'Of all the tools available to colonizing powers, everyday law and governance was perhaps the most potent, subtle, and insidious. It is also the most challenging to incorporate into histories of resistance and the agency of the colonized'

"Thousands of Inuit women in Greenland are now eligible for monetary compensation over a decades-long Danish birth-control program that forcibly implanted intrauterine devices (IUDs).
The compensation has some Inuit women in Canada who faced similar treatment hopeful for an apology from their own federal government."
According to Reuters, a 2025 joint Greenlandic-Danish inquiry found that from 1966 to 1991, roughly 4,000 Greenlandic women and girls, some as young as 12, were subjected to forced sterilizations, often without their knowledge.
[And "Documented consequences for some women included heavy bleeding, serious infections, scarring of the fallopian tubes, removal of the uterus and the inability to have children."]

❝ IF YOU’LL LET ME SPEAK, I’ll begin… Señora, I’ve known you for about a week. Every morning you show up in a different outfit and on the other hand, I don’t. Every day you show up all made up and combed like someone who had time to spend in an elegant beauty parlor and who can spend money on that, and yet I don’t.

#Decolonizing #Environmentalism: Alternative Visions and Practices of Environmental Action (Bloomsbury, 2024) helps us reimagine our approach to environmental stewardship critically interrogating the problems associated with existing legacies of environmentalism and how we imagine other ways to addressing the multiple #planetary_crises.
The authors cast a critical eye on wealthy and influential #environmental groups that committed to #anti-racist strategies in the wake of the racial awakening of 2020. Yet, they continue to embrace false solutions like carbon markets and biodiversity offsets, which carry deeply racialized consequences. By tracing the roots of these misplaced priorities to detrimental modernity steeped in #colonialism and #capitalism, the authors call for transformational changes in human-nature relationships. They distill lessons from the divestment movement, which has questioned the #fossil fuel industry's moral standing, and food sovereignty activists, who have mobilized global civil society to hold agribusiness corporations accountable.
In these extraordinary times, Decolonizing Environmentalism invites readers to embark on a transformative journey to embrace anti-racist, emancipatory, and regenerative approaches to environmentalism.

"The Buganda Parliament: Africa's 1,000-Year-Old Democracy
Picture this: It's 1890, and a group of British colonial officers stride confidently into what they expect to be another 'primitive' African chieftain's hut. Instead, they find themselves standing before a magnificent parliament building that could house over 1,000 representatives, watching as elected officials debate taxation policy with the sophistication of seasoned European politicians. The twist? This democratic institution had been operating for nearly a millennium—centuries before the British Parliament had wrested power from their own monarchs.
Welcome to the Lukiiko, the parliament of the Buganda Kingdom, where democracy wasn't a European import but a homegrown African innovation that would make modern political scientists weep with envy.
(. . .)
The Birth of African Democracy
Long before the Magna Carta limited the power of English kings in 1215, the Baganda people of present-day Uganda had already cracked the code of balanced governance. The Lukiiko emerged around 1000 AD as more than just a royal advisory council—it was a genuine parliament with teeth sharp enough to bite even kings who overstepped their bounds.
The system centered around the Kabaka (king), but here's where it gets interesting: unlike European absolute monarchs who ruled by divine right, the Kabaka governed through a complex web of checks and balances that would make James Madison proud. The real power broker was the Katikkiro—essentially a prime minister who served as the head of government while the Kabaka remained head of state. Think of it as a constitutional monarchy, but one that evolved naturally over centuries rather than being imposed after bloody revolutions.
What made this system truly remarkable was its representational structure. Every saza (county) in Buganda sent elected representatives to the Lukiiko, creating a genuine voice for communities across the kingdom. These weren't ceremonial positions either—parliament members controlled everything from land distribution to military conscription, wielding power that could make or break royal policies.
Here's where the Buganda system really separates itself from its European contemporaries: women weren't political afterthoughts. The Namasole (Queen Mother) held a position so powerful that she could effectively veto royal decisions and command her own military forces. She wasn't just the king's mother—she was a political powerhouse in her own right, controlling vast territories and wielding influence that extended far beyond the royal court.
But the Queen Mother wasn't alone. Female chiefs, known as Bataka, controlled significant portions of Buganda's territory. These weren't honorary titles handed out to keep women quiet; they were genuine leadership positions with real authority over taxation, justice, and local governance. When European missionaries arrived in the 1870s, they were scandalized to find women making political decisions that affected thousands of people—something virtually unheard of in 'civilized' Victorian society.
The most stunning example? In 1888, when religious wars threatened to tear Buganda apart, it was largely the intervention of powerful women leaders that prevented complete societal collapse. While European women were still fighting for the right to own property, Buganda women were commanding armies and negotiating international treaties.
(. . .)
The British were genuinely confounded. Their entire colonial project was built on the assumption that Africans needed European guidance to develop 'civilized' institutions, yet here was a parliamentary democracy that had been functioning effectively for centuries. Colonial reports from this period reveal a grudging admiration mixed with bewilderment at finding political sophistication where they expected primitive tribalism.
Rather than acknowledge this inconvenient truth, the British chose to co-opt the system. The Uganda Agreement of 1900 nominally preserved the Lukiiko while stripping it of real power, transforming it from a genuine parliament into a colonial administrative tool. It was a masterclass in imperial gaslighting—maintain the form while gutting the function."

