Since July 2022, 35 British soldiers in Kenya have paid for sex, according to a new inquiry I just obtained. It is likely much higher: 238 soldiers said they knew someone in the army who paid for transactional sex. The report considered "gating" British soldiers in to stop them.
Alex De Waal and Mulugheta Gebrehiwot warn of imminent and catastrophic new war between Ethiopia and Eritrea over the Port of Assab.
Pair call on the US to intervene to pre-empt a return to all-out war certain to engulf war-shattered Tigray.

A growing number of observers fear Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu, could fall to al-Shabab, al-Qaeda’s richest and most lethal affiliate. The fate of one the world’s oldest state-building projects hangs in the balance economist.com/middle-east-an…
Please, spare us the semantics…
This is a war of choice by your former boss, @HassanSMohamud
Instead of fighting Al-Shabab, he chose to attack the peaceful district of BeledHawo as he’s doubling down on another Raskamboni.
HSM has the blood 🩸 of our people on his hands.

Somaliland sent elders to resolve localised conflicts in east, conducted its own DDR without fanfare and without asking the world for a single penny.

Two days before his death, @SahanResearch's The Somali Wire team wrote a prescient commentary on Bantu Somali (Jareer Weyne) leader Gen Sheegow - prefiguring his death in prison and the political costs of injustice.

In community halls in Kawangware, Derrick Sajir ran lessons on sex ed, family planning, & gender-based violence, earning 750 Kenyan shillings a session ($5.80). He estimates that he has worked with thousands of young women in the area. Now, he is struggling to survive himself.
Every woman in Kawangware knows Janet Mukabwa. For mothers, some as young as 13, she is a mentor, and a crucial lifeline. Now, she can no longer provide referrals that helped to connect women with free health checks, access to drug rehabilitation programs & work opportunities.
NEW: In Kenya, HIV among women & girls is expected to spike following USAID cuts. In the slums of Kawangware, bursaries for girls to attend school, access to healthcare and reproductive education is now gone. Communities are already struggling to survive.

The tentative detente between Somalia and Ethiopia is hugely positive and has potential to defuse a year of dangerously high regional tensions.
But much will need to be done to sustain the momentum.
Eritrea and Egypt are lurking in the shadows and scheming to foil the thaw in…
With this ‘Remember Tigray VR’ about the CRSV in Tigray, we wanted to make sensitive the reality behind the figures and, what may seem like a paradox, use technology to rehumanize victims who, in a genocidal context, are precisely dehumanized.
As the #PretoriaAgreement marks its second anniversary, the scars of war remain in #Tigray. While some services have resumed, over 750,000 people remain displaced and humanitarian crises persist
