I had a wonderful time training children to use their gifts to tell stories, as the BBC storytelling Ambassador.

@_shakenya needs to disbanded urgently. Kenyans deserve so much better, and that institution, despite taking so much from us, doesn’t even try.

You’ve successfully created a State of fear @WilliamsRuto. But the more people fear the braver they become.

THREAD: I have spent months investigating the foreign mercenaries in DR Congo. I met some of them in Romania & Goma. One Romanian mercenary’s salary equaled that of 50 Congolese soldiers. The government says they are just 'instructors' but this is not entirely true @BBCAfrica.

As northern Gaza hurtled toward famine earlier this year, UN agencies partnered with local communities to deliver aid to the north of Gaza. For a few days the plan worked before a series of Israeli strikes brought it crashing down. This is the untold story: ⬇️

[The New Humanitarian @newhumanitarian]

Save the Children International is preparing for mass layoffs at its London headquarters and five regional offices amid a major restructuring aimed at addressing a projected budget shortfall:

[FERDINAND OMONDI @FerdyOmondi]

On August 10, 2018, police killed 6-month-old baby Pendo.

Two years later, politicians brought Pendo's parents to Bomas as a symbol of reconciliation to support the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI).

"Let my baby's blood be the last to be spilled," said his father.

In 2024, at least 40 people have been killed, and once again, the deaths are attributed to the police.

Yet again, politicians are advocating for dialogue as a solution.

Dialogue without justice is meaningless.

We are just finding out that our president lives in the stone age. He relies entirely on messengers to tell him what the people want.
To be a Kenyan is to be taken for a fool.

[TheStarKenya @TheStarKenya]

President William Ruto has declined to sign the Finance Bill, 2024.

State House sources told the Star that the Bill will be sent back to Parliament before they break for recess today.

[Namukabo Werungah @namukabo]

The finance bill has unsurprisingly passed, but millions of Kenyans have come out today, bravely faced their oppressors and called them out for who they truly are. #RejectFinanceBill2024
