Essential The Africa the Media Doesn't Tell You About

Yea he is gone it's a matter of time unfortunately people will die because protestors have been heavy since the end of last year. He took on an opponent bigger than the opposition in that country which is the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church is everywhere in that country from big cities to the most remote of villages and the #1 Catholic (Cardinal Mosengwo) is a one of Pope Francis' closest advisers. The Catholic Church has created a momentum that the opposition was not able to do it. People are getting more radical and starting to be fearless on the ground.

With continued protests which will come with heavy repression, he won't stand Kinshasa is 11 million people 10% of that in the streets it's over. The other parts of the country are not as militarized and the Church is heavy everywhere so it's only a matter of time.

If what you're saying is true than this is true people power.

Thousands of people in Kenya are getting basic income for 12 years in an experiment that could redefine social welfare around the world.

• Across dozens of Kenyan villages, thousands of people are enrolled in an experiment that gives them nearly double their normal income for up to 12 years.
• The experiment is testing "universal basic income," an idea for reducing poverty that establishes an income floor.
• GiveDirectly, the charity running the experiment, will analyze spending data to learn how basic income affects factors like quality of life and gender equality.
• Basic income advocates think the study could transform how governments around the world think about social welfare.

WESTERN KENYA — In a Kenyan village, cows with visible ribs saunter in the fields, here and there bowing their heads to graze. The countryside is sprawling, dry, and, above all, poor.

Gathered at a community meeting in October 2016, villagers listened as a representative from the charity GiveDirectly announced its plans to give everyone a standard salary just for being alive. The payments were part of a system known as universal basic income, or UBI. GiveDirectly's was about to become the largest such experiment ever conducted.

Fourteen months since the study launched, GiveDirectly says it has anecdotal evidence that UBI is reducing poverty and that some of the biggest concerns about giving people free money are unfounded.

And while critics contend that basic income encourages people to form bad habits, people in GiveDirectly's village more often rebuild their roofs and pay for their kids' education than quit work and let their lives waste away.

A once radical idea, UBI is taking hold in nearly a dozen countries and cities worldwide.

If recipients in GiveDirectly's Kenyan village demonstrate that the UBI model can work, governments watching the experiment may start rethinking their social-welfare policies and, with the right supplemental research, enact basic-income programs that could lift billions of people out of poverty.

People are poor because they have no money. It took social scientists centuries to figure this out.

This is such a stupid socialist experiment.
What a waste of money. Couldn't they atleast spread their experiment across the country for more conclusive results.
Why is this article saying that Western Kenya is dry, there is no such thing, its always extremely wet and humid all year over there. I am sorry to say this but the problem here is cultural. Its been studied and documented that communities that have a long history of farming are more hard working and better at saving & patiently planning for the future due to the complex seasonal process of agriculture. People from western Kenya around Lake Victoria have some of the best fertile land but they for centuries only rely on easy fishing by throwing nets into the lake and smoking Ugandan weed all day.
I visited that region once, I have never seen so many people sleeping in the middle of the day. It was like a tornado of tsetse flies just blew through. I am feeling sleepy now just thinking of that place. It is impossible to starve there. These are by far the fattest Kenyans, destroying our slim and athletic reputation. That's where all Diasporan royalty's favourite big booty instathot butters come from.

In theory, this should be good. But after this 10 or 15 years is over, then what? Is the government going to be in the position to take over? Will there be Kenyan jobs for these people to go to when it's done? Or are they just going to be addicted to free cash and riot when the well goes dry? What's really the end goal here?
