Advocate Abshir Abdi was abducted in broad daylight by armed goons who call themselves ATPU headed by Said Kiprotich, the same man who abducted me from my house at dawn on February 2, 2018.
Mr. Abdi must be released immediately or produced in court. There is absolutely no justification for abducting a Kenyan and detaining him incommunicado. If the state has evidence of any alleged crimes, it wouldn’t be pretending that it doesn’t know Abdi’s whereabouts.
Mr. @WilliamsRuto, @kipmurkomen, Raymond Omolo and mandarins at the @PoliceKE must understand that no one is above the law.

The @LawSocietyofKe has massively improved and we are seeing good pressure to get our own back.
We must sustain this pressure by coming out every day. I suggest that just as it has been previously, the LSK should come up with a schedule of daily activities. Starting with marches to and from court every day.
We must also have an escalation plan such that if our colleague is not released by next week, we take it up a notch.
It cannot be that any Kenyan, leave alone an advocate can be taken and held incommunicado for 10 days now and counting and nobody seems to be in any particular hurry to bring him home.
In whose hands are we safe?

This is now solidarity. This is how to send a message.
Hoping that we can come out large tomorrow until Wakili Abshir is free.

Activist Walid Sketty has accused the government of abducting people in Coast, alleging that authorities are avoiding proper investigations and denying families answers about their missing relatives. He questioned why those suspected of wrongdoing are not investigated and presented in court.

And the West through UAE have now sponsored a genocide in Sudan.
Silence is not just betrayal. Silence is complicity. Silence is an OK.
Africans MUST unite and speak for Sudan and Congo.

The case for citizens to respond with armed force against abductors. They should kill them & burn their posh cars. Hunt the rest like a whole village hunts a wolf!
“Three vehicles carrying armed men arrived at around 11:30 p.m., broke into our house in Kambi Samaki and took away our father. The men were wearing balaclavas,” – , son of the abducted businessman, Enock Chebon Chelimo , recounts how his 68-year-old father, a businessman and livestock trader, was abducted by armed, masked men.

Rest in peace to our brothers and sisters in Christ in Sudan as the world looks away 💔😔 they are being persecuted and killed for the same God that we worship and he is the same God that calls us to stand with with them as they suffer and rejoice when one rejoices in 1 Corinthians 12:26.
Don't ignore the same body of Christ you claim to be apart of 🔥

I am just being informed that on Thursday, 12th November 2026, Kilimo Cha Haki will be presenting the final submissions on the petition challenging the Seeds and Plant Varieties Act at the High Court, Kisumu. This is the murderous act seeking to criminalize indigenous seeds for GMOs. Kilimo Cha Haki is calling for your solidarity on Thursday.

The Constitution Making Process:
Prof. Yash Pal Ghai understood that constitutional reform required the difficult work of bringing people together.
His efforts to bridge the divide between the Ufungamano initiative and the parliamentary-led review process reflected his commitment to dialogue and inclusion. He worked to bring competing voices into a shared process to shape Kenya’s constitutional future.
We celebrate his patience, persistence and belief that disagreement could be worked through in pursuit of a common purpose.

Since my abductions, I have carried wounds no eyes can see and pain words cannot fully explain. The fear, the trauma, the sleepless nights remain. But I am still standing. They may have wounded my body, but they will never silence my conscience or bury the truth. I refuse to bow.

The judgment day in the case of Brian Odhiambo has officially been set for November 26, 2026.
We are calling on all human rights defenders and everyone who has stood by this journey to come out and support the family as we await accountability.
Your solidarity matters now more than ever.

🚨 Oromia Region Gadaa Commando forces killed at least 78 Amhara civilians and displaced over 120,000 across Wollega in 24 hours
According to Ethio Focus News, widespread attacks against Amhara civilians across East Wollega and Horo Guduru Wollega zones, Oromia Region, have intensified over the past few days. At least 78 civilians have been killed and approximately 120,000 Amhara residents displaced within 24 hours, amid attacks by Oromia Region Gadaa Commando and other regional forces operating in the area.
In Kiremu Woreda, 46 civilians were killed, including Abushi Worke, a young mobile phone repair technician. Only 16 victims have been buried, while the bodies of 30 others remain uncollected due to ongoing fighting and security threats. Another 21 civilians were killed in Gida Ayana Woreda, while 11 were killed in Tulgana Town, Abe Dongoro Woreda.
In Kiremu Town, an unspecified number of detainees have disappeared after being taken from detention during nighttime operations. Approximately 400 people have been imprisoned there for more than two years, with those remaining in custody facing serious threats to their safety.
Residents of 17 predominantly Amhara kebeles in Kiremu Woreda have been displaced, with approximately 120,000 people fleeing their homes during the latest wave of violence, leaving displaced families stranded in forests without adequate food, shelter or medical assistance.
In Abe Dongoro Woreda, Oromia Region Gadaa Commando forces have been carrying out attacks and killings against displaced Amhara civilians sheltering in Tulgana and surrounding communities. Residential homes have been burned, while a Muslim civilian seeking refuge inside a mosque was killed and copies of the Holy Quran were set on fire.
The latest displacement adds to more than 260,000 people previously uprooted across the affected areas, with the overall displaced population estimated to be approaching 500,000. Residents of Fit Boko Kebele in Limu Gelila Woreda also face growing threats of looting and further violence.
🚨 Death toll from @AbiyAhmedAli regime drone strike surpasses 30 as wounded Amhara IDPs die without medical care; video shows mother who lost both legs in attack
On November 7th, 2026, the Ethiopian Air Force carried out successive drone and helicopter strikes against displaced Amhara civilians sheltering in Wodesadima Kebele, Gida Kiremu Woreda, East Wollega Zone, Oromia Region. More than 30 civilians were killed, including children and elderly people, while numerous others sustained critical injuries.
A video from the area shows an Amhara mother who lost both legs in the attack. The strikes began at approximately 4:30 PM and continued in successive waves, with additional attacks reportedly targeting civilians attempting to retrieve the dead and rescue those wounded in the initial bombardment.
The victims had been displaced from Ali, Andode Dicho, Fedeqa, Meleketa and other communities across Gida Ayana and Gida Kiremu woredas following earlier attacks by Oromia region security forces. They had sought refuge in Wodesadima after a period of relative calm, despite severe shortages of food, shelter and medical assistance.
The death toll has surpassed 30 as critically wounded survivors continue to die from severe blood loss without access to medical treatment. Healthcare facilities in the surrounding area have been destroyed by Oromia region Gadaa Commando, while roads leading to Anger Gutin, Nekemte, Gida and Kiremu remain blocked. Medical personnel have also been prevented from treating the wounded, while several civilians who fled the bombardment remain missing.
The attack follows an October 29th drone strike on displaced Amhara civilians at Turku Camp near Hayk Town, South Wollo Zone, Amhara Region, which killed approximately 25 civilians and critically injured more than 40 others.
Nekemte Airport in Guto Gida Woreda has also been identified as an operational base for Ethiopian military drones, helicopters and fighter jets conducting airstrikes across East Wollega Zone.
