AFRICAN STORIES WITHOUT BORDERS! BUILD-UP TO THE 2026 ABIBITUMI ABIBIFAHODIE FILM FESTIVAL

AFRICAN STORIES WITHOUT BORDERS! BUILD-UP TO THE 2026 ABIBITUMI ABIBIFAHODIE FILM FESTIVAL Ọnuọra Abụah 53 Views • 4 months ago

African storytelling is taking center stage once again — not just as entertainment, but as a powerful tool for identity, history, liberation, and global cultural connection.

On this edition of the Morning Show Conversation Segment, Afia TV spotlights the build-up to the 2026 Abibitumi Abibifahodie Film Festival, an international platform dedicated to celebrating authentic African stories, Black identity, cultural memory, and diaspora connection through film and creative expression.

Joining the conversation is Ọnụọra Abuah, Director of the Abibitumi Film Festival & Conference, as we explore the vision behind one of the most culturally significant African-centered film gatherings bringing together filmmakers, storytellers, scholars, creatives, and audiences from across the continent and the global African diaspora.

Organized by Abibitumi and the Decade of Our Repatriation (DOOR) initiative, the festival is more than a showcase of films — it is a movement rooted in reclaiming African narratives and strengthening connections between Africans on the continent and descendants of Africa across the world.

At a time when global media spaces are increasingly questioning representation, ownership of narratives, and cultural authenticity, the Abibitumi Abibifahodie Film Festival seeks to create a platform where African stories are told by Africans, for Africans, and with the fullness of African identity intact.This conversation examines the growing influence of African cinema, the importance of preserving indigenous stories, and the role film can play in reconnecting communities separated by history, migration, and the transatlantic slave trade.
What kinds of stories are shaping the 2026 edition?How is African cinema evolving beyond stereotypes and survival narratives?And why are festivals like this becoming increasingly important in the global cultural conversation?From heritage and spirituality to resistance, identity, language, migration, and liberation, the festival promises to spotlight films that challenge dominant narratives while celebrating the richness and complexity of African experiences.

As Nollywood, independent African cinema, and diaspora storytelling continue gaining international recognition, platforms like Abibitumi are helping redefine what global African storytelling can look like — bold, rooted, unapologetic, and deeply connected to history.This is more than film.It is memory, identity, culture, and connection projected onto the screen.#abibitumifilmfestival

Mayotte - Island of Death | Al Jazeera World

Mayotte - Island of Death | Al Jazeera World Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 110 Views • 5 years ago

Against the backdrop of today's refugee crisis in the Mediterranean, another tragedy has gone almost unreported on the east coast of Africa between Mozambique and Madagascar.

Mayotte, one of the four islands in the Comoros archipelago, used to be a French Overseas Territory but now is part of France, the 101st departement of the Republic. But it is also at the centre of a crisis unfolding in the Indian Ocean. Mayotte covers almost 400 square kilometres and has a population of about 214,000, the majority of whom are Muslim. It is surrounded by coral reefs and the ancient Arab sailors whose ships often came to grief on its shores named it the "Island of Death".

Most recently, the racial tension on Mayotte boiled over resulting in anti-immigration groups deporting hundreds of Comorans from their village homes as they protested what they called "clandestine immigration".

Since visas to enter Mayotte were introduced in 1995, thousands of islanders from Grande Comore, Anjouan and Moheli have drowned trying to get there.

They largely travel in small boats known as kwasa-kwasa, which are prone to capsizing on the 70-kilometre journey from Anjouan to Mayotte. Reliable casualty figures are hard to come by. They are also disputed, with the governor of Anjouan once claiming that more than 50,000 had drowned since 1995. French estimates are much lower, between 7,000 and 10,000.

The Mayotte immigration problem and the discrepancy between the different death toll estimates are partly rooted in the colonial history of the archipelago. To understand why so many people see Mayotte as offering a better life and risk their lives trying to get there, we follow the stories of four men, Taher, Mohammed, Matar Yacoub and Ahmad Ibrahim, each of whom is at a different stage of that journey.

Taher heard that life was good on the island, but discovered that the reality was quite different. He arrived in Mayotte illegally and he and his family live as inconspicuously as possible to avoid deportation.

Mohammed arrived legally 20 years ago but is still waiting for his asylum application to be processed.

Matar Yacoub was detained in a holding centre in conditions that a 2008 Council of Europe human rights report described as "unacceptable". The body appealed to the French authorities to ensure that "human rights and dignity" were respected in such centres. Matar talks about overcrowded boats, rough seas and alleges that French ships deliberately flood the small kwasa-kwasa so that they sink.

Finally, Ahmad Ibrahim is planning his journey to Mayotte, desperate to provide his family with more than is on offer on Anjouan.

The French government estimates that as many as 40 percent of Mayotte's population is made up of what it calls illegal residents, referring to them as being in "une situation irreguliere". Ibrahim Aboubacar, the French MP for Mayotte, says that "foreigners" on the island are a burden on both healthcare and education facilities.

The immigrants' living conditions are undoubtedly poor. They live in fear of the French authorities and deportation and can suffer different forms of discrimination.

Taher laments that "even though we [Comorans] are one people", the people of Mayotte "don't consider us as their brothers". He says: "When some of them hear a kwasa-kwasa boat has sunk, they celebrate rather than feeling sad."

Island of Death looks at the Comoros' colonial past and why Mayotte split from the other three islands.The French presence in the archipelago goes back to 1841. The four islands became a French colony in 1912 but were granted a limited form of independence in 1961. In 1974, a referendum was held in which a majority of islanders voted for complete independence. France refused to ratify the result - so the Comoros announced unilateral independence in July 1975.

France ignored the proclamation, although five months later it did recognise the independence of Grande Comore, Anjouan and Moheli - but not Mayotte.

In February 1976, France held a second referendum on Mayotte, which voted heavily in favour of retaining its French connection. Ahmad Thabit, a diplomat and researcher, argues that the referendums were "organised, controlled and supervised" by France.

There was a coup in the independent Comoros later in 1976, followed by a counter-coup two years later carried out by French mercenaries led by the soldier of fortune, Bob Denard.

This triggered an almost 20-year period of coups and political instability on the three independent islands.