“In her magisterial book The Great Partition, Yasmin Khan offers a sobering conclusion: The Partition of 1947 is also a loud reminder, should we care to listen, of the dangers of colonial interventions and the profound difficulties that dog regime change. It stands testament to the follies of empire, which ruptures community evolution, distorts historical trajectories and forces violent state formation from societies that would otherwise have taken different—and unknowable—paths. Partition is a lasting lesson of both the dangers of imperial hubris and the reactions of extreme nationalism. For better or worse, two nations continue to live alongside each other in South Asia and continue to live with these legacies.”

#Zambia blasts the US over a $2 billion health deal in exchange for #CriticalMinerals
By Farai Mutsaka and GERALD IMRAY, May 5, 2026
HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — "Zambia is accusing the United States of tying a $2 billion deal for critical health assistance to access to the southern African nation’s rich mineral assets, and calling the outgoing U.S. ambassador’s allegations of corruption 'mischievous' and 'undiplomatic.'
"The comments by Zambia’s foreign affairs minister, #MulamboHaimbe, on Monday brought into the open simmering tensions over President Donald #Trump’s '#AmericaFirst' strategy, which is reshaping aid to #Africa into #transactional agreements.
"Some African leaders and health experts have criticized the new U.S. stance and its demands for sensitive health data in exchange for badly needed support for health systems strained by the Trump administration’s dismantling of foreign aid. Some say they would not receive access to health innovations like #vaccines in return."

The Esto’k Gna Fight to Protect #SacredLands from #SpaceX Expansion
Oct 14, 2025
Key takeaways:
- Tribal nation challenges #SpaceX expansion: The Esto’k Gna, or #CarrizoComecrudo Tribe of #Texas, oppose SpaceX’s ongoing expansion at Boca Chica, saying the project desecrates sacred lands and harms protected ecosystems.
- #EnvironmentalDamage documented: Tribal leaders and #conservationists report that rocket launches have caused #fires, #debris fallout, and #HabitatLoss in an area home to #EndangeredSpecies.
- Lack of consultation and oversight: The Esto’k Gna say they were never properly consulted by federal or state agencies, despite legal obligations to consider Indigenous rights and cultural heritage in environmental reviews.
- Broader fight for recognition: The Tribe’s concerns highlight ongoing struggles for federal acknowledgment and protection of #IndigenousSovereignty in the face of high-tech industrial expansion.Excerpt: "On the southernmost edge of Texas, where the Rio Grande meets the Gulf, the Esto’k Gna Tribal Nation — also known as the Carrizo/Comecrudo Tribe of Texas — still hopes to protect what remains of its ancestral lands from Elon Musk’s expanding SpaceX base.
The tribe says the company’s operations at Boca Chica — rebranded 'Starbase' — have devastated fragile #ecosystems, desecrated #SacredSites, and cut off traditional access to the coastline that forms the heart of their creation story. What SpaceX hails as a gateway to Mars, tribal leaders call a continuation of the centuries-long #erasure of Indigenous peoples in the name of progress. As Tribal Chairman #JuanMancias recently told Decatur Metro, 'They dream of reaching Mars. We’re just trying to stay on Earth.' "

