As simplistic this tweet is, by any metric you use to compare SA & Kenya (even entire EAC), it’s just always jarring.

We don’t compare!!!

Netflix is fundamentally a middle-class consumption product and service. South Africa has 13 times more subscribers than Kenya. There is no real middle class in Kenya.

One thing I have to do is give Nyanje his due credit.

From his tweets, he often relates concepts/principles with day to day occurrences, in a simple way.

Had this thought with the recent tweet he did on fake alcohol/EAC Customs Union Protocol.

Grasp & good application.

I’ve often thought about how, when you’re in a new city experiencing this. Say during rush hour. Most of the locals perhaps preoccupied with their commutes. Dissatisfied with their lives, with the city.

But to you, that moment is heaven 😅

I saw @OwidiOdoyo telling @Mwafreeka on the podcast that Kenya navy should have been based in Kisumu. Why do people go to make arguments of things they have no about or expertise. The interviewer didn’t push back at all. Do we know what territorial waters mean under UNCLOS ?

これ無茶苦茶面白いんだが、どうやら中国はこのメモをテオドロに渡そうとしたんではなく、ホールスタッフに渡した（たぶん自国のメンバー間での指示メモ）のを、ホールスタッフがフィリピンのものと勘違いして壇上のテオドロ国防相に渡してしまったらしい。そして公開〇刑🤣これメモ渡した中国メンバー、みんなから心配されるレベル

以下あまりにおもしろい一問一答 by テオドロ・フィリピン🇵🇭国防相

テオドロ🇵🇭：ここにメモがあります。中国からのものかと思います。中国さんも参加すべきだったんじゃないですか……読んでもいいですか？
🇨🇳中国の南シナ海仲裁に対する立場は明確で一貫しており、揺るぎない
テ🇵🇭：中国に立場なんかないでしょ
🇨🇳この仲裁は国際法の基本原則に違反する
テ🇵🇭：中国自身が署名したUNCLOSが国際法に違反してるとおっしゃる？
🇨🇳いわゆる裁定は違法であり、無効である
テ🇵🇭：言っとけ
🇨🇳そして拘束力はない
テ🇵🇭：それは中国がUNCLOSに縛られたくないだけでしょ
🇨🇳中国は裁定を受け入れも認めもしない
テ🇵🇭：そりゃそうだろ。負けたからな
🇨🇳そして、そこから生じるいかなる主張や行動にも反対し、決して受け入れない。
テ🇵🇭：これ、今ここで私に渡された紙に書いてある言葉です。法律には res ipsa loquitur「事実そのものが語る」いう原則があるんですが、まさにこれのことですね。

テ🇵🇭：国際フォーラムの場で、私への質問とは関係ないものを差し込んできて、しかも主催者にまで失礼なことする国と、いったいどうまともに付き合えと言うんですか。どうやって礼儀正しく対応しろと言うんです？

テ🇵🇭：逆に聞きますけど、私が会場から質問を受けてる最中に、こんな紙を私に渡すのは適切なんですか？ こういう振る舞い、皆さんどう扱うつもりなんです？

テ🇵🇭：もしこれが中国から私に寄こされた公式の立場だと言うのだったら、国際法を軽んじてるだけではない。UNCLOSを床に放り投げて、その上から踏んづけてるようなものです。しかも、ここまで丁重にもてなしてくれてる主催国・韓国にも、ここにおられる皆さんにも、最低限の礼儀すら払えていないでしょう

テ🇵🇭：だから中国さん、まずは最低限の礼儀と振る舞いから身につけたらどうですか？

テ🇵🇭：フィリピン語で言ったら、「もうちょっとちゃんとして。ちょっとぐらい恥を知りなさい」ということです

テ🇵🇭：もうこれ、グレーゾーンじゃないですよ。明らかに威圧、いじめ、攻撃です。

テ🇵🇭：この紙は記念に取っときます。中国がどれだけ追い詰められているのか、それと、実際の聴衆を前にしたらその主張がどれだけ通用しないのか、よく分かる記念品ですから。
この紙を渡してくれた方には、本当にお礼を言いたいです。あなた、今ので自分の国にとても貢献しましたよ。……そのせいで収容所送りにされないことを祈っています。

途中で拍手も出ていますからね。中国メンツ丸つぶれの巻です🤣

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

In a difficult and dangerous world, a decade on from Brexit, there is a risk that Britain loses the confidence to lead and stand up for its values.

