  1. Are reparations possible in a world still stealing?
    Hekayyatna

    Another event I’d have liked to have gone to but which is already sold out:

    ibraaz.org/whats-on/are-repara

    ‘While #museums debate returning artefacts, coltan mines fuel wars in the Congo. While conferences discuss #postcolonial reparations, Sudan’s gold finances its own destruction. Ibrahim Mahama’s “reverse restitution” asks us to look at the empire’s ruins - but what about the ruins being made right now? Join Hekayyatna for an evening exploring what #Justice repair, and #restitution mean when #extraction never stopped, when the #GlobalMajority is still being #colonised and when tomorrow’s debts are being written in today’s conflicts.’

  6. A ‘Cop of peace’? How can #authoritarian, #HumanRights-trashing #Azerbaijan possibly host that?

    "The #ClimateCrisis is just as much about protecting human rights as it is about protecting the #Climate and #biodiversity. You cannot claim to care about #ClimateJustice if you ignore the sufferings of oppressed and #colonised people today. We cannot pick and choose whose human rights to care for, and who to leave behind. Climate justice means justice, safety and freedom for everyone."

    by #GretaThunberg, November 11, 2024

    "Cop meetings have proven to be #greenwashing conferences that legitimise countries’ failures to ensure a livable world and future and have also allowed authoritarian regimes like #Azerbaijan and the two previous hosts – the #UnitedArabEmirates and #Egypt – to continue violating human rights.

    "#Genocides, #ecocides, #famines, #wars, #colonialism, rising inequalities and an escalating #ClimateCollapse are all interconnected crises that reinforce each other and lead to unimaginable suffering. While #humanitarian crises are unfolding in #Palestine, #Yemen, #Afghanistan, #Sudan, #Congo, #Kurdistan, #Lebanon, #Balochistan, #Ukraine, #NagornoKarabakh / #Artsakh, and many, many other places, humanity is also breaching the 1.5C #GreenhouseGas emissions limit, with no signs of real reductions in sight.

    "Instead, the opposite is taking place – last year, global emissions reached an all-time high. #Heat records have been shattered, and this year is 'virtually certain' to be the hottest year ever recorded, with unprecedented #ExtremeWeather events pushing the planet further into uncharted territory. The destabilisation of the biosphere and the natural #ecosystems we depend on to survive is leading to untold human suffering and further accelerating the #MassExtinction of flora and fauna."

  12. watch the whistle and tune? the #colonised britain.

    #colonisers tend to perceive #colonised as Theirs
    to dominate.

    Some dominions are allowed to get a feel in appearance only, that the playing field is open
    If
    and only
    If
    they agree to
    sound, look, behave, think and imagine
    like the colonisers.

    That kind of a process tends to be called something
    that indicated taking
    the colonised
    up a notch.
