"We hear you, we see you, we love you, and we haven’t forgotten you." Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez has thanked Layan Al Quqa, a young Palestinian artist in Gaza, for painting a mural celebrating the friendship between Spain and Palestine.

The young people who took to the streets in 2024 did not protest because they were bored. They protested because they could see clearly what their elders had chosen to ignore. I stand with that clarity. #Ukombozi

On 20 March 2003, the United States, backed by Britain and a coalition of allies, invaded Iraq. They claimed that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction and posed an imminent threat to the world. What followed was "Shock and Awe" — a relentless bombing campaign that lit up Baghdad's skies. Civilians were caught in the crossfire. Homes, hospitals, schools, and vital infrastructure were damaged or destroyed. Families fled, children were buried, and millions of Iraqis saw their country descend into chaos — to this day. On 13 December 2003, Saddam Hussein was captured by US forces near Tikrit after months in hiding. On 19 October 2005, his trial begun before the Iraqi High Tribunal inside Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone. Despite common belief, Saddam was not tried by the International Criminal Court. On 5 November 2006, Saddam is convicted of crimes against humanity for the 1982 Dujail killings and sentenced to death. He was executed on 30 December 2006 by hanging in Baghdad. No weapons of mass destruction were ever found in Iraq — even after a 20 year terror campaign by the US and her allies.

The three men are believed to have been taken by individuals suspected to be police officers, yet authorities have not disclosed their whereabouts. Their disappearance has left mothers, wives, and children in deep anguish, moving from police stations to courts, human rights offices, and political leaders in a desperate quest for truth. Every day of silence deepens their pain and raises fears of enforced disappearance. Families cannot mourn or move on without knowing whether their loved ones are alive or dead. The Constitution guarantees dignity, liberty, and protection from arbitrary detention, yet these rights appear violated. The families are demanding urgent disclosure, accountability, and independent investigation. Their plea is simple: tell us where our sons are and bring justice now, without further delay, please act urgently. Read More 👇🏿 👇🏿 👇🏿 socialjusticecentrewg.org/the-endless-ag…

Palestinians are the only people who have no right of self-defence. When they defend themselves from invasions & attacks by IDF & settler terrorists who want to dispossess them, they are called TERRORISTS! But when they are killed, the Israeli attackers are never called terrorists. History shows that freedom maybe delayed but eventually, it arrives even against a most powerful adversary. Israel needs to know establishment of a sovereign Palestinian State is inevitable.

American actor Mark Ruffalo has strongly criticised Isr*eli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after the latter welcomed the dismissal of International Criminal Court (ICC) Prosecutor Karim Khan.

And no “journalist” in the “West” gives a fuck.

You will Never. 💯

On the issue of IDs, looking back, the first person or people who spoke out against FGM, for sure, they were attacked, ridiculed and abused by their communities and called all sorts of names. However, because of them, today everyone agrees that FGM is wrong and the practice thankfully is being eradicated. A normal Kenyan need not be treated as a criminal and forced to prove his citizenship hundreds of kilometers inside the Kenyan borders. That should be done at the border points. There is no law in Kenya that demands a person carry his national ID all the time. What if it just got lost, misplaced or someone simply forgot to carry it? Does that make you a criminal? Harassing every sick person, old people, business men and pregnant women to prove their citizenship while traveling hundreds of kilometers within their country does not make sense. It is an outdated security practice that simply antagonizes communities and wastes time and manpower of our security agencies. It is also prone to abuse and extortion. Instead of wasting money in funding politicians’ lavish lifestyles or increasing the state house budget, public funds should be given to security personnel so that they can use modern ways of detecting and stopping crime. For instance, metal detectors to detect weapons and sniffer dogs to detect drugs would make more sense than asking for IDs. Having an ID in itself does not mean the individual is not a criminal. If anything, countless reports have shown that IDs are being issued carelessly out there. Like decades ago with FGM, we must today also challenge systems that are not anchored in law and violate the rights of the people. People’s freedoms and liberties must be jealously guarded against abuse in security operations. In 1775, Benjamin Franklin said, “a society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both”.

Kenya’s top wine connoisseur leading us through how to savour the best.

270+ journalists killed in Gaza. More than WWI and WWII combined. Backed by U.S. weapons. Western media: silent. What if North Korea had killed 270 journalists? What if Cuba did? The media would be screaming. But when Israel does it? Silence. The silence tells you everything. Imperialism doesn’t need a uniform. It needs a compliant press.

NO,NO, NO Mr. so called President!!! You don’t get to talk about threats when your administration has spent the last few years becoming the biggest threat to ordinary Kenyans. And this habit of calling everyone who disagrees with you “anti-development” has to stop. Kenyans have every right to question you. That’s not being against progress. That’s holding the people in power accountable. You keep asking Kenyans to rally behind your government. For what exactly? To celebrate more taxes? More borrowing? More broken promises? Support is earned, Mr. President. It isn’t demanded. So please stop with this nonsense of blaming the opposition every time things aren’t working. You asked Kenyans to trust you with the country. The least you can do is take responsibility for what has happened under your watch. The opposition is not responsible for the state of our economy. You are. You’ve been in charge. If businesses are struggling, if taxes have become unbearable, if millions of Kenyans are working harder than ever but getting nowhere, that’s YOUR RECORD, not theirs. WANTAM!!

Happy Birthday to me. Thank you all for your love and support. ❤️🥳

@WMutunga Why Ordinary Citizens Must Speak Against Injustice...

@KIRIROBERT @husskhalid @VOCALAfrica_ @citizentvkenya @KTNNewsKE @NTVnewsroom @NationAfrica @StandardKenya @TheStarKenya @Eastleighvoice @thekenyatimes Kasia wa Mbindi. Hussein is a lawyer. Lawyers should be the first ones to stand for their rights. If they don’t will the citizens do it? I beg you to read these three articles of the Constitution: 29,39, 238(2). PLEASE. Those rights should never be curtailed by anyone.

@husskhalid @VOCALAfrica_ @WMutunga @citizentvkenya @KTNNewsKE @NTVnewsroom @NationAfrica @StandardKenya @TheStarKenya @Eastleighvoice @thekenyatimes Sasa Khalid hapa nayo ulienda saana KDF wanakuaga smart sana Sio Kama Wale boiz wa Traffic wa kuokotaga soo soo… Cooperate Hio Zone ni bandit ridden buana

While driving from Lamu, I was stopped by KDF officers who demanded to see my ID. I told them I don’t have it because I usually don’t carry it for fear of losing it. They told me it’s illegal not to be in possession of my ID. I told them to show me the law that says so. Obvious they couldn’t because there’s no such law.

@Honeyfarsafi He’s offering himself to be a better slave to the British 😳🧐

Does this guys even know what BATUK have been doing in Nanyuki?

“Many comrades seem to study Marxism-Leninism not to meet the needs of revolutionary practice, but purely for the sake of study. Consequently, though they read, they cannot digest. They can only cite odd quotations from Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin in a one-sided manner, but are unable to apply the stand, viewpoint and method of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin to the concrete study of China’s present conditions and her history or to the concrete analysis and solution of the problems of the Chinese revolution. Such an attitude towards Marxism-Leninism does a great deal of harm, particularly among cadres of the middle and higher ranks.” - Mao Zedong (1941)
