Women’s participation in Namibia’s liberation struggle was not symbolic; they fought, mobilized, and provided medical aid, shaping the country’s future, Tomi Abe reports. Despite the common narrative of men leading independence movements, women played an active role in Namibia’s fight for freedom. Their contributions extended beyond support roles - they carried weapons, strategized, and built political networks. This history shaped policies prioritizing gender equality after independence. Today, Namibia ranks among the top ten countries globally for gender parity, with women holding 44.2% of parliamentary seats in 2024. Should other African nations revisit their histories to recognize women’s contributions and push for stronger policies? #WomenInLiberation #NamibianHistory #WomenFreedomFighters #AfricanWomenLeaders #GenderEquality #NamibiaIndependence #WomenInParliament #AfricanHerstory #WomensPoliticalPower #AfricanWomensHistory #Susinsight

[Semi long read] Social media is often the first place people turn to when discussing environmental, social, and economic issues. It’s a raw, unfiltered space where conversations unfold in real-time. If you pay attention, you’ll notice patterns: what people are saying, what they’re missing, and what’s being amplified rather than ignored. This is where critical thinking comes in. You have to go beyond just consuming information - you need to assess, question, and, when necessary, fill in the gaps. That’s where 'writing' plays its role. It’s still one of the most powerful tools we have to clarify, challenge, and expand discussions in a way that sparks real understanding. And that’s the essence of what we do at Susinsight. We’re not just another media outlet - we’re a platform built to reflect, analyze, and drive action on Africa’s most pressing issues. Sustainability isn’t a buzzword for us; it’s the foundation of everything we cover. Our goal? To provide deep, well-researched insights that cut through the noise and help people: decision-makers, business leaders, young professionals, and everyday citizens see the bigger picture. Africa is evolving, and the way we think about #sustainability needs to evolve with it. Every industry, sector, and demographic is impacted - whether it’s the economy, urban development, energy, agriculture, or even creative industries. The conversations happening now will shape policies, investments, and opportunities for years to come. This is why we urge young Africans, in particular, to pay attention, look beyond headlines and question narratives, and develop a mindset of inquiry. Understanding trends in-depth will not just keep you informed but help you position yourself for the future. The return on investment? Everything. Better decisions, sharper perspectives, and the ability to actively participate in shaping Africa’s future instead of just reacting to it. At Susinsight.com, we’re here to make sure these conversations don’t just happen but that they lead to action. If that resonates with you, then you’re exactly who we’re speaking to.
