We bid farewell to Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o, Kenya’s literary giant and fearless voice for the oppressed. His words gave life to our stories, his courage challenged empires, and his vision decolonized our minds.

Abdul Saboor is an Afghan refugee and photographer based in Paris. During 2017 he was stuck in Serbia, due to the new border closure. He lived in an informal camp behind the Belgrade Central Station. There he started to take pictures with his phone & later with a donated digital camera. Abdul Saboor

This speaks to my PhD research: migrants aren’t to blame for housing crises. Policies favoring landlords and political elites push migrants into informal housing, exposing systemic inequalities. Let’s address the real causes, not scapegoat the vulnerable. #Migrants #AsylumSeekers #refugees

Climate change is NOT an anomaly.
Climate change is a REALITY

CLIMATE CHANGE IS ONE THING NOT SEVERAL THINGS
