@Koavf, can you please add the citations to the English entry? A quick search does not turn up much CFI-compliant use, but I'd rather not have to send it to RFV. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 02:35, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Metaknowledge: Many are related to the upcoming book: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-54323473. The instances I see use it in running English text unadorned as a loanword (e.g. the citation that I added). —Justin (koavf)TCM 02:51, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Koavf, if they're related to the upcoming book, then they'd all be from this year. Do you have enough to pass CFI? —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 03:35, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It is attestable in online newspapers. I don't know if they are "durably archived". One of them presents a different etymology. DTLHS (talk) 03:46, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe not. It could be a hot word. —Justin (koavf)TCM 03:48, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
