The IISS 2026 illicit gold matrix scores AML compliance in Mali and Sudan. It does not score due-diligence obligations in the UAE and Switzerland, where the gold is cleared. Supply-side analysis. Demand-side impunity.

Kenya is not hosting a US quarantine centre. It is pledging population risk as diplomatic currency. A short analytical note on what the Ministry of Health press release of 27 May actually does, beyond what it says. Five governance indicators to watch in the image below
Pushed the Africa Day dialogue beyond diplomatic constructivism to the hard truth of the extractive economy. Opened a frontier on how structural political economy and South-South integration can solve state fragility without "strings-attached" external aid.

2016 I supervised a mjengo in Githurai. Before koroga, tulikua tunanunua mbao za shutter. So hizi mbao zikiletwa site.. zinapimwa per foot and the measurements are written down.. then inapigwa total measurement time cost per foot.. hiyo time ilikua 21 bob per foot. So recordings look something like [ 7 6 6 8 7 6 8 etc]
Hao watu ni wakora!
I discovered they come with an already written page.. aanaandika measurements wewe ukiconfirm readings za foot but mkimaliza anafungua the already written page.
Kama uli order 2,000 feet.. wanakunyorosha kama 500 feet hapo worth sh 10,500 na hutajua.
Sorry to say walikua wakisii.. my brothers from south nyanza ni wakoraπ€£π€£
Best wishes to Kenya's under-18 football club in the CECAFA Tournament finals against Uganda! May they showcase their skills, unity, and sportsmanship on the field. Go, Team Kenya! π°πͺβ½
Lord, grant me peace and joy that transcends circumstances throughout November 2023. Help me find contentment in your plans, even amidst challenges, and allow your peace to reign in my heart. AMEN!!
