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?

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?
