El-Nino delayed is not El-Nino denied.
A pastoralist prays, the pockets are feeling the brunt. Literally, feeding livestock hard currency, every single day.

The unspoken rules of a traditional African ceremony:
1. Do not arrive on time. You don't want to seem too eager, especially for a burial, or an eating ceremony. Let it seem that they dragged you out of a pressing activity like weeding your farm. Delay a bit. If you made it early, wait for others to start trickling in.
2. Do not walk in alone with your arms behind your back. Join a group walking in. If they laugh, laugh. If they clap, clap. A man who walks alone is evil. He is afraid people will discover his evil spirit if he joined them.
3. When they call for food, pretend you didn't hear the call. Continue with the conversation among your kin. They will call a second time, raise your head, but do not move. They will come and call you a third time. Now you can go. Again, it is important that you do not seem too eager to the eating table. It will be said you went there for food only.
4. If you are gluttonous, try and be funny that we may ascribe your gluttony to silliness rather than to what it actually is. You can't eat more than us and still look like Iddi Amin. We will beat you.
5. City people are revered. It is not that we do not value our own, but it is important that guests go with a good impression of us. So we will give them the best seats, and first servings. We may not have but our reputation does not have to suffer as well.
6. When you are called to give a speech, start by telling us who your father is. His name is very important. Then you will see the elders nod their heads, mumbling that you really are your father's son or daughter. Just as intelligent and brave. It is very important that you have a father in African ceremonies. Dead or alive, his name remains.
7. If the person beside you falls amd starts mumbling incoherently and sweating, this especially common among women in burial ceremonies, do not run. It is the spirit of grief that has seized her. They will come pick her up, take her outside under a tree to cool. The spirit of grief brings high fever. It needs cooling in the shade.
8. If you came with a car, offer to leave with a few kinsmen. When they complain that they will soil your car with their dirty feet, and they will, you must insist that the car was already dirty even if you just brought it from a car wash.
9. With the car, it is important that you drop your kinsmen at their gates so that the neighbors will see that they have "big" connections in the city. This will shield them againt harassment by a malicious neighbor with ill intent.
10. If you are a handsome bachelor, a villager will tell you about their daughter who is also in the city. In the university or working somewhere. They will give you her number. Tell you to call her. You guys should know each other. They are hooking you up. If none offers and you are a bachelor, I will not speak. If I speak, you will say I am insulting you.

Major cheat code for life: Get organized. Just get your sh*t together, really. Stop creating emergencies for yourself by being all over the place. Pick a direction. Focus. Lock in. Discipline doesn't remove every problem, but it prevents a shocking number of avoidable ones.

Ian Henderson led the colonial government operation that led to the capture Dedan Kimathi .
He wrote a book about it.
In the book, he makes it clear that capturing Dedan Kimathi was less about conventional military might and more about solving a massive intelligence problem. According to a CIA review of the book, Kimathi was shielded by an airtight grip on information and an unmatched mastery of the terrain within the dense Aberdare forest. To crack this defence, Henderson’s operation had to pivot completely, relying on four core realities.
First, the colonial forces had to admit that European soldiers were useless trackers in the deep bush. The success of the entire operation hinged on a network of surrendered or captured Mau Mau fighters, alongside Kikuyu police. These turned recruits possessed the jungle craft and intimate knowledge of Kimathi's movements that Henderson’s men simply could not replicate.
This reality forced the second major strategy, which was the use of pseudo-gang tactics. The CIA review notes that Henderson’s real breakthrough came from his ability to persuade former fighters to switch sides. Government-backed teams made up of these turned guerrillas went back into the Aberdares posing as active Mau Mau units, using their insider knowledge to locate and compromise real cells from the inside out
Third, Henderson turned the hunt into a granular study of Kimathi’s personal rituals. Intelligence gathered from the forest revealed that Kimathi regularly prayed, facing Mount Kenya beneath wild fig trees. By mapping these specific spiritual and personal habits, the trackers drastically narrowed their search zone, setting targeted ambushes at the exact landmarks Kimathi was bound to visit.
Finally, the operation was a gruelling war of attrition. Even with the broader Mau Mau movement heavily weakened by 1956, it still took ten agonizing months of constant tracking to corner him. Kimathi’s extreme caution and flawless bushcraft meant there were no shortcuts, making the hunt a slow, exhausting grind through the canopy.
In 1954,General China (Waruhiu Itote) of the Mau Mau, dressed in hospital attire with a bullet still in his body, is seen handcuffed with the British Kikuyu-speaking colonial intelligence officer, Ian Henderson.
What’s truly intriguing is that Henderson spoke fluent Kikuyu — this British spy had mastered the language so well he could interrogate Mau Mau fighters in their mother tongue. He had been raised in Nyeri since childhood, with his father being a settler.
