APNS /North America [07.09.2014] -- The Aboriginal News Group with deep regret wishes to announce that our dear Brother and ANG co-founder and African Bureau-chief, Dr. Ridwan Laher Nytagodien Ph.D. has transitioned and joined with his ancestors on Wednesday, the 2nd of July, 2014.
The late Dr. Laher – a citizen of the Republic of South Africa and the World – was a vigorous and progressive pan-African anti-colonialist activist; educator; historian and political consultant who represented the interests of grassroots People's Movement's in Africa and the international human rights of Autochthonous Peoples and others across the whole of the Fourth World.
He has held Political Science/International Studies/Black Studies teaching positions at institutions as varied as Howard University, Boston University and Portland State University in the United States as well as being the (2006-07) Nelson Mandela Chair for African Studies at Jawaharlal Nehru University (India). He was also a valued research associate to the McGregor Museum in Kimberley, SA and he served as a chief researcher for The Africa Institute of South Africa (AISA).
In addition to his immeasurable contributions to the ANG and his unyielding support for Indigenous and African blog-journalists, he was editor of the African-focused, Indigenist newsblog 'Fatima and Ahmed's Son' as well as the author and co-author of some 20 books, numerous articles and several published academic papers including:
The ANG wishes to extend its condolences to our Brother's family, friends and associates in SA and around the world.
He will be missed.
Onward!
