NAIROBI, KENYA.

Rais wa Kenya William Ruto amemshutumu rais mstaafu Uhuru Kenyatta kwa kumsaliti katika uchaguzi mkuu wa mwaka 2022 licha ya kumuunga mkono katika chaguzi za 2013 na 2017.

We call on the Ethiopian authorities to respect press freedom, uphold due process and ensure that journalists can carry out their professional duties without fear of retaliation. Allowing such arrests to go unanswered risks creating a climate of fear and self-censorship, with serious consequences for accountability, transparency and democracy.

We stand in solidarity with Samuel Getachew, Amanuel Gebremedhin Birhane and all our colleagues who continue to report truth about the conflict in Ethiopia’s Tigray region, often at great personal risk and under increasingly dangerous conditions.

[The Foreign Press Association, Africa(FPAA). @FPA_Africa]

OUR STATEMENT.

The Foreign Press Association, Africa (FPAA) strongly condemns the arrest and detention of our colleague, Samuel Getachew, alongside Amanuel Gebremedhin Birhane, an Associated Press journalist and videographer, by Ethiopian authorities on Friday, 2 October.

@GetachewSS So sorry my brother. @FPA_Africa will be writing to Ethiopian authorities. This intimidation has to be called out.

[Kennedy Wandera @KennedyWandera_]

@RobFinnertyUSA says sorry.

[Rob Finnerty @RobFinnertyUSA]

I want to offer an apology to the people of Nairobi, Kenya. The passion you have your city and homeland is amazing… We all make mistakes. I misspoke, and I am sorry to anyone I have offended.🙌

[Kennedy Wandera @KennedyWandera_]

Hey @RobFinnertyUSA, you are a news anchor. This commentary is disappointing. You can always criticise New York's filth on its own merit without dragging Nairobi into it. Using Nairobi as a punchline is cheap, unprofessional and beneath someone in your position @NEWSMAX.
None of your interviewees are from the Kenyan capital. So what's the basis for your remarks?
If you have issues with Mayor Zohran Mamdani, seek answers from him. Kenya and Uganda have nothing to do with it.

When you finally make it to Nairobi, please let's grab some Ketepa tea☕️.

See her, Ayra Starr, she is a star! Yes, "Heaven Baby".

[Kennedy Wandera @KennedyWandera_]

@FabrizioRomano Shameful. We don't deserve this at all.

[Kennedy Wandera @KennedyWandera_]

@JimNtare @ManUtd I feel sorry for our fans. We fill up the Old Trafford every weekend only to end up with spineless and embarrassing show like this! Carrick has to show his credentials or he will be kicked out very soon.

[Kennedy Wandera @KennedyWandera_]

Shambolic. Spineless. Embarrassing. This is NOT the Manchester United way. Every time we look like we are on course to take all 3 points, we switch off and settle for a draw even with one-man numerical advantage on the pitch. Disappointing. Carrick, please, this is complacency 👎

[Manchester United @ManUtd]

United have to settle for a point.

[Kennedy Wandera @KennedyWandera_]

You must fight and win this match. We cannot go on like this. Fight, and fight hard.

[Manchester United @ManUtd]

Tottenham equalise in injury time, 1-1.

[Kennedy Wandera @KennedyWandera_]

Yes, #Yanited, ⚽ Brian Mbumoooo🔥🔥. Get a second now!

[Manchester United @ManUtd]

MBEUMOOOOOOOOOO

[Kennedy Wandera @KennedyWandera_]

Manchester United grow nerves and show hunger. The boos at Old Trafford are justified. We cannot continue playing like this and getting schooled by Spurs. Second half, we must grow bolder and show intent. Come on #Yanited, 3 points, Let's do this💪

[Manchester United @ManUtd]

⏸️ Level at half-time.

[Kennedy Wandera @KennedyWandera_]

@ManUtd Come on #Yanited, please play some good football. We are losing in every aspect. We are at Old Trafford please!

ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA.

Ethiopia imesema haina chaguo jingine isipokuwa kujilinda baada ya kile ilichokitaja kuwa ni uvamizi mkubwa wa Eritrea.

Nchi hizo mbili zimekuwa zikishutumiana kufuatia kuingia kwa wanajeshi wa Eritrea katika eneo la Ethiopia Tigray.

Nini kinachochea mzozo mpya wa Tigray nchini Ethiopia?

Kwa nini serikali ya Waziri Mkuu Abiy Ahmed inazituhumu Eritrea, Misri na Sudan kuunga mkono makundi ya waasi?

South Africa's Navi Pillay, a former UN human rights chief and judge at the International Court of Justice, has won the Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts to promote peace and international law.

The 85-year-old, who was born in Durban, South Africa, to a family of Indian Tamil origin, has served on several international courts, including the International Criminal Court and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda.

Pillay chaired a UN commission that drafted a report that concluded Israel had committed genocide in Gaza, a finding that has drawn international attention and debate.
