International aid often disappoints when gvt has broken down. Will sufficient health supplies get to Khartoum ? Need to ensure food, clean water and shelter for those who don’t get to leave. #SudanConflict #SocialJustice

@MissNasike what i meant earlier was how can we have a book fair in Africa without African books? Even just Kenyan authors would be ok -Ngugi wa Thiongo, @AdhiamboKE , Okot p Bitek, our late Binyavanga, Ciku Kimeria!

[Micheline @MichelineMutoni]

@MissNasike is this allowed? African book fair without African books? @saritcentre who organised this?

[Micheline @MichelineMutoni]

This week had #ethiopiancoffee or #kenyantea with a few #climatechange experts and #environmentalists asking what they will expect of #COP27 for Africa. Thoughts? Will we progress ?
