Kenya’s position as a diplomacy powerhouse coming to bear at UN

These are indeed dire times on a global scale. We are all witnesses to the huge challenges humanity is facing. Autocratic regimes all over the world are becoming ever more ruthless against their citizens and foreigners alike. From Venezuela to China to Saudi Arabia, brutal rulers use the latest technologies not to improve the life, liberty and happiness of their citizens, but to spy on them and clamp down on behaviour that isn’t to the regime’s liking.

At the same time, liberal and democratic forces are also in trouble. The European Union is in the middle of a modern War of the Roses against Britain, and populism is on the rise across the continent. Affected first, as is just too often the case, are our African brothers on the continent.
