Last year, the US government said some African governments refused to participate in its forced deportation programme for illegal migrants. Ghana volunteered to collect them and help dump them.
In 2022, the British government decided it no longer wished to host asylum seekers on its own territory and needed somewhere to offload them. Rwanda raised its hand.
In 2016, the United States decided it could not keep certain Guantanamo Bay prisoners in its own facilities. Ghana openly agreed to receive them on African soil.
And now the United States has decided it cannot repatriate its own Ebola patients to its own vastly superior medical infrastructure. Kenya has offered to build them a treatment centre.
Every time a Western government identifies something it considers too dangerous, too embarrassing, too legally complicated or too politically inconvenient to keep on its own territory, there is always an African government somewhere ready to collect it.
Deportees, asylum seekers, terror suspects, infectious disease patients. The willingness of certain African leaders to position their countries as the world’s surrogate waste management service, in exchange for whatever diplomatic or financial token has no visible floor.
There will always be morally bankrupt opportunists in government who will not look at the safety of their people, the dignity of their flag or the solidarity owed to the oppressed, and will instead compete to be the most useful to the powerful.

He says he knows someone and he’ll make arrangements. And just like that he made 80 sausand for 5 minutes. This is the same guy we used to steal loaves of bread with in highschool because our parents never gave us pocket money of more than 250 shillings. It doesn’t matter how long it takes,but we will eat good someday. Ya kuku ni mayai,ya dunia ni mengi

Ever dated someone who vanished after the breakup? No calls, no texts, no drama. Just clean silence and a peaceful exit like you were never part of their life.
CNN source: Americans arrived in Laikipia Airbase yesterday as plans for US Ebola isolation facility go ahead despite court order.
Current US & Kenya governments - both Trump & Ruto administrations - have a history of ignoring court rulings they don't like
