Zimbabwe Learns Muslim Culture From The Most Unusual Circumstances

Image
BY NIGEL GWIRIKWITI  [ You may need some paracetamol and naproxen to understand this linguist jingoism in this article]  Ironically , the expiration of Michelle Amuli was used as a symbolic conduit pipe to decipher / demystify the mythologies surrounding the monotheistic Abrahamic religion- Islam.  Historically , the generality of Zimbabweans have always conceptualized Islam through a prism polluted with fear , suspicion , superstition and more disturbingly as a religion that uses sorcery and violence . Consequently, if you historicize and contextualize the historicity of Muslims living in Zimbabwe , it is  a history of a people misunderstood . They were conceptualized as manipulators who mendaciously use their sophism as infrastructures of domination particularly against women .  In fact , due to the complexities , misconceptions and the inevitable internet brouhaha that engulfed the nation,  the intervention of jurisprudence was sought . At th...

Obama passed laws to target to anti-imperialist anti-government media and information

Image
Four years ago, Obama passed a law giving the government a loophole to directly target anti-imperialist media within the U.S. through an agency called the Global Engagement Center. Biden will exploit this loophole to the fullest extent. WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Rob Portman (R-OH) and Chris Murphy (D-CT) today announced that their Countering Disinformation and Propaganda Act – legislation designed to help American allies counter foreign government propaganda from Russia, China, and other nations – has passed the Senate as part of the FY 2017 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Conference Report. The bipartisan bill, which was introduced by Senators Portman and Murphy in March, will improve the ability of the United States to counter foreign propaganda and disinformation by establishing an interagency center housed at the State Department to coordinate and synchronize counter-propaganda efforts throughout the U.S. government. To support these efforts, the bill a...

Zimbabwe Now: Post-Coup, Mid-Covid; Continuing Crises, Corruption, and Confusion ( co-edited by David Moore and Brian Raftopoulo)

Image
                ZIMBABWE POST COUP It is now commonplace that the Covid-19 pandemic exaggerates and exacerbates social and political problems in the countries on which it has wreaked havoc.  Trump’s USA and Bolsonaro’s Brazil are just the clearest examples.  Covid-19 seems even to expose fault-lines in supposedly social democratic paradises such as Sweden: its well-ordered citizens were expected to manage themselves carefully enough to counter the crisis; but they didn’t and the wave grew. Zimbabwe seems to be no exception to this rule, and its rulers seem bent to bend it in their favour. What will break if they bend it too far? In Africa, perhaps ‘Western’ preconceptions and prejudices influenced forecasts of cataclysmic consequence.  As the virus began its global spread, analysts saw a billion cases and 3.3 million deaths over the continent’s horizon – if people would not practise social distancing. If Afri...
