DAP-K party leader Eugene WamalwaDAP-K party leader Eugene Wamalwa wants US President-elect Donald Trump to withdraw its support to the Multinational Security Support Mission to Haiti. Wamalwa said Trump needs to revisit the deployment and allow Kenyan police officers to return home to combat criminal activities in the country. Wamalwa further asked the US to conduct an audit of funds allocated to the mission to ensure every dollar is properly utilised. In October 2023, the United Nations Security Council authorised a Multinational Security Support Mission to Haiti, after a request for assistance by the country’s government and civil society representatives. Between January and May this year, gang violence killed around 3,000 people and left over half a million homeless.

Which soft drink is better: Pepsi or Coke? There are those who are fanatics of Coke and think it is the superior beverage. Also, if you’ve EVER IN YOUR LIFE had food from McDonald’s and you get a Coke you will never have Coke like it is at McDonald’s. Yes, Taco Bell is a Pepsi beverage holder, while Wendy’s is a Pepsi beverage holder, McDonald’s is a Coke beverage holder, and I hate to say it, Coke has the superior beverages people. But to be honest, after two weeks, it became easier, and I can be around a Coke or Pepsi, and it doesn’t even phase me.

Dana White and Donald Trump are many things to each other, but they are not hydrohomies. Dana White on Trump: I've never seen him drink water, ever. I'm not saying he doesn't drink water, I'm just saying I've never seen it. I’ve never seen him drink water ... ever! Big Macs, Milky Ways, and Cokes.”It sounds like White tried to hook Trump up with some of his pal Gary Brecka’s superhuman protocol ideas, only to get shot down.

A demonstrator is arrested outside Parliament during Gen Z protests on June 25 /EZEKIEL AMINGAAn investigation by a global human rights lobby into the handling of the anti-government protests by security forces paints a horrific picture. Wanton arrests, killings and torture at the hands of police officers made demonstrators pay a heavy price in opposing the Finance Bill, 2024, the Human Rights Watch said. “The police acted outside of the law with lethal force that was disproportionate. In its probe, Human Rights Watch says it talked to journalists, protesters, Parliament staff and MPs who were either there on June 25, or viewed CCTV re cordings of events. About an hour before protesters stormed Parliament buildings, police shot at least six people dead along Parliament Road at the entrance to the Kenyatta Mausoleum and another two at the entrance to the Senate buildings, the lobby said.
