Kenya: Security Forces Blamed for Rise in Forced Disappearances

20 Jun 2022  |  Institute for War & Peace Reporting
The article discusses the alarming rise in cases of enforced disappearances in Kenya, particularly among young Muslim men. It highlights the disappearances of three minibus drivers on the highway near Maungu and the involvement of human rights organizations like Haki Africa and Missing Voices in documenting these cases. The article suggests that these disappearances may be connected to counter-terrorism operations by security forces. It also covers instances where public outcry has led to the release of abducted individuals, such as scholar Abdiwahab Sheikh Abdisamad and lawyer Hassan Nandwa. Mvita lawmaker Abdulswamad Nassir criticizes the government's approach and calls for adherence to legal processes. The Kenyan government denies involvement, with police spokesman Bruno Shioso stating that the police operate within the law. The article also references Kenya's constitution and international treaties related to enforced disappearances.

17 Apr 2022  |  RFI
The article focuses on the lives of waste collectors at the Dandora dumping site in Nairobi, Kenya. Sharon Atieno and Benjamin Muema are highlighted as individuals who have turned to waste collection to make a living. Despite the harsh conditions, they manage to earn enough to support themselves and their families. The waste collectors feel neglected by politicians and believe that the cartels controlling the site are the main beneficiaries of the waste business. There are also concerns about the site's relocation, which has been opposed by various parties. The article suggests that a recycling plant could provide a more sustainable solution and benefit the local community, including the waste collectors. The story was featured on RFI's Africa Calling podcast.

The incident highlighted the challenges faced by the Kenyan agricultural sector, including low yields, post-harvest losses, and the inability to meet international standards. The article calls for action from the Ministry of Agriculture, the National Potato Council of Kenya, and the Kenya Bureau of Standards to ensure the quality of local potatoes and to support farmers in meeting both local and international market demands.
