#Regenwald.org In #Uganda gehen Behörden hart gegen Kritiker von #Erdöl-Projekten vor. Neun Studenten stehen in #Kampala vor Gericht, weil sie gegen die Pipeline #EACOP protestiert haben. Die jungen Männer sind lediglich auf Kaution frei und warten auf ihren Prozess. Der Vorwurf: ihre Demo habe öffentliches Ärgernis erregt. Dahinter stehen die Ölkonzerne #TotalEnergies aus #Frankreich und #China National Offshore Oil Corporation (#CNOOC). https://www.regenwald.org/petitionen/1269/uganda-protest-gegen-erdoel-pipeline-ist-nicht-kriminell?mtu=581694698&t=16799

#TIL ...
"Early #Afrikaans developed as a pidgin from both #Dutch and #Malay. Its writing, pioneered mainly by religious teachers of Malay origin, was in the #Arabic script. Over time, the script was modified in parts to suit the needs of spoken Afrikaans. Arabic was the script of early Afrikaans from the 18th century. The first two written texts in Afrikaans were commentaries on the Qu'ran, their publication funded by the #Ottoman empire."
Why does this matter?
"Research on the written tradition in #Africa is relatively recent. Part of the reason lies in the wide acceptance of two assumptions: that Africa is an oral civilization, and that the literature written in Arabic is not part of African civilization."

Here’s my updated story that I filed just before I left #Kampala .Was in transit when I got a message from an activist friend saying it had gone through, hadn’t even arrived back. It’s lightning speed for this bill and lightning speed for legislation in #Uganda , sadly.
