Yesterday, we hosted the final installment of our teach-in series "Beyond the Bill." After the June 25 uprisings last year, many Kenyans were radicalized, they began seeing the state for what it is, they started seeing the contradictions. We wanted to capture that momentum and, through political education, help people make sense of the shape of power that guides what has been happening in the country—from "how countries should think about debt" to the history of Mwakenya, to Pan-Africanism in the DRC, and much more. Every month for the last year, we invited people to help us understand these connected struggles, and we're grateful to everyone who took part and, of course, everyone who listened and shared!In two of our sessions, we spoke to Sudanese comrades Rabab Elnaiem, Husam Mahjoub, and Gussai Sheikheldin. The edited transcripts of these conversations, we put together and published in a booklet called "Revolution Neither Starts Nor Ends." Our ultimate goal is to distribute these as free pamphlets for reading in social justice centres and other political organizing spaces throughout Nairobi (and maybe throughout the country)! However, in order to fund a big print run, we are selling bound copies of this book at 800 KES. Please buy some copies and help us raise money to print hundreds more to give away! You can find them at Cheche Bookshop. Some of you who have already sent money can pick up your copies there anytime.Police violence is one of the oldest stories of Nairobi. Although many are shocked by the open violence unleashed by the Ruto and Sakaja administrations on the streets of Nairobi — goons given permission to wreak havoc and uniformed officers executing people in broad daylight — brutality is always how informal settlements have been governed. For this reason, people's movements in the ghetto have long been the front-line fighters of the war against police violence, documenting and following up on cases long after media fanfare fades. What are the lessons that can be drawn from their work? How can others stand in solidarity with these movements? How is the fight against police violence actually a fight for a bigger kind of freedom?
I titoli: Tregua a Gaza entro una settimana. L'annuncio del presidente Usa Trump. Ma nella Striscia è ancora strage di civili. In Kenya dure repressioni della polizia alle proteste dei giovani contro la politica del presidente Ruto. Almeno 19 le vittime. Accordo di pace firmato alla Casa Bianca ieri tra Repubblica democratica del Congo e Ruanda. Rispetto dell'integrità territoriale e la cessazione di tutte le ostilità i cardini dell'intesa. Condice: Paola Simonetti In regia: Bruno Orti
« Mercredi noir : 9 morts et 400 blessés lors de manifestations dans 27 comtés », c'est le grand titre du Daily Nation à Nairobi. « Défiance, chaos et chagrin », soupire encore le journal. « Les jeunes sont venus commémorer la mémoire des héros tombés au combat (il y a un an), mais ils ont été accueillis par la violence », déplore pour sa part le Standard, autre quotidien kenyan. Pourtant, poursuit-il, « la protestation est l'un des derniers outils de responsabilisation en cas de défaillance des institutions. (…) La solution ne consiste pas à criminaliser les manifestations menées par les jeunes, mais à réagir à leur contenu. Cela exige une écoute de la part des détenteurs du pouvoir. » Il faut savoir que « le Kenya est un pays jeune, précise encore le Standard : les trois quarts de sa population ont moins de 35 ans. On pourrait penser que la jeunesse serait une priorité centrale des budgets et des plans gouvernementaux, mais ce n'est pas le cas. » Le ras-le-bol de la jeunesse Que s'est-il passé hier dans le pays ? « La jeunesse kényane était (donc) dans la rue, rapporte Le Monde Afrique. Nombreuse et bruyante, un an, jour pour jour, après la gigantesque manifestation au cours de laquelle des protestataires avaient envahi le Parlement pour s'opposer à la loi de finances prévoyant de sévères hausses de prix et d'impôts. Le mouvement de 2024 s'était soldé par une soixantaine de morts et environ 80 disparus, possiblement enlevés par la police, selon des organisations de défense de droits de l'homme. » Les manifestations d'hier étaient donc organisées en mémoire des victimes de l'année dernière. Mais elles ont rapidement pris une tournure politique, pointe encore Le Monde Afrique : « malgré les appels à une marche pacifique, de nombreux manifestants sont venus pour réclamer le départ du pouvoir de William Ruto, le président kényan. » En effet, « la contestation sociale et la colère n'ont fait