@mainandegwa232 Bible iliwawarn 😁😁

Proverbs 27-29:

27
Can a man scoop fire into his lap without his clothes being burned?

28
Can a man walk on hot coals without his feet being scorched?

29
So is he who sleeps with another man's wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished.

49 people have been killed by police in Kenya between January and May 2026, according to data documented by @MissingVoicesKE.

Nearly half of these deaths (24) occurred in May alone, making it the deadliest month of the year so far.

Since 2004, 53 states have contributed a cumulative ~€53M to the ICC's Trust Fund for Victims.

The combined liability from reparations orders alone is ~€171M, more than three times everything the fund has ever received in its entire history.

Victims in Mali, Uganda, and DRC are waiting. Will the @TFV_FPV deliver? @JFJustice looks at this in detail. Read more here: https://t.co/tqqc4nvuxl @IntlCrimCourt @hrw @justiceinfonet

ICC Prosecutor @KarimKhanQC 's lawyers have rejected the Bureau's decision "in the strongest terms", arguing that it disregarded the findings of an independent Judicial Panel which found no misconduct under the relevant legal framework.

The @IntlCrimCourt Presidency has meanwhile urged the Assembly of States Parties to conclude the disciplinary proceedings "with the highest priority".

Rosemary Tollo: Programme Director @JFJustice: Kenya needs proper investigations into recruiters and intermediaries. It needs to screen returnees as possible victims of trafficking, coercion or exploitation. And it must publicly account for Kenyans who have been recruited, killed, detained, returned or are still missing.

[JFJustice @JFJustice]

"Families of African men recruited are asking the most basic questions: Is my son alive? Is he dead? Is he still fighting? Who took him there?

These are not complicated demands. They are the minimum any family deserves." — @JFJustice Programme Director, Rosemary Tollo

[JFJustice @JFJustice]

"What began as isolated reports became a pattern — deception, exploitation, poverty, and a failure to protect vulnerable people."

We've spent months documenting how young African men were funnelled into Russia's war. Our findings are clear: this is an accountability issue."

Only 6 seats are open on the #ICC bench in Dec 2026 elections, yet, for representation, Africa has fronted 8 candidates. This could split support among states.

Breaking from @RSF_inter: The 2026 World Press Freedom Index is out, and it’s the worst in 25 years.
For the first time ever, over half the world’s countries are now in the “difficult” or “very serious” categories. Journalism is being criminalised globally, the overall score is at an all-time low, and our right to information is under unprecedented attack.

Double standards, stated plainly:
#ICC Prosecutor @KarimKhanQC says U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham told him the @IntlCrimCourt is “for Africa and thugs like Putin” - but not for “democracies like Israel and the United States.”

President of #FIDH, Alexis Deswaef:
It is important to prosecute foreign fighters on the Russian side...Their presence furthers Russian aggression and undermines both regional and global security, reinforcing predatory recruitment and human trafficking networks. #ForeignFighters #Ukraine #Accountability #TruthHounds #FIDH

[JFJustice @JFJustice]

Liubov Abravitova, Director of Africa and Regional African Organizations Directorate General, MFA of Ukraine:

We are tackling yet another attempt by Russia to weaponise poverty and the challenges in developing countries. For more than 12 years of Russian aggression, it has been using food as a weapon, and the first region targeted was the African continent. That is why we have joined to analyse and prevent further recruitment and human trafficking.

The Ejil Talk has published an article examining the strong legal objections from the US, UK and EU to the recent UN Declaration that calls the trafficking of enslaved Africans "the gravest crime against humanity".

It analyses concerns raised including inter-temporal law, the use of “gravest crime”, and the declaration’s legal weight.

@IntlCrimCourt has ordered €7.25 million in reparations for approximately 65,202 victims in the #AlHassancase. Al Hassan was a senior member of the Islamist "Islamic Police" in Timbuktu, Mali (2012). He was convicted by the ICC of crimes against humanity and war crimes.

On April 28, 2026, Trial Chamber X ordered collective rehabilitation and symbolic reparations, to be implemented by the Trust Fund for Victims.

I couldn't agree more. Quite a lot are like this. Millenials were raised by fear, whupped and told not to cry, and if you did, another beating you get. We'd wake up at 6 to cut grass for the cows, milk them, and clean the shed...we were taught responsibility, unapologetically.

[JFJustice @JFJustice]

Former top #ICC prosecutor @MorenoOcampo1 spoke at Harvard Monday and warned that President Trump’s threats to bomb Iran’s energy infrastructure could be war crimes.

He said it’s basically the same as what Russia did to Ukraine’s civilian power grid, something the ICC already charged Russian leaders for.

"Read the Russian indictment, just change the name," he said. Targeting civilian power systems isn’t allowed under international law.
