@BorisEmanuel @AlinurMohamed_ Correct. The "track" road was built by Catholic missionaries in the 80's to enable them reach their Mbaara Parish in Seker in West Pokot. Successful governments have done nothing even to improve it.

Sustainable livelihoods help communities grow resilient, less prone to conflict & more open to peace.

President William Ruto, who is also the chair of the East African Community, has requested former Prime Minister Raila Odinga to be his special envoy to South Sudan. The Special Envoy is presently engaged with the escalating situation in our sisterly country including traveling to Juba to convey the President’s message to President Kiir and Vice President Machar as well as to critical stakeholders in Juba. @ForeignOfficeKE @StateHouseKenya

[William Samoei Ruto, PhD @WilliamsRuto]

Had a phone call with Pres. Salva kiir on the situation leading to the arrest and detention of 1st vice Pres. Riak Machar in South Sudan. After consultations with Pres. Museveni and PM Abiy, I'm sending a special envoy to South sudan to engage, try deescalate, and brief us back.

[NCTC Kenya @NCTC_Kenya]

Media is a powerful tool—it can inform and educate or fuel fear and division. Its role in shaping narratives cannot be overstated.

Recognizing this reality that violent extremism is not just a military or law enforcement problem, but also a battle of narratives, NCTC, @MediaCouncilK , and COP-K trained journalists in Nairobi on ethical, accurate, and responsible VE reporting.

Together, we combat misinformation and promote peace.
