The firing squad execution of a convicted military base shooter will not be livestreamed, US President Donald Trump announced Thursday, canceling a contentious plan by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

The move to livestream Nidal Hasan's execution was widely opposed at home and abroad, prompting outrage from both US Democratic and Republican politicians, the Catholic Church, rights groups and the United Nations.

The cancellation is a blow to Hegseth, who is already under fire over the stalemated Iran war and its fallout, which are weighing on the Republican Party's chances in upcoming midterm elections.

As we approach another election, Kenyan politics is beginning to resemble a giant negotiation table.

The ruling party is talking to its former opponents. Opposition leaders are talking to one another. Parties are exploring alliances, movements are finding their place, and political principals are working through who should lead, who should follow and who should carry the flag.

There are meetings about meetings, consultations about consultations, and negotiations over the terms of the next political arrangement.

In some political quarters in Kenya, the word Singapore is the flagmast of our developmental aspirations. President William Ruto, his political allies and members of his administration frequently use the analogy of Singapore to paint a picture of the desired destination in terms of development some time in the future.

As we approach 20 years of talking about improving or constructing a new modern international airport, Rwanda is just about to inaugurate its world-class airport constructed in partnership with aviation giants and experts like Qatar Airways. The airport located in Bugesera south of the capital Kigali is definitely going to eat Kenyaโ€™s breakfast.
