1. Alors que les FARDC repoussent le M23 et gagnent du terrain en territoire de Masisi, les autorités Congolaises acceptent l’imposition d’un nouveau cessez-le-feu immédiat.
Cela décourage les militaires engagés au front et donne du temps précieux de réorganisation au M23. 2/9

Construction of Subways:
In many places around the world, it’s difficult to imagine life without subways. In fact, the first subway system opened on January 10, 1863, in what is now the London Underground subway station, using steam engines.
In many places around the world, it’s difficult to imagine life without subways. In fact, the first subway system opened on January 10, 1863, in what is now the London Underground subway station, using steam engines.
But the subway systems we all know and rely on didn’t just pop up along with the city. Detailed plans and careful construction helped develop the system that so many people know and love today. They may seem simple (they’re trains that drive through a tunnel underground).
Deep Bore;
The deep bore method uses a special tunnel-boring machine (called a TBM) to dig the subway tunnels without disrupting much of the above surface life. A TBM is inserted/lowered into a conveniently dug hole along the proposed subway line.

1)Still doubting M23 is a Rwandan rebel group attacking Congo?Get to know who is Bosco Ntaganda,a Rwandan born in #Kinigi,a war convicted criminal,nicknamed terminator,ex CNDP chief of staff,PFLC General Staff,linked with to M23,rebels all created by Rwanda.Member of 🇷🇼 RPF too
2)Whenever 🇷🇼 's RPF create a rebellion to invade a neighboring country,they search people who would be used as #agakingirizo(A condom)As condoms are thrown as garbage after use,Major Will Ngoma,a congolese,if M23 was to seize power in 🇨🇩,he would be thrown as a used condom in 🗑
3)When #RPF invaded Rwanda in 1990-1994,they had #udukingirizo(Condoms),meaning those #Hutu people to be used to portray a fake image of the rebellion.Real people behind the rebellion remain a secret,until u discover who they were when it's too late!Condoms are killed after war!
#Kenyan / #British / #Indian twitter - please boost! A Kenyan Asian family were evicted from their #Nairobi home (now demolished!) by a group of men who flashed a court order and threw belongings outside, #stealing some, after beating up the guard. Thread 🧵 #KenyaLandGrab
A British citizen who has lived in Kenya for 50 years was evicted suddenly from his home in suspicious circumstances on 4th November 2022, with valuable items being stolen. The house has been demolished now too! #KenyaLandGrab
An auctioneer by the name of Baraza + 30 people carrying crow bars and machetes descended on the property situated in Westlands at around 12:30pm. They broke in, climbing over the gate and through the neighbours fence and entered the compound. #KenyaLandGrab

El uso de documentación falsa, en visados y pasaportes, para tareas de #inteligencia terrorista o planificación de atentados ocurre en distintas partes del mundo.

Las inconsistencias por las listas de tripulantes y la irregularidad en la documentación de #AsanAzad pusieron el foco en un tema bastante común en la operatividad de grupos radicales u otros grupos terroristas.
1. En 2012 la detención de dos iraníes en Kenia con documentación sospechosa y, nada menos, que 15kg de explosivos no identificados, derivó en la condena del 2013 por comprobar la planificación de ataques sobre objetivos de Israel, EEUU, y Arabia Saudí en Kenia.

The fruits of Eureka and Lisbon are very similar. Vigorous and productive, trees and very thorny particularly when young.

1] Received the news of the demise of #Burundi #Pres #PierreNkuruzinza with mixed feelings.
Whereas i immediately felt compassion for his loved one, can't help but feel ashamed as an #African.
Like many others, his #Presidency captured what is wrong with #African #politics.

Many #Burundians were massacred for opposing his last term.
He had become obsessed with his #Presidency like many other #African despots.
Ofcourse #AU just watched.

#Burundi 🇧🇮 BREAKING: outgoing President Pierre #Nkurunziza has died of cardiac arrest.
In 2015/2016 Nkurunziza turned the country's fragile democracy into a de-facto authoritarian state by pursuing a 3rd term in office, killing hundreds of protesters who opposed the move

His wife is reportedly still in hospital in #Nairobi, fighting for her life

Re: the installation of a #Consul in Nairobi by the National Government.
Random questions.
[1] So who gets appointed to run matters? A political name we're familiar with? A no-name bureaucrat?
[2] Is this a quid pro quo deal?

[3] If one end of a quid pro quo deal is Gideon "Sonko" Mbuvi stepping out, what's on the other end of the deal? No prosecution? Dropping of some charges? A quiet retirement?
[4] The statement covers 4 units of the Nairobi County Govt: Health, Transport, Public Works, Planning.

It is VERY dangerous to look at the Sun directly using telescope binoculars or naked eyes. Looking at Sun's image projected onto a sheet of paper by a telescope is safe. There r a few public events by science centres etc in Africa where u can see #ToM2019 safely (pic @samyukta_m)
