Recent Highlights

One of the biggest stories this week is the legal action against a major fast‑food chain in the UK for harassment that included racism claims. Over 700 workers have joined the case, showing how workplace bias can cross borders and affect African migrants abroad.

In Kenya, a senior police officer stepped down after a blogger died while in custody. The incident sparked protests about police brutality and racial profiling, reminding us that state power often targets certain communities.

A land dispute in eastern Kenya has also turned into an ethnic tension flashpoint. Leaders warned that unresolved claims could spark broader security risks if racism fuels the conflict.

Sports aren’t immune either. A recent football match saw fans chanting racial slurs, prompting clubs to tighten their anti‑racism policies and launch education campaigns for supporters.

These examples illustrate how racism can appear in many forms—legal battles, government resignations, land fights, and stadium chants. Each story is linked to a deeper issue that needs attention.
