Brings to mind that statement of Ibn Al-Qayyim wherein he says,

"ما أغلق الله على عبدٍ بابًا بحكمته، إلَّا فتح له بابين برحمته "

“Allah does not close a door on a slave out of His wisdom except that He opens for him two doors out of His mercy.”

Northern Frontier District: Once it was known as "marginalised region" alone.

Finally, we are starting to see a government trying to unlock its potential.

The next government might again start to deprive it of investment.

This cycle is vicious and must end.

You will think you know what grief is, until the grief is yours, until it is a grief so personal it changes the trajectory of your entire life.

My beloved brother,

There is a profound irony in Emmanuel Macron rebranding as a “Pan-Africanist” in Nairobi. True Pan-Africanism is about dignity, yet this is the same leader who, in November 2017 at the University of Ouagadougou, publicly humiliated President Kaboré by jokingly telling him to “fix the air conditioning.” You do not get to lecture on “partnership” when your default is colonial condescension and “civilizational” insults regarding African fertility.

2. The Sahel Eviction & Financial Shackles
The reality of May 2026 is that Macron is only in Kenya because he was shown the door elsewhere. Between 2022 and 2024, Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger evicted French troops (Operation Barkhane) for prioritizing extraction over security. For decades, the CFA Franc system forced African nations to deposit 50% of their reserves in the French Treasury—a colonial tax in a 21st-century wrapper. France did not “withdraw” from the Sahel; it was defeated by the very African agency it claims to support.

3. The Gaza Hypocrisy
While Macron smiles for cameras in Kenya, he has spent months providing diplomatic cover and support for Israel’s actions in Palestine, even as the Global South demands justice and an end to the occupation. You cannot claim to be a friend of the oppressed in Africa while standing on the wrong side of history in Gaza. True Pan-Africanism is rooted in global liberation, not selective morality.

4. Refusing the Propaganda
The 11 new deals signed here—from the Nairobi railway to fiber optics—are not “gifts”; they are a desperate pivot to East Africa after losing the West. We must not be the PR team that clears his image. I would rather support my African brothers in the Sahel who had the courage to kick him out than sit in a chair and validate a leader who views our continent as his backup plan. Africa needs allies, not supervisors.

The doctors and health professionals are speaking up on the health related matters in Kenya and it’s nothing short of an apocalypse.

The health sector needs to be reigned in and rogue players ostracized. Health is a basic need and must be addressed as such

Hello Lola, I am a Muslim, and our spiritual tradition has a very deep approach to raising children. I want to share some tips from our scholars that will be beneficial to you regardless of your faith.

First of all, our theology teaches the concept of Fitrah. This means that every child is born with a pure heart. At six years old, she is not a criminal mastermind. She does not have a wicked soul.

If she doesn’t have all these, then what is happening? The truth is that she is just lacking impulse control and testing boundaries. By this, if you look at her as a manipulator, you will fight her. However, if you look at her as a pure soul making mistakes, you will be able to guide her.

Secondly, for every problem anyone faces today, it has been solved in history. The only problem is how to locate them.

A classical scholar named Al-Ghazali wrote about child psychology over 900 years ago in his famous book “Ihya Ulum al-Din.” In his section on disciplining children, he gave a practical rule I want you to adopt going forward.

He advised that parents should never push a child into a corner where they are forced to lie. When you ask a question you already know the answer to, her survival instinct kicks in. She cries and she lies to defend herself because she is scared of you. Stop interrogating her. Just look at her and state the fact. Say, I know you took this, and we are going to return it right now.

Again, another scholar and sociologist Ibn Khaldun addressed this exact behavior in his masterpiece titled: “Al-Muqaddimah.” He warned that when a child is raised with harsh punishment, they learn deceit, trickery, and lying to protect themselves. This is why she is covering her tracks and crying to manipulate you. The fear of a harsh reaction is making her a better liar.

Lola, do not attach a label to her. Do not ever call her a thief. If you attack her identity instead of her action, she will internalize it and grow into that dark label. Tell her the action is wrong but protect her dignity.

Make her return the item. Do not fall for the tears. Hold her hand, walk her back to wherever she took it from, and make her hand it back and apologize. The discomfort of returning a stolen item teaches a much better lesson than beating her will ever do.

Finally, I don’t know if you are a Muslim, but never underestimate the power of your own words. In our faith, we believe the prayer of a parent for a child goes straight to God without any barrier. Pray over her. Pray for her heart to be content and for her character to be straight.

Keep doing this consistently and the habit will break.

Allah knows best.

[Dr. Omar Suleiman @omarsuleiman]

O Allah,

Shatter the oppressors, restrain them, and make of them a warning to those who seek to follow their ways.

Protect the innocent wherever they are. Shield the vulnerable from every harm. Bring swift justice to those who spread it throughout the earth.

Our Lord, the corruption has been laid bare for all to see. Now let us see the corrupt stripped of their power in every way, and do not let us be counted among them in any way.

Ameen
