Eid Al-Adha is meant to be a time of joy & celebration bt for many families in Gaza, it is a time of mourning. Parents, siblings, cousins & friends are cruelly taken before their time. Instead of celebrating, it's grief, FORCED starvation & genocide. Donate to families this Eid⬇️
I haven't spoken much except to close friends, but today I'm saying this sincerely… my martyred brother's children are going through very difficult times, and they desperately need our support. Any support can make a huge difference 🤍🙏https://t.co/ZIX7DCx0aE
Watch a Mau Mau revolutionary explain how he resisted British colonialism, and why the fight isn't over.
Maina wa Murigu took up arms against British colonial rule and is still waiting for his land back, more than six decades after independence.
Speaking from Nairobi on Kenya's 63rd Madaraka Day, he described fighting British soldiers with machetes, seizing their weapons and retreating into the forests. Madaraka Day, marked every June 1, commemorates the day Kenya achieved self-rule from Britain in 1963.
"Our parents died without ever getting justice," he said. "We are soon following them."
Britain's response to the uprising was a state of emergency lasting from 1952 to 1959. The Kenya Human Rights Commission estimates 90,000 Kenyans were executed, tortured or maimed. 160,000 were detained. Nazi-style concentration camps held over 1.5 million more.
Documents recording the atrocities were later destroyed or hidden by British authorities.
@deedeehimawari@ireallyhateyou https://t.co/onqFG6qJMI B… this video is the story of people worn down by hardship, yet still holding on to hope. Every day brings new challenges, and every helping hand gives us the strength to keep going for one more day

Asking for help daily might seem strange to some, but our need has become extremely urgent due to the dire situation we are in. We are only asking because circumstances have become unbearable, and any support or assistance could make a huge difference. 🤍https://t.co/ZIX7DCx0aE

للاسف Some days, emotional exhaustion feels harsher than anything else…
And today was one of those days when I felt like I had lost my ability to endure.
I try to seem okay, but deep inside, I am truly exhausted
