"The standard version [of Swahili] was neither wholly imposed by the British colonial regime in the 1920s, nor was it a 'naturally' developed tool of anti-colonial resistance... Multiple communities participated in the process." #africa #eastafrica #linguistics https://theconversation.com/kiswahili-how-a-standard-version-of-the-east-african-language-was-formed-and-spread-across-the-world-208251

It's #KM1 time! 5 cents from #Uganda 1966. Uganda gained independence from the UK on 9 October 1962. Coins for "East Africa" were used in Uganda, Tanzania & Kenya. These continued to be issued until 1964, by which time all three countries were independent from the UK. The last 1964 issues did not feature the Queen. In 1966 Uganda issued its own coins, with the smallest being this 5 cents, based on the design of the East Africa coin of the same denomination. #EastAfrica #SaturdayNightCoinShow

Our place is 30 min from #Seattle.
Nice week days like today are great for a trek that way... #pnw
This time I wanted to throw extra support Seattle's way bc it has so much to offer.
We actually visited with three other visitors. ( Talking face 2 face with strangers oh no. ) :)
Thanks Wais Ali, #EastAfrica artist at the #PikePlaceMarket, for the cool Seattle t shirt!
Slightly hazy today. Wild fire smoke. :(

In #Uganda , people have long been savvy on social media, but now they’re mobilising in online “exhibitions”. First it was the state of the #roads now it’s #health . When physical protests are banned, and other things are difficult, it’s impressive. And the government now seems to be scrambling to stop it #eastAfrica #Africa #citizens #freedomofexpression #protests

#ICYMI the #KampalaPotholeExhibition is worth checking out on #Twitter. Amazing eg of #citizen #freedomofexpression & #activism when physical protests are all but banned. And it sounds like it’s having an impact . And yes, Twitter is good for something #potholes #cities #infrastructure #Africa #eastAfrica
