Stop rallying around individuals and rally around ideas. That way when individuals lose their way you can still have a sense of pulling in the same direction. That's why we keep harping on about the constitution; not because it's perfect but because it gives us a shared start.

Washington completes the Disneyfication of William Ruto-
In a tradition that changes cast but not much of the script, the US has named its new man in Africa - @KiriRupiah in @thecontinent_

@stephenasmith Couldn't agree more...!

[Samira Sawlani @samirasawlani]

If you follow/cover/are interested in events in Kenya- then I deffo recommend listening into this conversation re: the Finance Bill 2024.
It has just started.

#nbaontnt why is nobody talking about McDaniels?

Journalists don’t owe you “nice”- they owe you accurate reporting of what’s going on.
People have died, people have lost their homes & livelihoods.
Their stories deserve to be told.
You can always switch over from CNN and visit the tourism board website for nice pictures.

My latest column-on the floods in Kenya where communities have stepped in amid govt failures.
Plus news from Togo where President Gnassingbe & Co have been tinkering with the constitution + we’re keeping up with the coupdashions in Niger

Documentary out today on the BBC. We spent time in the West Bank, where violence has been escalating…

And found evidence of potential breaches of international law by the Israel military — including the death of an 8 year-old boy.

Welcome to Issue 149 of The Continent.

The Ruto of the problem: Hustler-in-chief William Ruto was elected on promises of creating opportunities for ordinary people.

But as is the case with the “grindset grift”, that’s not what’s happened.
