I’ve signed a petition calling for accountability over the humiliation of a Grade 10 student in the Kenyan Senate. No child should ever be degraded in public institutions. Join me in demanding action and stronger protections for children’s dignity: https://t.co/K7a8q1BgOf
The Kenyan elite is not a monolith, but a class that has successfully consolidated its interests and identified its own survival as the primary goal. @WMutunga states that, while there is a serious division within their ranks, often manifesting as political theatre, this friction is rarely about the public good. Instead, it is a strategic management of power that keeps the masses distracted. How can we disrupt this cycle and reclaim our collective agency?

Pheroze Nowrojee. Lawyer, writer, poet. A life defined by principle and service. He never sought recognition. In the year since his passing, it has found him. Nairobi got this right. A name that will be read, repeated, and remembered. A beautiful tribute to a truly wonderful human being
Honored to witness Galana Road become Pheroze Nowrojee Road,a tribute to a lifelong defender of justice, human rights, and the rule of law. May his legacy continue to inspire courage and accountability in our society.

Memory and the struggle of not forgetting our heroes and also those who betrayed them. Pheroze Nowrojee is among those who stood for truth and justice and in this way, his memory remains an inspiration for generations. Long live his undying and unwavering spirit of commitment.
Kenya’s baronial class has held the reins of power since independence, fueling inequality and blocking true progress. @WMutunga reminds us that the 2010 constitution promised transformation, yet was later handed to traffickers of power. Now, Gen Z and Millennials are demanding the change that was promised—crafting their struggles from the very heart of the constitution. How do we ensure Kenyans lead the charge for a more just, inclusive society?

Born #OnThisDay in 1933, Nina Simone would have turned 93 today. The singer, pianist and uncompromising civil rights activist gave voice to Black resistance with songs like Mississippi Goddam. Her music remains a powerful anthem against racism and injustice.
This is why liberals came to hate her and why they had to destroy her chance to become South African president. We all fought hard for South African liberation which was going to be key to the liberation of the continent only to be betrayed by the petit-bourgeois misleaders.
How Europe Underdeveloped Africa by Walter Rodney
As Rodney describes, African trade was central to its growth, most importantly through the slave trade from approximately 1445 to 1870, transforming Africa into a source of human raw material for the new colonies in North America and the Caribbean.
This read is a masterwork of political economy, detailing the impact of slavery and colonialism on the history of international capitalism. In this classic book, Rodney makes the unflinching case that African maldevelopment is not a natural feature of geography, but a direct product of imperial extraction from the continent, a practice that continues up into the present.
Meticulously researched, How Europe Underdeveloped Africa remains an unshakably relevant study of the so-called “great divergence” between Africa and Europe, just as it remains a prescient resource for grasping the the multiplication of global inequality today.
