Dozens of elderly women gathered have gathered at a graveyard in Berlin, were they celebrated an historic event: the opening of the world’s first lesbian-only cemetery.

A 4,300-square-foot area was made available in one of the German capital’s oldest burial grounds, the Lutheran Georgen Parochial cemetery, and will serve as the final resting place for up to 80 gay women.


The women cheering and applauding among the tombstones that day were members of SAFIA, a German association of older lesbians who came up with the initiative as a way for their community to stay together in the afterlife.

“We are the first real generation of emancipated, feminist, open lesbians, and we need somewhere to be buried,” explains Astrid Osterland, a 69-year-old SAFIA member. “Lots of us don’t have families to be buried with. Instead, we want to lie with those we’ve fought alongside, loved and lived with”, she said.

For Berlin’s lesbians, the cemetery is more than just a final resting place. It holds political significance for them as the generation of women who fought for the right to love openly and who now want their cause to be visible for posterity.

 “Families want to be together after death, and we want it too”, Osterland concluded.

KANO— Hope of early reconciliation between the new Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II and siblings of his predecessor, Alhaji Ado Bayero has been dashed following the alleged refusal of the patriarch of Bayero family, Sanusi Ado Bayero, to pay a solidarity visit to the emir.

Sanusi Ado Bayero, who is the Chiroman Kano, reportedly left the country as soon as it became obvious that he had lost the succession war to the former Central bank of Nigeria, CBN, Governor.
Sanusi Ado Bayero, by virtue of his title, was supposed to pay a solidarity to the Emir to douse tension raised by succession struggle.
A source disclosed that “we have history repeating itself as it may interest you to know that the same scenario played itself up when late Bayero emerged emir of Kano 51 years ago.

“In 1963, Aminu Sanusi, father of the new emir was Chiroman Kano when Ado Bayero was appointed by kingmakers and he never paid solidarity visit to Ado Bayero, but remained indifferent to emirate activities until he joined his ancestors.

“This development constitutes a headache to the new emir, who appeared in a hurry to open a new page and the situation became more worrisome considering its negative signal to the outside world.”

The source maintained that “the emir’s visit to the Queen Mother at Yakasai was part of strategies to test his popularity and acceptance. The mammoth crowd that escorted him on the visit was a clear attestation that he is gaining control.”

However, Alhaji Sanusi II has commenced consolidating his grip on the throne as he had ventured out of the palace on what palace source described as “Confidence building”
