These endless abductions are a roguish blemish on all our states
Riot police officers ride horses as they attempt to disperse protesters demonstrating against what they say is a wave of unexplained abductions of government critics, along the Aga Khan Walk in downtown Nairobi, Kenya on December 30, 2024.
Watching Jeff Koinange’s weekly TV programme “JK Live” last Wednesday, I observed, once again, how different the media scene in Tanzania is from Kenya’s.
It is very rare in our country that anyone associated with officialdom accepts an invitation to a public conversation on a subject considered “sensitive,” and this was surely that, because it concerned the tricky question of abductions and enforced disappearances now common in our three countries, Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.
