When there’s maandamano:
- there are protestors
- there are govt forces
- Nairobi is at a standstill
Today there’s no maandamano:

Because it’s definitely not the protestors.
Kenya once set a fine example to the rest of Africa. The country now offers a how-to guide on smothering dissent. It could get worse https://t.co/f3TPWYRl5s
