The Gen Z revolt in Kenya is yet to run its full course. It was and is based on an idea of establishing an accountable leadership and government. But some political elites have failed to recognize that the Gen Z will come back if the systems fail to deliver. And tribe will not help anyone

[Jackson Wachira @WachWachira]

@karutikk politics of elitism a source of long-standing governance issues in Kenya. Gen-Z protests ought to provide an important reflection moment going forward @citizentvkenya @rahmah2017 @IDS_UONBI

#COP27 is over. The 1.5°C limit remains in intensive care as condition deteriorates. A whole year was idled away. No big new climate targets but big support for fossil gas. 🧵
