[Piga Firimbi @pigafirimbi]

Dennis Itumbi, Head of Presidential Special Projects in Kenya's State House, shared a photo on X claiming to show world leaders at the 2026 G7 Summit. It contains at least four verifiable red flags.

A fact-check🧵

I don't think most people are fully grasping what happened to Omar Artan. Citizens of African countries cannot travel to the US without first navigating a highly restrictive, discriminatory visa process. Africans face the highest refusal rates globally, not only for US visas +

[BBC Sport @BBCSport]

Somali referee Omar Artan, who was set to be the first from his country to officiate at the World Cup finals, has been denied entry to the United States.

[Ben Jacobs @JacobsBen]

FIFA confirm Omar Abdulkadir Artan can’t officiate at the World Cup after being denied entry into the United States.

The Somali referee is one of Africa’s most respected officials. Somalia's Ministry of Youth and Sports say Artan travelled with a valid US visa.

Yet Somalia is on a travel ban list introduced by President Trump’s administration.

🗣️ “FIFA is not involved in host country immigration processes, including visa adjudications, and has been informed by authorities that Mr Artan's status will not be changed at present.

“In line with previous FIFA events, a host government ultimately determines who receives a visa and who is admitted into their country.”

You can clearly tell he's never been to high school.

Having Mamdani say Wantam is going to be such ammo...

I’ve stopped greeting security guards I know I’ll see again. I’ve learnt that over familiarity breeds billing

Students must understand that there are consequences when they set other human beings on fire.

When I visited Naivasha maximum prison I met the only suspect sentenced to death for the May 24, 1999 arson attack in Nyeri High School that claimed the lives of four prefects.

The student was 33 years old or thereabout when I met him. He was convicted by a juvenile court and later committed to life imprisonment after he turned 18.

The 2001 Kyanguli fire tragedy claimed the lives of 67 students. Two 16-year-olds were arrested and charged with murder. The judge handling the matter resigned in 2006 amid corruption-related allegations. A new judge declared the court matter a mistrial.
I took my time with the file, and it was clear that someone had done everything to make sure the two boys escaped justice. I tracked one down to an office in the CBD. He is somewhere out here.

The July 13, 1991, St Kizito High School massacre remains the most disturbing and heart-wrenching story I have covered.

The boys stormed the girls' dormitory. Reason? They had refused to join them in a strike.

In the ensuing violence, 71 school girls were raped and 19 of them lost their lives, mostly due to suffocation after being tightly packed into a corner during the attack.

Some were arrested and as usual, parents worked the justice system and many escaped the hangman’s noose.

But in a dark twist of events, most of the accused “turned mad”, and others ended up as drunks.
I remember visiting a lady now in her fifties who was still overwhelmed by the events of that night- oh she cried.

I met most of the boys then now men. Drunkards. Wasted.

Let’s see how the tragic Utumishi Fire tragedy plays out but if the prosecution proves those arrested are involved, it will be the end of school and freedom.

I have been to Nyeri, St Kizito, Kyanguli, Endarasha, and Bombolulu Girls' High School.
It's a life-changing experience!

No amount of justice or compensation can bring back the lives lost.

CNN source: Americans arrived in Laikipia Airbase yesterday as plans for US Ebola isolation facility go ahead despite court order.

Current US & Kenya governments - both Trump & Ruto administrations - have a history of ignoring court rulings they don't like

[Mwango Capital @MwangoCapital]

The country failed you:

[USForeignAssist @USForeignAssist]

We are aware of the court action filed in Kenya against the Ebola isolation facility. We are in touch with Kenyan authorities and are optimistic we can resolve objections.

[Edwin Sifuna @edwinsifuna]

The Ruto government is just too much. These guys wake up every single day just to conjure up more ways to cause pain to Kenyans. I know we are expected to keep government in check as opposition but it’s literally impossible to keep up with the breadth and depth of the capacity for evil these guys have. It doesn’t have to be like this bwana. When we tell you just kicking Ruto out solves 80% of our problems you best believe! Just like he did with Haiti and now Ebola, for the right amount, this one can sell us to the devil himself!

[Ory Okolloh-Mwangi @kenyanpundit]

Don’t elect people who fundamentally don’t like you. It permeates everything and cascades all the way down. You can survive a lot of things, but hard to escape a government that thinks you are dispensable.

That’s why police can tell grieving and anxious parents to relax.

[LenaSun @bylenasun]

NEW: US says field hospital for Americans exposed to Ebola will be ready in Kenya on Friday. 50 beds to start. If Americans need more care, they will be transferred to facilities in Europe, not US hospitals. My latest. https://t.co/iGoIEkGd0A
