Are most Kenyans sleeper agents or what's happening? A road side declaration makes people Xenophobic just like that?
Hivi ndio tutarudishwa 2007 if we are not careful.

[SotM Africa 2026 @sotmafrica]

Behind every map is a PERSON.
Behind every dataset is a COMMUNITY.

...and behind every great conference is a FAMILY of people passionate about making the world more accessible through open mapping. 🌍

This is the State of the Map Africa!

North Eastern and the North in general are places to go on a need basis. Several cool places to visit though. All done by road.

@skirui_dean I don't know about you, but I'd really want to be a dollar billionaire 😂

[Gitonga Gikombo @gitongagikombo]

@skirui_dean Elon musk? I'm just guessing here😂

[Gitonga Gikombo @gitongagikombo]

@Kaluluu It's always an adventure out there. Kenya is huuge.

[Gitonga Gikombo @gitongagikombo]

@Kaluluu Haha yes. No one in their sane mind can go to El Wak willingly ukijua Somalia is just 6 kms away.

WORLD RECORD

Sebastian Sawe becomes the first-ever person to run a sub-two hour marathon in a race as he wins the 2026 London Marathon ‼️

The Kenyan runs a phenomenal time of 1:59:30, smashing his previous personal best of 2:02.05 🇰🇪

Artemis II launches today so I've mapped out the detailed flight path for those interested

NASA won’t show you this level of detail

[Cerebral Assassin @xysist]

Pale ISK kuna 36 engineer surveyors and only 300 land surveyors. Safe to say I have only met one registered land surveyor and I have practised 10 + years. The rest nawaonanga tu kwa stamp.

Why is it so hard to register as a surveyor my surveyor buddies?

Five years ago, the idea that high resolution SAR would be used by journalists to do independent verification of unfolding major events was a pipe dream. Now it's just another Friday.

I don't care how many Harvard, Cambridge, Stanford, Oxford and Chatham House lectures you've attended;

Business in Africa cannot grow significantly, without reform in governance. You can't write Government out of China's growth story, and if you think you can "create Africa's Amazon/Alibaba" without logistics (roads, railways ports) or "Africa's leading AI Data Centers" without electricity, I am here to tell you that you are wasting your time.

We shy away from addressing governance, because it is risky, we could die in the process of challenging it - and also because many of us benefit from the existing corrupt, directionless order.

@ugh_its_sheilla As a kid who used to get into a lot of trouble because of excessive yawning, trust me, it's not all on you. It is a physiological process out of our control.

[Mack @whatMackSays]

I saw this tweet yesterday and was shocked tbh.
It’s crazy how brazenly Kenyans have been discussing and sharing tips on Student Fraud, Ticket Scams, Credit Card fraud, Slip scams, Marketing Contact scams (kuuza hewa) etc
This is normalization of fraud and its kinda dangerous