qu'enfler dans le pays au cours de l'année écoulée. En 2024, les manifestants reprochaient au pouvoir les trop nombreuses hausses de prix : de l'essence, du pain, des serviettes hygiéniques… Un an plus tard, les mêmes accusent désormais le président kényan de dérive autoritaire et de confisquer la démocratie. » Promesses non-tenues… « Dans les cortèges, les revendications vont au-delà de la mémoire, renchérit Afrik.com. Elles portent aussi la désillusion d'une jeunesse diplômée mais sans emploi, dans un pays miné par la corruption et les promesses non tenues. (…) Les mots “Ruto must go“ (Ruto doit partir) résonnent comme un cri collectif contre un Président dont la popularité s'est effondrée. Élu en 2022 avec des promesses d'inclusion et d'emplois pour la jeunesse, William Ruto fait désormais face à un profond rejet, relève encore Afrik.com. S'il a évité toute hausse directe d'impôts dans le budget 2025, beaucoup y voient une mesure cosmétique. Les causes profondes du malaise – chômage massif, violences policières, impunité – demeurent intactes. » Justice ! Enfin, on revient au quotidien kenyan Daily Nation qui lance cette supplique en direction de William Ruto : « Monsieur le Président, mettez fin à cette anarchie ! (…) La colère, la frustration et la déception règnent dans tout le pays, car nos dirigeants ont renié leurs promesses de campagne visant à améliorer le bien-être de la population. » Certes, pointe le journal, « les manifestations doivent être pacifiques, mais la police ne doit pas non plus utiliser une force excessive contre les citoyens qui exercent leur droit constitutionnel. (…) La justice doit être rendue, mais ce même droit s'applique aux familles des manifestants qui ont perdu la vie ou qui ont été blessés l'année dernière. » Le Daily Nation proteste également contre la censure exercée par les autorités : « le gouvernement a interdit la couverture télévisée et radiophonique des manifestations et des émeutes à travers le pays. Cette interdiction constitue une violation flagrante du droit fondamental du peuple à un libre accès à l'information. La liberté de la presse est la pierre angulaire de la société libre et démocratique que ce pays a toujours défendue. »

So I get why Jeff Bezos isn't popular in Venice this week. But why would Africans in general, and Kenyans in particular, not love Bill Gates after the philanthropist pledged to give away $200 billion of his fortune to Africa? According to Tablet staff writer, Armin Rosen, it's because Gates' top-down, metrics-driven approach often ignores what Africans actually want. Drawing from extensive on-the-ground reporting in Kenya, Rosen highlights how Gates' Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa pushed unwanted agricultural technologies onto Kenyan farmers, while his foundation received controversial diplomatic immunity from Kenya's unpopular President Ruto. Though acknowledging Gates' successes in vaccination programs, Rosen questions whether billionaire-led development truly helps or undermines local agency and democratic governance. Maybe Gates should, instead, pledge his billions to Venice to enable the sinking city to outlaw tasteless American celebrity marriages. 1. Gates' philanthropy often imposes unwanted solutions on Africans Rosen argues that Gates consistently brings his own technological fixes to problems without consulting the people he claims to help, particularly through initiatives like the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa. KEY QUOTE: "So a lot of his philanthropy either sort of goes towards bringing his own solutions to these places or his money is spent in such a way that there isn't a lot of consultation with the people that he's actually trying to help."2. The Gates Foundation operates with government-scale power and spending With massive operational costs and diplomatic immunity, the foundation wields influence comparable to state actors, raising questions about accountability and democratic oversight. KEY QUOTE: "The Gates Foundation spends something like $140 million a year just on travel expenses... They have the same scale as a government agency."3. Gates has become deeply unpopular in Kenya due to political associations His close relationship with Kenya's controversial President Ruto has damaged his reputation among Kenyans who already distrust their government and foreign interference. KEY QUOTE: "At the moment, Bill Gates is not a very popular person in Kenya. And the reason for his bad name is the trust deficit with the government."4. Diplomatic immunity controversy reveals troubling