Motorcycles are demanded as ransom, smuggled through deserts, used to transport gold and weapons along ancient routes, and ridden in raids and battles. The state has banned, burned, and seized thousands of them, and still cannot take the advantage back. humanglemedia.com/the-war-ma…

With support from @CanHCNigeria through the Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI), HumAngle recently hosted a stakeholder meeting with peace actors in Benue, North Central Nigeria. The roundtable was part of our efforts to tackle misinformation in conflict areas, under our Countering Misinformation and Promoting Peace Project in Nigeria’s Middle Belt. Participants included representatives from government institutions, community-based organisations, and faith-based groups. Discussions focused on what has worked, what has failed, and what could be done differently to improve conflict prevention and the flow of reliable information within communities. #CMPP humanglemedia.com/humangle-b…

In Murbai, a rural community in Taraba State, northeastern Nigeria, more than 100 people, many of whom are children, are blind. Despite the growing number, no one knows why so many residents are losing their sight. HumAngle visited the community and spoke with residents.

Like Mba, the youth leader suspects that the shallow ponds, now the community’s main water source, could be the leading cause of blindness in Murbai. “Cattle, sheep, and goats drink from there, and sometimes the cattle urinate in it, but people still fetch it no matter what and sometimes, when drinking the water, you can perceive the smell of the urine,” he said.

HumAngle congratulates and commends Fisayo Soyombo for this daring investigation. Spending 47 days alongside African migrants crossing the Sahara and the Mediterranean demanded extraordinary courage, endurance and personal sacrifice. This is immersive journalism at its most demanding, pursued in the public interest and grounded in lived reality. Well done, Fisayo. We look forward to reading the investigation.
Investigative journalist @fisayosoyombo spent 47 days as one of several thousand African migrants seeking to enter Europe through the Sahara Desert and the Mediterranean Sea. Story on @fijnigeria tomorrow, Thursday and on Friday.
