POLITICAL UNREST
Fundraiser event at St. Stephen's ACK church in Kisumu didn't go well with section of political elite aligned to the government. Organized goons parade themselves outside ACK church, mainly to attack and maim James Orengo and Edwin W. Sifuna who were the guest of honor in the fundraiser.
This act of sponsoring and unleashing goons with different opinions is totally against ideals of ODM Party that Raila Odinga stood for decades before his untimely death. Kenya is slowly drifting into an abyss of anarchy.

This is totally unacceptable. You can't arm goons to attack individuals with divergent opinions. This is not democracy but total expression of dictatorship.

French bulldog Napoleon Bonparte never lost even single battle; but that dreadful Sunday, June 18th, 1815, he lost battle at place called Waterloo. I foresee, the same history is rewritten in 2027.

HONOR OF AFRICAN CHILD|THE DAY OF AFRICAN CHILD
The Day of the African Child is observed every year on June 16.It commemorates the 1976 Soweto Uprising in South Africa. On that day, thousands of Black school children marched in Soweto to protest being forced to learn in Afrikaans instead of their own language. Police opened fire on the students. Hundreds were killed, including 12-year-old Hector Pieterson.

Today, the African Union made it an official day in 1991 to:
1. Honor the Soweto children who fought for their right to education and freedom.
2. Reflect on children’s rights in Africa today - education, health, protection from violence, child labor, early marriage, et cetera.
3. Call for action by governments, parents, and communities to uphold the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child.

Each year, AU and UNICEF pick a new theme yearly. Recent ones have focused on:
• "Eliminating harmful practices affecting children"
• "Access to a child-friendly justice system"
• "Education for all children in Africa"

Basically, it’s a day to remember that African children’s voices matter, and to check if we’re actually protecting their rights.

EUROPE| SPAIN: GESTURE OF HUMANITY
In parts of Spain, citrus farms can produce more oranges than a family can consume or sell locally. Rather than allow surplus fruit to spoil on the ground, some farmers choose to share part of their harvest with the community. One simple and welcoming way they do this is by hanging extra oranges on roadside fences, making them easily accessible to travellers, cyclists, walkers, and anyone passing through the area.

In Africa, especially Kenya, when one does that, they connect it to politics. That politician A is doing this to convince voters to vote for him; he stole billions from either county or national coffers.

This kind of hypocrisy and unending jealousy won't help at all. What is difference between award of 2K by a politician and hanging of surplus oranges by farmers to share bounty harvest with community. It's the same thing that happens in Nuba Mountains, Southern Kordafan, Sudan.The bottom line is: always be empathetic and generous. No one eats physical development.
