Africa mourns the loss of the literary giant Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o, whose writing challenged to us to embrace our African heritage and decolonize our minds.
His passing comes soon after we marked Africa Day, and we reflect on a towering legacy that stands as a source of pride for Africans everywhere.
His unwavering commitment to writing in African languages and his contributions to African philosophy have left an indelible mark.
Rest in power, son of the soil.
29 May, @AmnestyKenya@OkoaUchumi_KE@cocacola submitted memos calling for changes to the 2025 Finance Bill. Outrageously, active citizen Rose Njoki @rtunguru has just been arrested for enabling Kenyans to express themselves on the same.
We call on @DCI_Kenya to immediately release her. #FreeRoseNjoki
We're excited to celebrate @pascaliahoganda, selected as a Global Youth Leader for the African Region, representing @AmnestyKenya 🎉 She'll lead on GBV/SGBV prevention, human rights, youth in governance, and digital rights. Let's cheer her on! 💪 #YouthPower
Shujaa Andrew Kelvin Mwawasi's mother weeping at the burial of her son who was killed by killer cops. No one needed to die. No mother needed to weep. The government simply needed to listen. Our fallen comrades will never be forgotten.

Rebecca Cheptegei’s death is a stark reminder that violence against women is a violation of fundamental rights. Women deserve safety, respect, and dignity—no exceptions. #EndFemicide
Meet the champions driving our movement—each one embodies the fight for justice, freedom, equality, and the protection of every human right. Together, we are stronger, bolder, and unstoppable. Join the movement today. https://t.co/QYPCzTGr5m
.@RailaOdinga are you saying these young men were murdered so that you, and your friends could get jobs? They died for a better Kenya, that’s free of bad leadership, corruption, tribalism and hand cheque politics. This is level of betrayal is unforgivable. We shall not forget.
I celebrate @Honeyfarsafi. She is doing an amazing job. We have been forwarding hospital bills and names of families who lost their loved ones to her, and she works tirelessly to ensure bills are paid, and funeral contributions are sent. One woman army serving her nation. Salute!
We must not let the darkness of the last 36 hours obscure the bigger picture. We live in a moral universe that bends towards justice. Violence may howl, but Article 26 will prevail.
