Shama, a Blin word for ‘communal assembly’, is a space where ideas matter, and we are encouraged to challenge our sociopolitical understanding of the domestic and diasporic Eritrean context. It aims to contribute towards bringing various voices and perspectives by shedding light on everything from forced migration and transnationalism, peace, security and development to organized crimes and state violence. In doing so, Shama will host expert interviews, panel discussions with Eritrean academics and professionals as well as ‘experts by experience’.
No hate speech or bullying : Make sure that everyone feels safe. Bullying of any kind isn’t allowed and degrading comments on race/ethnicity, religion, culture, sexual orientation, gender, national identity will not be tolerated
Be kind and courteous: Let’s treat each other with respect. Disagreements are natural, but kindness is required.
Stage presence is open to all but anonymous accounts : Anonymity enables users to abandon social norms & accountability, inducing both a lack of empathy & intellectual thinking. Shama limits engagement with unknown accounts to keep behaviors in check
