Make it make sense
That a few heartless cops
Under the instructions of a true heartless boss
Will turn a flag-waving protester into a corpse
And all tax payers pay for it by force?

🚨🗣️New: Thierry Henry reacts to the USA vs Paraguay stoppage for TV commercials:
“I’ve spent my entire life in this beautiful game — as a player at the highest level, as a fan, and now as someone who analyses it every week — and what unfolded during that USA versus Paraguay match left me deeply frustrated. The fourth official standing there on the touchline, arm raised high, instructing the referee to hold the restart… not for any injury, not for tactical reasons, and not even primarily for player hydration in that scorching heat. No. It was because the broadcast team hadn’t finished airing all their commercials. That’s not football. That’s a television show pretending to be a World Cup match.
The beautiful game is being strangled by greed. Players are out there in the heat, ready to restart, momentum building like a storm about to break — and we pause everything so the sponsors can cash in. It’s like stopping a symphony mid-crescendo because the advertisers want their jingle heard. Football didn’t conquer the world by turning into American sports with endless timeouts and ad breaks. We had rhythm, flow, emotion that flowed like a river. Now? It’s dammed up for dollars.
This isn’t about hydration or player welfare anymore — it’s a slippery slope where the soul of the game is sold piece by piece. Fans deserve better. Players deserve better. The referee on that pitch looked like a puppet on strings controlled from some broadcast truck. Enough is enough. We need to protect what made this sport the greatest on Earth before it disappears completely.”
The World Cup should be football’s cathedral. Instead, we’re turning it into a shopping mall with a pitch in the middle.
And here’s the question nobody wants to answer: if the fourth official is waiting for commercials, then who is really running the game? FIFA? The referee? Or the broadcasters?
Because the moment football starts asking advertisers for permission before asking the players, you’ve crossed a line.
The World Cup is supposed to be the showcase of football. Not the showcase of who paid the most for airtime.”
In 1966, All African counties boycotted the World Cup to protest apartheid and how black South Africans were marginalized
In 2026, All African countries supported Mexico against South Africa in protest against their xenophobia

"When he was arrested, reports initially claimed the amount was KSh 225 million, but by 7 p.m. it had dropped to KSh 65 million. Where did the rest go?" ACK Bishop Charles Muturi questions the state following the arrest of Patrick Analo Akivaga, Nairobi County’s Chief Officer for Urban Planning, by EACC.
Some leaders spend years in opposition behaving like intellectual revolutionaries, passionately diagnosing every national problem, attacking government incompetence, and presenting themselves as the enlightened alternative destined to rescue the country.
Suddenly, the same people who once mastered the language of criticism became experts in excuses
Kenyans online have resurfaced a video of Tiaty MP William Kamket mocking and threatening Gen Zs during the protests. This comes just a few hours after the MP lost his son.
