#Ghana (a maggioranza cristiana), manca solo la firma del presidente per la legge contro l'#omosessualità approva dal parlamento e proposta da un deputato predicatore.
Il primate anglicano dell'Africa occidentale che l'aveva sostenuta qualche anno fa ora cambia idea, pur ribadendo la dottrina tradizionale sulle relazioni sessuali.
Ma intanto, nel clima di generale conformismo confessionalista contro le persone lgbt, l'omofobia religiosa di Stato avanza in Africa.👇

Gold, which is driving the deforestation, faces no equivalent check.
So a man can do everything right for five years — plant, shade, weed, wait, refuse the mining money — and get paid less this year than last, while the pit at his fence line pays cash on Tuesday. That isn't a market failure. Somebody signed.
Ghana, Nigeria, Côte d'Ivoire and Cameroon just signed the Abuja Declaration to stop exporting raw beans and bargain as one bloc. First thing in this mess with teeth in it. #Ghana #Cocoa

A bag of Ghanaian cocoa that once sold for GH¢3,625 now brings GH¢2,587 — about US$220, down from US$308. Meanwhile nearly 9,000 hectares of legally protected forest reserve have gone into illegal gold pits.
Brussels built a rule that demands GPS coordinates from a smallholder with patchy internet, exempted the actual bulldozer, delayed its own deadline twice, and calls that environmental policy. Cocoa is monitored for deforestation. #Ghana #Cocoa #Chocolate #EUDR #Deforestation

#TheBlackArchives: "Deze zomer dreef er massaal dode vis in de Saramaccarivier. Het water is voor de dorpen langs de oever drinkwater, voedsel en inkomen tegelijk. Het onderzoek wijst naar een lek bij een goudwinningslocatie op een concessie van het Surinaamse staatsmijnbouwbedrijf Grassalco. Weer een rivier, weer een gemeenschap die de rekening betaalt voor grondstoffen waar ze zelf amper iets aan overhoudt.
Milieuonderzoeker #ErlanSleur strijdt al bijna twintig jaar tegen de vervuiling door goudwinning in #Suriname. Hij neemt zelf watermonsters, vliegt met drones over illegale mijnen en legt tijdens dit gesprek uit hoe het systeem in elkaar steekt: van de vergunning op papier tot het cyanide in de rivier. Naast hem schuiven milieuactivist Norris Bannafoo (Vereniging Saamaka Gemeenschappen) en Stanley Hubert Liauw-Angie (Organisatie van Inheemsen in Suriname, OIS) aan. Zij vertellen wat het betekent om te leven op de grond waar dit gebeurt. Het gesprek wordt gemodereerd door jorunalist Phaedra Haringsma, #MitchellEsajas van The Black Archives geeft een introductie.
Dit gesprek hoort bij de tentoonstelling Echoes of In*dependence, over de bevrijdingsbewegingen van #Suriname, #Congo, #Ghana en #Kaapverdië. De vlag veranderde in al deze landen, maar de winning van grondstoffen ging door: goud in Suriname en Ghana, coltan in Congo. Wat wél veranderde, is wie er nu aan meeverdient. Vanavond leggen we die lijn van 1975 naar nu, en onderzoeken we wat er vanuit Nederland te doen valt."
