Ep. 203: Fellows Fu Asiedu and Ami Tamakloe on the Anti-LGBT Bill in Ghana
<p>This week we feature an episode by our nonresident fellows Fu Asiedu and Ami Tamakloe. They discuss the anti-LGBT bill in Ghana, providing some background on the bill and the politics surrounding it. They also convene a roundtable conversation of Ghanaians discussing the realities of everyday life under this bill.<br/><br/>This is a really important episode and we’re grateful to Fu and Ami for giving a fuller sense than what our listeners might glean from international media headlines. As some of you might know, the anti-LGBT bill passed in February but since May, it has been under review in the courts. We’ll continue to follow the courts’ rulings and will keep our listeners up to date.</p><p>Find the books, links, and articles we mentioned in this episode on our website, <a href='https://www.ufahamuafrica.com/episodes/'>ufahamuafrica.com</a>. </p>

Ep. 202: Fellow Basil Ibrahim and Tedd Moya Mose on Sustainable Energy Systems
<p>Dr. Tedd Moya Mose is a legal professional whose interdisciplinary interests extend from international energy law and policy to the just transition to sustainable energy systems. In this conversation with our fellow Basil Ibrahim, they discuss Dr. Moya's participation at the Africa Climate Summit and the COP28 meetings last year and the dilemmas of developmental aspirations that remain tethered to carbon intensive pathways. <br/><br/>Moya's work at the intersection of legal and academic practice proposes a unique perspective, combining work experience from East Africa, India, the UK and the U.S. with a sympathy for vulnerable people at the sharp end of climate catastrophes. Dr. Moya is presently an Oxford Martin fellow at Oxford University.</p><p>Find the books, links, and articles we mentioned in this episode on our website, <a href='https://www.ufahamuafrica.com/episodes/'>ufahamuafrica.com</a>. </p>

Ep. 201: Fellow Expédit Ologou and Mamadou Ismaïla Konaté on Democracy (French)
<p>We have a special French-language episode this week with Mamadou Ismaïla Konaté, a well-known Malian lawyer, working in the Bars of Mali and Paris. He has been a Minister of Justice of Mali (2016-17). He is leading a professional association focusing on the development of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). <br/><br/>In this episode with our fellow Expédit Ologou, Konaté argues that democracy is the worst political system except all the others. In spite of the ongoing military regimes in some countries, democracy should and will survive. But this will depend on the capacities of mobilization and resistance of the citizens and organizations all over the continent. Before and above all, the rehabilitation of democracy in Africa has undoubtedly to do with the reinvigoration of the fundamental pillars of freedom, equality and justice, and fundamentally, the reinvigoration of the rule of law. </p><p>Find the books, links, and articles we mentioned in this episode on our website, <a href='https://www.ufahamuafrica.com/episodes/'>ufahamuafrica.com</a>. </p>
