• Remembering the past
  4 novembre 2015

  “Gays are worse than pigs and dogs,” Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe is on record to have said. Uganda’s Yoweri Museveni, who has described gays as “disgusting” people ; and Yahyah Jammeh of The Gambia, who says gays are “mosquitoes” and “vermin”. They are homophobes.
  Most African countries have a strong anti-gay cultural environment reinforced by stern anti-gay laws. Uganda and Nigeria passed separate anti-gay laws about a year ago, which prescribe harsh custodial sentences for gays. Homosexuals (…)

  On November 4, 2018, following major international news coverage of the inflammatory remarks, Tanzania’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement that a proposed (…)

  5 septembre 2011, par Idriss Linge

  Jonas et Francky, arrêtés au mois de juillet 2011 pour pratique homosexuelle présumée, devront encore attendre pour être fixés sur leur sort
  L’ouverture du procès pour homosexualité de deux jeunes camerounais a été interrompue pour des questions de procédure. Bien que nous soyons dans la procédure de flagrant délit, c’est-à-dire d’urgence, le tribunal, qui a rejeté la mise en demande de liberté provisoire, a rendu un jugement dont on n’a pas retrouvé la trace aujourd’hui dans le dossier, (…)

  15 décembre 2014

  The Liberian Council of Churches has blamed Ebola on homosexuality. It’s tragic enough that 10,000 people have contracted Ebola in the region, and that half of them have died.

  12 avril 2013

  A bill proposing that gay and lesbian Ugandans be executed is coming back to Uganda’s Parliament - it could pass at any moment. Worse yet, rumours are suggesting that the bill has been changed in committee and we may not have a chance to see it before it is rushed through.
  President Museveni once promised that he would not sign this bill into law. With pressure mounting on him to support the bill, only a massive global outcry - along with our friends in Uganda - will make him keep his (…)
