"We're actually our own problems!" ๐ท๐ผ President Kagame is frustrated with his fellow African leaders who talk too much but don't implement what they agree on.
"The systems are so bureaucratic that you'd imagine they live in a different world," he told me in Abidjan

In a formal gesture of gratitude ,the East African Court of Justice (EACJ) @EACJCourt management team, led by the Acting Registrar and Court Administrator, @ChrisMutimuraW, today paid a courtesy visit to the EAC Secretary General, @SGNduva. The team expressed their appreciation to the SG for her outstanding support during the 3rd Annual Judicial Conference, held in Kigali, Rwanda, from 18โ19 February 2025.
In recognition of her pivotal role in the conferenceโs success, the team presented a commemorative plaque to H.E. Nduva.
They further deliberated on the state of the region and on strengthening inter-organ collaboration.
H.E. Nduva reaffirmed her support to the EACJ and reiterated her commitment to continued collaboration.
๐นThe 4th Annual EACJ Judicial Conference, which will bring together legal experts, policymakers, academics, media, and judicial officers to discuss key issues surrounding justice and governance in the region, is set to take place in Nairobi, Kenya, in early 2026.

This is a devastating account of the June 25th murders outside Kenyaโs parliament. Curdles the blood. Great journalism from BBC Africa Eye. youtu.be/qz0f1yyf_eA?si=52rDโฆ

The image is a great example of the Mercator effect, which happens because the Mercator projection stretches the map more and more as you move away from the equator.
This means places like Russia or northern Europe look much bigger than they really are, while areas near the equator, like Africa, actually get squished and look smallerโeven though Africa is way bigger in real life.
So, on this map, Africa looks about the same width as Russia, but in reality, Africa is much largerโit's just the map making things look weird because it's trying to flatten a round Earth onto a rectangle.

Grace is not always met with gratitude, and thatโs OK. Some are given chances they never earned, offered dignity, opportunity, even forgiveness. Yet they respond with bitterness.
Thatโs not confusion. Thatโs clarity. Believe it!

This rare white tea, harvested with care by women farmers in Assam, India, invites you to slow down, sip slowly, and embrace the subtleties of life.
The floral notes and airy finish make it perfect for mindful mornings or reflective evenings.

Kwibuka 31 โ We Remember. We Speak.
This image carries more than a scar โ it carries memory, truth, and resilience.
I was 11 years old during the Genocide Against the Tutsi.
What I saw, what I survived, and what I lost can never be forgotten.
But through pain, I found my voice again.
And through my book A Broken Life, I chose to speak for myself, and for others who cannot.
As a survivor and an author, I carry the past, but I also write the future.
Let us remember. Let us honor.
Let us speak, heal, and rise โ together.

โNot all battles are fought for victory. Some are fought simply to tell the world that someone was there on the battlefield.โ

I once asked Pheroze Nowrojee why they kept challenging President Moi's authoritarian actions in Court in the 1990s when it was clear they would loose every time. He said:
"For the record! Nothing is more powerful in history than the record."

๐ The EAC, in solidarity with the Government and people of the Republic of Rwanda, will commemorate the 31st Anniversary of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi on 7th April 2025.
This annual commemoration serves as a solemn reminder of the atrocities committed in Rwanda from April to July 1994 and reinforces the collective responsibility of the international community to combat genocide and its ideologies.
In 2014, the United Nations and the African Union designated 7th April as a day of remembrance for the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.
This year, the EAC stands united with the Republic of Rwanda and the international community to honour the victims and promote a culture of tolerance and peaceful coexistence across the East African region.
The EAC will host several activities, including a Walk to Remember, the Lighting of the Flame of Hope and the laying of a wreath at the Monument for the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi at the EAC Headquarters.
The commemoration will bring together leaders and staff from EAC Organs and Institutions, Arusha Region authorities, regional and international organisations based in Arusha, students, and representatives from various religious denominations.
The event is expected to be graced by the Arusha Regional Commissioner, the EAC Secretary General and other dignitaries.
Together, let us remember, reflect, and reaffirm our commitment to preventing such atrocities in the future.
