BATUK: BRITAIN'S COLONIAL GRIP IN KENYA BATUK: The White Man’s Burden in Kenya is not just a documentary about a British military base where soldiers roll around in the dirt for six months before returning home to the UK. It is a documentary about abuse of power, occupation of indigenous land and the unfinished business of colonialism. For decades, ordinary Kenyans living around BATUK have raised allegations of abuse, sexual violence, ecological destruction and impunity, while one of the world’s most powerful former colonial powers continues to operate freely on Kenyan soil, handing out small amounts of compensation whenever evidence of alleged crimes reaches the media. At the centre of the documentary is the story of Agnes Wanjiru, a 21-year-old Kenyan woman who was tortured, killed and dumped in a septic tank, while British soldiers mocked and ridiculed her death on social media. One soldier posed in front of the septic tank and posted, “If you know, you know.” Others joked about the five-month-old daughter she left behind, posting imagery of a baby beside a gravesite. But the story goes beyond Agnes and her tragic killing and the shocking behaviour of British troops thereafter. The documentary asks deeper questions: How did Britain maintain a military presence in Kenya, the very same year the country supposedly gained independence? Why are foreign troops still training on stolen land while local communities continue to suffer? And above all, why does the Kenyan government allow all of this? Laikipia County, currently in the spotlight because of plans for an Ebola quarantine facility for US citizens, is the very same county where the BATUK military base is headquartered. This documentary helps connect the dots about why Kenya’s political elite remain so willing to cede sovereignty to foreign powers like Britain, and why they may be willing to do the same again with the United States.

Lets call out validity of all elections everywhere. But I cannot ignore the massive hypocrisy staring me in the face when Isu supporters are jeering.

@DahlaKib Unfortunately words have lost value these days. There's been too many promises to "rest assured" but I cannot help be hopeful. The focus on infrastructure if true and not exaggerated is sure to pay dividends. Only thing missing is accountability and independent verification.

@RedSeaLeft This is just wrong. Are you confusing democrats for left? Left is protesting all manners of imperialism to the point that the admin is even considering trampling on the constitution to threaten the left while liberals are cheering for it.

Happy independence day to all Eritreans! To a century of prosperity and peace.

US to lift Eritrea sanctions as Red Sea tensions reshape alliances, document says May 5 (Reuters) - The United States is set to remove sanctions against Eritrea, according to an internal U.S. government document seen by Reuters, a decision analysts linked to the ​African state's strategic location on the Red Sea shipping route. The U.S. move is aimed at improving ties with Eritrea, which has a long Red ‌Sea coastline opposite Saudi Arabia, while also sending a message to neighbouring Ethiopia not to go to war with its longtime Horn of Africa foe, analysts said. reuters.com/.../us-lift-er…

Press Statement Mischaracterizations Surrounding Prospects for Eritrea-United States #Rapprochement The #Embassy of the State of #Eritrea in Washington, D.C. takes note of the recent article published by The Wall Street Journal on prospects for resetting relations between Eritrea and the United States. While the article acknowledges Eritrea's strategic importance in the #Horn of #Africa and the #RedSea corridor, it advances selective narratives with the evident intention of undermining the timely opportunity for constructive engagement. Indeed, and in the same vein, certain, self-styled, pundits have subsequently reverted to alarmist interpretations across media and social platforms, recycling discredited claims and attempting to cast unwarranted doubt on any positive trajectory in Eritrea-U.S. relations. Such commentaries are neither objective nor constructive; essentially, they represent hired lobbyist advocacies disguised as "independent" analysis. A fundamental reality must be recognized. Decades of pressure, sanctions, and isolation have not produced positive outcomes, neither for #US policy objectives nor for regional stability. There is now increasing acknowledgment, even within U.S. policy circles, that a shift towards engagement, rather than misplaced and unwarranted coercion, is both necessary and overdue. Attempts by some commentators to portray this shift as dangerous reveal more about entrenched biases than about actual conditions on the ground. The persistence of such narratives, often repeated loudly on social media without evidence, reflects a deliberate effort to obstruct progress rather than inform public understanding. Eritrea's position has been consistent and principled. Since independence, it has pursued a policy anchored in #sovereignty, non-interference, and an independent development policy that eschews structural and perpetual dependency. Eritrea does not subscribe to dependency-based models. Instead, it promotes mutually beneficial partnerships rooted in trade, investment, and respect for national ownership of development priorities; an approach aligned with evolving global trends. Attempts by certain analysts to caricature this policy orientation only expose a lack of seriousness and analytical rigor. Assertions that improved relations would embolden instability lack credibility. Eritrea has consistently upheld territorial integrity, international law, and peaceful coexistence. Its regional policy has been guided by, and is anchored on, legitimate security considerations and a clear commitment to stability in the Horn of Africa and the Red Sea basin. The repeated efforts by some voices to suggest otherwise, often in inflammatory tones, amount to little more than noise intended to distract from substantive policy discussions. Equally flawed is the narrative that lifting unilateral U.S. sanctions would have negative consequences. These measures were unwarranted, selectively applied, and counterproductive. They neither advanced peace nor served strategic interests. Their continued defense by a narrow circle of commentators, despite clear evidence of their legality and utility, raises questions about the motivation behind such positions. As pronounced on several occasions, Eritrea has always been keen to cultivate a respectful, forward-looking, and constructive engagement based on mutual respect, non-coercion, and sovereign equality. The path forward requires moving beyond ineffective policies and dismissing unproductive narratives, particularly those amplified by the whimsical intent of certain individuals bent on derailing progress. A balanced, fact-based, approach will better serve both nations and contribute to lasting peace and stability in the region.

#PFDJ has such a superficial understanding of their own revolution and its success. Instead of cooperation, unity they learned solitude, independence. Instead of education, creativity they learned blind loyalty, dogma. This ideological 180 is a betrayal of our ጀጋኑ.

Excellent Read - Moments of Inspiration: the 20th YPFDJ Conference; by Dawit Gebremichael *"...I have attended many conferences over the years in different parts of the world and across different industries. Many are informative. Some are inspiring. Few are transformative. This was one of those rare moments when you could see the connection between the past, present, and future with clarity. I saw a generation that understands its history but is not confined by it. A generation that is open to learning but grounded in identity. A generation that recognizes that the future is not something to wait for, but something to build". *"...Throughout the conference, I had the opportunity to listen and learn from elder leadership, including Ambassadors and seasoned national representatives who have dedicated their lives to the service of Eritrea. Their presence was not symbolic. It was instructive. They spoke with the weight of experience and forward-looking vision that recognized the central role of youth in shaping the nation’s future. Equally inspiring were the young Heads of Mission and youth leaders who stood at the intersection of responsibility and action. They represented a generation that is not waiting for direction but is actively shaping outcomes. Their command of issues, their discipline in execution, and their clarity of purpose reflected something deeper than individual ambition. It reflected a collective consciousness". shabait.com/2026/04/11/mom…

Their ego has divided the country and is handing the future of the country to plunder, as the opposition is even worse and incompetent. But it's the only alternative being presented. And the people being politically illiterate will take that alternative.

#PFDJ prefers to breed a special lot of zealots who blindly lash out and attack at any dissent instead of politically educated, academic, honest and civil nationalists. Though these loyal supporters will die for the cause they can never take up the mantle or execute the vision.
