"To leave your home is a big decision but when you’re forced you don’t have options. You have to make that decision and I did that. It’s obvious you have to find another way to feel safe, and that became another country. Again a last resort. OK what can I do? Let me risk my life”

We're incredibly proud of our collaboration with the National Archives The National Archives, from our 2022 panel debate, the showcasing documents from 1972, and a Time Travel Club video for families called ‘The Yellow Bicycle’ about the expulsion experience. nationalarchives.gov.uk/education/outr…

The biggest and warmest congratulations to everyone at 50 Years of Ugandan Asians #RebuildingLives - the #RebuildingLives exhibition Leicester Museums & Galleries charting the story of the 1972 expulsion was just fantastic. A very well-deserved accolade!

A great session: Double Diaspora, British Ugandans at 50. Chaired by ⁦Meera Dattani⁩ with ⁦@Gidoomal⁩, ⁦Neema Shah - no longer active on X⁩ and Hafsa Zayyan. Thank you to ⁦jaipurlitfest⁩ for organising! Especially good to see young authors promoting the story of the exodus.

Growing up, when the BBC’s George Alagiah was on TV my dad would shout “George is on!”. We’d run to watch the man who inspired a generation of British Asian journalists. That scene was replicated across the U.K. We thank you, George. RIP xx 💔 bbc.co.uk/news/entertain…

George was a trailblazer as well as outstanding journalist and human being. I remember seeing him on screen as Africa Correspondent in the 90s, the first Asian foreign correspondent I had seen on British television. He inspired so many of us bbc.co.uk/news/entertain…

Thank you ⁦Lucy Fulford⁩ for writing the book that was missing! At the beginning of the 50th anniversary year of the #Ugandan expulsion I looked for a book covering 1972/3. Every other event in the 20c was covered but not this seismic time in our history. 1

Belated congratulations to Lucy Fulford on this incredible achievement. We wish you all the best with your new book 👏🏽

Thrilled to be nominated for journalist of the year AND best programme/show of the year for my doc ‘Expelled from Uganda’ with Alvaro Alvarez Ricciardelli. The last year has been insane time for stories, investigations and long-form.
