I’ve been in Argentina for a week. I haven’t seen a single black person

Kenya has officially removed visas for all Africans* and most Caribbean countries. No ETA, no forms, just show up. Karibu! *except Libya and Somalia

🇹🇿 “We’re locked inside like rats,” says man filming empty streets in Dar es Salaam after the Tanzanian government outlawed Independence Day protests and ordered people to stay indoors

“He was an only child,” his father cries. Meshack Okode weeps over the body of his son Vincent Otieno Ogutu, 40 who was killed at Kasarani Stadium during the viewing of the body of Raila Odinga. He is survived by a wife and 3 daughters

Speed is everywhere in Africa. And his backflips 😂

Kenyan president William Ruto announces that his government will stop abductions. He has always denied that anyone was getting abducted so will the 29 people who are still missing get released?

Billy Mwangi walked out of home in Embu to get a haircut. His barber says hooded men forced him into a car and sped off. He’s not been seen again. 6 days after President Ruto promised to end abductions in Kenya, dozens like Billy are still missing. Where are they?

New year, new promo, new format. An all-new African Voices premieres this weekend on CNN around the world. Yes, I have a whole show about positive African stories. Who should we feature next?

Pythons are sacred in the Vodun religion of Benin. They symbolize strength, fertility and protection. People sacrifice animals and confess their sins to the pythons

Cameroonians are about to re-elect Paul Biya for a record 8th term today. The world’s oldest president is 92 but his official pictures look waaaay younger. His own daughter asked people not to vote for him before walking it back

This is not my first rodeo

Senegalese team bus - with police escort - drove past us on the way into Rabat ahead of tomorrow’s final against Morocco

Niliblock huyu akikuja wrong side pale Ngong Road nikaambiwa niache kimbelembele na watu wa Facebook 😂

CNN photojournalist Fabien Muhire sprayed by police in Nairobi even though he’s clearly identifiable

This is the hotel where the body of South Africa’s ambassador to France was found. Nathi Mthethwa had checked into the 22nd floor a day earlier

Jana kwa kibanda ya ndege KRA wakiangalia ngotha za watu

I saw Ericsson Kyalo Mutisya dancing outside Parliament. He went live. 15 minutes later, he was shot dead. Police ignored his body. He just lay there as people walked past, his white overalls soaked in blood

Greetings from Bali, Indonesia 🇮🇩 I told him I’m from Kenya. He decided that it’s in Uganda 😂

Cool colleagues who hype you up like this 🥹 Thanks Elex Michaelson!

This is how authoritarians shut down criticism. I’ve seen this script many times, in many countries

It’s the 2nd day of a go-slow by air traffic controllers at Kenya’s busiest airport. Lots of stranded passengers as delays stretch for hours &amp; some flights cancelled to/from JKIA. When I landed yesterday, the union was meeting with the government in Nairobi. What happened?

BREAKING: Trump administration claims the Somali referee was denied entry because he is a security threat to the US with links to suspected terrorists. He was questioned for 11 hours, including about Al Shabab Omar Abdulkadir Artan just landed back in Somalia to a hero's welcome

I think America just broke the record for the largest fireworks display in history! It went on for 40 minutes and I want to see the budget for this 🤯

I haven't stopped thinking about a brilliant little girl named Faith that I met outside the Malawian consulate in Joburg. She was born in South Africa but her whole family is undocumented. Her dad - a gardener - said they were kicked out of their house and he lost his job

Isha Sesay had a baby on her own at 47 - without a partner - by IVF. "It's not a rejection of anyone, it's an embrace of my own autonomy." The former CNN anchor told me how her mom's stroke led her to becoming a Single Mother by Choice

BREAKING: South African police fire rubber bullets to disperse protesters looting a home live on CNN during anti-migrant march

All buses, trains, and trams are free in this country. For everyone! Luxembourg is unreal. When will your country have this?

Jonasi Gomora may be the most hated man on Netlix but the actor behind him S'dumo Mtshali doesn't mind that title. His co-star Gugu Gumede lost 53kg before she got the role of Joyce Gomora in The Polygamist

My village people have succeeded. Send help 😩

"You'll never see a Nigerian here taking drugs, it's only our people." Every South African marcher I interviewed over 2 days accused "illegal" foreigners of selling drugs. Here are two instances back to back while we were live on CNN

"Cyril Ramaphosa must go," banner says as marchers walk through downtown Johannesburg live on CNN. One South African protester who is married to a Congolese man told me why she's on streets: "We're tired of being given drugs," she claims

In Soweto ahead of tomorrow’s deadline for undocumented immigrants to leave South Africa

⚠️ Ebola is killing one person every 30 minutes in the DRC right now. This outbreak just became the deadliest in the country's history. 💉There are still no approved vaccines or treatments for the Bundibugyo virus even though case fatality ratio is approaching 50%

Ethiopian Airlines kicked out a passenger on my flight because a minister took her seat. They didn’t apologize and they eventually forcefully offloaded her screaming. The minister did nothing. Disgraceful

LIVE: Hundreds of Malawians camping outside their consulate in Johannesburg as the June 30 'deadline' for undocumented migrants to leave South Africa. They're relying on donations from neighbors and charities to eat and sleep in this winter cold

He's the first Zimbabwean to win a UFC fight but he wants nothing to do with the country, or his family. He has blocked them all. "If I die, burn my body and throw my dust at Kruger National Park," Themba Gorimbo told me. "Nobody in Zimbabwe supported me, not even my family."

watched South African police escort protesters without executing them for 2 days. Even when marchers started looting or vandalizing property, they responded with non-lethal force. Can police in Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda, and Tanzania learn from their counterparts here?

Africa Forward Summit was so chaotic that President Kagame was stranded outside at some point. Total’s Global CEO was also blocked, and was seen yelling at security. Some presidents &amp; dignitaries left without speaking as things spiraled. Kenya (or France?) dropped the ball bigly

Anthony Joshua's car was speeding and lost control while overtaking and rammed into a stationary truck, Nigerian authorities say. Two unnamed foreigners with him were killed. The British-Nigerian boxer posted a video playing table tennis with his personal trainer shortly before

Supporters of Jason Arday are demanding a public inquiry into the media coverage of the former Cambridge professor who died 9 days after his resignation over plagiarism allegations. "There cannot be any doubt that racism lay at the heart of this story," they say
