I’m speaking this evening on the role of Universities in shaping the national and regional politics, hosted by @OneYoungAfrica. My colleagues Macharia (@Its_Baba0) and Esther (@EstherG37750109) are part of the team gracing the conversation.
Kindly register and attend!
There are ODM leaders making frantic calls to Edwin Sifuna in an attempt to broker reconciliation but Sifuna remains unreachable.
Sifuna has made his position crystal clear: he will NEVER, and I mean NEVER, associate with, collaborate with, or support any arrangement involving William Ruto.
If you are an ODM leader and you believe the broad-based arrangement is untenable, then the principled thing to do is resign from ODM and join Linda Mwananchi. Let that man remain alone with his family and guns.
Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney#Cameroon https://t.co/bKteFZ3iWE
🎉 We proudly celebrate Youth Leadership through an exemplary milestone!
🌍 @MabileJothdit, our Youth Advisory Board member from South Sudan, has become the country's first Rhodes Scholar 🇸🇸
🎓 This achievement has earned him admission to the University of Oxford’s prestigious Bachelor of Civil Law (BCL), placing him among the world’s leading legal scholars.
💡 His journey is a powerful story of resilience. Graduating with First-Class Honors in Law from the University of Juba, Mabile studied in a context with limited resources—what he calls an “intellectual insurgency” 📚
This is a powerful message to young people everywhere:
👉 You don’t need perfect conditions to achieve excellence
👉 Your environment can shape your strength
🧭 Through his involvement with the AU-EU Youth Voices Lab, Mabile continues to advocate for youth as active architects of systemic change, not passive participants
💬 His message to young people: “Do not let your context limit your ambition. Use it as your greatest asset.”
Youth are not just the future. They are, indeed, the change.

Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are immersed in extreme poverty. Yet, disproportionate wealth remains in the hands of a few. It is an unjust scenario, in the face of which we cannot fail to question ourselves and commit to change things. There is no lack of resources at the root of disparities, but the need to address solvable problems related to a more equitable distribution of wealth, to be achieved with moral sense and honesty.

Senegal’s president casually updates his social profile pictures to include the AFCON trophy behind him.
How do you say “come and get it if you can” in Wolof?
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.
“There is no superior race.”
“There is no chosen people of God.”
“It is neither the United States nor Israel.”
“The chosen people of God is all of humanity.”
President of Colombia - Gustavo Petro
The world, Europe, and Spain have faced this critical moment before. In 2003, a few irresponsible leaders dragged us into an illegal war in the Middle East that brought nothing but insecurity and pain.
Our response then must be our response now:
NO to violations of international law.
NO to the illusion that we can solve the world’s problems with bombs.
NO to repeating the mistakes of the past.
NO TO WAR.

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Among the faithful are men who fulfill what they have pledged to Allah: there are some among them who have fulfilled their pledge, and some of them who still wait, and they have not changed in the least (Holy Quran 33:23).
Bombing Iran in the middle of negotiations, while starving Cuba, while genociding Palestinians, while threatening to invade Greenland… the US and Israel are the single greatest threat to humanity and it’s not even close. We are all forced to live in the nightmare they create.
Following yesterday’s events, i have been overwhelmed by the messages of support and encouragement. I will speak to the press this morning to address some of your concerns. Ahsanteni sana. God bless.
