Kenyans seriously need green spaces every 4-5kms within a city or developed town.... We cannot be sitting on the road sides

It is profoundly heartbreaking to witness another surge of xenophobic violence in #SouthAfrica this week. Hundreds have marched on Parliament, thousands of families have been displaced, and lives have been tragically cut short. These include at least five Ethiopians killed earlier in the attacks, and five Mozambicans who died in Mossel Bay. Thousands more are now fleeing for their lives. To see South Africa turn to xenophobia is a tragic betrayal of the country's struggle for independence and freedom. African nations stood united to dismantle apartheid. Ethiopia proudly supported "Madiba," Nelson Mandela, in 1962 and issued him a passport so he could travel the continent. Other countries helped in many ways, including with political and financial support. Disagreements and grievances must be addressed by the justice system and the rule of law, never through vigilante violence and collective punishment. South Africa deserves better. Africa deserves better. Stop the hate. Protect the vulnerable. Uphold our shared humanity.

🇬🇭 🇿🇦 President Mahama on What Happening in SA: President John Dramani Mahama has called on African countries to support South Africa in addressing unemployment and the growing problem of xenophobic attacks against foreign nationals. Speaking at Chatham House in the United Kingdom on Monday, June 1, 2026, Mr. Mahama said African leaders must help South Africa identify and address the root causes of anti-foreigner sentiments, particularly high unemployment among the country’s black population. “We must sympathize with South Africa, and we must help South Africa to be able to drill down and find out what it can do to reduce the unemployment rates amongst the black population and also change the mindset that people who have come to your country are taking your jobs,” he said. - Ghana Broadcasting Cooperation The image below is from JoyNews.

Join us at Ufungamano House, Nairobi, and be part of this national conversation about the Kenya we have and the Kenya we must build together. #Maraga27 #UGMParty #Kumekucha

The effective way to address the growth of goonism, whether by members of @NPSOfficial_KE or by irregular groups, is to pursue accountability for the perpetrators and particularly their sponsors, accessories and principals, with bulldog tenacity, until they are held to account. Regardless of how high or to who the chain of accountability goes. This @LawSocietyofKe will undertake henceforth, in coordination with human rights defenders (HRDs) & civil society organisations. It is time we said ENOUGH! to goonism phenomenon and meant it. @thekhrc @AmnestyKenya @twavinya @HakiKNCHR #TimeIsRIPE
On behalf of Kenya’s civil society and human rights defenders’ community, the Defenders Coalition is deeply concerned by the persistent, coordinated attacks against HRDs, civil society organizations, and their staff by armed, unidentified groups with the most recent incident meted on a meeting by @thekhrc, @TISAKenya and @TIKenya. Given the current precarious state of human rights in Kenya, we urge all citizens, the government, and international partners to demand the protection of human rights and frontline defenders especially in the lead up to the 2027 general elections. @UN @OHCHRKENYA @achpr_cadhp @AndreaBV_SR_HRD @UN_HRC READ FULL STATEMENT HERE defenderscoalition.org/press…

🚨 GOONS CANNOT SILENCE THE PEOPLE'S VOICE We strongly condemn the violent disruption of the Post-Budget Forum at All Saints Cathedral, a peaceful gathering that brought together citizens, civil society, faith leaders, and private sector actors to discuss the national budget and its impact on ordinary Kenyans. The use of violence and intimidation to silence public participation is an attack on democracy and the constitutional rights of all Kenyans. This is not an isolated incident. The growing use of goons to disrupt lawful civic engagement and instill fear must be rejected by all who believe in democracy, accountability, and the rule of law. No amount of intimidation will stop citizens from engaging in conversations about the future of our country. #DefendDemocracy #ProtectCivicSpace #PublicParticipation #PeoplesBudget #Kenya

If Maraga hadn't been there, this probably wouldn't have been reported as widely as it's being reported now. This is how to use presence to draw attention to the things of importance.
Kenyan police fired tear gas to disperse people marching against plans to build on part of Nairobi National Park, arresting at least nine protesters, witnesses said, including David Maraga, the country's former chief justice reut.rs/4vt5gym
