Kenya 🇰🇪 has a new Deputy President. Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki was sworn in this morning, replacing Rigathi Gachagua who was impeached by the Senate on 18 October. 🧵1/11 #Kenya

Although Gachagua challenged the decision, the High Court allowed for Kindiki’s investiture yesterday, effectively ending Gachagua’s time in office. 2/11

Sûrement pour la première fois dans l'histoire de la @SNCFConnect, quelqu'un va en dire du bien 😌 Six billets achetés (en mai) pour voyager au cours du dernier mois. Tous les trains assurés, aucun retard ni annulation/tornade/colis oublié/jspq. Incroyable 🥲🥺 – at Chaneins, France

Our key points: ➡️ Beyond the Finance Bill 2024, protesters are demanding for a more accountable administration. ➡️ Police should stop using live bullets and generally violence against peaceful protesters - peaceful demonstrations are a constitutional right.

Watching @citizentvkenya walk us through what happened in parliament and all I see is that Kenyans are angry and tired of their elected representatives consistently failing them. They lost their lives over it. Damage to furniture and kitchen equipment cannot be the headline.

Troops from South Africa had left the town two days prior to the raid. In our latest @CrisisGroup Q&A with @PaulineBax1, we warned that the insurgency is rebounding just as southern African countries are withdrawing their troops. crisisgroup.org/africa/east-…

Kilimani everywhere I look 😏
Le projet semblait assez fou et incertain. Démonstration que nous sommes au rendez-vous des jeux olympiques et paralympiques, que la France est une Nation de bâtisseurs, le village des athlètes est prêt ! Héritage immense pour la Seine-Saint-Denis, les Franciliens et la France.

Over the past year, I've been to Harar, Dire, Afar, Lalibela, Arba Minch and parts of the Omo Valley by road. Every person employed in the tourism sector I've spoken to has shared the industry is on its knees. Shiny parks in Addis will never make up for current losses!

Hell is the C gates area at Bole airport. And we know why it's like that.
