Brilliant moment - my copy of the new year 2 textbook in global development has arrived. 18 months+ hard work with a really passionate and brilliant teaching team at the OU. 124 students start their study of it in October!

[Liza Rose Cirolia @LizaCirolia]

The response to the floods was dehumanizing and destructive; the response to social demands has been murderous. People want to be able to live in cities without fighting for their lives every day.

This is a really powerful @Wanavijiji_sdi video documenting the evictions in Mathare, Nairobi after the recent floods.

It's shocking to see people's shacks being crushed by diggers - especially as they haven't been given alternative options.

@JohnhoganMorris Very sorry to read this John. My condolences, and I hope the institution can address its utter failure to respond appropriately!

[KDI Kenya @KDI_Kenya]

The 30-meter rule blanketly condemns critical community infrastructure that controls flooding (which the government is responding to), let alone addressing the need for sanitation, water, and support for income-generating activities. #SpareCommunityAssets
