Burkina Faso has undertaken a drastic
Transformation of its educational system and text books.
Text book are no longer referring to the imperialist that entered the shores of Africa as explorers, but rather as invaders.
Calling things their proper names, is a significant necessary step in the decolonization process, and Burkina Faso is taking that step with pride and confidence.
Ibrahim Traore explaining the modus operandi of imperialism to Burkinabe.
He does not just explain the actions of the Christian missionaries, but the Islamic missionaries aswell.
Traore is indeed the real deal.
The RSF is welcome in Kenya, but not the Burundian street vendor. A militia that has killed and discriminated on the basis of ones ethnicity and race has the diplomatic red carpet rolled out for its leaders. Yet the scapegoat for a struggling economy is the Burundian street vendor.
Every season ends.
The difficult one you are in will end.
The good one you are in will also end.
Endure the hard ones without despair.
Appreciate the good ones without clinging.
That is wisdom.
Former Chief Justice David Maraga has independently released the full and unedited Police Reforms Taskforce report, doing so after President Ruto failed to publish it within a 7-day ultimatum.
Maraga dedicated the document to victims of police abductions and enforced disappearances.
The scathing report declares that the National Police Service remains captive to political interference and demands immediate, sweeping changes.
Key recommendations include restoring competitive recruitment for top police chiefs, repealing retrogressive laws, and removing senior officials who have passed their mandatory retirement age.
Maraga warned that delaying these reforms has already fueled historic levels of police brutality and national instability.
I asked someone what is the difference between Ruto's Regime and Uhuru's Regime.
She said:
“If I want to go to Mombasa and use the SGR, I’m grateful to Uhuru.
When I use the Nairobi Expressway and see how quickly I get to my destination without sitting in tiresome traffic, I say, ‘God bless Uhuru.’
Then I asked, “What about Ruto?”
She paused and said:
“Every month, I look at my payslip and see money being deducted for this thing called Affordable Housing. I resent Ruto. Those houses are not even affordable to the poor. They will mostly be bought by the rich. My money is being used to benefit people who are already better off.
And whenever I walk past Parliament, I get a painful déjà vu. I remember how young people’s lives were lost, and my heart skips a beat.
That is why, when the time comes, I must make the right decision.”
Edwin Sifuna: When we were kicking out Moi, why were we saying he must go? It is not because he did not build stadiums; Moi built Kasarani and Nyayo Stadium, and after that, no one has ever built. This Talanta is going to be the next one. There is a life we used to live that was unacceptable to us, and as measured against the 6 values highlighted in the preamble of the constitution: human rights, democracy, rule of law, social justice, equity, and equality. Our lives have to be lived within a context of democratic ideals #CitizenExplainer
KDW 600Q. We know where this vehicle spent the night before the Ol Kalou by-election.
We know the specific room the occupants slept in.
We have images of the occupants, and I believe they can help answer serious questions about who hired them & what they were sent to do?
To my luo brother & 2 Nubian from Nairobi: I saw you return to this vehicle after residents confronted your group.
Ask yourself one question: if you had lost your life that day, would those who brought you there publicly acknowledge you?
The Inspector General and the @DCI_Kenya owe Kenyans answers.
The reports and footage that have emerged deserve a clear, transparent & independent scrutiny.
Now I can tell without fear of contradiction that officers give civilians gun in state sponsored terror against opposition leaders & their supporters
Those responsible should be held accountable regardless of rank or office.
Democracy survives when the truth is not buried.
The Cs @InteriorKE & the inept, compromised & castrated IG are burrying the truth.
The hoodied goons receive orders directly from the president
They are even assulting uniform police & journalists
This is what the state does not want you to see
What we are seeing now is what was predicted in the Waki Commission Report, the Kriegler Commission Report, the Kofi Annan Mediation — Kenya National Dialogue and Reconciliation (KNDR, 2008–2013) and the TJRC Report (2008–2013). We must stop this before it gets out of hand
Kenyans please gather here and listen to this.
NTSA Director General Nashon Kondiwa: We are using KCB mode of payment to an Individual account (Catherine Jerono Tomno) to protect Kenyans from Fraud in Ecitizen.
Digest that for a second.
So the Ruto administration, which ordered every government institution to have all fees processed through eCitizen, is telling Kenyans that the corruption on eCitizen is too much and because we can't deal with it, you have to pay NTSA fines to a personal account at KCB bank?!
Basically, this woman can use that money for whatever she pleases. She can get a massive loan based on the huge transactions coming in, earn massive interest on the monies and do whatever she pleases with the huge deposits flowing in daily.
Mind you, the Daily Nation recently exposed the dealings of the Ruto family who are directly involved in the NTSA smart driving license deal worth Ksh45 billion. Connect the dots.
These guys are so corrupt and incompetent, they are sinking our country into an abyss that will take us decades to climb out of.

“I don't want you telling me to go back to Africa, unless you going back where you come from. I got a note one day telling me to go back to Africa and ever since that time-it's been three times a week I say it when I am in a white audience-I say, 'We'll make a deal. After you send all the Koreans back to Korea, the Chinese back to China, the Jewish people back to Jerusalem, and you give the Indians their land back and you get on the Mayflower from which you come'..We all here on borrowed land. We have to fiqure out how we're going to make things right for all the people of this country.”
