knowledge production #STASD
Explores Sufi poetry from the city of Brava (Baraawe) in the language of Chiimwiini the town 1890-1975, with post-WWII period most productive #STASD
Next is Lidwien Kapteijns with her presentation βBringing ΚΏIlm to the Common People: The Didactic Religious Poetry of the Ulama of Bravaβ #STASD
Claims conjure particular ideas about Mogadishu's past. Classifies claims into two types, cosmopolitan and autochthonous claims #STASD
Hinges not only on remembering the past but also whose past? Space contains layers of memories from different historical times #STASD
Begins by asking: who belongs in Mogadishu and on what grounds? #STASD
We're starting our forth panel, Histories and Legacies. A reminder that you can watch the livestream for at this link: https://t.co/DzV2r6uLRf #STASD
Audience member makes comparison to Somalis in Toronto and adds point that for some Somalis, they choose to live within these neighborhoods because they want to be within their communities despite overpolicing and surveillance #STASD
CVE also divides people within the community along clan lines. Divide and rule tactics of colonialism that leveraged tribe are used by CVE #STASD
