This statement is deeply misguided and reflects the growing irrelevance of institutions that have become comfort zones for Boy club of undemocratic leadership in Africa. It is time to critically re-evaluate the role and financing of the African Union, as its current structure does not adequately protect democratic values or citizens’ rights. There were no credible elections in Tanzania, that is a fact, and it must be acknowledged without compromise. @_AfricanUnion

Utterly horrified by the ongoing massacre of unarmed civilians in the city of El Fashar in Sudan's Northern Darfur region, which has seen about 2,000 people executed and nearly 30,000 others displaced in a period of just four days since the city fell to a militia. We call upon the world not to look aside or keep silent as this tragedy unfolds. All world leaders with a conscience should urgently step in and stop this slaughter.

The crisis in Sudan is sadly one of the consequences of a leader who did not plan for a peaceful transition when he had an opportunity to, until he was pushed out by the people - leaving behind a fractured nation. It falls upon the young generation of Africa to deliver our continent from this vicious cycle!

Deeply saddened by the passing of my dear friend and former Prime Minister of Kenya, Mr. Raila Odinga. He was a towering statesman and a cherished friend of India. I had the privilege of knowing him closely since my days as Chief Minister of Gujarat and our association continued over the years. He had a special affection for India, our culture, values and ancient wisdom. This was reflected in his efforts to strengthen India-Kenya ties. He particularly admired Ayurveda and traditional medicine systems of India, having witnessed their positive impact on his daughter's health. I extend my deepest condolences to his family, friends and to the people of Kenya in this hour of grief.

It is with deep sorrow that I learned of the passing of the late Hon Raila Amolo Odinga, former Prime Minister of Kenya & PanAfrican statesman. A fearless leader, Raila Odinga shaped the political trajectory of his country. A strong advocate for Continental integration, he also served the Continent as High Representative for Infrastructure Development. My deepest condolences to his family, the People and Government of Kenya.

I am saddened by the passing of Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga, E.G.H., former Prime Minister of Kenya. A foremost nationalist and defender of democracy. A great pan-Africanist. A people-centered leader. Kenya has lost one of its most illustrious leaders. Africa has lost a strong pillar and defender of democracy. He taught us how to be resilient. He rose up each time in the face of challenges, striving and running towards his life’s mission. His legacy of remarkable dedication to public service, being a voice for the voiceless, expanding the democratic space, and driving for Africa’s self-reliance will continue to endure and inspire generations of Africans to come. Kenya will miss his visionary, empowering and charismatic leadership. Africa will miss his inspiring gallantry, dauntlessness and un-cowed voice. May God comfort his dear wife Mrs. Ida Betty Odinga and family. I commiserate with H.E. President William Ruto, C.G.H., and the government and people of Kenya, on the passing of one of Kenya’s and Africa’s most revered political leaders. May his soul rest in peace. @WilliamsRuto @IdaOdinga @MusaliaMudavadi

I extend my deepest condolences to the people of the great sisterly nation of Kenya, President William Sameoi Ruto, and to the family of the late Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga, former Prime Minister of the Government of the Republic of Kenya, who died in India, earlier today.

News of the passing of this great son of Africa, who, for a long time, was a very good friend of mine, has been received with widespread sadness. Aside the many encounters and thought-experiences upon which we held deep convictions, Prime Minister Odinga and I shared mutual values on strengthening democracy and on advancing the human rights of Africa’s citizens. On 7th January, 2017, he was one of the distinguished dignitaries who attended my inauguration event at the Independence Square, in Accra.

As a founding member of the African Union, I pledged Ghana’s support, without hesitation, when, in 2024, President Ruto visited Ghana to secure our support for Prime Minister Odinga’s candidacy as AU Commission Chairperson. Indeed, he visited me himself in November 2024, as part of his campaign.

His remarkable footprints on Kenya’s stability, democracy and history will remain indelible. He will be sorely missed.

May his soul find peaceful rest in the Bosom of the Almighty, until the Last Day of the Resurrection, when we shall all meet again. Amen.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Raila Odinga was a true champion of democracy. A child of independence, he endured decades of struggle and sacrifice for the broader cause of freedom and self-governance in Kenya. Time and again, I personally saw him put the interests of his country ahead of his own ambitions. Like few other leaders anywhere, he was willing to choose the path of peaceful reconciliation without compromising his core values. Through his life, Raila Odinga set an example not just for Kenyans, but across Africa and around the world. I know he will be missed. Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to his family and to the people of Kenya.

Ndiangui Kinyagia has:

• An MCA

• An MP

• A Senator

How come none has called for a special assembly to discuss his abduction?

When it is campaign time, these politicians loiter from door to door begging for votes.

But when a voter is abducted, they feign ignorance.

[Metal Door Babe @W_Mukono]

Police denied that they had Willie Kimani, Josephat Mwenda, and Joseph Muiruri. They denied that they had the Kianjokoma brothers. Did a presser denying that they had Albert Ojwang. We know they have Ndiang'ui, and we'd like him alive na si tafadhali.
