Really concerning - this is what authoritarian countries do. Should not be happening in #Australia

Kenya: there are not enough words to describe how terrifying this thread is.
Also a reminder - Last year the Daily Nation reported that there were more cases of extrajudicial executions and enforced disappearances in Kenya in 2021 than any other period in history. https://twitter.com/bonifacemwangi/status/1483026256794947586
I was tagged on quoted tweet last week by @JoelMbirika and l shared it with @HakiAfrica’s director @husskhalid. Khalid requested I accompany him to Yala today.

Damn straight. Public health has always been political. By definition. That’s the dirty secret of public health. Then there’s the commercialisation of healthcare.
Care is still a common good. @WHO hasn’t completely lost the plot —yet. https://twitter.com/adamkams/status/1482617526412623872
For >70yrs the @WHO & #publichealth community tried unsuccessfully to “de-politicise”health.
Can we finally just accept it isn’t possible?
Achieving & maintaining good health involves political choices & resource competition.
The answer is learn to do politics better.
@jennineak @SaraSalehOz I’m always astonished at just how close the parallels are. If you look at the press in the 1980s, pundits made the same arguments about not singling out one country, about boycotts hurting the oppressed, about ‘moderate’ leaders opposing the campaign blah blah blah
