In memoriam: The prominent Roma intellectual Ibrahim Osmani has passed away

After a short term sickness at the age 77. Suddenly and after a short illness at the age of 77 in Vranje, the Republic of Serbia, on February 13 this year, the prominent Roma intellectual and professor Ibrahim Osmani has passed away.

He is distinguished for his commitment to the preservation of Roma culture, tradition, history and contribution to the preservation of the Roma language and its standardization. He spent his whole life and work on those spears. He was born on December 30, 1944. He graduated from the Faculty of Philology "Blaze Koneski" in Skopje, Department of Serbo-Croatian Language and Yugoslav Literature. He was a teacher of Serbo-Croatian language in several schools in Vranje, Serbia, where he retired and lived. With his death, the Roma people lost a well-known and a prominent member of the community, but his works will remain as a document and a direction of action for future generations of young and progressive Roma.

Following is one of his last speeches, as a motivational message for future generations

Latvians most prejudiced against Roma and Muslims, study shows

The study, titled “Intercultural stereotypes and prejudices in Latvian society” asked 1,009 people to evaluate thirteen groups within society, defined by ethnic, geographic, racial or religious characteristics. The groups were Latvians, Russians, Ukrainians, the Swedish, Americans, Jewish people, Uzbeks, Chinese, Indians, Roma, Africans, and Muslims.

The survey shows that the Roma and Muslims are held in the most suspicion in all criteria. Many respondents (nearly 40-50%) would not accept Indians, Chinese people or Africans as potential family members. 

He pointed out that the prejudice against Roma people is inherited from history. While Muslims of different nationalities and Uzbeks mostly represent one religion, the results of the study show that attitudes toward them are different. This is probably due to the fact that Uzbekistan was part of the Soviet Union and one of the so-called “fraternal republics”, which makes it easier for Latvians to understand them.

However, as opinion groups, Latvians and Russians are very different, because there are differences in political and geopolitical thinking, while the emotional and interpersonal distance is very small or non-existent.
