When I see articles circulating about how African youth are just starting to protest, then I remember that millions of Sudanese people were in the streets for an entire year before their revolution was hijacked by external countries, it reminds me how people misread Africa.

What the RSF is doing, as the party on the offensive, is basically a 🖕 to the Jeddah Process & its facilitators. Diplomats can continue to preach "there is no military solution to this conflict," but the RSF is clearly pursuing one in #Sudan. 1/

Felt appropriate to post this on Labor Day. Here are the merch cuts being taken by the venues on this upcoming tour. This is going to cause us to sell our merch for higher prices than we'd like to at certain venues. We think that sucks. 1/

If you'd like more Kenyan election thoughts, here's a nifty collection on how women experience elections around the country, written primarily by Kenyan women (there's one man). Available to download free from the @HBSNairobi website.

I understand why so many people in Africa want to call Kenya a success, but please stop chiding us for wanting more for our country than the bare minimum. People not killing each other after an election is the bare minimum. We are allowed to want more, as are you.

In a televised address to the nation, Sudan's Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok just announced that he has resigned from office. "I tried to avoid [the country from] slipping into disaster," he said.

It’s actually incredible how women got erased from the anti-colonial / nationalist histories and narratives of virtually every African country. A few examples of what women actually did:

thousands of ugandans worked for the us military in iraq and afghanistan mostly as armed guards, so this just completes the loop of displacement, exploitation, and forcing others to bear the cost of your crimes

I am going to say a few quick things about the implications of the UNC situation. 1. The evaluation of Jones peers and the faculty was that she should be appointed as a full professor. Overriding that assessment is a clear obstruction of the principle of academic freedom.

Had a deeper conversation with the security officer who impounded our bodas. He's surprised many young professionals invest in bodas, rolex sigiris,etc. We provide capital & our cousins, brothers, sisters, etc do the work. Not ideal for us to venture there, but that's the economy

One of the many issues that emerges from journalism that is unable to tell stories about The Other without the crisis framing. Kenya's survival as a political unit isnt just about the 2022 election, and yesterday's ruling isn't just about Uhuruto.

Opinion: It is joy everywhere, Mr Museveni is swearing in. Aren’t you hearing the drums and fanfare on the streets of Uganda’s cities, towns and in villages? Last night we did not go to bed, we partied all night at our small joint observer.ug/viewpoint/6974…

Now that Uganda Prez Yoweri #Museveni has been sworn in for an 8th term (2 of them unelected) tune in for mega drama. People will jockey & sweat as M7 picks and drops ministers, Prime Minister/Deputy PMs, and other chiefs. There will be little sleep in Kampala the rest of May.
