Cycles of floods continue to affect Nairobi's informal settlements—a consequence of climate change. But even when the waters recede, the threats faced by women in these neighborhoods do not.

I sat down with Bobi Wine at his home last month to talk about his campaign for president, the future of Uganda, and what it means to challenge a 40-year incumbent.
The election is just days away, so check out my latest for the @Telegraph magazine here: https://t.co/WW4mp1mIUy

"But by the end of every day, you want to go back. Because as you cry for the losses, you’re seeing how much inspiration is manifested before your own eyes. And that makes everything worth it.”

Thank you very much, @Telegraph
for amplifying our voice.

Big thanks to the team at @AJEnglish for seeing this through, especially @tracymoran with a solid edit and @SumayyaIsmail @evakillen for taking on the project. And of course, thanks to @pulitzercenter for the funding to make it all happen.

A bit delayed—much like the TAZARA itself—but we're sliding into the last week of 2025 with a long feature on the aging Tanzania-Zambia railway. China's investing in its repair to better move copper overseas, but the people are always the real story...

Jaba juice is taking Kenya by storm—I talked to folks involved in the industry to find out more about the stimulant drink beloved by expats and locals alike.

Big thanks to @RealDavidRocks for taking this story on and for a great edit

Zambia is banking on a $1.4B China-backed upgrade to the Tazara railway to boost copper exports and regional trade. @paulstremple traveled on the Tazara railway from Tanzania into Zambia and brings us this analysis. https://t.co/FnkOLG9Vl5

[Paul Stremple @paulstremple]

Traveled on the Tazara railway from Tanzania into Zambia, then roamed the copper belt learning about investment, infrastructure, and the future of Zambian mining for @ChinaGSProject. Check out my latest: https://t.co/PduldcF7J0

Odds and ends from last week's work with de Volkskrant: a Maasai homestead and a youth leader in Kajiado, pomp and circumstance at State House, flowers and Dutch tourists with the king in Naivasha.

Not a bad way to spend a few days, now back on the grind.

[Paul Stremple @paulstremple]

Scored an international cover shooting for de Volkskrant, covering the Dutch royal visit to Kenya—on newsstands now in the Netherlands.

Super fun to work with @joostbastmeijer, who wrote a great piece—check it out!

Train Dreams—rode the TAZARA railway from Dar es Salaam to Mbeya, jumped off for a couple days then back on again, from Tunduma and Nakonde at the border to Serenje, Zambia.

Met some good folks, had some good times.

Stories to come, a couple frames in the meantime
