Day 2 of celebrating Zambian heroes. Nalumino Mundia was a key Zambian politician and orator known for his criticism of Kenneth Kaunda. He served as Zambia’s first Minister of Commerce, Trade, and Industry after independence in 1964 and founded the United Party (UP) in 1967, advocating for democracy. As Prime Minister from 1981 to 1985, he was involved in significant projects, including the Victoria Falls Power Station, crucial for Zambia's energy. He also served as an envoy to several countries. Mundia passed away from a heart attack in 1988, leaving a legacy of political advocacy and national development. #ZambiaAt60 🇿🇲

Day 5/7 PROUD TO BE ZAMBIAN BECAUSE OF THE PEACE THAT REIGNS THROUGH SMOOTH TRANSITION OF POWER My pride in being Zambian is deeply rooted in the peaceful transfer of power that has characterized Zambia's political landscape. From the tenure of Dr. Kenneth Kaunda, who led the nation to independence, to the successive presidencies of Dr. Frederick Chiluba, Levy Patrick Mwanawasa, Michael Chilufya Sata, Edgar Lungu, and now Hakainde Hichilema, the orderly transition of leadership without chaos is a testament to Zambia's commitment to democracy and stability. This smooth transition of power reflects a strong sense of national unity and a commitment to upholding democratic principles. It demonstrates that Zambia's leaders prioritize the well-being of the nation above personal or political interests, fostering an environment where peace and stability can thrive. The fact that Zambia has successfully navigated these transitions without major disruptions speaks volumes about the maturity of our political institutions and the resilience of its people. It also sends a powerful message to the world our Countries’ commitment to democracy, governance, and the rule of law. Indeed, as I rightly express, the peaceful transfer of power from one administration to the next underscores the belief that peace transcends throughout the nation, starting from its leadership. It's a source of immense pride us Zambians and reflects the collective efforts of the nation to uphold its values and aspirations. My pride in being Zambian is not only a reflection of the nation's history and achievements but also a recognition of its potential and the responsibility of its citizens to contribute positively to its future. And I proudly say, "truly Zambia is who we are, and Zambia is what we make of it." This sentiment captures the essence of national pride and the collective endeavor to build a better, more prosperous Zambia for generations to come. Proudly Zambian #USembassy #Diamondincubatorltd Felix Hamayuwa

23 Yezidi NGOs and CSOs have united in a joint statement urging the Swiss Government to formally recognize the Yezidi Genocide. This collective call follows passionate advocacy efforts by Yezidi youth and activists in Switzerland, and underscores the critical significance of acknowledgment and commemoration. With the 10-year commemoration of the genocide looming, recognition holds unprecedented significance. It must also be accompanied by tangible commitments to foster the rebuilding and ensure the sustainable future of the Yezidi community. Read the statement here: https://bit.ly/YeziSwiss

This month we stood united with the people of Eswatini and D.HR&G Cluster in commemorating Thulani Maseko – a fearless advocate for democracy and human rights. On January 26, 2024, an X Spaces Discussion was held to reflect on Thulani's life and call for justice. A year has passed, but justice remains elusive. The panel, enriched by those close to Thulani, emphasized the importance of a collective voice for justice. Thulani's impact resonates beyond Eswatini, inspiring resilience, strategy, and solidarity. It's disheartening to witness the lack of progress and accountability. SADC's response fell short, and Eswatini and many countries in the region still face severe rights limitations. The discussion emphasized that we need to build movements, amplify impact, and continue the fight for justice in Thulani's honor.

This pivotal moment ignited a spark within us, a renewed hope and commitment to our mission: to be a beacon of creativity, courage, and community. As Kenya enters a new era, we're committed to leading the charge in shaping a future where art and culture play a central role.

The political history of Ghana has many different origin stories, growing up as a Danquah I heard them all good or bad. So much harm was done to my family due to politics & I’ve experienced so much harm due to politics. But I’ve learned to forget the past & work towards a better Ghana. As a political journalist & a former politician, there’s so much I can write about the political lies pervasive in our history & political system both past & present, but I choose to rather work towards a better equitable future for Ghana. People often choose which political stories better fits their political narrative to make themselves look good. Almost always forgetting that these political figures you’re lambasting in their graves have families who are not involved in your political discourse. You are free to defend who you want to defend & promote in the political history of Ghana but also ensure fairness in our political system, by allowing others to freely choose to defend & promote who they want to promote & defend. Not every bloodline of Danquah is what you claim us to be & not every Akyem is what you claim us to be. At the end of the day we’re all Ghanaians seeking to help create & build a better more prosperous society in Ghana. No matter what political ideologies you may have, know that some of us have legitimate political & royal legacies in Ghana that we cherish dearly & will defend, not because of politics or royalty but simply because it’s our family legacy & birthright. Instead of all these negative political discourse, I rather we put our energies together to work towards a more prosperous Ghana no matter our political views. The past is gone, now it’s up to us to build a better future together. Not everything has to be about party politics, let’s leave all the negative sentiments alone & let the past guide us to work together to make progress for ourselves & help develop an equitable prosperous Ghana for all Ghanaians. This is the vision of Ghana my father & grandfather believed in & I believe in, so I’m working towards that, what about you. Are we going to continue fighting against each other about the painful past or are we going to work together for the betterment of Ghana. The better future we seek in Ghana is up to us, the sooner we work together as a country the better it will be for all of us. The choice is up to us all. May our forebears rest in eternal peace. ✌🏿 HRH Prince Duke Kesse-Adu Gyamfi IV 🤴🏿

Today in 1948, the National Party came into power in South Africa. #RxHistory⌛ The National Party was a political party in South Africa. It was founded in 1914 to advance the interests of one group of people, the Afrikaners. It ruled from 1924 to 1934 and from 1948 to 1994. It was disbanded in 2005. On 26 May 1948, the National Party won the whites-only elections. Soon after, it began drawing up policies for the ‘separate development’ of the population according to race. In a few years, several laws were passed to enforce the separation. Marriages of mixed races were prohibited, a series of Land Acts set aside more than 80 per cent of South Africa’s land for the white minority, and racial groups were assigned different areas of settlement and different amenities. The 1948 elections were a turning point in South Africa’s history.

POLITICS OF INSULTS🥹🥹🥹 The politics of insults in Ghana is a concerning trend that undermines our democracy and cultural values. As it has been observed, party communicators freely insult leaders, opposition, and individuals who don't share their views. But here is the thing; Their opinions can be expressed without resorting to insults😂😂😂😂 In Ghana, our cultural norms emphasize respect for elders and authority, yet online platforms and the traditional media have become breeding grounds for insults and invective language 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 This isn't just harmful to individuals, it also erodes our democratic institutions and discourages capable leaders from participating in politics. These Insults create a toxic environment, making citizens disengage from the political process. Capable leaders are also deterred from entering politics due to fear of character assassination. Let's promote constructive dialogue and respectful disagreement. Party communicators, focus on issues, not personalities. Citizens demand more from your leaders , encourage civility and substance over insults. By shifting our approach, we can strengthen Ghana's democracy, promote constructive engagement, and build a more respectful political culture.
