As the #RejectFinanceBill2024 movement continues, we wanted to share some resources for you and your little ones (under 10) to help them understand what is going on. A far from exhaustive list of media, tools and tips, with a focus on our baby '@KaBrazen'. Thread!

Dearest Black Stars, Every embassy in Accra is neutral tonight. Except one. There are other ways we could qualify tonight. We could wait for Algeria. We could hope Congo slips. But we'd rather owe it to you. Beat Croatia. 🇬🇭

Today we remember every life cut short by the Government of Kenya since December 12, 1963. And most of all, we remember all victims of the #RejectFinanceBill2024 uprising. May their blood haunt these b***ar*s! And may our commitment to remember them water the tree of justice.

And on the day the monkey was destined to die, all the trees became slippery. But monkey didn’t fall to his death. It was rabid panic— shouting himself hoarse, foaming at the mouth, and pointing about madly— that caused his heart to stop beating.

After #Kenya’s 2024 anti-government protests, surveillance of ordinary citizens surged and some of the methods used are falling outside of the law. My latest for @AJListeningPost with sharp insights from @tom_mukhwana, @VictorNdede & @Nanjala1 youtube.com/watch?v=agM2Zk…

Kenya is truly an amazing country. Never has a (purportedly) sovereign nation taken such pride, not in just being an imperial outpost, but being a regent of an Empire in which they have zero stake other than the emperor's avuncular gaze. What a time to be alive.

People often recognize a feeling long before they have language for it. Sometimes a sentence or diagram simply makes an existing tension speakable. Not closure. Just language for what communities have carried quietly for years.

Kenyan Indians who've been following the conversation after @shikshaarora_ 's comments on the podcast This is the time to listen. To be honest. To reflect deeply. Proximity does not equal relationship As excellently articulated in @blindianproject blindianproject.substack.com/p/we-were-plac…

there’s a long and cool history of jinn participating in resistance, both in the past and even in contemporary lore. From the jinn of Afghanistan haunting US soldiers to African freedom fighters enlisting their jinn counterparts

Salma@lallathurayya

We tend to talk so much about the elites summoning jinns but I firmly believe most jinns would be on the axis of resistance, given their nature.
