Must-read. A cautionary tale against impunity & appeasement — and a wake up call for anyone still defending unchecked U.S. support for the current Israeli administration. Please read 🙏

TODAY we stand with the residents of #IlajeOtumara who are facing an imminent threat of eviction — in violation of court orders and despite longstanding engagement with the Lagos State Urban Renewal Agency around in situ community regeneration. #EndForcedEviction

HAPPENING NOW: Residents of #IlajeOtumara community protest peacefully at the office of Babajide Sanwo-Olu to avert imminent forced eviction of over 10,000 people in violation of court orders and election promises made. Please join us in supporting their struggle. #EndForcedEviction

We wholeheartedly condemn the threat of eviction in blatant disregard of subsisting court orders binding Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) — and also the shameless smear campaign in service of selfish land grab. #IlajeOtumara is a peaceful, well-organized & deeply resilient community. #EndForcedEviction

Dusk falls on the lake, A fishing fleet appears, and  the horizon sings An image and haiku from #Bukavu in 2013. My heart and thoughts are with the people of North & South Kivu during these terrible last weeks. #FreeCongo

My conspiracy theory is that the Kremlin is now funding Nigerian social media influencers to weaken any faith left in liberal democracy and prepare the soil for a Russia-backed military takeover. Of course, the loot-focused dunces in APC and Aso Rock are making this too easy.

We are already in an ideological global war and there is a new scramble for Africa. Are we going to sustain the democratic push of the 1990s to 2010s or are we rolling back into the Cold War proxy-strongman era of the 1960s to 1980s?

This weekend, #IlajeOtumara community gathered for a screening of #thelegendofthevagabondqueenoflagos — provoking discussion on next steps in resistance to face looming threat of #ForcedEviction of 10,000+ people in the area — stand with us to #SaveOtumara & #EndForcedEvictions

READ: Our joint press statement w/ Global Rights NG EiE Nigeria CEEHOPE-ChildsRights & LUDI on ongoing #ForcedEviction at #IlajeOtumara & #BabaIjora communities in #Lagos — join us in demanding #Justice4Otumara, immediate relief & rebuilding for 10,000+ evictees. #EndForcedEvictions

Amnesty International Nigeria Housing is a human right, not a privilege No one should be rendered homeless overnight without due process, alternatives, or justice. The Lagos State Government must be held accountable for this cruelty. #StopForcedEvictions

Une autre réalité... Ce n’est pas Gaza. Ce n’est pas l’est de l’Ukraine. Il s’agit d’Ilaje Otumara, au cœur de la partie continentale de Lagos. "Aucun développement ne doit ignorer la vie, la #santé mentale et physique et les #droitshumains des citoyens." #EndforcedEviction #odd
