Police raided the offices of the Mathare Social Justice Centre (MSJC) on Wednesday, harassing staff and making threatening calls to organisers just days before the launch of a book tracing Kenya’s resistance from the Mau Mau uprising to the current “Ruto Must Go” movement, the centre has reported. Four officers stormed the premises, interrogating cadres and disrupting planning for the launch of From Mau Mau to Ruto Must Go: Essays on Kenya’s Struggle Against Imperialism, which documents opposition to an “oppressive tax regime” under President William Ruto. The raid follows a pattern of state repression against grassroots activists. In May 2024, police arrested 26 MSJC organisers following a demonstration against flood-related evictions in Mathare, where residents’ homes were demolished without relocation assistance. The centre has long documented police violence, recording over 800 extrajudicial killings between 2013 and 2016.

All participating countries need to refuse to play. This World Cup is a racist humiliation ritual, and the psycopathy behind it is the same psychopathy behind how Israel treats Palestinians, ICE's treatment of POC, and the bombings of Caribbean and Latin American fishermen.

Israeli minister calls for kidnapping of Lebanese women and children to break Hezbollah morale —— Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir urged the political-security cabinet to abduct and imprison Lebanese women and children as a psychological warfare tactic against Hezbollah, according to a closed-door leak published by Hebrew news outlet Walla. During a high-level ministerial meeting reviewing expanded military calculations, Ben-Gvir demanded that Tel Aviv abandon conventional strategy and explicitly target the social and familial core of the Lebanese resistance network. "We must think outside the box regarding Hezbollah," Ben-Gvir asserted to his fellow cabinet members, according to the report. The Israeli minister added that alongside occupying southern territory and intensifying lethal strikes on personnel, Israeli forces should actively round up civilians. "We should arrest their women and children and take them to prison; this is what hurts them the most," he stated.
