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

Speed is everywhere in Africa. And his backflips 😂

“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

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?

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?

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

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?

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

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

This is not my first rodeo

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

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

Jana kwa kibanda ya ndege KRA wakiangalia ngotha za watu

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

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 😂

Bado niko hapa

"Kenya is not an American colony!" Protesters chanted as they brought an Ebola coffin to the health ministry

CNN source: Americans arrived in Laikipia Airbase yesterday as plans for US Ebola isolation facility go ahead despite court order. Current US &amp; Kenya governments - both Trump &amp; Ruto administrations - have a history of ignoring court rulings they don't like

"Why do Americans think that their lives are more important than the lives of Kenyans?" My CNN report on the public opposition to an Ebola isolation facility for Americans in Kenya

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

BREAKING: Angry locals tried to forcibly take the body of man believed to have died of Ebola in northeastern DRC. 2 tents treating patients were set on fire. Some believe that Ebola is a "white man's disease" though it often spreads at funerals. Uganda has suspended DRC flights

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

Why did France summon 30+ African leaders to Nairobi? I asked the Zambian president Hakainde Hichilema and this was his response

Would an African president shut up a noisy audience in France the way Macron did in Nairobi? Some Africans are outraged about the French president's paternalistic tone. But some praise him for showing leadership. Was it rude, or was it the right thing to do?

What did the African leaders in Nairobi think of the French summit? Was it useful? I asked Ghanaian President John Mahama as he walked out of a session. PS: Security tried to push me away (just doing their job) but he recognized me and agreed to walk and talk

Sabastian Sawe didn't break the 2-hour marathon barrier just because of the Adidas "supershoe." He's a damn good athlete. These East Africans all are. I had to tell the whole world on CNN. Everyone be guided. Thanks for your attention to this matter!

Many Africans love President Trump's conservative values and straight talk. I said that on CNN and some accused me of lying. Africa is not a monolith, of course, but I travel around it full time and I meet more Trump fans than haters. Where do you stand?

Uganda is distancing itself from the Ebola outbreak in the DRC, pointing out that the 2 confirmed cases are both Congolese nationals. Why are there so many Ebola outbreaks in Congo? Some people eat fruit bats, experts say

⚠️3 people have died and 149 people are stranded on a cruise ship off the West African island nation of Cape Verde after a suspected hantavirus outbreak onboard. The virus jumps to humans from rodents like rats and mice and causes severe respiratory illness or kidney disease. What happened?

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."

Happening now: France hosts its first Africa summit in an English-speaking country after a wave of coups &amp; rejection in its former colonies. President Macron ran with Kenyan marathon legend Eliud Kipchoge, and addressed the anti-French sentiment in West Africa - in English

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

Africa should not have to choose from France or Russia or China, “we should be receptive to all,” Nigerian billionaire Tony Elumelu told me at Africa Forward Summit. He welcomes all investment as long it’s on “mutually beneficial terms,” he says

EXCLUSIVE: Desperate African men tell CNN they were lured by Russia into the war in Ukraine using promises of well-paying civilian jobs. But they were forced into the frontlines with little/no training, facing drones &amp; racism. "You escape or you die." ⚠️Story is hard to watch

Andrew Ochieng’ could not find Luo books to teach his daughter the language so he wrote them “Wapuonjre Dholuo.” So proud of him for doing this for the culture. Inyalo nyiewo ka in Kenya kata loka. Nyithindi ong’eyo Dholuo?

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

CNN source: Americans arrived in Laikipia Airbase yesterday as plans for US Ebola isolation facility go ahead despite court order. Current US & Kenya governments - both Trump & Ruto administrations - have a history of ignoring court rulings they don't like