I’m not prepared to let that happen. It is more important than ever that Britain stands for something.

We have called for years for a two-state solution in the Middle East, but we must recognise that those words are meaningless unless we back them up with action.

For too long, we have been hesitant to act, fearful of being accused of being anti-Israel.

Today we are announcing carefully judged, targeted steps that are not aimed at the Israeli people, but at the unacceptable policies of the current Israeli government.

The suffering of the Palestinian people is a scar on the conscience of the world. Innocent Palestinians, including children, continue to be killed in Gaza. And there is still a humanitarian crisis, with far too little aid getting in.

The scale of destruction is hard to comprehend. More than 70,000 people lie dead - at least 20,000 of them children. Families and communities have been torn apart. Millions displaced. And the population of Gaza is now penned into just one third of the territory.

I know that people across the UK feel very deeply about this issue - and so do I.

Before I became Prime Minister, I said our country’s response had been too slow and simply not good enough. That’s why I committed to changing the government’s approach.

I will not stand by as the horrific suffering continues to grow and the prospect of a two-state solution - the best hope for peace and stability in the region - comes under attack.

More settlements have been approved under the four years of this Israeli government than in the previous 20 years. The UN has reported more than 1,500 incidents of settler violence so far this year, aimed at driving out Palestinians. And the situation is growing worse, fast.

The Israeli government has now approved 104 new settlements since it took office in December 2022, and ahead of the October elections in Israel, it is allowing tenders for the construction of the E1 mega settlement to go ahead. This would cut a swathe through the heart of the West Bank - snuffing out the hope of realising a two-state solution. It cannot be allowed to happen.

That’s why we are announcing a new package of tough measures to put pressure on the Israeli government:

First, we will ban the trade in goods with illegal settlements in Palestine.

Second, we have formally changed the view of the British government to say for the first time that the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory is unlawful - independent of, but in line with, the conclusion of the international court of justice.

And third, we will sanction individuals and companies that support, facilitate or profit from illegal settlements. That includes any businesses or investors that take part in the construction of the E1 settlement.

In addition, we are announcing a new package of desperately needed humanitarian aid to Gaza.

We are taking these steps because it is the right thing to do.

I have condemned the monstrous terrorist attack on Israel on 7 October 2023 in the strongest possible terms - and continue to condemn Hamas. However, it does not justify the Israeli government’s actions in Gaza or the West Bank.

The measures we are taking are about targeting illegal settlements and increasing the pressure on the Israeli government to change course. We are not imposing sanctions on Israel as a whole, which would punish the Israeli people, many of whom disagree with their government’s position.

The Israeli people are not responsible for the actions of their government. And nor is the Jewish community in the UK. Blaming British Jews for the actions of Benjamin Netanyahu’s government is wrong, plain and simple. And it is antisemitism, plain and simple.

I met the representatives of the Jewish community just last week. I know the fear they live with day by day. My government will stop at nothing to ensure they are safe and to stamp out antisemitism in every part of our society.

The measures we are announcing today are about protecting the only solution that could see the Israeli and Palestinian people living side by side in peace and security - something that people up and down the UK desperately want to see.

The government I lead will keep working with our partners around the world to keep that hope alive.

I have been reading loads of case law while writing submissions on a USELESS suit filed by a party to buy time and waste everyone's time. But in reading the judgments of the courts, I was taken back and pleasantly surprised to see how three judges for me are the outstanding judges for the past decade. They write well, erudite, eloquent and great legal articulacy. They show jurisprudential flair, swagger and panache. They are progressive and will be remembered for long time to come. In a country that rarely celebrates real heroes, in a judiciary enveloped by JurisPESA manenos...Three judges who were most consequential and impactful in the past decade and contributed most in developing the law and giving Kenya hope and faith in our courts are...Kathurima M'inoti, Odunga and Mativo. They have decided to make a name and do justice. Others decided to make money auctioning justice, buying properties and living large...choices have consequences.

For factory fitted car sound systems, between JBL and Bose, my vote goes to JBL. 🔊
The Mazda Bose sound system is more enjoyable in the Mazda Saloons than in the Mazda Swagons. However,Toyota's JBL sound system is on another level regardless of the model. 😎🎶
