Episode #19: Understanding the genesis of Kenya's deadly protests

Kenya has seen a deadly wave of street protests over the rising cost of living. The demos that often turned deadly were called by the opposition movement - Azimio Coalition over what they claimed was the government's high-handedness and insensitivity to the cost of living in the country. While we did not extensively cover these protests on Africa Blogging, I appeared on several international media channels including Times Radio (UK), Power 98.7 FM (South Africa) and News Central TV (Nigeria) to give updates and context to the crisis. In this episode, I have put together, a couple of those conversations. *The audios are courtesy of Power 98.7 FM & News Central TV

Episode #18: Challenging the Status Quo: The Ousmane Sonko Story

Senegalese opposition politician Ousman Sonko has risen fast to be a force to reckon with in the country's political landscape, drawing a huge support base from cities across the country with the capital Dakar as the bedrock of his cult-like following. Two weeks ago, Dakar witnessed an unprecedented spate of violence after Sonko was put on house arrest following a two-year prison sentence handed to him after being found guilty of a vague offence the courts call "Immoral Behavior." Africa Blogging Lead Editor, Daniel Ominde, speaks to Azil Momar, a Senegalese journalist about Ousman Sonko's political journey and the recent chaos in Dakar.

Episode #17: Africa Press Freedoms on Decline - A Focus on Ghana

According to the <a href="https://rsf.org/en/2023-world-press-freedom-index-journalism-threatened-fake-content-industry?data_type=general&year=2023" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">RSF 2023 Free Press Index</a>, journalism overall has become more difficult in Africa and the situation is now classified as “bad” in nearly 40% of its countries (compared to 33% in 2022). Several journalists have also been murdered in Africa, including Martinez Zongo in <a href="https://rsf.org/en/country/cameroon">Cameroon</a> ( which ranked 138th). In <a href="https://rsf.org/en/country/eritrea">Eritrea</a> ( which ranks 174th), the media remain under President <a href="https://rsf.org/en/protagonist-issaias-afwerki">Issaias Afwerki</a>’s despotic grip. While Ghana seemed to have risen places in the continent, globally it dropped two places from <a href="https://rsf.org/en/index?year=2022">60th</a> to 62nd place. Africa Blogging Lead Editor, Daniel Ominde, sat down with our Ghana contributor, <a href="https://blogging.africa/media-journalism/silencing-the-watchdog-press-freedom-in-ghana-on-the-decline/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Immanuel Obeng-Akrofi</a>, to put these numbers into perspective.
