“The impact of human rights defenders does not die with them. Our struggle outlives any one person. Justice advances because we keep moving, together. Mugambi would wish this. May we fulfill this wish.” Farewell Shujaa Mugambi.

Sheryl Adhiambo was killed by a police officer last night at huruma jonsaga while helping her mother sell fish in their kibanda. We condemn this senseless police violence and demand that the officers responsible be arrested immediately. This is just one of many killings carried out by police how many more lives must be lost before justice is served?

Pleased to welcome Ms. Heather Gerken, the new President of the Ford Foundation, to the Foreign Office. Our discussions centered on strengthening our partnership that has impacted Kenya’s development journey for over sixty years. With @pthigo and senior officials at the Ministry, we briefed President Heather on progress made in negotiating a new host country agreement and other initiatives including the trust summit and our cooperation under the @opengovpart. @ForeignOfficeKE

Ndugu @RolandEbole - asante sana. #MO29

Well put kaka @RolandEbole

Roland Ebole: An unjust wave of terror, abductions, and extrajudicial killings spread in Tanzania ahead of the elections. How do people just disappear without any investigations by the state? #CitizenNewsGang

Roland Ebole: Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda have experienced abductions targeting each other. Civil society organizations have a significant role to play in defending people’s rights #CitizenNewsGang

Roland Ebole: Just like Museveni, Tanzanians supported Suluhu, but it was short-lived Prof. Peter Kagwanja: After this election, if you ask Tanzanians what is ailing them, they will tell you that it’s a Kenyan disease #CitizenNewsGang

I published Something is struggling to be born in Tanzania in August. medium.com/p/something-is… "So, what will happen when millions of Tanzanians will say “enough is enough” and realize that there are not enough police, army to stand up against their malcontent? Will it lead to peaceful protests or violent breakdown of rule of law? And this is where we see and anticipate that something may be struggling to be born in Tanzania." I am glad I wrote this ahead and warned the World. I am very sad that nobody took this seriously!

"My wish for Tanzania is that its leadership respects political dissent and human rights, ends abductions and extrajudicial killings, upholds freedom of expression, association, and movement, and protects democracy." - Roland Ebole, Tanzania/Uganda Regional Researcher at Amnesty International #MorningCafeTV47 #TanzaniaDecides @Fredindimuli @RolandEbole

"Tanzania played a big role in the liberation of many southern African countries, but was there repression? It took the abduction of Boniface Mwangi, Agather Atuhaire, Mwabili Mwagodi, and the deportation of Martha Karua and Willy Mutunga for Kenya to realize that Tanzania is not what it appears to be. There seems to be a trend where East African leaders are planning and plotting how to violate the rights of those who criticize them." - Roland Ebole, Tanzania/Uganda Regional Researcher at Amnesty International #MorningCafeTV47 #TanzaniaDecides @Fredindimuli @RolandEbole

"Tanzanians are facing repression on steroids. The state is accused of abducting its own citizens and jailing the opposition leader. Protests at this scale were anticipated, and even Kenyans are shocked by the bravery of Tanzanians." - Roland Ebole, Tanzania/Uganda Regional Researcher at Amnesty International #MorningCafeTV47 #TanzaniaDecides @Fredindimuli @RolandEbole

Tanzania Decides "We expected the internet shutdown, as this was not the first time. It is not unusual for states that use authoritarian practices to cut off communications around election periods—this also happens in Uganda. What was unimaginable, however, was the scale of the protests. This happened because tensions had been building up and were finally released."- Roland Ebole, Tanzania/Uganda Regional Researcher at Amnesty International #MorningCafeTV47 #TanzaniaDecides @Fredindimuli @RolandEbole

Kenyans have today held a demonstration at the Ugandan Embassy and Minsitry of foreign affairs in Nairobi demanding for Bob Njagi and Nicholas Oyoo #FreeBobNjagi #FreeNicholasOyoo #StopAbductionsEA

Roland Ebole: A group of 50 people tried to access court in Dar es Salaam in April and 23 of them were arbitrarily arrested, taken to a forest, tortured and left there… The world needs to do something about Tanzania or the situation will further deteriorate #CitizenDayBreak

Roland Ebole: Cross-border repression is taking place as abductions continue to occur in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, yet the presidents of these countries have remained silent on the matter #CitizenDayBreak
