Thanks! I think/hope the audio might be a perfect way to conclude my contextual chapter on Sikasso, bringing things "full circle" from the very first incursions in 2015, then already called the Katiba Khalid ibn Walid.

Thanks for sharing this. Do you have the audio? Curious to hear what the message says!

Who defines danger, how, and why? I dive into how media, diplomats, NGOs, academics (yes, us too!) co-produce narratives of danger, all in the name of 'safety' but in fact perpetrating epistemic violence.

It is also a deeply personal reflection on my own positionality.

They were released and turned up in the Netherlands. So the Belgian NGO that is tracking their social media also filed a complaint in the Netherlands (they probably went there due to the Netherlands´ stronger support for the genocide)
