Award-winning Egyptian photojournalist, Mahmoud Shawkan released after 5 years in prison

Egyptian photographer Mahmoud Abu Zeid, the most high-profile journalist imprisoned by Egypt has been released after more than five years in jail for what human rights groups say was simply doing his job covering anti-government protests.  

 

A picture of a smiling Abu Zeid, widely known as Shawkan, with his father and brother was posted on a family-run Twitter account shortly after his release with the hashtag #Shawkan_is_Free.  

 

“Thank God that it is over,” declared Taher Aboelnasr, his lawyer. “I pray to God that things become easier for him from now on and his life gets better.”  

 

For years, human rights groups, the United Nations, journalist organizations and legions of supporters have waged a campaign to release Shawkan. He became a visible symbol of the ongoing authoritarianism of President Abdel Fatah al-Sissi, who has jailed tens of thousands of opponents and critics of his regime, including many journalists.

 

According to Amnesty International, sadly, Shawkan is not the only Egyptian put behind bars for exercising his right to freedom of expression. Since December 2017, at least 126 Egyptians have been detained without fair trial, simply for expressing their views.

News Abacha loot: FG to share $322m to Nigerians from June 28

The Federal Government has announced plan to disburse $322million fund repatriated from the accounts of former Head of State, late General Sani Abacha in Switzerland to Nigerians.

National Coordinator of the Open Government Partnership (OGP), Nigeria and Special Assistant to the President on Justice Reforms, Juliet Ibekaku-Nwagwu made the disclosure in a chat with journalists.
Ibekeaku-Nwagwu said under MoU with Switzerland, the money would be paid directly into the accounts of the poorest Nigerians through their various accounts for two years.

The aide stated that this would be done through identification numbers to be made available on the website being developed by the National Social Investment office and the World Bank.
She explained that the agencies working on the modalities would brief the public on June 28, adding that the process for the payment will be transparent for civil society and the media to monitor.
“The poorest members of the community will be registered online, and before you make any payment, they must have an ID number so that every payment would be tracked.

“No amount will be paid out without a joint signature between Nigeria and the World Bank and without identification of individuals.

“If there is anything we have achieved, it’s about getting Nigerian citizens to become conscious about what is happening with their money”, she said.

World Bishops write Buhari over five Nigerian Christians sentenced to death

The Supreme Council of Bishops, otherwise known as World Council of Bishops, has written President Muhammadu Buhari, pleading for pardon for five young men sentenced to death by a court in Adamawa for the killing of a herdsman.
DAILY POST reports that a Yola High Court had on June 11, 2018, sentenced the five men from Kodomun in Demsa council area of the state to death by hanging for murdering a herder in retaliation to the several killings in the area.
However, in the letter, the bishops noted that Nigeria “has suffered untold bloodshed from killings, maiming, traumatisation of innocent citizens around the north eastern, north central and Middle Belt states, as a result of the frequent attacks by the militia herdsmen times without number.”

The correspondence, titled, “Special request for presidential pardon: Killing by hanging of five young men,” was signed by founding Primate, Abuja, Nigeria, Archbishop (Dr.) P. Sunday; Ecclesiastical Prelate Administrator, Houston, Texas, United State, Archbishop (Dr.) H. Parker; Apostolic Nuncio and Prelate to Africa, Lagos, Nigeria, Bishop (Dr.) J. Onyegbulem; and Ecclesiastical Prelate to West Africa, Niamey, Niger Republic, Bishop (Dr.) J. Hussein.
The clerics regretted that “till date no adequate justice had been meted out on them commensurate to the lives and property lost.” It therefore “totally condemns and disapproves vehemently the death sentence passed on the five young men on Monday, June 11, 2018 by a court of competent jurisdiction in Yola, Adamawa State, Nigeria accused and charged for killing a herdsman.”
The letter, dated June 13, 2018 from the World Episcopal Headquarters in Texas, U.S., was routed through the Africa Episcopal Headquarters, Lagos and copied the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo; Senate President, Bukola Saraki; Chief Justice of the Federation, Walter Samuel Onnoghen; Speaker, House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara; Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha; as well as Governor Mohammed Jibrilla and the state’s Attorney General, Silas Bala Sanga.
The bishops added “what our nation Nigeria sues for now in our nascent democracy is peace and tranquility, and not otherwise.”

PDP to VP Yemi Osinbajo ''You Are a Beneficiary Of Corruption''

