“We have an archaic idea of what family is,” says Brooks in a new episode of The Idea File. The nuclear family unit, Brooks argues, is a privilege of the wealthy. Across the world, 38 percent of people still live with extended family. And over the past half-century, the share of people living alone in America has doubled. The nuclear family is no longer the norm—and it should no longer be the ideal.

In this video we travelled to see my mom in The Gambia after 5yrs in Netherlands.We miss her so so so much and I was so happy we saw each other again and she saw the girls too.

in The Gambia is where I am born and raised.I love it so so much and I was super excited we travelled in January 2023 to see my mom.

The Gambia is so beautiful,amazing and the people are so so friendly,nice,welcoming,entertaining and that’s why it’s called the smiling coast of West Africa.

The Gambia is surrounded by Senegal at three sides and The Gambia has a population of 2.8 million people.The Gambia has lots of hotels,shopping centre and supermarkets,fun parks etc etc.

The Gambia is one is one of the tourist holiday destination during winter time and to fly to The Gambia from The Netherlands or United Kingdom is only 6hrs by flight.

My mom cooked lunch for us the next day and it’s a typical Gambian food called Yassa(Grilled fish) and it was so so delicious.

We enjoyed and had fun at Djembe Hotel and it’s one of the most beautiful hotels in The Gambia.They have a nice pool and next to the hotel is a beach which is so amazing as well.

Afrikai migrációs folyamatok, afrikai diaszpóra
Prof. Dr. Tarrósy István egyetemi tanár (PTE BTK); igazgató (PTE Nemzetközi Igazgatóság; PTE Afrika Kutatóközpont) előadása

Az előadás történeti kontextusban tekinti át az afrikai vándorlásokat és azok következményeit lokális, térségi és globális értelemben. A globalizáció egyik kitüntetett vizsgálódási terepeként szolgáló nemzetközi migrációs folyamatokban hosszú ideje az afrikaiak is természetesen részt vesznek, az afrikai területek és közösségek is érintettek. Az előadás a leegyszerűsítő nézetekkel és kijelentésekkel szemben kínál tényeken és terepi kutatások eredményein nyugvó higgadt elemzést az afrikai migráció sokszínű és összetett valóságáról. Hangsúlyosan foglalkozik az afrikai diaszpórával, különösen a posztkommunista térségekben élő afrikai közösségekkel.
Az előadás magyar nyelvű.

A borítókép Arushában (Tanzánia) készült 2017 novemberében.
A felvétel 2022. október 20-án készült Pécsett, a Művészetek és Irodalom Házában.

ENGLISH
African migration processes, African diaspora
Hungarian lecture with English subtitle by Prof. Istvan Tarrosy (director, International Centre of the University of Pécs; director, Africa Research Centre of the University of Pécs)

The lecture examines African migrations in a historical context and their consequences in a local, regional and global sense. For a long time, Africans have been involved in the international migration processes, which serve as one of the distinguished study areas of globalization, and African territories and communities are also affected. In contrast to simplistic views and statements, the presentation offers a calm analysis of the diverse and complex reality of African migration, based on facts and the results of field research. The emphasis is placed on the African diaspora, particularly African communities in post-communist regions.
The lecture will be held in Hungarian.
The cover photo was made in Arusha (Tansania) in 2017

The lecture was held in 20 October 2022 in the House of Arts and Literature, in Pécs, Hungary.

Apart from certain countries such as South Africa, Africa has relatively low per-capita Covid-19 infection rates compared with other parts of the world. But the economic and health challenges are significant because of the continent’s relatively less developed economies and infrastructure.

As the pandemic continues to ravage the world, what policy responses should African governments take to secure livelihoods and economic recovery while containing the virus? Besides debt relief from the World Bank and other multilateral institutions, what else could be done to provide the fiscal space to help African countries survive and thrive in the post-pandemic world? How do geopolitics, particularly the US-China strategic competition, affect Africa’s fight against the pandemic?

Join AsiaGlobal Fellows Charity Amayaenvbo (Nigeria), George Lwanda (South Africa), Clayton Hazvinei Vhumbunu (Zimbabwe) and Kadidia Konare (Mali) as they offer on-the-ground insights on Africa’s Covid-19 responses.

Lately, there has been a a rapid rise in crimes in The Gambia and a lot of people currently feel unsafe. Just last week, about 3 different organized crimes happened in the greater Banjul area alone. There was a broad day light armed robbery, the house on an Imam in Pipeline was burned down and the house of a top UK based Gambian business man was broken into. As a result, The Lutakh Gambia du dem show yesterday engaged David Kujabi, the Public Relations Officer of The Gambia Police Force on key issues affecting the country especially in the area of Security.

According to the Police P.R.O of The Gambia Police Force, "This thing needs to be looked at holistically. Let us not just sit back and say that there's a lot of crimes happening. Are we asking out the questions as to why are people engaging in crimes? Unless we sit back and answer these questions, saying that the police is not doing much or is not doing their nothing is not going to help anybody at all. "

He further cited the lack of unemployment as a potential cause for the increase in the crime rate in the country.

When questioned about whether there has been an increase in the crime rate in the country since January of 2017 when President Barrow took office till now or has it decreased or at the same level, Kujabi said
"Since I do not have the statistics, for now I can't say authoritatively but then even the lay man would notice that there has been some kind of a rise in crime. How much it has risen, I can't say for certain.
When further challenged as to why he does not have the statistics, Mr. Kujabi said "the question about whether there is a rise in crimes in The Gambia since December 2016 to now, like I said, I have answered either questions, I do have statistics that I can quote right now but from a lay man's point of view, there seems to be a rise in crimes. Isn't that answer enough for you?"

Mr Kujabi closed by saying : " I know that times are hard right now and some people will tend to despair, but if anything at all, this is the time when we should come together. The problems we are facing in The Gambia right now are not desirable. Crimes specially is not something we want in our country and if we want to have them stopped, we should come together and work as Gambia and not put it entirely in the hands of the police which is heavily under resourced." He concluded