#NativeAmerican tribes say #ICE harassing members amid raids
by Erin Alberty, Russell Contreras, January 29, 2025
"Some Native American tribes say tribal members are being harassed by federal immigration agents, while others fear they could be wrongly caught up in immigration raids.
"The alarm comes as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) says its agents are arresting more than 1,000 undocumented immigrants a day, part of President Trump's push to deport 'millions' of people not authorized to stay in the U.S.
"#ImmigrationRaids in cities such as Chicago and Los Angeles — and Trump's new directives to allow searches in schools and churches in addition to workplaces and homes — have heightened concerns in communities across the country.
" 'My office has received multiple reports from Navajo citizens that they have had negative, and sometimes traumatizing, experiences with federal agents targeting undocumented immigrants,' Navajo President #BuuNygren said in a statement.
"#NavajoNation officials told CNN on Monday that at least 15 Indigenous people in the southwestern U.S. have reported being questioned or detained by immigration officers in the past week.
"The 17.5 million-acre Navajo Nation is in northeastern Arizona, northwestern New Mexico, and southeastern Utah. It's larger than 10 states.
"ICE offices in Utah and Washington, D.C., did not immediately respond to Axios' requests for comment.
"The #MescaleroApache Tribe in New Mexico announced that a member was confronted by ICE agents last week and was asked for ID — first in Spanish, although the member spoke English.
"The #SissetonWahpetonOyate of the #LakeTraverse Reservation in South Dakota said it was temporarily waiving all fees for issuing or replacing tribal IDs amid members' concerns about ICE encounters.
"#Ute Indian Tribe Business Committee — the tribe's governing body — promised in a statement Saturday to "aggressively defend our rights and interests." The tribe offered legal counsel to members who are "improperly detained or questioned," as did the #Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah.
"The #SanJuanSouthernPaiute Tribe, whose land crosses the Utah-Arizona border, advised its citizens to record encounters with ICE, ask for agents' badges and keep their doors closed and ask for a warrant if approached at home.
What they're saying: Trump's immigration executive orders have 'raised concern among our tribal members, particularly regarding the potential targeting of our community by immigration agents,' #ChippewaCree Tribe chairman Harat BaRete said in a statement. The north-central Montana tribe then released a set of guidelines urging members to remain silent, keep ID handy and report encounters to tribal officials." 'The #RosebudSioux Tribe is in the process of assessing the legal effects of the unlawful and unconstitutional Trump administration Executive Orders and will fiercely defend against any threat to the sovereignty,' the South Dakota tribe said in a statement.
"Since the Obama administration, U.S. agents have aggressively targeted human smuggling rings that use isolated #IndigenousLands to try to move undetected.
"Congress didn't grant citizenship to #NativeAmericans until 1924 — a development President Trump's lawyers cited in their attempt to justify his temporarily blocked executive order to #OverturnBirthrightCitizenship.
"The administration's attorneys last week invoked an 1884 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that denied citizenship to members of tribes to argue that 'birth in the United States does not by itself entitle a person to citizenship.'
"Some tribal leaders saw the argument as a threat against their members' U.S. citizenship."

None of them were elected to put #CorporateGreed interests over #PublicInterests.
It seems, far too many elected officials forget their main job & 1st priority is to #ServeThePeople. Instead - they're screwing over all of us to pander to #CorporateGreed & not brave enough to stand up to their own inner caucus #corruption. They feed from same corrupted lobbyists' money troughs.

A decade after Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: 94 Calls to Action report was released - Provincial & federal governments are still actively violating #UNDRIP & using taxpayers funds to fight #Indigenous #FirstNations in courts.
PDF of the TRC Calls to Action:
https://ehprnh2mwo3.exactdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Calls_to_Action_English2.pdfThis is ongoing #capitalist driven #colonialism.
It was wrong before. It's wrong now.
I don't care WTF any government PR says about respecting & honouring #NativePeople & wanting to help First Nation communities, when they're whitewashing/greenwashing & being exploitive divide to conquer, greedy jerks.#BCpoli #CDNpoli #neoliberalism #SystematicRacism #DivideAndConquer #Capitalism #ColonialManipulation #GreedKills #BanCorporateLobbyists #Landback #TruthBeforeReconcilation #SocialJustice #HumanRights

"The Zionist produces and defines itself through the animalization of the Palestinian."
"Palestinian liberation is an impossibility in the current ordering of knowledge and being, similarly demanding through its realization the end of […] this world, and modernity."
This paper "posits that Palestinian freedom necessitates the creation of new worlds and [the getting rid of encumbering] constructs such as modernity and the Human."

African Heritage In Europe: Join a special screening of “Dahomey” and “If Objects Could Speak” on 24 July at 19:30, hosted by Kommunales Kino Freiburg (Urachstr. 40, 79102 Freiburg). Both films address the colonial appropriation of African cultural objects and pose vital questions about restitution, identity, and justice.
Afterwards, Dr. Kokou Azamede (Université Lomé, Togo) and filmmaker Elena Bauer will discuss these issues on a panel moderated by Dr. Richard Legay (ABI). This event is organised by our local partners and we highly recommend attending.
