Mnyaka Sururu Mboro: teacher & board member of Berlin Postkolonial

Mnyaka Sururu Mboro, born 1951 near the Kilimandjaro in today’s Tanzania, is based in Berlin. Retired as a teacher he is still an activist, co-founder and board member of the non-government organisation Berlin Postkolonial. Mboro is actively committed to commemorate German colonial crimes in Africa since the centenary of the Berlin Africa Conference in 1984. In 2013, when the foundation stone of the Humboldt Forum was laid, he was amongst the initiators of the campaign No Humboldt 21! demanding a moratory and a broad critical discussion on Germany’s postcolonial grand projet.
