The foreigner behind protests has a name: #ChangeNow
If you neglect your children while big bullies around you pluck the food from their hungry mouths, you are tempting your neighbour to influence them against you, which is bad but understandable. What matters is that it can be avoided, and for the better. ILLUSTRATION | JOSEPH NYAGAH | NMG
The last 10 days of July featured interesting events involving the youth of East Africa. On July 21, Kenya’s President William Ruto said enough was enough, thus officially losing patience with the Gen Z movement to whose demands he had earlier acquiesced by killing the Finance Bill that had sparked protests.
The president, who blamed the protests on foreign players, proceeded to appoint a new cabinet of “national unity” bringing in opposition figures, apparently reducing the economic/ accountability crisis to political power sharing.
