"Kenya’s Gen Z has not reinvented resistance but it has digitised an old repertoire and spliced it with a wicked sense of play." Great new piece by Mikhail Nyamweya on the use of humour in the current wave of youth-led protests in Kenya. democracyinafrica.org/humour-as-a-fo…

Alongside the Platform for African Democrats, we stand in unwavering solidarity with Tundu Antiphas Lissu and call for his immediate and unconditional release. His ongoing persecution sends a deeply troubling message about #Tanzania's lack of justice and democracy. #FreeTunduLissu
