I always wondered about folk who receive congratulatory messages in the paper. Turns out, it's me, from the Nyaradzo Group!

I really appreciate this gesture from Philip Mataranyika and his team.

I have been gently pressuring Philip to write his memoir.

Now I have leverage!

My 4 am thoughts!

Dear Governors from Northern Kenya,

I am not sure the president will declare the current floods a national disaster, but history shows that Northern Kenya is often on its own during such situations. So try and manage your expectations!

In 2017, a Tunisian court, denied the removal of the word “Atig” from an elderly Black Tunisians name.

In Tunisia, the word “Atig” which translates to “freed by” was added to Black Tunisians and their descendants names. This preceded their last name which were typically* the name of their ancestors slave owners.

Black Tunisians with this word added to their name faced discrimination. Further subjecting them to poverty, unequal opportunities and racism.

It wasn’t until 2020 Hemdane Atig Dali, an 81 year old Black Tunisian, was the first Black Tunisian was allowed to legally remove “Atig” from his name along with his family. Now he is proudly: Hemdane Ben Jemaa Ben Massoud Dali.

Although this historical moment is one to celebrate, the name is still attached to Black Tunisians names and they have to legally request for it to be removed. Many still report being discriminated against.

*in this specific case I wasn’t able to confirm if Dali was the slave owner who freed their ancestors or if it was their ancestor who was freed. Based on other information I read, I believe it’s the first.
