African Journalists Against Genocide: A call to protect media workers in Gaza.

Описание: A coalition of African journalists has united under the banner of African Journalists Against Genocide (AJAG), condemning Israel’s deliberate targeting of Palestinian media workers in Gaza. Spearheaded by Nigerian broadcaster Ireti Bakare-Yusuf, AJAG includes journalists from over 20 African nations who have issued a powerful joint statement and video message. The group denounces the killing of more than 250 journalists in Gaza—the deadliest period for media professionals in the 21st century—and demands international accountability. AJAG accuses Israel of suppressing truth by targeting local reporters and blocking foreign media access. Drawing parallels with Africa’s own history of colonialism and apartheid, the coalition calls for global sanctions and justice, asserting that journalism is not a crime but a lifeline for truth. Their message is clear: silence is complicity, and African voices will not be muted in the face of genocide.
