Across our continent, peacebuilding and transitional justice processes continue to be measured against a liberal yardstick that was never designed with Africa in mind. In our pursuit of international legitimacy of being seen as modern, civilised, compliant we have too often traded away the very cultural foundations that make reconciliation meaningful to the communities we serve. This is what I call the price of inclusion: the quiet erosion of indigenous knowledge, local ritual, and community-owned healing in exchange for frameworks that look good in donor reports but land poorly on the ground. The gap between international norms and local realities is not a technical problem. It is a political one. And it will not be closed by adding an "African perspective" paragraph to an otherwise Western framework. What it demands is co-created, culturally resonant, and locally owned peacebuilding built with communities, not for them. So, at what point does alignment with international standards become a barrier to genuine African-led transitional justice? https://www.africantjnetwork.org.za/activity/p/653/ Tue, 19 May 2026 12:21:03 +0200

]]> 0 a2347af9137440227a9338acdd5d712b Having witnessed a community-designed transitional justice process for climate harms in South Africa, I started thinking: Are other communities affected by climate change developing their own backward- and forward-looking measures for climate harms, which could be seen as transitional justice? Working with the Civil Society Network on Climate Change (CISONECC), I conducted research with residents of Nkhulambe, an area of Malawi badly affected by climate disasters and creeping climate change. Several findings emerged: ➡️ Climate harms: While climate change is long term and climate impacts are likely to continue, residents experience a broad range of unacknowledged climate harms that could be prevented and reduced. These relate to loss of life, physical health, homes, infrastructure, education, livelihoods, food security, cultural practices, social order, and mental health. ➡️ Truth telling: Residents engage in truth telling on the causes and consequences of climate harms in community governance structures, cultural and religious ceremonies, and other events, seeking to share experiences, raise awareness, enable community and external learning, and build solidarity for action. ➡️ Memorialisation: Residents gather in the community and use traditional and religious practices to remember and honour those lost, help each other heal, enable community and external learning, and shape the way climate harms are talked about. ➡️ Participatory reform: Arguing that affected communities have knowledge and solutions that better respond to climate harms, residents advocate for participatory institutional and procedural reforms to facilitate more holistic climate action and contribute to non-recurrence at the national and international levels. These efforts, combined with climate readiness initiatives, suggest that (1) acknowledging the backward-looking measures developed by affected communities enriches climate responses, and (2) applying a transformative transitional justice lens to existing community practices may open new avenues towards climate justice.

Welcome to my channel! My name is Isatou Jammeh but I go by Ayesha Harun Jammeh, a social worker, human rights advocate, and entrepreneur from The Gambia – the Smiling Coast of Africa. My work focuses on transitional justice, human rights, and community empowerment, both nationally and internationally. Over the years, I have been actively involved in initiatives supporting victims of human rights violations, contributing to conversations and programs that promote truth, accountability, healing, and justice in post-conflict societies. My experience spans working with civil society organizations, engaging with victims’ communities, and participating in regional and international dialogues on transitional justice and accountability for international crimes. I believe that justice, dialogue, and empowered communities are key to building stronger democracies and peaceful societies.

]]> 0 be0c7cc22e1c8ea95cd01c647ebe09db I am writing a paper on mass movements and TJ, focusing on how mass movements can catalyse transitional justice processes (or discussions that call for some of the TJ recommendations) and positive transitions that contribute to more peaceful, violence-free societies. I am interested in how TJ can leverage some of these organic, informal structures and the often issue-induced mass movements for peace. CSVR recently hosted a webinar on this topic, and the Global Learning Hub hosted a panel on this during the October 2025 GLH Conference. I will consolidate and draw inspiration from some of the reflections and discussion points on my paper expanding them with case studies - particularly Sudan mass protests (2019), Gen Z protests in Kenya (2024), Burkina Faso (2014), Gen-Z mass protests in Nepal (2025), Tunisia (Arab Spring, 2011), student-led mass protests in Bangladesh (2024-2025) and Gabon (2023). https://www.africantjnetwork.org.za/activity/p/156/ Tue, 17 Mar 2026 15:32:00 +0200

]]> 0 d637e3f3eac469f20766270b68abb108 With this initiative, I had the wonderful (and somewhat terrifying) opportunity to see a long-contemplated idea become a reality – collaborating with communities gravely affected by climate change to carry out a transformative transitional justice process for climate harms. Presenting the entire initiative, this publication examines ways a transformative approach to transitional justice can create new avenues towards climate justice. And it documents the process of working closely with the communities to implement truth telling and memorialisation for climate harms, along with advocacy for participatory climate responses, sharing lessons learnt that might be useful to other practitioners. Some key points: - Climate impacts lead to a wide range of profound and lasting climate harms, which are often rendered invisible. - Transitional justice combines backward-looking and forward-looking measures that, by design, help address these manifold climate harms. - Because they navigate climate challenges on a daily basis, affected communities have the contextualised knowledge, resources and networks to come up with novel solutions. These address past climate harms and seek to curb future harms. - Mental health and psychosocial support are crucial to dealing with climate harms. - Community-led, ‘bottom-up’ measures can be seen as forms of transformative transitional justice in themselves. They can also complement and strengthen national and international, ‘top-down’ efforts. - By enabling cross-pollination of ideas and practices among diverse stakeholders from the local to the international level, we can build solidarity to work towards climate responses that transform obstructive power structures and tackle the intersectional, intergenerational harms that come with climate change. With these lessons learnt from practice, the door is open to further transformative transitional justice processes for climate harms. I am looking forward to seeing what comes next.
