‘Degrading to Africans’: why I think we should boycott this Christmas song


In 1984, charity supergroup called Band Aid made Do They Know It's Christmas? to raise money for people in Ethiopia during a national crisis. Two more versions were released – including one in 2014 aiming to help victims of the Ebola outbreak. Subscribe to The Guardian on YouTube ► http://bit.ly/subscribegdn Afrobeats artist Fuse ODG was invited to take part in that edition, but refused, saying the single did ‘more harm than good’. He added that the organisers did not agree with his request to change some of the lyrics and imagery used in the campaign that are ‘degrading’ to Africans. Now, with a new 40-year anniversary recording to be released in a few days, the MOBO award-winning artist is continuing to call out the issue – and has had other artists back him. “I understand that there might be good intentions … but there’s a way to do that without also kicking them while they’re down,” says the British-Ghanaian artist. Fuse ODG, who has recently launched an app about African history and languages, says the important thing is to lift up voices and tell stories that are often overlooked on the global stage – such as the fact that a cure for Ebola was discovered by a doctor from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Dr Jean-Jacques Muyembe. In response to the growing backlash, Bob Geldof, one of the founders of Band Aid, told the Conversation: “This little pop song has kept hundreds of thousands if not millions of people alive. In fact, just today [it] has given hundreds of thousands of pounds to help those running from the mass slaughter in Sudan, and enough cash to feed a further 8,000 children in the same affected areas of Ethiopia as 1984.” Watch this video to learn more about why Fuse ODG thinks this – and other similar campaigns – is so damaging to Africa in the long term, and what he believes can help tackle negative stereotypes.

How Azerbaijan's 'eternal flame' is fed by oil and gas #cop29 #yanardag


How did Azerbaijan become known as ‘the land of fire’? Subscribe to The Guardian on YouTube ► http://bit.ly/subscribegdn If you drive up the road from the world’s biggest climate summit taking place in Baku this week, you will reach a fire that has been burning for centuries. Welcome to Azerbaijan, the ‘world’s first petrostate’. It gets more than half of its income from oil and gas, and plans to keep on drilling for more. This made the country a very controversial choice for this year’s annual United Nations climate conference, known as Cop29. Especially since, last year’s summit was also held in a petrostate, the United Arab Emirates. Last week, a group of influential climate policy experts criticised this and in a letter to the UN they wrote “It is now clear that the Cop is no longer fit for purpose. We need a shift from negotiation to implementation.” Watch the video to hear from our environment reporter Ajit Niranjan into whether a petrostate be allowed to host a climate summit. And as Cop29 enters its final hours today, if you want to learn more about how Azerbaijan has rolled out ‘red carpet’ treatment to fossil fuel bosses and lobbyists at the summit this year, click here ► https://ift.tt/lFDGR43 The Guardian publishes independent journalism, made possible by supporters.
