| Bukom boxers draw on a long fighting tradition: "This is where the magic happens," says Carl Lokko, a boxing coach. His gym in Accra has two punchbags, a weights machine and a tin roof. A dozen young men, all sweat and sinew, are shadow-boxing or skipping furiously. "Everybody wants to be a boxer," says one, fists thudding into an invisible opponent. He calls himself "Rich Man" Ashiley, a name which betrays his ambition. He says he fights for money and the chance "to go outside", to Europe or America. Read the rest culled from The Economist... |

| Partier: Fler ska donera organ: L:s och KD:s partiledningar vill ha
ett nytt donationsregister. Alla över
18 år ska skrivas in automatiskt, och
vill man inte donera sina organ måste
man själv anmäla det.
-De länder som har lyckats öka sina
organdonationer, det är länder som
har sådana här organdonationsregister
där du förutsätter att personer vill
donera sina organ, säger Ella Bohlin
i KD:s partistyrelse till SR:s Ekot.
Även C och V har liknande idéer.
Cirka 1,7 miljoner svenskar har anmält sig till donationsregistret - SVT Text. |

Ousman Manjang passes on in The Gambia: One of the best known African personalities in the intellectual and political scene in the African immigrant community in Stockholm in the 70s and 80s, Ousman Manjang, passed away in the Gambia on Sunday October 6, 2019. He was buried shortly after according to Islamic rites. Manjang was 67 and is survived by a son and two daughters living, respectively, in England and Sweden. We very deeply regret the loss of Ousman Manjang and express hereby our deepest condolences to family, relatives and all. Anthony Turkson, who knew Manjang well, pays a glowing tribute to him.

| Twi, Yoruba and Amharic are spreading in Chicago: Twi is spreading in Chicago. WGHC is an FM radio station housed in a gloomy third-floor room above an African hair-braiding shop (“Human Wigs, 100% virgin”). It broadcasts African music and talk in Twi, and other languages, largely to African-born listeners in the city. Its shows play, for example, from speakers mounted in the Makola African Supermarket. The shop’s owner says customers usually speak Twi too, although Nigerians who come for palm oil, okra powder, foufou, yams and beans rely on English. The African born migrant population in the US is doubling every decade. Read the rest of this interesting piece... |
