We mourn the loss of Rasna Warah, a fearless writer, truth-seeker, and unwavering voice for justice. Her contributions to The Elephant and her broader body of work challenged injustice, exposed impunity, and inspired generations. Rasna's words were a beacon of courage, her

Wanjira Wanjiru: I don’t think we need to be talking about Raila now. Raila betrayed us. We were not on the streets for ODM to get positions, we were on the streets to get good governance in this country. Had Raila joined us we would be having a very different conversation right

Dear CIA and NIS bots trying to ram the tribal narrative down our throats: After Uhuru paid British public relations firms to gaslight us on social media, we did the work of analyzing how you operate. We also know that tribalism is a US imperialist agenda.

Who's gonna tell these politicians we meant it when we said we are done with tribal politics? We hate to see it!! Also, this GenZ fight is gen Zote. Every patriotic Kenyan to do their little bit to keep our politics sane and people centric. #TribeKatiba 🇰🇪

In his mountain-wooing, President Ruto says he will deal with miraa cartels, some call this ahadi za jaba while others say it's miraa-cles... 2nd April, 2025 #NTVTonight (w)rap with Number8, the poet

Too many lives lost. Too many families broken. Join us as we honour the victims of police killings in Mukuru — and demand justice. #JusticeForMukuru #EndPoliceViolence #SayTheirNames #TheyWereUs

On 14th April 2025, the Mothers of Victims and Survivors Network officially notified Ruben Police Station of their intention to hold a peaceful vigil. The Deputy OCS acknowledged the notification and gave a verbal greenlight. However, in a deeply frustrating and unjust reversal,

🌍 Very interesting post from Ken Opalo about the weakness of the African Union and what might be done to revive it, plus a useful graphic on the "spaghetti bowl" of partly overlapping regional cooperation forums (🔗 in next post)

Allan ADEMBA: The fearless freedom fighter who lived to tell. Let’s plaster his face everywhere to energize the revolution and immortalize his example. #RutoMustGoNow

The story of June 25th 2024 is already written and as they say, the ink is dry. Those attempting to rewrite it will find it especially difficult because this particular piece of history is written in blood. Speaking as someone who was present in Parliament that day, the events

It's probably hard to pick favourites of his literally genius but this timeless classic does it for me. This book is soo good! Talks of a man whose eyes suddenly opened to the realisation of his oppression. We sincerely celebrate the life and works of Patriot Ngugi wa Thiong'o.🇰🇪

MSJC notes with concern the rising cases of incitement and violence against activists and human rights defenders. The recent X post by Francis Gaitho is a threat to the life of Wanjira Wanjiru🇰🇪🇵🇸 and will not be taken lightly. Here is our statement as MSJC matharesocialjustice.org/organic-intell…

Raila Odinga calling for “dialogue” and “restraint” is laughable. It reminds me of Muhammad Ali final fight vs Larry Holmes in 1980, when Ali’s skills had severely declined, and his legendary stamina and speed not what they used to be. Holmes crushed Ali.

#SabaSabaAt35: A Response to a Comrade By Gitobu Imanyara I read with keen interest the statement issued by my comrade of the struggle, Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga, reflecting on the thirty-fifth anniversary of Saba Saba and calling for a “national intergenerational conclave.” His

This man He doesn’t get enough recognition Its by design There is a reason his tracks never made it to mainstream media If they did,if Radios played two songs of his every morning for two months Kenya would be in flames. He is a danger,not to us,But the government

KES 300 billion cannot simply “go missing.” If the Auditor General cannot trace funds raised through government bonds, then we are staring at a full-blown crisis of accountability at the The National Treasury & Economic Planning and Central Bank of Kenya Public debt is borrowed on behalf of every Kenyan, present and

In all these, my angst is how vulnerable Africa is. A global war is imminent, and Africa's political class is still wheeler-dealing.