Read the press statement from PDP below

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says Nigerians, particularly, the younger generation, are thoroughly disappointed in Vice President Yemi Osinbajo for allowing himself to be used as the poster boy for diversion of public attention from the impunity and corruption that saturate the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Federal Government.
As a professor of law, and an occupant of the exalted seat of the Vice President of our country, Prof. Osinbajo should know better than allowing himself to be used to bandy figures and make unguarded statements at public events, such as his comments at the APC ward congress in Lagos, where he described everyone else as “thieves”.
We note that Vice President Osinbajo has refused to heed wise counsel and accord respect to his office by desisting from such unguarded comments only because he has been sucked in and entangled in the propaganda, deception, impunity and sleazes that not only brought their administration to power, but have become its trademarks in the last three years.
We specifically invite Nigerians to note that all assertions by the Vice President, especially on the performance of the Buhari administration as well as his allegations and bandying of figures against the opposition, have remained unsubstantiated.
Moreover, Nigerians have noted that Prof. Osinbajo, in his ‘sanctimony’, has been silent on the exposed corruption under the Buhari administration, including the leaked memo detailing N9 trillion corrupt oil contracts at the NNPC, exposed sleazes in oil subsidy deals, diversion of Internally Displaces Persons (IDP) intervention funds, which includes the probe of a misappropriated N18bn in National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) under his direct supervision as well as other looting in government agencies such as the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS).
The Vice President is also ominously silent about the prevailing high-handedness and human rights violations and the aloofness of government resulting in daily bloodletting in various parts of our country.
Finally, we urge Prof. Osinbajo to take heed, retreat to the inner room, and conduct a soul searching before the great cloud of witnesses. He should also note that propaganda and, particularly, false accusations are not only abhorred by the Holy Books, but will also not deliver the APC and its incompetent administration from the resolve of Nigerians to kick them out, come 2019.

Black man refuses to return White neighbour's package that was mistakenly delivered to his house and his reason will leave you sad

A Black man refused to return his White neighbours package that was mistakenly delivered to his house and the reason he gave is quite sad because it shows how society has made Black people suspicious, such that they are constantly living in fear of their lives.
Sean Carter, a Phoenix lawyer, took to Facebook to explain why he is refusing to give his White neighbour a package meant for him that UPS delivered by mistake to Sean's house in Phoenix, Arizona.
He said he is waiting for UPS to come get the package and take it to the right house instead of taking it to his neighbour himself. The reason he gave for why neither he nor his teenage sons would be taking the package to the neighbour is that they are Black and it is dangerous to have Black kids sent to White people's homes because they might be mistaken for criminals and killed.
 
Sean wrote on Facebook:

UPS mistakenly delivered this package to the wrong house. The address on the package is for a house just a block over, so we are waiting for UPS to pick up the package and deliver it to the right house.
“But Sean, why wouldn’t you be a decent person and just take the package to your neighbor? Or better yet, you have teenage sons. Send one of them. That’s the perk of having teenagers — free menial labor.”
The answer is because we’re black. And it’s extremely unsafe to send our boys to the home of any family that we don’t know in this predominantly white neighborhood.
 Why? Because there is a realistic chance that one of my neighbors will see my boy as a threat and call the police or even pull a gun on him. And if you think I’m being ridiculous or paranoid, Google “Brennan Walker,” a 14 yo black boy who earlier this month, missed the bus and tried to walk to school. He got lost and approached a house to ask for directions.
The owners of this home were convinced that this 14 yo BOY had come to kill them (in broad daylight), causing the husband to pull out his gun and open fire on the fleeing BOY.
THAT is why this fucking package will be sitting on my porch until UPS retrieves it. Because I can’t trust that my white neighbors won’t see me, a Harvard-educated lawyer (or my 14 yo honor student son) as a roaming homicidal maniac.

After Sean shared the post, he was called out by White people in the comment section. He later wrote another post addressing this.
He wrote:

To my beloved white Fam,
I need your help understanding something. As some of you know, on Friday, I posted about being afraid to send my teenage sons over to the next block to deliver an Amazon package that had been mistakenly delivered to our house. My fear arises from the fact that one of my white neighbors might become frightened by seeing a black male approaching their house and call the police or even pull a gun on them in “self-defense.”
As a result of this post, I estimate that I received 10 THOUSAND comments from white folks calling me everything but a child of God. I was called a “racist,” “asshole,” “pussy” (by men AND women), “cuck” and SEVERAL words and phrases that rhyme with the latter term.
So why the vitriol? Because I am afraid for my children? And? Even if my fear was completely irrational, is that a reason for anger and hatred? If a stranger on FB posted about having arachnophobia, I can’t imagine that 10,000 folks would go out of their way to comment, “It’s just a spider, you dipshit! Grow a pair!”
So what accounted for this somewhat bizarre reaction to a black person expressing fear of his white neighbors, particularly in this context? After all, I did not suggest that my neighbors were “blood-thirsty savages” just looking to pounce on anyone with a package (“Free package time, Cleetus!”). I simply suggested that they might see my black sons as a threat (something that has been documented REPEATEDLY ... white Americans find black males threatening and have an exaggerated fear of us).
And once again, I can understand how someone might disagree with my risk/reward calculus and suggest that I should have acted differently. But where did the hatred arise? Because my calculation is off? Because I have poor math skills (like almost every other American)?
Seriously, does anyone have any ideas as to what caused such an intensely negative reaction from so many white folks? And I’m not asking why they thought I was wrong. I can read too (like almost every other American — barely).
I’m trying to understand where the visceral reaction comes from? What they found offensive? And why do I want to know? Because pissing off that many white people at one time was the realization of a lifelong dream and I want to be able to do it again next week.
P.S. There will be people (I’m feeling generous in using that term) who crawl into this conversation and write stupid, racist things. It’s called the Internet, Fam. So try not to get distracted by them and instead, help me understand this dynamic. After all, Friday is only 4 days away and I’ve set a goal to piss off 25,000 white folks next weekend, so I need you to help me perfect the “secret formula.”
