Justice for Sheryl Adhiambo! This awful sentence really says it all about policing in Kenya. “Security agencies later moved in to restore calm and shot in the air to be able to remove the body from the scene.” Restore. Calm.

BBC Global News podcast just used the phrase “ethnic rebels” and it made me wonder if they think that other rebels don’t have an ethnicity?

Abolish ICE is not enough. It's not about training -- Ross who killed Renee Good was a TRAINER. It's not about body cams -- we saw Alex Pretti killed with our own eyes. We have to abolish the idea that violence ever made us safer, before it's too late. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Say what you will about the USSR, but at least it's late imperial leaders had the class to die by age 75

So let’s get this right nasty racist Robert Jenrick has left the nasty racist Tories to join nasty racist Reform and the nasty racist Labour party put out a statement about how he’d opened the borders. Gotta love UK politics makes you feel right at home here!

My thoughts are with all Ugandans today on election day. May there be freedom and justice soon.

How are Kenya, Romania and South Africa involved in sending Palestinians abroad through shadowy channels? Kenya, once again, like so often in the past, acts as transit hub for questionably voluntary journeys with unknown destinations.

Amidst death, destruction and injury brought upon her own citizens, she declares victory by 98%. The Govt is untenable.

From speaking to family and friends the situation is unprecedented. The death toll is unverified but seems plausible.

Tanzania is effectively in a state of emergency right now with curfews, stay-at-home orders and government repression going off the charts in the wake of the one-party election. My thoughts are with family, friends and all wananchi!❤️🙏

Thinking of my Tanzanian family, friends and all wananchi on this election day. Tuko pamoja! May better days be ahead and justice prevail…one day.

Academic Publishers are like: “As a contributing author you get a $250 book allowance” Me [naively]: “Ok, that should be enough.” The price of the book you are contributing to: $415 🤡🤡🤡💀💀💀

The end of a giant of Kenyan politics—a failed legacy of a man who was long out of touch with many wananchi.

Blair heading a military occupation nested within an existing long standing occupation. What could go possibly go wrong?

Just realised my review of Anooradha Iyer Siddiqi’s book “Architecture of Migration” is out now in the Journal of Modern African Studies (JMAS).

“If he is extradited, it is believed it will be the first time a current or former British soldier has ever been extradited to another country to face trial for the murder of a civilian.”

Baerbock must go!

New article out by my brilliant friend Mohamed Hassan Mohamud on budget cuts and the crisis of accountability in aid. “Budget cuts are not a rupture to an otherwise fair system: they are the latest manifestation of a model of governance that has always sidelined the people it claims to serve.”

When they started using the term “differentiated assistance model” a while back, it was clear to many of us that this just meant institutionalising aid cuts—more displacement, police repression and impoverishment is afoot in Kakuma.

If he had written with his own imagination instead of relying on AI he would have known that this is also a title of a novel by @nnedi.bsky.social with only one word changed.
