Before Al existed, men simply used to steal women's work and publish it under their own names

The absence of permanent African seats on the Security Council is indefensible. The Security Council must reflect today’s world. This is 2026 — not 1946. Whenever decisions about Africa and the world are on the table, Africa must be at the table.

There is a deliberate narrative being pushed that Kenyans are wave driven, are easily excited and easily distracted. That narrative is not analysis. It is strategy. It is meant to make you doubt your own judgment and to shift attention away from substance. The cost of living

We must ensure African countries benefit first & fully from their critical minerals through fair, sustainable value chains & manufacturing. No more plundering. No more exploitation. The people of Africa must benefit from the resources of Africa.

BREAKING: The US and Israel dropped bombs on an elementary school for girls in Iran’s city of Minab. 36 little girls have been killed so far. People are still pulling bodies from under the rubble. Not militants. Not combatants. Little girls. Students. This is terrorism.

Civilians should never pay the price of military action, their protection is essential. All parties to the conflict should respect international humanitarian law and prioritize the protection of civilians. These truths are universal. #Iran

"The war was launched this weekend, not because there was a breakdown in the negotiations, rather because there was a breakthrough in the negotiations." Al Jazeera's Marwan on the joint attack by Israel and the US on Iran.

Hundreds marched at Cape Town, South Africa, for the city’s annual Pride Parade and Mardi Gras, celebrating LGBTQIA+ visibility while calling for greater equality and safety across Africa

Last year, I was invited to contribute a chapter to a book on migration and humour. It did not work out. What I encountered was best described as epistemological misalignment. Or simply, my Blackness was too Black for the project, and I was not willing to shrink it.

Every time you award tenders to your friends, a mother in Turkana buries a child who starved to death. A child has no books in Tana . A youth has no job in Kericho. That is the real cost of corruption, not numbers in an audit, but graves in the sand. While greed fattens a few in
