A transição que não acaba: Quando a incerteza se torna método - PRIF BLOG

Quase cinco meses depois de um golpe de Estado ter interrompido o processo eleitoral na Guiné-Bissau, a violência política e a repressão contra civis e contra os meios de comunicação social têm contribuído para uma transição política sem fim corroendo as perspetivas democráticas. Numa dinâmica conversacional, reunimos as nossas perspetivas enquanto investigadora em paz e conflitos, jornalista e professor, e investigadora em estudos dos media. Considerando a recente morte de um ativista político e as ameaças dirigidas a órgãos de comunicação social como um retrato do momento atual, refletimos sobre um padrão regional mais amplo no qual governos de transição prolongam a sua permanência no poder através do uso estratégico da violência política e da incerteza.

📢 "Democracy postponed, like justice postponed, is democracy denied" – Taking the recent death of political activist Vigário Luís Balanta and threats against media houses as a snapshot of the current situation in Guinea-Bissau, Sophia Birchinger, Namandin Injai and Johanna Mack reflect on a broader regional pattern in which transitional governments prolong their hold on power by strategically using political violence and uncertainty.

The Never-Ending Transition: When Uncertainty Becomes the Norm - PRIF BLOG

Four months after a coup interrupted the electoral process in Guinea-Bissau, political violence and repression against civilians and the media have contributed to an unending political transition while eroding democratic prospects. We reflect on a broader regional pattern in which transitional governments prolong their hold on power by strategically using political violence and uncertainty.

Mi primer sello de Guinea-Bissau y mi primer sello de una orca (Orcinus orca). Fue emitido en el año 1984 con sólo 95.000 ejemplares en circulación en una serie dedicada a ballenas.
Muchas veces, cuando pensamos en estas especies nos vamos muy lejos y es un error porque la orca surca nuestros mares, tanto el mediterráneo, incluído el estrecho de gibraltar persiguiendo al atún rojo, como en las costas atlánticas y el mar cantábrico.
Hay normativas que establecen que, en el caso de que el encuentro se produzca, no podemos acercarnos, debiendo matener una distancia mínima de 500 metros. El motivo es variado pero han llegado a romper partes de embarcaciones lo que ha traído de cabeza a gobiernos y se han generado proyectos de investigación para ver qué se puede hacer al respecto. Se me ocurren dos cosas: limitar las molestias, respetar su ambiente y no destruir su comida.
No obstante, a pesar de los peligros que entraña para su bienestar el molestar a gobiernos me quito el sombrero, quizá es el comienzo de lo que a veces fantaseamos como la revolución animal. Chicken run ya nos da pistas de por dónde pueden ir los tiros.
Aquí dejo la página del ministerio dedicada a la especie: https://www.miteco.gob.es/es/biodiversidad/temas/biodiversidad-marina/habitats-especies-marinos/especies-marinas/bm_hayem_em_orcas.html

Dessert edition!

Guinea-Bissau is represented by Raivas (Cinnamon Cookies). Made for dunking, we tried them with a matcha latte, hot chocolate, and coffee. They were delicious and all 18 disappeared instantly! Like a softer version of biscotti. Very tasty. I made half in the traditional random squiggles and half like breadsticks.

Guinea-Bissau is represented by Abacate Recheado Com Atum (Tuna Stuffed Avocados). This was delicious. It felt spring-like. Simple and refreshing. Both recipes for Guinea-Bissau highlight the impact of Portuguese colonial history on the culinary traditions!

Up next, Guyana!
