Good to see Supreme Court rule that Bunge has no business vetting nominees to public office where the constitution or a law does not expressly require vetting. And thanks Katiba Institute for always bringing enough gas to sustain legal fights against endless state malfeasance.

Here, I argue why professionalizing the police and making it independent is our only hope to having peaceful right to assembly and demonstration. I explain what the content of Art 37 right is and how the police should facilitate it. nation.africa/kenya/blogs-op…

At least Malema is honest about wanting to align himself with Russia but this sets a very poor precedent for #Africa. Russia has invaded an independent sovereign State recognised by the UN. Does that mean that we can disregard boundaries in Africa too?

What kind of national dialogue does Ethiopia need? Tsehay Aklilu Biressaw argues against top-down and elitest approaches. Only by tapping into deep values of ritual communication and local negotiation can Ethiopia plot a pathway out of conflict. democracyinafrica.org/the-ethiopian-…

I've a question for the international community. We have less than 3 months until the next election. How can we possibly have a free & fair election when HON Job Wiwa Sikhala remains unjustly detained in solitary confinement?

My God! If one conservatively counts average of ,4 persons per household, there are ~500, 000 people left homeless! And govt doesn't even think it is worth providing explanations and regular communication about this. Horrible combination of arrogance and heartlessness!

A disovery of this weekend: A number of respectable people seem to think that the stability of #Russia is more important than an end to the mass-murder of Ukrainians. #Prigozhin

I never stop wondering why the leaders of #Zimbabwe’s most powerful neighbor #SouthAfrica serially misrepresent the Zimbabwe governance crisis to a point they make it difficult for Zimbabweans to resolve their own crisis by themselves. Does RSA benefit from the Zim crisis?

Some African presidents had the nerves to go to Ukraine & Russia to try to solve their conflict. Meanwhile there have been conflicts in many places in Africa for years.

The first step in convincing the public that there will be real consequences for this appalling behaviour is transparency. We need to know the names of these policemen, the name of their unit, which VIP they were “protecting” and where that VIP was going.

I met Taner Bilgiç in Turkey last year. He is a principled, articulate and brave defender of academic freedom. I fully support the call to retract his suspension and reinstate his access to his University #academicfreedom

RETWEET! Dear Election Observers, I am sure that you have heard complaints about Zimbabwe’s judiciary and how normal people perceive it to be captured and partisan towards the ruling party. Zimbabwe’s main opposition party CCC went to court, the Zimbabwean High Court,

📍#Gaza: Despite the tragedy unfolding under our watch, the Israeli Authorities informed the United Nations that they will no longer approve any UNRWA food convoys to the north. This is outrageous & makes it intentional to obstruct lifesaving assistance during a man made famine.
