2025: Life is for the living. A walk with the memories of those we have loved.

Alhamdulilah! Master of Global Affairs in Governance and Policy and International Peace Studies. I want to thank Allah the Almighty for this opportunity, and my wife, my parents, my in-laws, the Bone family, and all friends for your support throughout this journey.

On Friday, 21 November 2025, South African women will silence the nation. We call on all women and members of the LGBTQI community across South Africa to refrain from all paid and unpaid work in workplaces, universities, homes, and communities to demonstrate the economic and social impact of their absence. Because until South Africa stops burying a woman every 2.5 hours, the G20 cannot speak of growth and progress. We demand that Gender-Based Violence and Femicide be declared a National Disaster. Not tomorrow. Not at another summit. Now! Join the G20 Women’s Shutdown. Withdraw Your Power on 21 November. Spread the message across South Africa and beyond. Let’s show the world the power of women. #WomenForChange #WomenShutdown #UnburyTheTruth #G20

🟥 “Silence is the language of the oppressor.” 🔳Sudanese journalist Naji-Al Kurshabi breaks down mid-interview, saying he wishes he could write the stories instead of speak them because the pain of saying them aloud is unbearable. 🔳What’s happening in Sudan is not distant. It’s the same story as Gaza, as Syria the world watching while entire families are starved into silence and cities reduced to ash. Oppression has no borders. No colour. No excuse. If you care about justice in Gaza, you must care about Sudan too. 🔴Watch this man’s voice crack then ask yourself why those responsible are still met with handshakes, not handcuffs. @MENAUncensored @waladkosti
