In May, the Africa Forward Summit in Nairobi announced โฌ23B in investment commitments, and Kenya signed five deals worth about โฌ170M for energy, digital connectivity, water and education. Russia brings MoUs and photo ops. Africa should choose partners who bring capital jobs and respect, not applause.
Five days before the summit, all four of Moscow's major airports shut down over drone activity. The host can't keep its own airports open, yet Africa is asked to trust it with our young people. The risk is ours and the benefit is theirs. That math doesn't add up.
In March, Mudavadi said Russia had agreed to stop deploying Kenyans to fight. Today, government records link 354 Kenyans to the war, 84 are dead or missing, and the Washington Post reports over 1,000 were lured by job offers. Russia denies organising recruitment in Kenya. So who is signing these young men up?
How I dated a Community boyfriend
I had been dating (let me call him Brian ) for a few months. From the beginning things were okay. Calls every night. Good morning texts. Random "I miss you" messages. Long conversations where we planned a future we hadn't even budgeted for.
He used to tell me "Babe. You're the only woman I have."
Mudavadi told Parliament that Russia's Defence Ministry says it can't help trace or return the remains of dead Kenyans. Families can't bury their sons or claim compensation. Moscow calls itself a "strategic partner"but what kind of partner can't return a mother's child?
