As the United States presidential election approaches, the race to attract voters has intensified. Among the different constituencies the Democrats and Republicans are battling over, there is one that stands out: the Muslim community. Although Muslims constitute roughly 1 percent of the American population, they are an important voting bloc…
I almost wish someone would ask us: how does it feel to be a pit stop? To be a refuelling station where sputtering-out political campaigns pull up to receive a laying on of hands; where a Black baritone reverend holds the president’s shoulder and between benedictions issues forth some version…
It has been more than a month since a former president of the United States, Donald Trump, used my identity as an insult in a televised debate. He called his opponent, current US President Joe Biden, a “very bad Palestinian” for his alleged failure to help Israel “finish the job”…
It has been more than 10 months now of Israel waging its genocidal war on Gaza. Throughout this time, mobilisation in solidarity with the Palestinian people has ebbed and flowed but it has not stopped. Large crowds have rallied across the world to protest inaction by world leaders on Israeli…

Public opinion is no longer as dominantly favourable towards Israel as it used to be, which worries the Israeli government and its American supporters. This is most…

She jailed, exiled and eliminated most of her political peers like no other ruler in South Asia’s history. She brought all the branches of…
It appears that the corner the United States supposedly turned in 2020 in recognising and addressing its systemic racism was just another dead end – an illusion that provided the nation with a brief feel-good moment and nothing more. For all the promises to tackle discrimination in education, employment, housing…
“We are tired of moving.” This is what several Maasai men and women residing in the Endulen village in Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) told us last July when we asked them about the government’s ongoing efforts to relocate their community. “Our grandfathers left Serengeti for conservation,” a local councillor…
