It was an honor to welcome President Kenyatta to the White House this afternoon. The U.S.-Kenya strategic partnership is essential to addressing key regional and global challenges — and I'm committed to further elevating our ties with Kenya and nations across Africa as a whole. pic.twitter.com/3Fn9po4yY8

I will not lie that there are no protests similar to this in Manhattan sometimes, though they are probably more along the lines of Santeria. That said, I wonder why Kenya is being cursed when the accused was wanted by Nigeria and is now being held in Nigeria:

IPOB protest in October 2021 at Kenya Embassy Madrid, Spain. Biafrans cursed Kenya today that If Mazi Nnamdi kanu is not release after his extraordinary rendition from Kenya to Nigeria that evil will befall Kenya, lseee! #FreeMaziNnamdiKanuNow #Extraordinaryenditionisa pic.twitter.com/WUsGeXzIjX

It does seem that beauty pageants are still very popular on the continent as a whole, Covid or not:

Ei nathi sithanda izinto. These US law enforcements should also arrest women who do this but it doesn’t help that home affairs officials can be easily bribed, marrying some of us without our knowledge. South Africa nje kuyanyiwa
