The grandson of a MauMau freedom fighter can't get a Kenyan national ID due to ID vetting. Omar Gitonga has been applying to obtain his ID since 2021. 3 years later, he's still denied an ID card yet he's a Kenyan citizen. ID vetting is discriminatory. #EndIDVetting #MyIDMyRight

I love this list every year. Asante BRITTLE PAPER

At #CERTIZENS @NaiKalema giving a insightful … scary … paper about data colonialism and extraction in new #digitalID systems in Africa. One to watch.

Such a rigorous and motivating set of discussions around IDs, documents, registers, digitisation, a bit of biometrics, and changing entitlements to and enjoyment of citizenship. Thanks CERTIZENS team and new friends and colleagues!

A Deakin Law School Deakin University legal academic has written this excellent primer on the likely illegality of removing encampments by force. theconversation.com/can-university…

I stand in support of the student encampment Deakin University and call on management to meet with protesters to discuss demands. Policing is a dangerous response. As intellectuals we should be capable of better ways of dealing with complexity than this.

Thanks to Shahram for leading this important piece - what are we waiting for? #Palestinian statehood. It's time.
