As many of our listeners will know, there have been racist uprisings across England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. The trigger for the riots was disinformation: that three small girls stabbed to death in Southport on 29 July had been killed by a Muslim asylum seeker. In fact, the suspected killer was born in Cardiff to […]

As John Holloway described the book (https://darajapress.com/publication/a… “A fabulous book.

She illuminates the invisible Black voices inside, a radical, surgical, and unapologetic Black appropriation, at the same time as a careful birthing and […]

Kali Akuno, the co-founder of Cooperation Jackson, recently wrote that “we have a little less than two years before the neo-confederates and neo-fascists install a reactionary dictatorship by the end of January 2025.” What can be done under such circumstances given the rise and confidence of the right and the weakness of the left in […]
We learned of the brutal armed attack on Radio Ada, Ghana’s oldest and best-known community broadcaster on 13 January 2022 . This attack endangered workers of the Station and studio guests resulting in the damage to equipment and attempting to stop the voice of a broadcaster that spoke out on a wide range of economic, political, and cultural matters. The attackers stated that their objective was to halt the continued broadcast of information and voicing of local public opinion relating to the ongoing struggle over Songor Lagoon. They threatened further reprisals if this journalism did not cease. To learn more about what happened, I speak with Julius Odoi, graduate of the University of Ghana and a experienced Community Radio broadcaster. Julius has a 10 years broadcasting experience in community radio broadcasting and volunteers with Radio Ada in the Ada-East District of Ghana. Also, Julius is the external Communication office for Radio Ada.
