Abductions • The City in the Sun, Nairobi, has been transformed into an abduction zone, with vicious men seizing government critics and asylum seekers, says Taabu Tele. “Besides youth kidnapped, tortured and killed, some Turks were deported to Ankara and Ugandan opposition leader Kizza Besigye to Kampala.

Have a glorious day, won’t you!
