Profondément déçus de la confirmation en appel de la condamnation à 5 ans de prison ferme de l’activiste @luchaRDC King Mwamisyo par la Cour militaire du Nord-Kivu. Dénoncer l’état de siège n’est pas un crime ! Nous continuons d’exiger sa libération immédiate et sans condition.
Truth be told, some of these #COP27 'analyses' are a bit rich, especially coming from the historic polluters who got us in this climate emergency in the first place. Here is my response. 🧵
At the end of the day we have to keep explaining and defending our movement as Africans and witnessing other vulnerable African people face this sort of discrimination. It’s so exhausting.

I have a travel update thread: #travellingWhileAfrican
This morning I was barred from boarding XXX airlines by airline staff here in Nairobi- this was to be the start of my 24 hr journey to Cape Verde for the @festival_terrasagrada set for Thursday 24th.
This Friday 18th is the last day of COP27 in Egypt, and it is also @alaa’s 41st birthday, his 9th birthday in prison. Let’s do everything we can to put the pressure on our governments to push for his release between now and then. #FreeAlaa#Wish4Alaa#COP27#FreeThemAll
Egypt has begun a “medical intervention” on the country’s best known political prisoner, Alaa Abd El Fattah, whose hunger strike has cast a shadow on the proceedings at this week’s United Nations #COP27 climate summit, one of his sisters said on Thursday. https://t.co/VBCwK3kFpj
This is the moment a pro-regime Egyptian MP tried to disrupt @sana2’s press conference while she was speaking from the stage, only to be removed by United Nations security
Pressure is building here at #COP27 over Alaa’s case - it’s been 48+ hrs since he drank water
@bonifacemwangi@alaa As for Alaa's other govt…
"I think [PM Sunak] intends to do everything he can to save Alaa… I really believe that if he makes this an urgent political priority, my brother will be on the next flight to London." @sana2@FreedomForAlaa#FreeAlaa#COP27

It is now November 18 in Egypt. Today, @Alaa turns 39 years old in jail, where he is away from his son, his family, and his loved ones.
Happy birthday Alaa. May you spend your next birthday free and with those dear to your heart.

They were students collecting certificates, fathers leaving a nearby mosque and mothers manning roadside businesses. @HussienM12 and I on the lives lost in the Oct. 29 blasts in Mogadishu, the most devastating terrorist attack to hit Somalia in five years. https://t.co/r0yo7oOVqZ
Rwanda has positioned itself as an altruistic partner of wealthier nations seeking to curb migration. But experts and activists say the country's dismal human rights record and its previous treatment of refugees, make it no safe haven for asylum seekers. https://t.co/txKPrGib1E
