THE GIANT IS STIRRING: A Hausa Manifesto for Justice on World Hausa Day By Khaleed Yazeed Founder, Wakilin Yamma Youth Development Network Katsina State, Nigeria Today is World Hausa Day. A day we set aside to celebrate our language, our culture, and our identity. But celebration without reflection is empty.

We must remember that we were conquered, not because we were weak, but because we were divided. And we must rise, not because we hate others, but because we love ourselves enough to demand justice. The Hausa people have been subjugated for over two centuries. The Fulani jihad of 1804 was not a reformation, it was a co...
