En tant qu'#Afrifem nous avons tant à apprendre de détermination de @drstellanyanzi de compromettre avec la dictature et de sa à se libérer des injonctions à la respectabilité. Elle incarne la notion de "radical rudeness" (vulgarité radicale). Quelle femme!

En prison, @drstellanyanzi a écrit 'No Roses From My Mouth'- un recueil de poèmes à couper le souffle, publié en cachette par @SharingUbuntu. À lire absolument.
Elle a eu le soutien indéfectible de féministes comme @RosebellK. Une perle.

People hate on January but I love the buzz I get from setting goals for the year ahead. @nas009 takes things to a whole new level by sharing her 2020 sex and relationship goals on @adventurefrom. You'll want to grab a pen and write your own!

Speaking of goals-setting (of another kind entirely), the government of #Mexico has unveiled new guidance for diplomats and it meets the standards of a #feminist foreign policy, according to @lyricthompson of @ICRW. Fascinating and promising!

“I want, like you, to steadily & surely offend anything that stands in the way of freedom, liberation, love, justice, truth, humanity. Let me be rude, let me be all these things, if all they are trying to say is that I am free, unbound”

*imprisoned
At her sentencing for harassing #Ugandan dictator Yoweri Museveni, feminist academic & activist Dr. Stella Nyanzi -who appeared via a screen - staged a nude protest & shouted “fuck you fuck you.” She is a revolutionary engaging in the “radical rudeness” of anti-colonial activists
#FF @RosebellK who has been covering Stella Nyanzi’s trial.
Stella said they brought her to dock in prison to hear her sentence against her will.
Nyanzi has used nude prostest before to show her indignation. probably first time anyone has stripped in court to protest the justice system in Uganda

Son poème là! Extrait traduit vite fait:
"Si seulement le pus acide qui inonde le canal vaginal maudit d'Esiteri avait brûlé le foetus que tu étais alors,
Brûlé comme les institutions publiques en Ouganda dont tu as érodé le professionalisme et la moralité"

Contexte:
- Poème publié le lendemain de l'anniversaire de Museveni.
- Esiteri c'est la mère du président.
Moi qui ai grandi dans un pays où il m'était interdit de prononcer le nom du dictat..euh, président... Imaginez ma réaction!

1) ICYMI - Yesterday, Ugandan feminist Stella Nyanzi was found guilty of cyber harassment for writing a derogatory poem about the Ugandan President. She will be sentenced today. This is how she appeared in court yesterday, after months in max security prison 👇🏾

2) Defiant doesn't even begin to cover it. Stella Nyanzi made a point of showing the court, and the world, that she would not display the fear and remorse people expect from women who are punished for speaking up against injustice.

3) Stella was like: I'm a mother but you will not use my love for my children to silence it. I'm fighting this dessicated dictator for my kids (I'm paraphrasing here coz that's how I heard it: follow @RosebellK for quotes and videos)

Stella Nyanzi owned and took pride in offending dictator Museveni. Stella Nyanzi is a revolutionary.
#Ugandan feminist @RosebellK live tweeted Stella Nyanzi’s verdict hearing today and filmed Nyanzi’s powerful and defiant words.

Watch this: “I planned to offend Yoweri Museveni Kaguta because he has offended us for 30 plus years,” Stella Nyanzi via @tumwesigye_ #Uganda #PushForStellaNyanzi
I am disappointed that you don’t find me guilty of offending the president. I plan to offend Yoweri Museveni Kaguta because he has offended us. Find me guilty of offending the dictator.”

My favorite: @FunmiB's spot-on piece about accountability between woke #feminist circles, and what it means for how we define #sisterhood. Published in the ever so excellent @AfriFeminists blog.

"Who does your humility serve?" Loved @TheJamaJack's glorious celebration of her own dopeness! But her insights on why many women shy away from embracing their greatness felt like a deep cut. A reminder for me to fight my impostor's syndrome.

Feminist scholar @drstellanyanzi will appear again in court on Monday on charges of “offending” #Ugandan dictator Yoweri Museveni and his late mother. Fuck civility. Fuck politeness. Tyranny and authoritarianism are not civil nor polite.
Nyanzi faces a 1 year prison sentence if convicted for posting a poem on Facebook wishing Museveni’s mother’s birth canal had poisoned him upon birth to save #Uganda from him. The poem ends with “You Should Have Died At Birth, Oh Dirty Delinquent Dictator.” #FreeStellaNyanzi
Read this by @MKSerumaga: “A controversial scholar attacks Museveni with her incendiary pen. She is accused of bad manners. But is she more badly behaved than a regime that peels away the skin of its people?”

Fuck civility: feminist scholar @drstellanyanzi is on trial for “offending” Uganda's president, Yoweri Museveni. She is a proponent of "radical rudeness", a traditional Ugandan strategy for unsettling the powerful through the tactical use of public insult. ifex.org/uganda/2018/12…
Nyanzi was detained for 5wks in 2017 for calling Museveni a “pair of buttocks” - her least profane criticism of him. She currently faces a 1yr prison sentence if convicted for poem she posted wishing Museveni’s mother’s birth canal had poisoned him upon birth to save #Uganda.
Nyanzi’s next Court appearance is Dec 10. Her lawyer has said he hoped to be able to question President Museveni as "the first witness" to the alleged offences. "We're going to prepare to cross-examine the president on all matters concerning the vagina". #FreeStellaNyanzi
