The Kenyan political scientist Firoze Manji about Africa created dependencies
Firoze Manji is founder and executive director of Fahamu as well as founder and editor-inchief of Pambazuka News, an open-access, pan-African email and online newsletter for social justice. The award winning Pambazuka provides a vital forum for vast communities in Africa generally marginalized by the corporate media. Manji, a Kenyan, has held leadership positions with International Development Research Centre, Aga Khan Foundation and Amnesty International. He is a visiting fellow in international human rights at Kellogg College, Oxford University and is a founding member of the steering group for Solidarity for African Women’s Rights. He was editor for Fahamu training courses on human rights, conflict prevention, prevention of torture, access to information, gender and violence, media and genocide and others. He has edited numerous books and anthologies and published dozens of articles in the academic press. Manji started his professional life as a dentist. For those who wonder how he got from dentistry to where he is now—in his words, “Well, I guess I know everything there is to know about torture.”
