Africa’s population is growing, but our brands are vanishing. In 2025, only 11 of Africa’s most admired brands are African — down from 25 a decade ago. We’re becoming the world’s biggest market, not its makers. That should concern all of us. Thebe Ikalafeng

Kenyans chose Kenya as their favourite country brand. That tells us something powerful. People care. Deeply. National pride shapes identity, fuels ambition, and builds unity. Brand strength begins at home. Citizen TV Kenya Equity Bank Kenya Safaricom PLC Brand Africa Thebe Ikalafeng

I won't claim to be a security or governing expert; but I don't think one should publicize this as it emboldens the rogues. You should only announce this when they have been caught and crushed to never breathe again to send a decisive statement about the country's security
