Once more, the entire continent of Africa is being framed as a place of exile and punishment, especially by racists and bots who delight in telling Black and Brown people that they should be ‘deported to Rwanda’.
I agree with everything you say Nic and thank you for the interesting links. The whole putrid scheme is abhorrent and I hope the pilot refuses to fly the plane. No doubt an airline also making a pretty penny from this and in my opinion has become a ‘trafficker’ for doing so.
Thank you for highlighting Nic. It is hard to stay focused when such news arises. And exhausting to try to explain to people who refuse to see the prejudice and inequality based on a person's skin colour. A new term I have recently learned from recent OFS is on Achille Mbembe's theory on necropolitics. It's deep. As they often say in Nigerian Pidgin English, "I can't shout," meaning "how much more can we say?" I tire oooo. But I don't let my soul get weary, and bringing the focus back to positive things, as you have done, is empowering.

Much love to you. I've read so much about Rwanda of late, it looks beautiful x