governance patterns The secretive granting of legal immunity to the Gates Foundation, announced after deadly protests against the government, exemplified the lack of transparency that fuels public mistrust. KEY QUOTE: "The Gates Foundation had gotten full diplomatic immunity from the Kenyan government... it was relatively unusual in Kenya for any non-governmental organization to get that kind of legal protection."5. Local innovation often outperforms foreign philanthropy African societies frequently develop their own solutions more effectively than external interventions, as demonstrated by Kenya's creation of mobile money systems that became global models. KEY QUOTE: "It turns out that these societies can kind of solve their problems on their own... Kenya is where basically mobile money began, you know, and M-Pesa is a Kenyan invention." At least Gates isn't spending $200 billion on gross Venetian weddings. Despite all Rosen's valid criticisms of Gates' African interventions, I think we should still prefer billionaires who try (however imperfectly) to solve global problems over those buying massive yachts and throwing obscenely expensive parties. Armchair philanthropy criticism is easier than solutions.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

China and Kenya have elevated their relationship to a Community with a Shared Future for the New Era as Kenyan President William Ruto undertakes his five-day state visit to China from April 22 to 26. This marks Ruto's first official trip to China since taking office in 2022. During talks in Beijing, President Xi Jinping reaffirmed China's commitment to multilateralism and global fairness, while Ruto praised China's stabilizing role and support for the Global South amid growing trade tensions. What outcomes can be expected from this upgraded partnership? How can the Global South unite in response to rising U.S. tariffs and economic uncertainty? Liu Baocheng and Peter Kagwanja share their insights.
Kenyan President William Ruto is in China for a state visit at the invitation of President Xi Jinping, where the two leaders agreed to elevate bilateral ties to a "China-Kenya community with a shared future for the new era." Xi described the move as a strategic choice reflecting global and historical trends, adding that China is ready to work with Kenya to set an example of all-weather China-Africa cooperation and promote solidarity among Global South nations.

Het staatsbezoek van koning Willem-Alexander en koningin Máxima aan Kenia roept veel vragen op. Waarom een officieel bezoek aan Kenia als de mensenrechtensituatie er niet goed is en de Keniaanse politie demonstranten keihard aanpakt? Daarbij zijn tientallen mensen gedood en ontvoerd. Het bezoek wordt door veel Kenianen gezien als een goedkeuring van het beleid van president Ruto. Afrika-correspondent Joost Bastmeijer is in Nairobi om verslag te doen van het bezoek, en Jaya Khamala, oprichter van de petitie 'Opposing the Dutch Royals', vertelt over het gebrek aan mensenrechten in Kenia. (14:07) Waarom de EU Servische demonstranten niet in de steek moet laten In hoofdstad Belgrado gingen honderdduizenden mensen de straat op. Het was daarmee de grootste demonstratie ooit in Servië, en dat is uniek. Er wordt door studenten, boeren en andere burgers al drie maanden geprotesteerd tegen de regering en haar corruptie. Maar volgens historicus Geert Luteijn houdt de EU zich veel te afzijdig. En dat is volgens hem niet zonder risico. Presentatie: Tim de Wit
Mahamoud Ali Youssouf, Djibouti's long-serving foreign minister, took office as the African Union Commission's chair yesterday, four weeks after defeating Raila Odinga, Kenya's former prime minister and perennial opposition leader, in the race for the job. He succeeds Chad's Moussa Faki, who leaves after serving two four-year terms. Youssouf's victory represents a diplomatic victory for one of the continent's smallest but diplomatically agile states. But it is being seen more as a setback for Kenya's ambitious foreign policy under President William Ruto. Though recently at odds with Odinga due to their domestic political differences, Ruto took the campaign for the commission chair personally, mobilizing the entire Kenyan government in an attempt to secure the post for his former rival. Ruto likely preferred the thought of Odinga occupied with work at the AU headquarters in Addis Ababa, as it would bolster his own re-election prospects. If so, his calculations recall those of former South African President Jacob Zuma, who ensured that Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma - his former wife and domestic political rival - was elected AU Commission chair in 2012. While the bloc's major donors - Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Nigeria and South Africa - have seldom held the top position, there has been a clear pattern of success for candidates backed by respected or influential heads of state. Dlamini-Zuma hailed from the continent's economic powerhouse, for instance, and at the time the outgoing Faki first won the post in 2017, he benefited from the influential support of then-Chadian President Idriss Deby, who had just held the more prominent position of AU Chair. One might have expected the same dynamic to play in Odinga's favor. However, Ruto did not anticipate the level of opposition the prospect of a Kenyan at the head of the commission would generate. Early in the race, Youssouf received the endorsement of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, which includes 27 African members, in part because Ruto's portrayal of Kenya as a staunch Western ally alienated states that were more sympathetic to Palestine. There were also doubts about whether Odinga would be fully autonomous in his approach to the role or instead serve as a proxy for Nairobi. For all the headwinds Odinga faced, Youssouf also certainly benefited from his long experience in Djibouti, which despite its small size has an active diplomatic profile as part of its efforts to secure external investment in support of its stability. Djibouti hosts the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, or IGAD, the regional bloc comprising eight member states that oversees trade and diplomacy in the Horn of Africa. Unlike other groups on the continent, IGAD is supported by several non-African partner nations, including France, the U.K. and the U.S., highlighting the kind of multilateral networks of support Djibouti has been cultivating. Djibouti's approach serves as a model for leveraging great power competition for its own advantage, without aligning itself with one side or the other. The degree to which Djibouti has successfully leveraged its strategic location on the Horn of Africa is a further sign of its active diplomacy. It is home to at least eight foreign military bases from diverse and even rival countries. These include Camp Lemonnier, the U.S. military's sole permanent base in Africa, as well as a French military and naval base that is among France's largest overseas contingents. But Djibouti also houses China's first overseas military base, as well as bases for Italy, Japan and South Korea, all of which were established to combat piracy and defend vital economic interests in the Red Sea. This sizable foreign presence has contributed to ensuring Djibouti's stability by incentivizing global powers to keep it insulated from other conflicts in the Horn of Africa. These bases have also resulted in significant economic investments in the country, allowing it to boast a considerably higher GDP...

Ruto has accused Karua and the PLP of lacking solutions to Kenya's problems but only focusing on removing him from power. Karua tells VOA's James Butty, the party will present its agenda to the country very soon.

Kenyan President William Ruto, chair of the East African Community Heads of State Summit, has called for an emergency meeting to discuss the conflict in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Bram Verelst, a Senior Researcher with the Institute for Security Studies, a Pan African think tank headquartered in Pretoria, South Africa, tells VOA's James Butty, the Luanda peace initiative hosted by African Union mediator and Angolan President Joao Lourenco is the best option for peace
Au Mozambique, l'opposition manifeste sans relâche depuis plus de deux mois. Au Kenya, des milliers de manifestants ont contraint, il y a six mois, le gouvernement à reculer sur un projet de nouvelle taxe, sans aucune directive politique précise. Ces événements signalent-ils de nouvelles formes de mobilisation populaire en Afrique de l'Est ? Et dans ce contexte, les jeunes protestataires parviennent-ils à se libérer de la tutelle des partis politiques, qui les enferment souvent dans leur appartenance ethnique ? Marie-Emmanuelle Pommerolle, ancienne directrice de l'Institut français de recherches en Afrique à Nairobi et actuellement professeure à l'Université Paris 1, éclaire ces dynamiques sociales et politiques. RFI : Les émeutes de ces derniers jours au Mozambique, ainsi que les grandes manifestations de juin dernier au Kenya, sont-elles le signe d'une nouvelle