We face an unfortunate paradox as a country where more lives are being lost as the people seek justice for the lives already lost. Our hearts break for all the victims of the continued trend of police brutality and excesses. We urge all Kenyans to take responsibility for their safety and that of fellow citizens in these trying moments for our country. Let us keep each other safe.

Same old shit, just a different time.

They were just sitting by the roadside when police came for them. I kept filming. @BBCAfrica

Today marks the first anniversary of our fallen comrades. We remember. We remember ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿

[Micere Nyaga @ThunderKaat]

This headline is utterly absurd @NationAfrica
The little girl did not decide to become a mother
She was raped by her uncle💔
Reframing it to 'made it happen ' is such an injustice to a little girl who underwent sheer devastation and assault in the hands of her uncle.
Take it down

[Mūrūthi @Ngartia]

If you are still convinced you can escape this or watch it from the sidelines, you're lying to yourself.

Huyo msee hakuwa maandamano.
Utauliwa hivo pia.

Utapatwa kwa gate kama ule boy wa K-West.

Mtoto wako atapigwa risasi kwa balcony kama Yasiin Moyo.

Ama rungu kama Pendo.

Record EVERYTHING.
Document EVERYTHING.
Share EVERYTHING.
Post EVERYTHING.

[Marcus Olang' @marcusolang]

At a protest.
About the killing.
Of a Kenyan.
In the police custody.

A police officer.
Shot an unarmed man.
In the head.
And casually walked away.

An unarmed man.
Selling masks.
Minding his business.

Shot in the head.
Literally minding his business.

[Dan Aceda @danaceda]

What is his name rank? What station is he attached to? Where is he being held? What were his orders today? What else did he do before this shooting? Has he accounted for all the bullets you gave him? Is he sober?

Give a full report.

[Ramah Nyang @Ramah_Nyang]

As @HakiKNCHR points out, “most of the police officers concealed their vehicle registration numbers & faces with masks & hoods, in contravention of a 2024 High Court ruling that requires all police officers….to be in official uniform and remain identifiable at all times.��

[Ramah Nyang @Ramah_Nyang]

Lots of things missing here:

[1] The identity of the police officer who's supposedly been arrested. Where's visual, verifiable proof of his arrest?
[2] The line about how goons will be "handled firmly" directly contradicts open source footage of club-wielding individuals milling around the police, with the latter taking no action against them.

‼️ Again, #Kenya blocked access to Telegram during the #KCSE exams

OONI data shows that Safaricom started blocking access to Telegram yesterday: https://t.co/GQpDRR8R8u

Telegram was also blocked in #Kenya last year during the #KCSE exams: https://t.co/2A527HBjeB

[Nanjira @NiNanjira]

Learning there’s a phishing scam guised under SHA payments. It has a link redirecting folks to an eCitizen spoof site, where one is prompted to enter their M-PESA PIN and the rest is shege.

This rushed digital superhighway is a cybersecurity nightmare! #CyberFi

Jesus Christ.
Is this the 100th woman in the space of 90 days? 💔💔

Kenya is in the midst of a femicide crisis.

A win for human rights!

The ICT Authority in Mauritius has lifted its ban on social media! The ban which was supposed to last until after elections on November 11 was lifted about 24 hours after implementation.

We urge the authorities to #KeepItOn at all times!

[Access Now @accessnow]

Another country joins our shame list of offenders as Mauritius blocks access to digital platforms ahead of elections!

Internet shutdowns harm democratic elections, amplify the spread of misinformation, and violate people's fundamental rights. #KeepItOn
