Thread: Around the world, women in journalism defy stereotypes and threats in a profession that has long been dominated by men.

No woman journalist should face violence or harassment for her work. For #InternationalWomensDay, CPJ highlights the cases of brave women journalists.

In Ukraine, @olya_rudenko, editor of @KyivIndependent, has been covering Russia’s invasion of the country,

“No one knows where is safe to be,” she said in a February 24 video on Twitter.

As a queer journalist, Maryam Abasian’s sexual and professional identity had long put her at risk in Iran. After authorities repeatedly summoned her for questioning, she fled the country.

[1/17] 'New Frame' press statement:
Friday 9 July 2021
PR operation to mask repression in eSwatini

[2/17] Magnificent Mndebele and Cebelihle Mbuyisa, the two 'New Frame' journalists who were assaulted and tortured in the Sigodvweni police station in eSwatini on Sunday 4 July, are in Johannesburg.

[3/17] After a full debriefing, it is clear that the torture to which they were subjected was worse than we initially understood when only limited communication was possible via the quick use of a borrowed phone while the two were in hiding.

.@NewFrame_News warns South African media “to keep a critical and principled distance from @VumaReputation and any other PR firm working in the interests of violently repressive dictatorships.”
#Eswatini
#VumaReputationMustFall

“We [@NewFrame_News] note that there is an organised effort to deny the plain fact that our journalists were tortured in the Sigodvweni police station and to circulate an entirely and demonstrable false account of events.”
#eSwatini
#VumaReputationMustFall

“New Frame has also been contacted by @VumaReputation. This PR firm represents the interests of the #eSwatini state. It has also contacted journalists in other media orgs with the aim of bending the narrative towards the interests of a highly repressive police…”

To get a proper full picture of #KingMswati’s family’s opulence, business dealings, scandals spend some time on the @RoyalLeeches Facebook page. Keep scrolling. Disgusting stuff. facebook.com/Swazirevolutio…
#EswatiniLivesMatter

For example, in 2018 for #KingMswati’s birthday @MTNza subsidiary @MTNSwaziland presented him with a R1 million cheque as a birthday present, @PanMacmillanSA which supplies many schools in #eSwatini with book gave him R394K.

The information is out there. Dig! 👏🏾

If you see on the @RoyalLeeches page. A lot of the watches are from Jacob & Co. Why? @amaBhungane investigated a few years ago. mg.co.za/article/2015-1…

#KingMswati’s business dealings are hidden in plain sight, they just need to be connected to present the full picture.

My current #Working #Research #Topic: "A Review of the #CommonMonetaryArea of #SouthernAfrica: Are Client Countries Better-off De-Linking from the #Anchor #Economy?". I'm using #OptimumCurrencyArea #OCA #Theory to analyse the #CMA arrangement. Draft will be ready January end..!

The #CommonMonetaryArea of #SouthernAfrica or #CMA could seem to some (mostly the technically inclined) to be a no-brainer & a clear natural #OptimumCurrencyArea given the historical links between the #anchor #SouthAfrica & the #clients (#Lesotho #Eswatini & #Namibia)...

Be that as it may, 2020 marks 46 years since the #RandMonetaryArea - #RMA agreement and 34 years since the RMA was revised to establish the #CommonMonetaryArea - #CMA between #SouthAfrica, #Lesotho, Swaziland (now, #Eswatini) and #Namibia...
