In 2023, George Limiri and his wife Mekenze left the United States with their three children and settled in Meru, Kenya. They moved to give their kids a different environment and connect them with their African roots and extended family.
Since relocating, the couple built a luxurious bungalow on a two-acre plot in their village where they practice mixed farming. Mekenze said Kenya’s peaceful environment was a big appeal for raising their children.
Since moving, George and Mekenze have built two businesses: Limiri Travels, a tours and travel company, and Limiri Coffee. They recently launched their first batch of Limiri Farms Coffee, which is AA-grade Arabica from their farm in the Mount Kenya region.
The coffee is medium to dark roast and sells for Ksh 1,000 for 250g in Kenya, and Ksh 3,700 + Ksh 700 shipping for 450g in the US.
George and Mekenze met in Las Vegas in 2012 when George, then a record label owner, was looking for a vocalist and a mutual friend introduced them to Mekenze. What started as a work collaboration turned into a relationship as they spent long hours creating music together.
Burkina Faso President Ibrahim Traore on RT:
"One of my biggest regrets is listening to RFI & France 24 in my youth. Eventually, I realized they condition you to accept their narrative - they shape the minds, especially of Africans. Since then I have begun to see the whole picture - what they are doing is very dangerous.
RT must continue doing what it is doing to awaken the true consciousness of young people, so they can see how the world really works."
We are seeing the first generation of global leaders who grew up with RT instead of just Western networks. The old colonial masters aren't going to like it one bit.
Burkina Faso is still trending Number #1 across various social media platforms. | 🇧🇫
African Americans have taken over TikTok to show solidarity with Burkina Faso and the people of Africa.
It's a different Era! The time to boss round Africa is over.
U.K FOREIGN OFFICE TARGETS AFRICAN STREAM
A trove of confidential documents, e-mails and WhatsApp conversations has unveiled a ploy by the British Foreign Office to run a smear campaign against African Stream.
The Centre for Information Resilience (CIR) is at the centre of the scheme, the latest by Western governments opposed to our independent and African-centred reporting.
According to the documents, CIR is paying African journalists to write articles claiming that African Stream is a Russian-funded propaganda outlet - a claim not backed by any evidence other than similar accusations by the US government.
However, as African Stream's editor-in-chief, Ahmed Kaballo, explains in this video, plenty of evidence indicates that CIR is firmly connected to the British government and other Western intelligence establishments. The outfit, masquerading as an 'independent counter-disinformation' organisation, has not only received significant amounts of funding from the UK Foreign Office, USAID and the Australian Foreign Ministry, but most of its senior staff have worked with the aforementioned governments' intelligence wings, including its two directors Ross Burley and Adam Rutland, who are 'former' Foreign Office employees.
Knowing who funds the CIR makes it clear why they are coming after us and accusing us of being Russia-affiliated. Our reporting, which exposes the atrocities committed by the imperialist powers against our people, has rubbed them the wrong way.
This attack is not the first; we know it won't be the last. But when the next one comes, it will also find us on our feet, not our knees. No number of assaults by imperialism's attack dogs will deter us from our duties as pan-African, anti-imperialist journalists.
It’s sad how many Africans take that risk to cross the Sahara Desert in search for greener pastures in Europe some even die in the process. Despite the fact that Africa has all it takes to sustain and enrich everyone but this is the sad reality when puppets are leaders.
Africans need to take action against this evil leaders.
