In my latest @theelephantinfo Gold and Grief, I explore how women in Kakamega’s artisanal gold mines are exploited by gender norms and unequal systems.
The industry is sustained by their labor, yet their voices and rights are routinely sidelined.ReadMore;https://t.co/GfD7HMm0ct

This is such a kick in the teeth. Here's what 4.5 billion shillings could have done instead.

[The Elephant @theelephantinfo]

Kenya’s anti-corruption efforts have stalled, leaving citizens to bear the consequences as graft permeates public life. In this episode @johngithongo highlights that with the US facing its own democratic crisis and hemorrhaging moral authority over conflicts like the war in Palestine, traditional champions of democracy are faltering. When global watchdogs stumble, local impunity is fiercely emboldened. Who fills the void when the guardrails vanish?

The Kenyan and U.S governments must be reminded that Kenya is a sovereign republic with a Constitution that protects its people, not an offshore containment zone where foreign entities can operate above the law

My hottest take is that this is worth going to death row for.
Because its murder.

Jesting about kugongewa when we've already been through this in Baba Segi's Wives. Male infertility isn't new, neither is the demonizing of women partnered with infertile men, neither the pressure on women to produce children in a marriage or else face ridicule and/or abandonment

As the Persian proverb says: ‘A thief believes everybody steals.’

If Maraga hadn't been there, this probably wouldn't have been reported as widely as it's being reported now. This is how to use presence to draw attention to the things of importance.

Former CJ David Maraga arrested while protesting the construction of a parking lot inside the Nairobi National Park.

[Green Belt Movement @GreenBeltMovmnt]

We condemn the arrest of peaceful protesters advocating for the protection of #NairobiNationalPark

Nairobi National Park is not for sale. We demand the immediate release of those arrested and respect for the rights to peaceful assembly, expression, and public participation.

I kept seeing beautiful Black women with this hairstyle. Looked like art to me so I made some.

[Joe Kobuthi @jkobuthi]

You just need to find yourself in a forum with Africans and realise how deeply the Kenyan mind has been colonized. Folks, it is serious.

You can’t call abortion “playing God” while using chemo, insulin, C-sections, IVF, and Viagra.

​You’re not against medicine.

​You’re against women choosing.

[jezz @JezziiB]

As a woman I am extremely aware the only reason I have rights is because women before me got mouthy, organized, and made herself inconvenient. Thats why I see women who uphold the patriarchy as traitors

If you don't fear Ebola you are not brave you just don't know what it is

[Katiba Institute @katibainstitute]

The Trump administration is planning to send US citizens exposed to Ebola for treatment in
KENYA: https://t.co/lftPuVfjQp @MOH_Kenya I don't see you quoted in this NYT article. When was this going to be shared with the public if true?

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

Protesters in Naples, Italy have unfurled a giant shroud bearing the names of 18,457 Palestinian children killed by Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza.