mobilisation de la jeunesse dans plusieurs pays d'Afrique de l'Est ?Marie-Emmanuelle Pommerolle : Effectivement, nous avons eu des épisodes très intenses de mobilisation au Kenya, liés à une loi fiscale, et là au Mozambique pour contester les résultats électoraux. Ce sont des événements déclencheurs différents, mais effectivement ce sont des jeunes qui réclament de participer davantage au débat politique.Au Kenya, il y a eu une alternance démocratique il y a un peu plus de deux ans, en septembre 2022. Pourtant, 20 mois plus tard, la jeunesse est descendue dans la rue. Pourquoi ?Principalement pour protester contre la loi de finances qui augmentait les taxes sur les biens de première nécessité comme le pain et l'huile. La jeunesse, étranglée par des problèmes tels que le chômage et l'inflation, a décidé qu'il était temps de contester ce type de politique fiscale. Une jeunesse qui a également décidé de descendre dans la rue pour dénoncer la trahison du nouveau président William Ruto, élu démocratiquement. Celui-ci a été élu sur un programme visant particulièrement les jeunes, leur promettant des aides pour s'assurer qu'ils trouvent de l'emploi. Et évidemment ça n'a pas été le cas, il a augmenté les impôts. Donc il y avait un sentiment de trahison parmi ceux qui avaient cru en ce président élu démocratiquement en 2022.Donc, ce sont les mêmes jeunes qui ont voté pour Ruto en 2022 et qui ont crié « Ruto must go » en 2024 ?Effectivement l'analyse des élections de 2022 mettaient bien en avant le fait que des jeunes de tout le pays, et pas seulement dans ses bastions électoraux habituels, avaient voté pour ce président. Il mettait en avant l'idée que le Kenya devait aider les « hustlers », il parlait même d'une « hustler nation », ce qu'on peut traduire par « les débrouillards ». Il voulait vraiment insister sur l'idée que les jeunes devaient créer leurs propres entreprises et que l'État allait les aider. Ce sont effectivement ces mêmes jeunes qui se sont retrouvés dans la rue en juin 2024. On trouvait bien sûr des jeunes très éduqués, le Kenya a une politique d'éducation qui est relativement efficace, mais aussi des jeunes moins favorisés venant des bidonvilles de Nairobi. Donc une jeunesse assez diversifiée qui s'est retrouvée dans la rue et qui dénonçait cette politique fiscale qui les étranglait, alors même qu'on leur avait promis de les aider.À lire aussiKenya: nouvelle journée de tensions à Nairobi, 48 heures après une manifestation violemment répriméeDu coup, William Ruto a renoncé à sa réforme fiscale. Dans l'histoire du Kenya, il y a déjà eu plusieurs épisodes insurrectionnels. Jusque-là, ils s'appuyaient souvent sur des clivages ethniques. Cette année, c'était la même chose ou pas ?Ce qui a fait l'originalité de ce mouvement, c'est que les jeunes revendiquaient être « partyless » et « tribeless », c'est-à-dire ne pas être attachés à un parti ou à une appartenance ethnique. Ils revendiquaient un cosmopolitisme qu'on observe dans les grandes villes et les villes moyennes du Kenya, où les jeunes de toutes les régions se retrouvent pour chercher du travail. Ce rejet des divisions ethniques habituelles se voyait dans l'ampleur des manifestations, qui ont eu lieu non seulement à Nairobi, mais aussi dans des bastions pro-gouvernementaux comme la Rift Valley. Ce mouvement exprimait une jeunesse unie, trahie par des élites qui confisquent le pouvoir.Est-ce que cette mobilisation a été portée par les réseaux sociaux ?Oui, notamment au Kenya, qui est un hub numérique en Afrique, les réseaux sociaux jouent un rôle fondamental dans la vie quotidienne, que ce soit pour payer via un mobile ou pour s'organiser. Ils ont permis de coordonner les manifestations, de diffuser les lieux de rassemblement, et d'animer des débats politiques, notamment sur WhatsApp et X. Les « Space X », par exemple, sont devenus des forums où des voix souvent marginalisées peuvent s'exprimer dans un cadre relativement horizontal et sécurisé.Donc, au Kenya, il y a une forte mobilisation en dehors des partis politiques, alors qu'au Mozambique, on peut parler d'un mouvement porté par les partis politiques ?Oui, tout à fait. L'originalité de la mobilisation au Kenya était cette extériorité par rapport aux partis politiques habituels. Au Mozambique, c'est une contestation post-électorale qui effectivement drainait des foules importantes, notamment la jeunesse. Mais on voit bien qu'elle le fait après avoir été incitée par le candidat de l'opposition qui lui-même n'est plus au Mozambique et qui appelle à manifester pacifiquement pour contester les résultats