The Sole of Africa: From Landmines to Farmlands

April 10th, 2007  |  by Imnakoya  |  published in Advocacy, Angola, Conflict, Human Rights, Mozambique, South Africa

The post -”Miss Landmine [Angola]: A Grotesque Display of Insensitivity” generated a feedback from another NGO working to rid Mozambique and Angola of landmines.
Earlier today, Kai Von Pannier the Managing Director of Mineseeker Foundation S.A, the NGO that runs “The Sole of Africa” campaign, gives a summary of their mission via email. Here is […]

On April 6th 1994, the Devil Descended on Rwanda…

April 6th, 2007  |  by Imnakoya  |  published in Africa, Conflict, Human Rights, Rwanda

…And possessed the ethnic militia - the Interahamwe and the Impuzamugambi - the blood thirsty hound from hell - who ransacked the nooks and crannies of the city and countryside butchering Tutsi and moderate Hutus in their thousands!
This was the beginning of the [tag]Rwandan Genocide[/tag]. That was 13 years ago.
As the packs of machete, club […]

Miss Landmine [Angola]: A Grotesque Display of Insensitivity

March 20th, 2007  |  by Imnakoya  |  published in Advocacy, Africa, Angola, Blogosphere, Conflict, Event

Hat-tip to Sokari of Black Looks for posting on this Norwegian freakshow: A beauty contest for landmine survivors in Angola, where the contestants are then propped up on display in a fashion magazine showcasing specially designed clothes for amputees!…After reading the 15+ comments to the post, I’m somewhat deflated that no one proffered alternative means of “showcasing” the plight of these victims of landmine horror. After all, it is our insensitivity as Africans, and our inability to proffer creative solutions to our socio-political issues that breath life into projects like Traavik’s. There are artists and musicians in Angola and all over Africa, but I’m yet to hear/see any concerted advocacy efforts from this sector. If we Africans can’t think and work to deal with our issues, then someone else will!
