This is @Diplo_Jazz, the German Ambassador to Kenya, who is responsible for the match scheduled to take place in Nairobi between @AFCAjax and @FCBayern. He has refused to receive our petition seeking the cancellation of the match. Should we send greetings his way? who has his phone number?

Comrade @GermanyinKenya embassy refused to take our petition claiming that they have strict instructions from @Diplo_Jazz that any kenyan should not be allowed in the premises to present the petition. The security even went ahead to threaten us by bringing us a foreign security who told us to clear from the premises or else he will hold us incommunicado. Our rights under Article 37 was infringed. We are calling on to public at large to join as on Thursday to take this petition again to them. Hii shughuli inahitaji mbogi.

Andreas Almgren 🇸🇪 makes a stunning marathon debut, winning the New York City Marathon in 2:06:01! The Swede pulled away from Yemaneberhan Crippa 🇮🇹 over the final mile to seal the victory, with the Italian finishing 2nd in 2:06:14.

OPPOSITION DISASTER: I have just watched the videos of what happened to Kalonzo Musyoka at today's Linda Mwananchi event, and I have three things to say: one about Sifuna, one about Kalonzo, and one about the opposition. First, what happened was wrong. Very wrong. I can't..1/2

establish whether it was planned or whether Edwin Sifuna knew what was coming, but the incident raises serious questions. It looked like a trap Kalonzo walked into, and the opposition has paid the price. Whatever Kalonzo said, the crowd should have allowed him to finish. If they disagreed, they could challenge him afterwards. There was absolutely no need to humiliate him. Second, Edwin Sifuna is a great leader, and leadership comes with responsibility. Remember how Gachagua handled crowds in Ol Kalou when Ruto attended? Despite their political differences, he told people to allow the President to speak, finish, and leave peacefully. That is the kind of leadership expected of Sifuna. He should have pre-empted the situation before Kalonzo took the microphone. That said, his eventual intervention to calm the crowd deserves recognition. Third, our Kalonzo wasn't necessarily perfect either. Perhaps he should have read the room better. Perhaps there were things he could have left unsaid, even if he believed they needed to be said. But disagreeing with his remarks was never a licence to humiliate him. It wasn't. You don't do this to a leader like Kalonzo. I am saying this as an opposition supporter. We cannot claim to be building a united opposition while treating fellow opposition leaders this way. Sifuna's supporters must reflect on their conduct. Our Kalonzo team must reflect on everything that happened today. And the wider opposition must ask itself what kind of political culture it is creating. We cannot afford to win arguments against each other and lose the bigger political project. Whatever has happened has happened. The question now is whether we learn from it or allow it to become another permanent fault line in the opposition.
