The new opportunity to have activism through mobile phones is fascinating. A while ago Sokari Enkine asked me to write a chapter for a recent published book funded by Hivos.

I spent some time this afternoon googling 'kabissa' (try this sometime - you'll be surprised what you find!) and was pleased to run into an article by Firoze Manji titled The internet and human rights advocacy in Africa from back in 2002. I had never seen the article before but was glad to be reminded of the early history and the excitement we felt at what we were starting back then.
