We call upon everyone, to raise their voices by calling out the government, and show solidarity by visiting our comrades at Central Police Station for those in Nairobi. This will help expose these violations and support the comrades through this repression.

In solidarity.

We have received reports of police conduct bordering on extortion, threats of deportation & denial of their fundamental rights.
These actions violate both the Constitution of Kenya and international laws including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights among others.

[Mathare Social Justice Centre (MSJC) @MathareSJustice]

Those still detained at Central P. Station are;

1.DIMITIROS PATELIS – Greek
2.LEE SANGHAN – S. Korea
3.DANBEE SONG – S. Korea
4.NOVJOTI BRAR – Britain
5.GUY BRAMOND - France

The circumstances of their detention amounts to malicious prosecution, intimidation & harassment.

Dear Comrades,

After participating in the #FranceOutOfAfrica protests, 16 comrades were arrested (11 Kenyans and 5 internationals). Until now, our international friends are still being held illegally by the state. We are seeking solidarity to ensure our comrades are released.

When the imperialists looked for a military to use in Haiti, they came to Ruto and he gave them one. When the United States came for Kenya’s health data, Ruto didn’t hesitate: he signed and agreed. When the British army molested, killed, and maltreated Kenyan women while destroying several hectares of land during training, Ruto did nothing.

When the French wanted a foothold in Kenya through a five-year renewable partnership covering maritime security and intelligence sharing, he gave them the go-ahead and immunity from Kenyan law, all under the pretense of military cooperation.

Ruto is a Western puppet who is not after the interests of the people but those of his masters and his own selfish interests. With time, many Kenyans will realize this.

Epstein case revelations: U.S. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stunned Newsmax after reviewing the unredacted Epstein documents:
“It’s far darker than anyone could have imagined: emails about torture, constant references to ‘consumption,’ a place literally called the ‘Cannibal Restaurant,’ and code words like ‘jerky’ and ‘human meat’ being tossed around as if it were nothing.”
Yes. She directly asked whether we are dealing with cannibalism. With literal human consumption.
This is no longer some fringe theory. A sitting member of Congress is openly saying what no one else dares to say: these monsters not only abused and trafficked children — they may have eaten them as well.
And the women? Ghislaine Maxwell, Rachel Chandler, and an entire network of female predators were deeply involved in delivering children into this nightmare machine.
This isn’t “elite pedophilia.” This is satanic depravity. This is ritualized evil in suits and private jets. The documents are so horrifying, she warns, that the public may not be ready for them. But you know what?
We are more than ready. We are furious.
Enough redactions. Enough excuses about “national security.” Enough protecting these flesh-eating demons. Release every page. Name every name. Burn their world down.
The American people deserve the truth — even if it makes us sick.
Especially if it makes us sick.

The concern of imperialist agencies is understandable. Any diminishing of Africa’s dependency on them threatens their hegemony. We, the Pan-Africanists, should take their concern as a compliment - a sign that we are doing the right thing.

🚨 JUST IN: Global Concern as Dangote Refinery Expands Across Africa

There are growing concerns from institutions like the World Bank and other Western agencies over the rapid expansion of Dangote Refinery’s fuel distribution across Africa.

Reports indicate that the refinery has begun supplying petroleum products to multiple countries in West and Southern Africa,

including:
• Ghana
• Togo
• Benin Republic
• Cameroon
• Côte d’Ivoire
• Senegal
• South Africa
• Namibia
• Angola

This development is happening at a time when the Strait of Hormuz has faced disruptions in recent weeks, tightening global fuel supply chains.

That situation has indirectly given Dangote Refinery an advantage, opening doors to new markets and increasing demand for its products across the continent.

The Oil is drilled from Nigeria, Refined in Nigeria and sent out to other African countries without the west.

For the first time In recent history of Africa.

The concern from Western observers appears to center around market dominance.

There are fears that Dangote Refinery could gradually position itself as a major, possibly dominant supplier of refined petroleum products in Africa,

reducing dependence on European and other international fuel exporters.

But here’s the other side of the conversation:

Even as Nigerians deal with rising fuel prices locally, exporting refined products across Africa means Nigeria earns foreign exchange in dollars.

That strengthens the country’s economic position, especially in a time when FX inflow is critical.

I have written this before when the strait of Hormuz was closed, it’s seemed to be an Advantage to Nigeria

Also, refining locally and exporting finished products removes many of the traditional barriers tied to importing refined fuel,

such as shipping costs, delays, and dependency on foreign refineries.

So the big question remains:

Why the concern?

Why is World Bank and other institutions responsible for developing countries scared of Africa feeding itself?

Is it about market balance…

Or is Dangote Refinery simply becoming a serious competitor on the global stage?

This is still a developing situation, but one thing is clear:

Africa’s energy dynamics are changing fast.

And we might be witnessing the best part of owning service to serve Africa first
