Today, we hosted our traditional annual Checkup for African Human Rights Defenders. As we look ahead to 2025, we are again faced with challenges that test our resilience in the context of shifting geopolitics, ongoing conflicts, and controversial electoral processes across the continent. We needed to examine how these trends impact activism in Africa. Throughout our discussions, we reflected on critical lessons learned from the past year, particularly concerning worrying developments such as the rise in abductions, transnational repression, and the trial of civilians in military courts. We also addressed the use of technology for repression, the growing dangers faced by pro-democracy activists, lawyers and human rights defenders, and other cross-cutting issues affecting our work. We identified best practices to navigate these complex issues in response to these challenges. Wishing Africa a Happy New Year as we continue this noble work!
