There is still no response from the nominator, who filed last week as an instructor for a fall WikiEd course despite failing to follow up on this course where they were a student. Closing now as abandoned and not having met DYK requirements.

  • ... that Sarah Sayifwanda, the first Zambian Minister of Gender and Development, was once arrested for allegedly inciting a tribal fight? Source: "Last year, Zambia Police arrested Ms Sayifwanda in connection with the tribal fight that occurred in Zambezi district between the Lunda’s and Luvales during an ECZ delimitation.

It was alleged that Ms Sayifwanda was the one who forcefully grabbed the microphone from the ECZ official and strongly opposed the creation of a central constituency which the majority voted in favor of. Ms Sayifwanda’s behaviour was said to be what triggered the throwing of chairs at each other by the lundas and luvales as she accused the electoral commission of Zambia officials of siding with the luvales."

For what it's worth, the nom appears to be a student editor and hasn't responded to a talk page message. Perhaps someone more familiar with African topics can help out here? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 23:33, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Without additional context that hook doesn't really say much. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:31, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Agree that new hook isn't particularly interesting: if the defection had caused a change in the balance of power and government, that's one thing, but the source gives no inkling of such a thing—party changes don't seem that noteworthy absent context (which is not given in the article). Also, the two remaining naked URLs must be dealt with: per WP:DYKSG#D3, References in the article must not be bare URLs. Jon698, I see that you did considerable work on the article (including deleting a section on the Pan-African Parliament; if it's not relevant, shouldn't it also be removed from the lede and the infobox?).

That hook isn't really unique for her. It's not unusual for a national day of mourning to not happen immediately after their death. In some cases, the day of mourning coincides with the date of the deceased's burial, which is often days or even a week of more after their death. If the national morning's circumstances were unusual, that could potentially work as a hook, but merely having a day of national mourning days after their death isn't uncommon.
