Wasser und BuchIm Rauschmit Édouard Louis und Lena Schätte
Josef wünscht sich wieder mehr Tiefe von Édouard Louis. Lena Schättes Debüt „Das Schwarz an den Händen meines Vaters“ lässt dagegen keine Wünsche offen. Was uns zu der Frage führt: ist Fiktion vielleicht die bessere Autofiktion? Außerdem reden wir über hochpolitische Penis-Tattoos, posthume Begnadigungen unschuldiger Aktivisten und das Vermächtnis des Aimé Césaire, der in dieser Woche Geburtstag gefeiert hätte.

Radio Onda RossaRadio Africa: Ruanda e RDCongo, Ecowas, NigeriaRuanda e Repubblica Democratica del Congo: il 18 giugno scorso è stato approvato il testo, ancora provvisorio, di un accordo di pace tra Ruanda e Repubblica Democratica del Congo che sarà firmato il 27 giugno, a Washington, alla presenza del Segretario di Stato Marco Rubio. L'amministrazione Trump, infatti, sta tentando di intestarsi il merito dell'accordo, nel tentativo di assicurarsi intese economiche con entrambi i paesi, in contrapposizione con la Cina.

YouTube FeedNigeria posthumously pardons activist Ken Saro-Wiwa. His daughter says he should be exonerated.To mark Democracy Day in Nigeria on Thursday, President Bola Tinubu posthumously pardoned human activist Ken Saro-Wiwa and other members of the Ogoni Nine, a group of activists from the oil-rich Niger Delta executed by the military junta in 1995. The World's Carol Hill heard from Noo Saro-Wiwa, a writer and the daughter of the Ken Saro-Wiwa. She says the pardon is a step in the right direction, but falls short of the exoneration her family has long sought.2025-06-1305 min
The Republic‘We All Stand Before History’In 2006, Nigerian-British sculptor, Sokari Douglas-Camp, was commissioned by human and environment rights organization, Platform, to create a work of art in honour of the memory of Ken Saro-Wiwa. Douglas-Camp created a life-sized replica of a Nigerian steel bus, called ‘Battle Bus: Living Memorial for Ken Saro-Wiwa’. It was an artistic symbol of movement and change. In 2015, 20 years after the execution of the Ogoni Nine, Platform planned to commemorate the Ogoni Nine execution and wanted Douglas-Camp’s Battle Bus to feature at the event held in Bori, Saro-Wiwa’s hometown. But when the battle bus arrived at the Lagos Se...2025-02-161h 43
The RepublicThe ExecutionOn 22 May 1995, the final phase of the Ogoni Nine trial began. The Ogoni Nine had been in detention since May 1994. Ken Saro-Wiwa’s health was declining, and had taken a turn for the worse. Still, the Special Military Tribunal resumed trial. With their lawyers, Femi Falana and Gani Fawehinmi having retired (due to being frustrated by the government), the Ogoni Nine were left without legal representation. If they were found guilty of murder, they would get the capital sentence of death. This was all anyone in Nigeria at the time could think of. After the courts pronounced the Ogoni Ni...2025-02-0934 min
The RepublicThe Kangaroo CourtOn 19 January 1994, General Abacha, who had been Nigeria’s head of state for just two months, sent a federal ministerial committee to Ogoniland to meet with Ken Saro-Wiwa in Saro-Wiwa's hometown of Bori. The primary mission of the committee was to investigate the oil crisis in the Niger Delta region and make a report on how to solve the crisis. The committee consisted of Alex Ibru, the federal minister of internal affairs; Chief Donald Etiebet, the minister of petroleum resources; Melford Okilo, the minister of tourism and commerce; and Lieutenant Colonel Dauda Musa Komo, the military governor of Rivers St...2025-01-2635 min
The RepublicThe Political Rise of Ken Saro-Wiwa: Part II1973 began with Ken Saro-Wiwa being more publicly critical than ever of the Nigerian government he was a part of. Increasingly, he served two masters: he was a government commissioner and he was also advocating for the autonomy of the Ogoni people over their political and economic affairs. Fresh out of a civil war, Nigeria’s authorities were intolerant of any form of agitation or activism, especially for ethnic autonomy.
But Saro-Wiwa persisted. He wrote petitions against Shell, and published articles like ‘Genocide in Nigeria: the Ogoni Tragedy’. Through these acts, Saro-Wiwa effectively crossed a line and the governm...2025-01-1152 min
The RepublicThe Political Rise of Ken Saro-Wiwa: Part IIn photos of the January 4 1993 Ogoni rally, Ken Saro-Wiwa stands out. You can sense his passion, his energy but more curiously his pull. These are very dangerous times to be protesting. Only days before, the Babangida military regime had placed a ban on public gatherings. So what was it about the Ogoni movement that made it (to borrow from the American writer, Toni Cade Bambara ) ‘irresistible’ to Saro-Wiwa? Saro-Wiwa was pretty well off and could have lived a much more convenient, non-political life. At the same time, Nigeria is a highly unequal society where the wealthy are ofte...2024-12-2950 min
The RepublicAbacha’s OfferYou’re probably wondering why we chose to start this season talking about General Sani Abacha, the despot who ruled Nigeria from 1993 until his mysterious death in 1998. The short answer is this: if we really want to understand what Ken Saro-Wiwa, the protagonist of our story this season, was up against, we have to understand Abacha.
What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? During much of Abacha’s regime, this was the dynamic between Abacha and Saro-Wiwa. But at one point Abacha seemed to give way, to extend an olive branch. In 1994, around two month...2024-12-2248 min

The Nigerian writer-turned-activist started campaigning to defend the rights of his people, the Ogoni, from the oil drilling that was destroying their land and way of life. But Ken paid a price.

However, his political and environmental involvement caught the attention of Nigeria’s military government. In 1990, Saro-Wiwa founded MOSOP, the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People, through which he and other supporters pressed...2017-11-1000 min
