To situate the conception of Qwani, as with all other Literary collectives in Kenya, demands that we understand what Carey Baraka said in his 2019 article, “The Kenyan Literary Hustle.” In a conversation he was having with a fellow Enkare Review founder, the fellow said, “In a few years, a new group of kids will come up and decide that the lit scene in Kenya does not work, and gatekeepers be gatekeeping and that we need new names, and they will start something new.” That was in 2016. Fast forward to October 2022, and a group of eight 20-year-old kids…

The incentives of social media for both users and companies are at odds with the nuance and de-escalation requirements of transitional justice. This, writes Mesfin Fikre Woldmariam, could have dangerous implications for the future. Transitional justice (TJ) peace talks require the participation of many stakeholders and entities. These include the families of victims, government, civil society organisations, researchers, and the media.

People usually read and watch content that comes their way (through algorithmic recommendation) rather than deliberately searching for content of interest. But, in…

Once reserved for ceremonies and tradition, the Bubu has become one of fashion’s most versatile silhouettes. From Lagos to Marrakech, designers are reimagining this West African robe with modern fabrics and global appeal, proving that heritage and elegance can evolve together.

It is the garment of grandmothers hosting Sunday lunch, of dignitaries arriving at cultural events, of women moving through markets with a grace that feels almost choreographed. Yet in 2025, this symbol of heritage has stepped beyond its ceremonial frame, staking its claim as one of…

On the other hand, Uganda is home to the rare mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and offers incredible biodiversity. By considering what you want to see, such as specific animals or landscapes, and the…
“What strength is that?” asked Sérgio Godinho, one of the most important Portuguese singer-songwriters, in 1972, when Portugal was still submerged in the long night of fascism—dragging out the agony of its colonial system, condemning people to an unjust war, and spreading the carnage in massacres like the one that took place that year in Wiriyamu, Mozambique.
