My dear fellow sons and daughters of Mungu, I promise you that "tourism" is a false god that brings you no prosperity. It a fake pseudo-industry that creates next to no actual wealth for the people and places it exploits, and reduces the value of said people to mere trinkets and experiences.
The worst part about this video is that the only time it shows any black people is only where they are an aesthetic backdrop to the "magical experience" being advertised. The subconscious message being passed is that all of Kenya and its 99% black population are just a temporary experience for rich white people to enjoy.
You can draw a straight line from messaging like this to the existence of large numbers of abandoned mixed race children in Kenya. Everything there - including the buxom damsels - is meant to be a "magical experience" after all, and magical experiences never last long.
For the love of God, leave tourism alone and build factories, power stations, factories and more factories like every other nation that escaped poverty has done. Give Kenyans access to real productive power and wealth, and stop advertising these beautiful African people as aesthetic landmarks and busty bed warmers to muzungus who are having their post-divorce midlife crisis.🤦🏿♂️

Tonight, Kenya unveils its bold new global tourism campaign - Experience Wonder 🇰🇪 at ITB Berlin. More than a campaign, it is an invitation to the world to discover the Origin of Wonder - the Origin of all things. This campaign invites the world to discover a destination where nature, wildlife, culture, and human heritage come together in their most authentic form. From the birthplace of humanity to landscapes and experiences found nowhere else on earth, Kenya offers travellers a chance to reconnect with the true source of wonder. Come curious. Leave in awe. Experience Wonder. #MagicalKenya #ExperienceWonder #OriginOfWonder #VisitKenya #ITBBerlin2026

Ukijua huyu ni Mwanasheria msomi lazima utashangaa kwa anayoyaongea. Au ni mimi tu naliona hivyo? Utawala wa sheria maana yake ni kuwa hamna aliye juu ya sheria. Rahisi mbona?

Spika wa Bunge la Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania, Dk Tulia Ackson amesema ni muhimu wananchi na viongozi waelewe majukumu ya mihimili ya dola na kuheshimu mipaka yake, ili kulinda utawala wa sheria na demokrasia ya kweli. Akizungumza leo Jumapili Juni 15, 2025 Ikulu jijini Dodoma katika hafla ya kumuapisha Jaji Mkuu mpya George Masaju, Dk Tulia amesema baadhi ya watu husherehekea maamuzi ya Mahakama kama ushindi wa bahati nasibu bila kuelewa msingi wa Katiba. “Hata hapa juzi eh, Mahakama imetoa uamuzi ambao nimesikia watu mahali wanasherehekea kama wameshinda rotary (bahati nasibu). Nikashangaa sana nikasema hawa ni wanasheria kweli, wanaijua Katiba? Sababu Katiba ya Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania inatupa fursa kama Bunge kutunga sheria, inaiagiza Mahakama kutafsiri sheria. Sasa Mahakama ikishatafsiri, ni jukumu letu kama Bunge kuchukua hatua.” Kauli hiyo imekuja kufuatia uamuzi wa Mahakama ya Rufaa kubatilisha kifungu cha 4 cha Sheria ya Utekelezaji wa Haki za Msingi na Wajibu (Badea) ya 1994 kwa sababu kinakinzana na Katiba, na hivyo kuruhusu uwezekano wa viongozi kushtakiwa. “Lazima wananchi wafike mahali waelewe kazi ya mihimili hii, na kumuweka Rais mahali anapostahili, kumtofautisha na Jaji Mkuu, Spika, lakini pia kuelewa Rais anavyofanya kazi kama Mkuu wa mhimili mkuu,” amesema Dk Tulia. #mwananchiunews #tunawezeshataifa

Indigenous-led conservation isn’t just ethical—it works, hencw decolonising environmental protection by centering local knowledge, values & stewardship. It’s time to move beyond top-down models & return to what sustains ecosystems🌿 #DecolonizeConservation

India’s colonial conservation uproots Indigenous communities who've coexisted with wildlife for generations, turning forests into constructed ‘wild’ tourist spectacles for profit.
