Kenya Police in Haiti had a momentary scare on Wednesday after an armoured truck they were travelling in broke in the middle of Haiti’s capital Port-au-Prince. The incident which happened in the middle of a gang-infested region occurred during Kenya’s first engagement with gangs in the Caribbean nation. Before Wednesday, Kenyan police who had been deployed to Haiti had been confined to guarding critical infrastructure and patrolling the streets without making contact with the gangs. Immediately the military truck broke down, and mechanics within the police ranks quickly swung into action and started repairing the truck. This was the first exchange of live fire since Kenya deployed officers to Haiti last month and came a day after Kenya deployed a second contingent to the Caribbean nation.

The latest twist is President Joe Biden has COVID and is isolating at home. This was a time before COVID vaccines, before specific COVID treatments and before we knew as much about COVID as we do today. It was very clear early in the pandemic that your chances of getting severe disease and dying increased with age. Remember, former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson ended up in the ICU with his COVID infection in April 2020, despite being 55 at the time. But the threat COVID poses to an individual is far less now than it has ever been.

The ongoing demonstrations have had a significant financial impact on Kenya, with the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) reporting a revenue loss of Ksh 6 billion.

"According to Kenya Revenue Authority, the country has lost Ksh 6 billion because of the demos," Mwaura stated.

I am appealing to the youth to reflect on what is happening in some of our neighbouring countries like Sudan, so disheartening and sad,” he regretted.

Opinion is almost equally divided amongst Kenya’s Gen Z on their motivation to participate or snub the nationwide anti-government protest.

The majority of those who participated in the protests (54 per cent) cited job loss or unemployment as the motivating factor.

Trump joins a not-so-exclusive club of U.S. presidents, former presidents and presidential candidates who have been the target of bullets. Given the near mythic status of U.S. presidents, and the nation’s superpower role, political assassinations strike at the very heart of the American psyche. It was after McKinley’s assassination that the U.S. Secret Service was given the job of providing full-time protection to presidents. Even though he had been shot, Roosevelt went on to make a campaign speech with the bullet still in his chest. Like Trump, most assassination attempts occur when candidates and politicians are in public spaces with crowds of people nearby.
