Kenyans dominate! 👏
In 2019, 200 informal settlements occupied 6% cent of Nairobi's land, but held some 60% of the city's population.
I had no idea that was a thing! Good to know.
The country’s young people are no longer willing to accept politics without accountability, and the government’s repressive crackdown is only fueling their movement. Gen Z is reshaping the future of Kenyan democracy.
The criminal leadership in Africa that has existed during and since colonisation cannot continue without us demanding for more.
Revolution is brewing in East Africa because politicians weaponize poverty for power and profit.

🩸 Every year, 400,000 children are born with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) — most in Africa.

Kenya is using anti-terrorism courts designed for al-Qaeda to prosecute people who protested government policies. Officials from the US, which funded the courts, are quietly working to persuade the government to change course. #HumanRights #TerrorismLaw www.wsj.com/world/africa...

Of course this is unpopular in Shereheland but I personally think it's potentially a good thing. My theory is that Kenyans mostly use alcohol for escapism - from poverty-induced stresses.
Kenya catching strays but not one Kenyan would be surprised we find ourselves in this list.
William Ruto, the West's favourite puppet, has been flexing his dictator muscles a lot lately.

Opinion: Recognition of a Palestinian state should not be a pawn in a diplomatic game - www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-upda...
So the colonizers want to finally recognise Palestine?
As if we all don't see that this action as symbolic, and will have no actual consequence to the US/UK/EU-backed Israeli genocide.
One day this will be behind us but we must make sure those who are responsible and complicit will rot in prison.
Ugandan health authorities have closed all the clinics that focused on patients with HIV and TB. Staffed by health workers who over time developed deep expertise in sensitively managing infectious yet stigmatised diseases, the clinics were key to cutting HIV infection rates.
He asked for it. Why does he have a suspicious history of interactions and communications with teens? Having such a reputation as you enter a rap beef was silly. Kendrick warned him to not go personal and he did. He got what he deserved.
2Pac went after Prodigy for having sickle cell disease. Battlers always go after dead family members. This is hiphop and you guests cannot dictate the moral code of it. Just listen and enjoy.
This is not acceptable in a creative expression such as hiphop. Imagine taking Picasso to court because his Guernica piece was offensive to some audiences. Especially when Drake said things about his wife and asked Kendrick to "talk about him liking young girls". Drake needs cultural awareness.
The Kenyan president is extremely supportive of Western values compared to some of his continental fellows.
But if you go by the remarks of our leaders you would think we are all wealthy.
Meanwhile Ruto wears one to sleep.
Rapper huh.
“African nationals spend €56.3 million in visa application fees. The EU generated €130 million from Schengen visa rejections in 2023, an increase from the €105 million generated in 2022. Africans and Asians represent 90% of the total revenue generated from rejected visas”
😂😂 That's actually funny but the joke is mostly on y'all who don't understand crypto.
“Jimmy Carter’s bluntness will, truly, be missed.”
Mehdi Hasan lists 8 quotes you may not have heard from the late ex-president — from using the A-word to slamming US foreign policy.

This will play nicely in the legal action.
A section of lyrics from Kendrick Lamar's song 'tv off' (feat lefty gunplay).
Love this rhyme scheme from Kendrick Lamar. It must have been fun to write as it is to rap!

I'm not ready for the rewriting of history by this conspiracy theorist.
Thank you Wayne, for coming to your senses!
