Saudi Arabia's indefinite visa suspension, announced October 30, is still in place.
Nairobi says the outbreak was imported and contained. If the evidence is on Kenya's side, what exactly does it take to lift a ban?

The UN just voted 164-1 to correct 450 years of cartographic distortion. Africa isn’t the size of Greenland its 14x bigger. Maps shape how the world sees a continent’s weight and place in it. Small edit.….big statement. 🌍 #AfricaMyAfrica

The real question isnt whether more of us get registered it’s whether we show up. I doubt it changes much. My bigger worry IDs used to register ‘ghost voters’ who never touch a ballot exploiting our numbers not empowering us

As a son of NFD scrapping ID vetting in the Northeast won’t automatically mean votes for Ruto. Getting an ID and actually voting are different our region has never had the turnout culture you see in Kikuyu areas, queuing before dawn
Somalia’s constitutional clock just hit midnight. HSM’s mandate expires TODAY — with no election held, opposition in the streets & US-brokered talks that Washington itself says it’s not leading. This isn’t a crisis. It’s a collapse of process. 🧵 #Somalia#HornOfAfrica
No election. No successor. No legitimacy.
Just a man in Villa Somalia who the constitution says should have left yesterday.
Somalia’s crisis has a name and an expiry date —Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, May 15, 2026.
