Activist: "The water usage for beef is obscene. Thousands of litres per kilogram."
Farmer: "That's rainfall."
Activist: "What?"
Farmer: "The figure includes all the rain that falls on the pasture. The cows drink from the stream. The rain falls whether there's a cow here or not."
Activist: "It's still water consumption."
Farmer: "Should I stop the rain falling on my field?"
Activist: "Grow crops instead. More efficient."
Farmer: "This is a 35-degree slope in the Welsh hills. Show me the crop."
Activist: "Technology..."
Farmer: "To make tractors climb mountains?"
Activist: "There must be a solution."
Farmer: "There is. It's called a cow."

3 years ago, My sister was brutally murdered at my parents house in #Kenya . Together with @johnallannamu from @AfUncensored , we did a documentary on about her, and the suspect, whom I saw with my own eyes a week before , was arrested, by @DCI_Kenya , after a lot of "pressure"

The body of Clinton Nyapara Mogesa, a Kenyan citizen born in 1997, was found at one of the positions of Russian forces, Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence reported.

Mogesa had lived and worked in Qatar before later signing a contract with the Russian armed forces and being sent to one of Russia’s assault units.

After only brief training, Mogesa was killed during a "meat assault" in Donetsk region.

Russians did not evacuate his body, and his family has received neither compensation nor any explanation from the Russian side.

The killed mercenary was also carrying passports belonging to two other Kenyan citizens - likely fellow recruits, whom Russia is preparing to send into future assaults.

One of the main reasons I wanted to visit Kenya was to personally thank police officers who, as the backbone of the Multinational Security Support mission, helped prevent criminal gangs from taking over Haiti these past two years. I was therefore delighted to visit the National Police College, along with Interior Minister @kipmurkomen and National Security Advisor @AmbMonicaJuma, to recognize and honor those officers who served in Haiti, including three who did not return. Our countries and the world are safer as a result of US 🇺🇸-Kenya 🇰🇪 security cooperation in Haiti and elsewhere. 🫡

My grandparents walked out of Auschwitz, but millions of others did not. On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the victims and the survivors who rebuilt their lives from the ashes. “Never again” requires more than words—it requires strength and action. No President has done more to give real meaning to those words than President Trump. We must never let the world forget.

All Nile Basin Countries, Russia, and China Must Be Invited to Trump’s GERD Negotiations

The Math Doesn’t Add Up: Ethiopia Faces 5-to-1 Pressure

I read the Jan 16, 2026, White House letter to President El-Sisi. I’m using the words on the page.
The letter opens with Gaza praise, then pivots straight into the Nile and calls it “The Nile Water Sharing,” “once and for all.” Then it drops three phrases that carry real weight in negotiations:
1.“A strong United States role in monitoring and coordinating between parties.”
2. “Predictable water releases during droughts and prolonged dry years for Egypt and the Sudan.”
3. “No state… should unilaterally control the precious resources of the Nile, and disadvantage its neighbors…”

That language is not neutral. It’s a frame.
Now look at the CC list, because the CC list is the room. Saudi Arabia is copied. The UAE is copied. Ethiopia and Sudan are copied.

Count the leverage around that table:
US + Egypt + Sudan + Saudi + UAE versus Ethiopia
That is 5-to-1 pressure before anyone even sits down.

If you say “Nile Basin Nations,” and " Water Sharing," then invite the Nile Basin Nations

Saudi Arabia and the UAE are not Nile Basin riparians. They contribute no basin flow. Yet they are placed inside the process, while most actual Nile Basin countries are not even mentioned. If this is truly “a lasting agreement for all Nile Basin Nations,” then where are the rest?

A real basin table includes the full basin family: Ethiopia, Sudan, Egypt, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, South Sudan, DR Congo, and Eritrea as an observer if needed. You cannot call it basin-wide while inviting non-basin brokers and excluding basin states. That is not mediation. That is choreography.

The hydrology doesn’t lie
People can argue politics forever. They cannot argue physics. The Ethiopian tributaries, Abay (Blue Nile), Sobat, and Atbara contribute the overwhelming share of the flow measured downstream at Aswan, commonly summarized as about 85 percent, while the White Nile contributes roughly 15 percent.

So when non-basin countries get seats while basin countries are locked out, it is not water sharing. It is influence sharing, and Ethiopia is expected to carry the cost.

