Revolutionary times 😉

We can say that this is not a surprise given how the primary function of football clubs in Africa is political capital. We’ll likely see the same happen in Kenya’s election season.

The FIFA Council, its governing board, were not given a say over this peace award. It is purely a Gianni Infantino innovation and he will decide who gets it. Amazing how a decade after a major corruption scandal nearly ended FIFA, this is how FIFA runs now. Such a concentration of power.

All I’m saying is that the same questions asked of the UN, EU, or NATO should be asked of FIFA. Instead of urging FIFA not to award the World Cup to countries with poor human rights records, the question should be why should the World Cup exist at all, and whose interests does it serve?

At the same time, the institutions that genuinely attempt to operate on some moral or normative basis — such as the United Nations, NATO, or the European Union — are having their legitimacy questioned by the very same actors who use sport as a vessel for moral legitimacy.

ulitupata late 😁 but better late than never. Leo sitakuwa though

This is very bleak for institutional science, but as someone on the job market this cycle, I think it is kind of a blessing in disguise for people who were considering applying to PhD programs next cycle... The academic jobs just don't really exist anymore

And yet the current political climate wants to erase everything this man has done, in a continent where democracies have failed because men in Raila’s position refused to concede the same way Raila conceded.
