Events

On this page, you can find all upcoming events. We usually plan 1 month ahead, so do not worry if you do not see any events down the line! Most events are only accessible to members or Rafikis. If an event is open to the general public, like the movie nights, this is stated clearly in the description of the event.

We hope to see you soon!

Africa Movie Night

This month, the African Studies Center has organized the viewing of "Le spectre de Boko Haram", directed by Cyrielle Raingou (2023). The documentary will be in French and Hausa, with English subtitles. It unfolds in Kolofata, a village in the far north of Cameroon. The village is under permanent military protection that is intended to prevent the murderous incursions of Boko Haram from neighbouring Nigeria. Behind the peaceful pastoral appearance, the "spectre" of terrorism is always present. The filmmaker follows a group of children between 8 and 11 years old who have experienced terrible things but try to create a future for themselves.

Discussion on Russia’s influence in Africa

Join study associations MOST and Mugusa in a discussion about Russian influence in Africa, where we will try to offer a platform where all these considerations and issues can be taken into account. As the topic is very broad and the number of countries involved is large, a discussion format can offer space for considerations and opinions that people from various (academic) backgrounds bring with them and might give us a better understanding at the end of the event about the complexities of the topic!
