Mental Acrobatics breaks the news: “Earlier today part of the Kroll report on corruption in Kenya was leaked to the whistler blowers’ site WikiLeaks.”
Glenna Gordon interviews Paul Sika from Ivory Coast about his work: “I first came across Paul Sika's photos on the blog Africa is a Country and was immediately transfixed by how he transformed scenes that seemed so familiar to me into something brilliantly technicolor and radiant. I emailed him last week and asked a few questions and he was kind enough to fill me in with a little bit of information about his work for Context Africa.”
Sci-Cultura writes about African film: “Anyone who’s read the recent posts on this blog will know that I am enthralled, intrigued and besotted by the use of film as a medium to convey stories. This year has been good for raising the awareness of Kenya in the world of film. This time, not just as a location for big shot movies like Out of Africa, The Constant Gardener, etc., but more importantly for Kenyan creativity and talent in making films.”
AFWMNCIN discusses the evolution of Senegalese women in the film industry: “Throughout the 1970s and 1980s Safi Faye was the lone woman filmmaker in Senegal. New faces were visible in the 1990s with the emergence of Adrienne Diop, Mariam Kane Selly, Rokhaya Diop, Aissaou Laba Touré and Kady Sylla; all producing documentaries about aspects of Senegalese life and culture. Safi Faye’s strikingly beautiful Mossane is among the works produced during this dynamic and energetic decade.”

The Kibaki administration has failed us in more ways that none of us ever imagined.We voted them in on two strong grounds; the new constitution and the rooting out of corruption but then, this is a dream miles away from fruition.The assets stowed away cant be recovered by a goverment enjoying the support of the former president who was at the helm of the evils.We need prayers if not a dictator or else ours is a dead country where those who come into power will continue enriching themselves at our expense, the true wealth owners in Kenya.
Well, since President Kibaki wants to be re-elected i think he should came up and tell us how long he will deliver a new consititution this time, after not being able to do it in 5 years. Saying that he has done a good job is not good enough, that was his responsiblity.
Who would believe that Kibaki and Moi would go to bed 5 years down the road. This goes to say that these politicians are same corrupt individuals interested only in their survival, wanjiku is the old stupid Kenyan who would never see the difference between the sheep and the wolf.
Kenya’s saviour is in Raila, Please vote him in
