  9. Geflüchteter klagt vor dem Freiburger Verwaltungsgericht - Hoffung auf ein sicheres Leben in Deutschland

    Für @RDL sprach ich mit Anuk, einer Person die zur Zeit Hospitantin bei SAGA ist, dem Südbadischen Aktionsbündnis gegen Abschiebungen. Anlass für das Interview ist ein aktueller Asylprozess von Moriba Cissoko (Name geändert). Das Bundesamt für Migration (BAMF) lehnte seinen Asylantrag ab und möchte Moriba Cissoko abschieben. Dagegen wehrt Moriba sich ohne anwaltliche Hilfe, aber mit der von SAGA, vor dem Verwaltungsgericht Freiburg. Moriba Cissoko war 2022 aus Guinea geflüchtet und reiste 2024 in Deutschland ein.

  13. Self-Titled Summer | Djeli Moussa Diawara (1983, Guinea)

    Our next Self-Titled Summer spotlight should be David Bowie’s s/t (aka Space Oddity), but we’ve already had a Bowie spotlight this year and there’s a lot of s/t’s to get through. So, instead we’re going to jump to the next one, which is number 387 on The List, submitted by platenworm. Here’s a quick rundown:

    • Point of origin(s): Born in 1962 into a family of Mandinka[1] griots (aka “djelis”/”jalis” i.e., West African storytellers and/or musicians) in Kankan, Guinea, Djeli Moussa learned to play the balafon (gourd-resonated xylophone), kora (West African stringed instrument similar to a lute and harp), and guitar at an early age. After moving to Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire at the age of 18, Djeli Moussa first played in restaurants and with other musicians such as his half-brother Mory Kanté (previously vocalist and balafon player in the Malian Rail Band) and for Moustapha on his 1982 disco/funk album I Love Abidjan. In 1982 he began his solo career by recording this, his debut album, first released the following year by Paris-based label Tangent. The album would later be reissued by various labels, some with the Anglicized spelling “Jali Musa Jawara” and/or other titles (Yasimika, Yasimika [Abidjan 1982], or Direct From West Africa).
    • Tasting notes: Griot, kora, balafon, acoustic guitar, beautiful chorus vocals
    • Standout track: “Haïdara” but, also, all of them (there’s only 4) – they’re all magic.
    • Where are they now?: Djeli Moussa moved to Paris and has continued to release a number of solo albums (the most recent being the 2020 Par Amour) featuring his preferred 32-stringed kora (traditionally it is a 21-string instrument), incorporating various styles such as flamenco and blues with traditional Mandinka sounds. He also founded the Kora Jazz Trio in 2002, which continued on as the Kora Jazz Band after Djeli Moussa left in 2010.

    Happy listening!

    1. Apologies if this is the wrong word – I’ve seen Mandinka used interchangeably with Mandingo, so I’ve just stuck with Mandinka here other than using both in the tags. ↩︎

    Here's a video of Djeli Moussa Diawara rehearsing Yasimika in 2010. This is a song he first recorded in 1982 for his famous eponym album and that was revisited and rerecorded at the time.

  20. Ummmm... From #wikipedia:

    The #WagnerGroup (Russian: #ГруппаВагнера, romanized: Gruppa Vagnera), officially known as PMC Wagner (ЧВК «Вагнер»), is a #Russian state-funded private military company (#PMC) controlled until 2023 by Yevgeny Prigozhin, a former close ally of Russia's president Vladimir #Putin, and since then by Pavel Prigozhin. The Wagner Group has used infrastructure of the Russian Armed Forces. Evidence suggests that Wagner has been used as a proxy by the Russian government, allowing it to have plausible deniability for military operations abroad, and hiding the true casualties of Russia's foreign interventions.

    "The group emerged during the war in #Donbas, where it helped Russian separatist forces in #Ukraine from 2014 to 2015. Wagner played a significant role in the later full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, for which it recruited Russian prison #inmates for frontline combat. By the end of 2022, its strength in Ukraine had grown from 1,000 to between 20,000 and 50,000. It was reportedly Russia's main assault force in the Battle of Bakhmut. Wagner has also supported regimes friendly with Russia, including in the civil wars in #Syria, #Libya, the #CentralAfricanRepublic, and #Mali. In Africa, it has offered regimes security in exchange for the transfer of diamond and gold mining contracts to Russian companies. Wagner operatives have been accused of #WarCrimes including #murder, #torture, #rape and #robbery of #civilians, as well as #torturing and killing accused #Deserters.

    [...]

    "Early in 2020, #ErikPrince, founder of the #Blackwater private military company, sought to provide military services to the Wagner Group in its operations in Libya and #Mozambique, according to The Intercept. By March 2021, Wagner PMCs were reportedly also deployed in #Zimbabwe, #Angola, #Guinea, #GuineaBissau, and possibly the #DemocraticRepublicOfCongo."
