Top 25 Most Popular Articles on DuniaMagazine.com in 2011

You are probably aware that I am a contributor for Dunia Magazine. Last year (2011) was a great for me partly because I was blessed with the opportunity and inspiration to write many articles. The archive of this blog alone registered 119 posts (down from 151 in 2010). I also made a good number of contributions for Dunia Magazine. Today, Dunia published the Top 25 Most Popular Articles on DuniaMagazine.com in 2011. I was humbled and encouraged to learn that two of my articles made it to the list.

It is interesting to mention that it is a countdown list - from the 25th to the 1st most popular article.

When I started looking at the list, I was confident that at least one of my articles would make it. But when I reached the 10th place, my confidence began to wane. I continued the countdown and behold - the 8th most read article was mine. It is titled, My Journey to Lund, Sweden - A Life-changing Experience.

At this point, I became even more confident that perhaps, with seven more articles to go, another article of mine would make it. Hence I continued the countdown.

I was pleasantly surprised when I got to 2nd place and realized that Dunia's 2nd most read article, titled Young Girls Face Breast Ironing in Cameroon, was written by me.

I would like to seize this opportunity to thank Dunia's Publisher and Editorial Director for approving my articles and for giving me the opportunity to reach a wider audience through writing. I look forward to greater cooperation in 2012.

I would also like to acknowledge all the other contributors whose articles made to Dunia's top 25 in 2011. In this age of information technology, with a lot of material out there on the internet, it is not easy to get internet users to actually read what ordinary writers have to offer.

Turning Point: Face to face with boots, water canons, batons, riot police and impunity

Over the past few years, many people have asked me why I decided to study International Human Rights Law instead of the more appealing, and perhaps more lucrative, corporate or criminal law. I've always been reluctant to explain what inspired me to do what I do, but I recently decided to let the cat out of the bag in an article published on the 4th Issue of DUNIA Magazine.

The article is titled, Turning Point: Face to Face with Boots, Water Canons, Batons, Riot Police and Impunity. Incidentally, it comes at a time when many innocent civilians and pro-democracy protesters in the Middle East and North Africa are facing a similar situation in what has been termed the "Arab Spring."

It's my wish that this piece inspires oppressed persons around the world to rise above oppression and become advocates for nonviolence, human rights and fundamental freedoms. Now more than ever, the world is in dire need of fierce nonviolent advocates to promote and protect respect for human dignity.
