The Ruto administration has tried to frame Kenya’s protest movement as acts of terrorism and even an uprising.
But as @nanjala.bsky.social writes, the real crisis is Ruto’s own intolerance for dissent and inability to engage with Kenyan citizens except by fiat.

Ruto Once Courted Kenya’s Youth. Now He’s Trying to Silence Them
Instead of listening to protesters’ grievances, Ruto’s government is repressing them. That’s a bad sign for the health of Kenya’s democracy.

Deadly anti-gov't protests have gripped Kenya for over a year, but a key event from more than 30 years ago is fueling the movement. Al Jazeera’s Malcolm Webb reports from Nairobi.

Indeed.
So of course shout out to the French and British governments who hosted William Ruto this week. There is never an African oppressor that the colonisers are unwilling to break bread with.

Interesting voting pattern on a draft resolution by the African Group seeking to establish an intergovernmental ad hoc committee at the UN for the "purpose of elaborating a comprehensive convention on international tax cooperation."

Hi #EconSky,
Just arrived on this site 👋 looking for the joys of old-school #econtwitter.
I'm a PhD student @Cambridge, working on topics in macro, labor and firm dynamics. On #econtwitter I used to summarize particularly interesting/important/enjoyable papers. Hopefully again here!

Hi all! I’m a PhD candidate 📣on the market 📣this year. I study the criminal justice system and labor market in the US.
Beyond research, I enjoy singing, cats, glassblowing, reading, and bad TV (you’ll see in my JMP thread how this last hobby became a research question!).
