Men's mental health matters. Too many men carry invisible struggles while trying to meet society's expectations of strength and success.
At VOCAL Africa, we believe that seeking support is a sign of courage, not weakness. Let us create safe spaces where men can speak, heal and thrive. #MensMentalHealth

Today, South Africa faces Mexico.

It's funny watching some Africans rush to support Mexico because they're angry at South Africans over immigration issues. Your own country isn't at the World Cup. Some have never even qualified.

Whether you like South Africa or not, they are carrying an African flag on that pitch today. Supporting Mexico over an African team says more about you than it does about South Africa.

Africa first.

The spirit of Pan-Africanism, Ubuntu and Utu reminds us that we are one people. While we celebrate and support South Africa's Bafana Bafana on the global stage, we cannot ignore the ongoing struggle of our brothers and sisters facing xenophobia.

Colonial borders shouldn't divide us. It’s time to end the violence, celebrate our shared heritage and ensure every African feels safe at home across the continent.

We found evidence of construction going on inside the Nairobi National Park but @KWSKenya just confiscated our drone. Currently protests by lobby groups and environmentalists are going on over the construction.

Why are SIYU residents being harrased & tortured? We shall not afford silence when all these atrocities are happening? @SkettyWalid @husskhalid #JusticeForSIYUResidents

Thousands of Lamu residents have taken to the streets in massive protests, expressing deep frustration over the police force's outright defiance of a court order lifting the local curfew.

The demonstrators are calling out law enforcement for operating above the law and demanding immediate adherence to the judicial ruling, which was meant to restore nighttime freedom and revive the coastal region's strained economy.

One life lost is one too many.

Today, we have taken to the streets of Nairobi to demand an end to the growing crisis of femicide and pedicide that continues to devastate families across the country.

Every victim had dreams, loved ones and a future. Their lives mattered.

[VOCAL Africa @VOCALAfrica_]

Today, VOCAL Africa joins millions across the globe to celebrate the beauty and resilience of our beloved continent.
As we celebrate, we also stand firm in the collective fight for human rights, ensuring every African voice is heard, protected and empowered.
Our cultures are our strength and justice is our foundation.

VOCAL Africa is hosting a meeting today with representatives from the Tuktuk and Bodaboda associations. The discussion centers on addressing the recent increase in ferry rates, which follows the surge in fuel prices affecting our community.

[Miiri Julius @miirilaw]

If I send you I send you this! Just know you are lying and I’m about to tell the truth 😂😂💀

[Walid Sketty @SkettyWalid]

To PROTEST is basically to DEFY impunity , corruption, over taxation e.t.c but police in Kenya use protests as an opportunity to Kill unarmed civilians.
Murkomen read out the number of Kenyans killed in today's protest like no big deal!!!

Kesho Monday 18th May we are holding a peaceful demonstration in Mtwapa to condemn the delay in completion of road construction and soaring fuel prices.

Let us all be there!

Activist Hussein Khalid speaks out against femicide following several cases reported in recent weeks

[VOCAL Africa @VOCALAfrica_]

When the road gets too rough, the community comes together. Activists take to the streets in Mombasa, rallying matatu operators and citizens for the upcoming protests.
High costs of living affect us all, it's time for real solutions.

[husseinkhalid @husskhalid]

It is too much now - too many women, too many girls are losing their lives.

Femicide is draining our humanity as a country.

We must deal with femicide and stop it in its tracks.

This week, my article in @TheStarKenya was about femicide.
