@JacobKinge Why is everybody referring the whale as “he”? 🫣

[William Samoei Ruto, PhD @WilliamsRuto]

We are blessed to live in a country that has been shaped by the will, the leadership, and the vision of the Right Hon Raila Odinga.

With an unshakable faith in the values of our country and the character of our people, Hon Raila Odinga fought for our democracy and led the path towards our new constitutional order.

A peacemaker who always put country first, his optimism, strength, and humility epitomised the Kenyan spirit.

Hon Raila Odinga always believed that our best days are yet to come. His was a path walked with conviction. He bore the scars of struggle with dignity, knowing that freedom was not free and that truth often demands sacrifice.

His life was a testament to the enduring power of a vision grounded in the ideals of democracy, justice, and unity. He was a man who refused to accept the easy path when the right path was harder.

There can be no doubt that Hon Raila Odinga was the most significant leader of our democratic experiment. He carried himself with courage and grace and his voice, sometimes fiery, sometimes soft, always echoed with purpose.

Hon Odinga is no longer with us, but he has left us stronger and better. We take comfort in the knowledge that he has gone to a better place, a place where rest awaits him. His legacy in Kenya, Africa and on the world stage - as a patriot, a pan-Africanist, and a global statesman - is written in the sands of time.

A quintessential progressive and reformer, he fought for the ideals of human rights, democracy, the rule of law and inclusivity and economic opportunity for all until he breathed his last.

l have lost a big brother, a mentor, a confidant and a selfless patriot. Every time l needed wise counsel, I turned to him time and again. He never once failed me and told me the truth every time, even when the truth was hard.

He has left us a solid foundation built on the rock of faith. It is on that foundation that we shall find our way forward, inspired by his example, his legacy and optimism that our future is great.

From my immediate family, Rachel and the children, we want to assure Mama Ida, Rosemary, Raila Junior, Winnie, Senator Oburu and the entire Odinga family that we stand with them in this moment of grief. Above all, l urge all Kenyans to join hands as we celebrate the incredible legacy of this towering figure in our history.

#Ethiopia: "It is only a matter of time before we become a member of Red Sea Community"—Field Marshal Berhanu Jula

Field Marshal Berhanu Jula, Chief of General Staff of the Ethiopian Armed Forces, said Ethiopia’s lack of access to the sea is “unjust” and that the demand for access is now “recognized as a just question in the international community.” Speaking at the 129th anniversary of the #Adwa Victory celebration on 2 March 2025 in #Addis_Abeba, he stated, "It is only a matter of time before we become a member of the #Red_Sea community."

Field Marshal Berhanu also highlighted the military’s ongoing modernization. "We are not preparing for minor disturbances; we are preparing to defend against external aggression," he said. He reaffirmed Ethiopia’s commitment to securing its national interests through peaceful means, adding, "We are building an army that not only defends against aggression but also deters the enemy."

Watch!

Volcano in #Ethiopia is releasing unusually large plumes of methane

Satellites have detected "unusually large volumes" of methane emissions from Mount Fentale in Ethiopia, following months of seismic activity that displaced tens of thousands of people. Scientists say the source of the methane remains unclear, but its scale is unexpected.

A European Union satellite first identified methane in the area around the volcano, located about 120 kilometers east of Addis Ababa. The detection prompted GHGSat, a Canadian company specializing in methane monitoring, to focus its high-resolution satellites on the site. On 31 January, they recorded methane rising from the crater "at a rate of 58 tonnes per hour," which is roughly 1,400 metric tonnes per day—comparable to the emissions from burning about 20 million kilograms of coal.

John Stix, a volcanologist at McGill University, said that while volcanoes commonly emit gases like carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide, "it's unusual" to see this level of methane associated with volcanic activity. He noted that such measurements were only possible due to the increasing number of satellites monitoring methane emissions from sources like oil fields and coal mines.
