Raila Odinga was a true champion of democracy. A child of independence, he endured decades of struggle and sacrifice for the broader cause of freedom and self-governance in Kenya. Time and again, I personally saw him put the interests of his country ahead of his own ambitions. Like few other leaders anywhere, he was willing to choose the path of peaceful reconciliation without compromising his core values. Through his life, Raila Odinga set an example not just for Kenyans, but across Africa and around the world. I know he will be missed. Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to his family and to the people of Kenya.

She’s the first graduate and the first to buy a car in the family. Magogo’s heart is full of pride today.

Nobody wanted to go with this girl to the high school dance, but the team captain invited her to go with him.

Little children in tears as an artillery strike killed their mother. This is Sudan 🇸🇩 and there is an ongoing genocide sponsored by the UAE.

Akon’s wife, Tomeka Thiam, filed a divorce to part ways after 29 years of marriage and demanded €100m as compensation.

The court handling the case only found $10k in Akon’s account, as the singer’s wealth is sitting comfortably in his mother’s account.