Even this letter admits Ethiopia has water needs too, not just Egypt and Sudan. Fine. Then act like it. A basin file must be treated like a basin file.

UAE: business ties are not official support
Yes, Ethiopia and the UAE have economic and political ties. Usually, Abu Dhabi speaks the language of mediation. But on the GERD file, Arab and Gulf bloc statements repeatedly center Egypt and Sudan’s “water security” framing.

The evidence speaks for itself. In March 2020, Ethiopia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs rejected an Arab League resolution on GERD as “blind support” for one member state. The UAE did not publicly distance itself from that bloc position. In June 2021, GCC foreign ministers, including the UAE, issued a statement prioritizing Egypt and Sudan’s water security and welcoming the Arab League line against “unilateral measures” that undermine Egypt and Sudan’s rights in the Nile.

That tells you what the UAE is on this file: a transactional broker. Brokers follow interests, not justice.

Gaza first, Nile next: transactional diplomacy is back
The letter starts with Gaza, then pivots to the Nile. That’s how transactional politics works: files get linked, favors get traded, pressure gets packaged as peace. Egypt has leverage in Gaza. Ethiopia does not. Ethiopia must never allow the Nile to become a payment method for Middle East politics. Ethiopia is not a bargaining chip. The Nile is not a prize to be traded. GERD is not a favor. Ethiopia does not need permission to operate it.

The trap words are “monitoring,” “coordination,” and “drought”

“Monitoring and coordinating” sounds harmless until it isn’t. In diplomacy, monitoring can quietly become permission, and coordination can quietly become control, especially when Ethiopia is outnumbered.

Now add the word “drought.” In these negotiations, drought is not just weather. In draft texts Ethiopia has seen before, “drought” and “prolonged dry years” get turned into technical triggers that force additional releases. That is how quotas sneak in through the back door, without ever using the words “historic rights.”

Here is the deeper trap. If drought is defined against a historical downstream baseline, then any Ethiopian development gets framed as “drought.” If Ethiopia expands irrigation for food security, or builds additional power dams and regulates flows differently, Egypt can point to the reduced flow and say “drought.” Then the trigger clauses activate, and Ethiopia is forced into predictable releases and emergency mitigation, not because nature failed, but because Ethiopia developed.

That is the purpose of the drought vocabulary: freeze Ethiopian development without writing a quota.

Ethiopia’s response should be calm and non-negotiable. Two demands should be made immediately.

Demand 1: Invite all Nile Basin countries.
If the letter says “all Nile Basin Nations,” prove it. Bring them all.
Demand 2: If outsiders are included, balance the outsiders.
If Saudi Arabia and the UAE are included despite being non-basin states, then Ethiopia has every right to insist that China and Russia are included as well, at least at the observer or guarantor level. This is not ideology. It is balance. A widened table cannot be widened only with U.S. partners and Gulf pressure tools.

Cooperation without surrender
Ethiopia can coordinate on drought without signing away sovereignty. A fair framework means transparent basin-wide data, trigger-based drought coordination based on real inflows and reservoir levels, no permanent quotas, and no foreign supervision.
Power trade is normal economics. If Egypt and Sudan want electricity, buy it. Sign PPAs. Pay market rates. Integrate grids. Build regional growth.

But nobody supervises Ethiopia’s river like Ethiopia is renting the Abay.

KEEP ACTIVISM OUT OF OUR COUNTER-TERRORISM POLICE!These young officers you are harassing in their places of duty every day, go to great lengths to Protect Kenyans.

They are separated from their loved ones to protect Kenyans from Terrorists and drug smugglers.

Commercial activists, if you can't appreciate their work, keep Activism out of their work stations and respect their work.

On Monday, I will ask President Trump, via X, to help save my life. He offered to help me if I needed it.

I need it.

As many of you know, I have metastasized prostate cancer.

My healthcare provider, Kaiser of Northern California, has approved my application to receive a newly FDA-approved drug called Pluvicto. But they have dropped the ball in scheduling the brief IV to administer it and I can’t seem to fix that.

I am declining fast. I will ask President Trump if he can get Kaiser of Northern California to respond and schedule it for Monday. That will give me a fighting chance to stick around on this planet a little bit longer.

It is not a cure, but it does give good results to many people.
