In East African elective politics, violence has no gender, rather it is an extension of nation-state anti black infrastructure that relies on violence to legitimize itself. The one thing political scientists continues ignore in their analysis of “why African states fail.”

This weeks @thecontinent.org covers the story of the fall of El Fasher – the last Darfuri city to resist the Rapid Support Forces. On Monday, the Sudanese army negotiated a safe exit for its troops, abandoning a quarter of a million people as genocidal militias swept in.

As Uganda's elections approach, government agencies have a responsibility to uphold press freedom. We condemn the censorship of Nation Media Group journalists covering parliamentary politics.

In our new preprint we show how tech companies like Meta are capturing research on their product, using mechanisms that subtly (or not so subtly) shape what science gets produced

Today @thecontinent.org essay shows the line between civilian Vs rebel is not a philosophical endeavor like Western media portrays it .
This quote sums it up!
“That night I realised this was no longer a political war – it was a campaign to exterminate my people. I decided to join the resistance.”

“In short, the heyday of “aid” is over. Talk of “aid effectiveness” can rest in peace. The only surviving aid buzzword is “3D”: aligning development with the giver’s diplomatic and defence priorities.”
International “aid” for Africa is shrinking – hastened this year by chaos and renewed insularity in the United States. Africa’s trade with the world is shrinking too. For heavily indebted countries, a perfect storm has made landfall.
The end of ‘aid’
The heyday is over. We can’t just cry about it.

Today’s @thecontinent.org pays tribute to one of Kenya’s longest opposition leaders. While others mourn him some will celebrate his death & that is the complex nature of elective politics for the post “colonial” elite in East Africa where service is not above capitalist interests. Nonetheless RIP.

This country’s problems cannot be analyzed outside of racial capitalism and anti-blackness as a stabilizer for all the violence.
