@bobWaltzer Putting aside that you did not read the thread, *you* are the one making the *extraordinary* claim that Iran *wants NATO to attack it*. Please provide your evidence for this extraordinary claim—which could only be substantiated by proof that Iran wants to commit national suicide.

There's no reason for Iran to attack NATO nation Turkey—but a drone did. Iran denies sending it. There's no reason for Iran to attack a UK base in Cyprus—but a drone did. Iran denies sending it. Now Azerbaijan has been attacked. Iran denies involvement. I think this is Israel.

🚨🚨 BREAKING: COURT OF APPEAL DECLARES - A TITLE DEED CANNOT DEFEAT A PROVEN TRUST In Erick Kipkurgat Kiprono v Patrick Kimutai Kiprono, the Court of Appeal has sent shockwaves through land ownership disputes after ordering a registered landowner to surrender half of land he held solely in his name. The dispute traces back to around 2000 when two parties allegedly agreed to jointly purchase 10 acres from Lonrho Agribusiness for KSh 350,000. Because one party worked in Nairobi, the other handled the transaction. The sale agreement expressly stated the purchaser was acting as agent for both and even allocated 5 acres each in the schedule. However, when the title was eventually issued, the entire land was registered in only one name. When the excluded party later demanded his share, the registered owner flatly denied any joint purchase, contribution, or trust. The Court of Appeal was not convinced. After re-evaluating the evidence, the judges found the intention to jointly own the land was not speculative; it was written into the very sale agreement used to obtain Land Control Board consent. Testimony from the attesting advocate, the vendor’s lawyer, and the vendor’s representative all confirmed the joint purchase. The Court emphasized that a trust will be implied where parties’ intention is clearly established, and that equity will not allow a registered proprietor to approbate and reprobate by relying on the same agreement to obtain title while denying the beneficial interest recorded in it. Crucially, the Court held that the Land Control Act could not be used as an instrument of fraud where consent had already been obtained on the basis of a disclosed joint interest. For the ordinary mwananchi, this decision is a serious reality check. Many people believe the name on the title deed is the end of the story, it is not. If evidence shows land was bought jointly or one party acted as agent for another, courts can and will slice through the register and enforce a trust. What many are not ready for is this: informal family arrangements, handshake land deals, and “weka kwa jina yako kwanza” transactions are legally dangerous. Going forward, anyone entering joint land purchases must document contributions clearly and align registration with the true intention; because in today’s Kenya, the courts are increasingly willing to look beyond the title and follow the money and the intention. Kindly retweet widely. @georgediano @Thuranira_1 @DavisThuranira @joshuamalidzo @NelsonHavi Iran #NunuaGariUsijenge #MainaAndKingangi World Wildlife Day #UsalamaBarabarani Road Safety Reforms Trump Kuwait Wamuthende Dubai

Starlink faced barriers in South Africa due to B-BBEE rules requiring 30% ownership by historically disadvantaged groups for telecom licenses. This isn't solely because Elon Musk is not Black, but because SpaceX wouldn't dilute ownership. Rules were eased in Dec 2025 to allow equivalent investments instead. However, ICASA states no formal application has been submitted yet.

Kenya committed to #SDG169; legal identity for all. Yet, it implements prohibitive practices including ID vetting, corruption & administrative barriers that undermine this pledge. On this #IDDay we call on the government to align its practices with its pledge. #MyIDMyRight #IDDay
