'President William Ruto was at Evian because South Africa was not there. French President Emmanuel Macron, under pressure from Washington over its tensions with Pretoria, needed an African face at the table.'

'Kenya was not the partner but was simply the venue — invited not because it was indispensable, but because it was available.'

Wicknell Chivayo, a 44-year-old Zimbabwean businessman whose Instagram page is a luxury exhibition of private jets, expensive cars and posh Harare homes, is also a convicted fraudster.
His businesses have been built on a foundation of court cases, corruption scandals and tenders that often fail to materialise.

🚨Wayne Rooney speaking on Portugal vs DRC Congo full-time draw

Wayne Rooney 🗣️
"If Portugal want to go deep in the World Cup, I don't think Cristiano Ronaldo should be starting every game anymore.

Don't get me wrong, the desire, mentality and winning mindset are still there. You can see how much he still wants to score goals and help his country succeed.

But at this stage of his career, it's difficult to maintain the same intensity for 90 minutes as he once did. That's normal for any player.

I think Portugal could benefit more from using him as an impact substitute. Bringing him on in the second half when defenders are tired would allow him to use his experience, movement and finishing ability to make a real difference.

He's still capable of changing games, but perhaps in a different role than before.

As for England, I wish them all the best in the tournament. They have a talented squad, an experienced manager and every chance of going all the way."

I am a Kenyan of Somali origin, born in Wajir and raised in Mombasa. This issue did not start today; it has existed for decades.
I remember when I was a student in Mombasa during President Moi's era and later when President Kibaki came into office.

There are tens of places in Kenya that are slept-on tourism locales that with a holistic vision could generate tens of millions of USD every year. 🇰🇪⛺️

Kenya has the infrastructure and the tourism background to handle new ideas for new places..

Yet it has no one with a clear vision. Floating on tourism income streams and ideas that are more than half a century old.

My personal vision for Kenya is greater and clearer than 99% of the population. Everyone is twiddling their thumbs.

I was speaking to someone recently and told them I was born and raised in Dandora. They simply couldn’t believe it.

What many people see today is not the Dandora I grew up in.

When I was a child, Dandora wasn’t a slum. It was a beautiful, leafy suburb. We had a stadium, a cinema, paved roads, green spaces, schools, playgrounds, a shopping centre, a community centre, a train station, and a proper bus park. It was planned, organized, and full of life. Families took pride in their neighbourhood, and children had places to play and dream.

Most families owned at least one car usually a Datsun or a Peugeot. The streets were clean, the estates were vibrant, and there was a real sense of community. Neighbours knew each other, children played outside until dusk, and life moved at a pace that allowed people to connect.

Sometimes I look at what it has become and feel a deep sense of sadness. Not just for Dandora, but for so many old estates across Kenya that seem to slowly fade away with time.

It makes me wonder: why is it that so many once-thriving neighbourhoods in Kenya are allowed to deteriorate until they become shadows of what they once were? How do places built with such promise end up forgotten?

Perhaps what hurts most is knowing what Dandora used to be, and remembering it not as a headline or a stereotype, but as home.

A home that, for all its changes, still lives vividly in the memories of those who knew it at its best.

One of the goons who were paid to disrupt the Human Rights Commission's All Saints Cathedral event has been anonymously interviewed by Citizen TV.

The goon has confessed that they were hired by a politician, who paid them Ksh 1000 each.

He says that they were given police escort but the police turned against them upon finding out that All Saints Cathedral has CCTV cameras.

Those of them who were arrested were released via a phone call which was made to the OCS.

The one who was massaged at All Saints Cathedral before confessing in front of the camera that they were sent by John Mbadi, was given transport and asked to disappear from Nairobi for a while.

This is how a beautiful country is being turned into ruins by politicians and their uncouthness.

@RupertLowe10 Britain doesn't have an immigration problem.
Britain has a specific cultural integration problem that its politicians were too cowardly to address for 30 years.
And that cowardice is now tearing the country apart.
Let me explain. 🧵🇬🇧

It’s important to know that the social media ban for under 16s is not a ban for under 16s.

It is a ban on *selected* social media for EVERYONE. Until you identify yourself.

I have stopped going to South Africa for any international conferences for mainly 3 things.

1. Border police rudeness: Some years ago I was invited for a conference on conflicts in the Horn in South Africa. I showed email invite to the border policeman at the desk. He rudely asked: "but why can't you people hold your peace conferences in your homes. Why always come to South Africa?" - I think he had a point. Why must we?

Second time it was worse - "But why are you Zomallis and Ethiopians always here."

I reminded him I was actually Kenyan, and I was only in the country for 2 days for an international conference

Reply: "Sheh, um, eh. But what is the difference"

2. As soon as locals figure out you are a black person, possibly African from another country, the automatic assumption is that you are an illegal migrant. You see immediate hostile reaction. Honestly, I found SA one of the most miserable places on earth in terms of peoples' attitude to foreigners. The visceral hatred towards fellow Africans is unnerving. Still one of the most beautiful geographies in Africa.

3. The state bureaucracy and departments filled with people who actually know very little about the outside world. Most of the best people who made South Africa an outward-looking African power are gone. All remaining are small-time apparatchiks stealing from the state and fat toads serving as diplomats. I feel sorry for South Africa.

The Bosnian genocide isn’t talked about enough

[SirJester @JesterSirr]

Kenyans need to start holding senior police officers responsible for their juniors actions it is long overdue. This is the only way to instill discipline & restore order in what has become a deeply dysfunctional department. Take them to court.

Things like this break my heart and are one of the reasons I despise people who bring children into the world without being able to take care of them.

Look at how young this girl is, yet the world is already punishing her for the mistakes of her parents. Imagine being treated like a slave at that age. You don’t even want to know the kind of workload she probably has in that house.

The sad part is that her parents likely gave her to this woman believing she would have a better life. Well, here we are. so much for the “better life.”😤
