#Ayisha Siddiqa

[thoughtportal]

Pakistani human rights and land defender Ayisha Siddiqa was set to give a speech on November 17 at COP27 in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. However, when it was her turn to take the mic, she instead said, ‘I was intending to come here and share with you facts and data, and the stories of the women who have had to give birth in flood zones, of the ancestors whose graves have drowned, and I don’t think that’s what people need to hear right now.’ Siddiqa then went on to deliver a powerful poem which read in part, ‘I tell you that even our dead have drowned in their graves, and you ask me to be polite. You ask me not to blame or shame, and remember the color of my skin, the sound of my tongue, and my place in your world.’

Conselheira climática da ONU, Ayisha Siddiqa, 25 anos:

“A crise climática é causada pelo homem branco”.

“É o resultado do colonialismo e da opressão racial”.

Os imb€cis realmente tomaram conta do mundo...

AYISHA SIDDIQA NYU法学研究者 「学生たちは口々に、反アパルトヘイト運動や反ベトナム戦争運動の歌を歌っています。何世代も前の学生たちと同じ場所に立っているのです。そして歴史は、こうした反戦の叫びが聞かれるたびに、学生たちが常に歴史の正しい側にあったことを示しています」 「大学は、学生たちなしには成り立ちません。学生たちがその大学の教育を受け入れる以上、大学は学生たちを保護しなければらならないのです。ですから、大学にとっての一番のステイクホルダーはイスラエル国ではなく、学生たちであるべきなのです」

UN adviser says the ‘white man has brought life as we know it to the verge of extinction’: ‘Racial harmony is fallacy’

A United Nations youth climate adviser has a history of social media posts that call for the destruction of capitalism, claim “terrorism” is used as a Western smear to justify its imperialism and attack White people for purportedly fueling humanity’s extinction vis-à-vis the climate crisis.  

The United Nations’ Secretary-General António Guterres personally selected Pakistani-American Ayisha Siddiqa as one of his advisers to help “accelerat[e] the implementation of his climate action agenda,” a 2023 UN announcement stated. Siddiqa was a Time Woman of the Year in 2023 who has co-founded two youth climate activist organizations.

“The Secretary-General’s Youth Advisory Group on Climate Change provides him with practical and outcome-focused advice… and concrete recommendations, with a clear focus on accelerating the implementation of his climate action agenda. Convened under the auspices of the United Nations [as it]… works to accelerate global climate action,” the announcement said. 

One of the criteria for candidates landing the two-year assignment was a “demonstrated commitment to the UN’s values.” 

According to her social media posts, Siddiqa is more than an environmentalist.

She unabashedly promotes radical leftist beliefs like abolishing the police, espousing socialist ideals, sharing Marxist-themed and anti-capitalist content while repeatedly denigrating White people. 

***GET OUT OF THE UN!!

Un poema de Ayisha Siddiqa

What if the future is soft and revolution is so kind that there is no end to us in sight.

Whole cities breathe and bad luck is bested by a promise to the leaves.

To withstand your own end is difficult.

The future frolics about, promised to no one, as is her right.

Rage against injustice makes the voice grow harsher yet.

If the future leaves without us, the silence that will follow will be an unspeakable nothing.

What if we convince her to stay?

How rare and beautiful it is that we exist.

What if we stun existence one more time?

When I wake up, get out of bed, my seven year old cousin

with her ruptured belly tags along.

Then follows my grandmother, aunts, my other cousins

and the violent shape of their drinking water.

The earth remembers everything,

our bodies are the color of the earth and we

are nobodies.

Been born from so many apocalypses, what’s one more?

Love is still the only revenge. It grows each time the earth is set on fire.

But for what it’s worth, I’d do this again.

Gamble on humanity one hundred times over

Commit to life unto life, as the trees fall and take us with them.

I’d follow love into extinction.