électoraux.Au Mozambique, c'est aussi une remise en cause du tout-puissant FRELIMO, le parti au pouvoir depuis l'indépendance en 1975. Ces mobilisations remettent-elles en cause l'héritage des pères de l'indépendance ?Alors effectivement, au Mozambique, on trouve des traces de cette contestation des héros de l'indépendance, une statue de l'un des héros de l'indépendance a été déboulonnée récemment au Mozambique. Cette figure, qui avait joué un rôle crucial dans la libération, est également accusée de s'être enrichie grâce au pouvoir. Et effectivement, même au Kenya, même en Ouganda, on peut voir qu'il y a une forme de fatigue vis-à-vis de ces élites politiques qui sont les descendants directs de ceux qui ont effectivement gagné l'indépendance ou pris le pouvoir au nom de la révolution. C'est le cas en Ouganda, et le cas en Tanzanie. Au Kenya, les dirigeants se réclament encore régulièrement du combat Mau Mau. Et ce que montrent les jeunes protestataires, c'est que ces dirigeants ont pourtant trahi leur combat qui était celui d'une véritable indépendance, puisque l'un des registres aussi sur lequel jouent ces protestations, c'est de dénoncer la dépendance à l'extérieur. La dépendance à la Chine, la dépendance aux Occidentaux, un registre qu'on connaît bien en Afrique francophone, notamment vis-à-vis de la politique africaine française. Mais que l'on retrouve aussi, en Afrique de l'Est, avec l'idée que l'indépendance n'a pas été complètement achevée.Cette montée d'un sentiment anti-français en Afrique de l'Ouest trouve-t-elle un équivalent en Afrique de l'Est, avec une montée d'un sentiment anti-chinois ?L'histoire n'est pas équivalente, mais ce sentiment de dépendance vis-à-vis de l'extérieur et surtout de la dépendance des élites est également présent en Afrique de l'Est. Et ce registre commun de la souveraineté se retrouve également dans la jeunesse d'Afrique de l'Est.Les jeunes sont descendus dans la rue au Kenya, mais pas en Ouganda, ni en Tanzanie. Cela signifie-t-il qu'il y a moins de problèmes dans ces deux pays ?Alors les jeunes sont descendus dans la rue en Ouganda, suite au mouvement qui a eu lieu au Kenya au mois de juin. Il y a eu une forme d'imitation de ce qui se passait au Kenya, parce qu'évidemment les problèmes sont aussi nombreux, notamment sur les questions de corruption. Néanmoins, en Tanzanie comme en Ouganda, l'espace civique est très restreint. La moindre protestation donne lieu à des arrestations, à une répression très forte. L'espace public, du fait de cette histoire autoritaire, très prégnante encore en Tanzanie, en Ouganda, est moins susceptible de donner lieu à des mobilisations fortes que chez le voisin kényan.Et est-ce pour cela que le régime ougandais a fait capturer, il y a un mois au Kenya, le chef de l'opposition, Kizza Besigye, qui doit passer en cour martiale le 7 janvier prochain à Kampala ?C'est effectivement le signe que le pouvoir ougandais est très susceptible par rapport à la moindre opposition. C'est aussi le signe que le gouvernement kényan est très proche de ce pouvoir ougandais, jusqu'à lui laisser la liberté de venir enlever un opposant chez lui, au Kenya. C'est quelque chose qui est dénoncé fortement par les sociétés civiles ougandaise et kényane, qui voient une alliance de pouvoirs extrêmement autoritaires.À lire aussiManifestations au Mozambique: la répression a tué de nombreux enfants et arrêté des centaines d'autres
Youth movements have become a powerful catalyst for demanding change across Africa. Kenya's #RejectFinanceBill2024 protests emerged in June 2024 as a response to a controversial finance bill that included significant tax hikes. Despite violent police crackdowns resulting in over 60 deaths, the movement successfully pressured President Ruto to withdraw the bill and dismiss several cabinet members. Mvemba is joined by Kenyan youth leaders Hanifa Adan, Journalist and Activist, Kasmuel McOure, Spokesperson for the National Coordination Committee of Peoples' Assemblies, and Mwanase Ahmed, Socio-environmental Activist, to discuss the ongoing dissatisfaction of Kenyan youth. They highlighted the failure of previous regimes to address economic hardship and government corruption that led to a collective awakening among young people. These activists stressed the need for civic education and community engagement to mobilize support across Kenya. Furthermore, the overarching sentiment is that youth will continue to strive for change and seek accountability from Kenyan political leaders, a sign of growing resilience in the face of systems that do not work for them.
