Episode 3: Under the Mask Episode 3: COVID in Kenya: Curfews, Conflict, and Corruption
The finale of AFSC’s “Under the Mask” series focuses on Kenya, where a history of police abuse and election violence have left a country with a great deal of disunity. As the international community continues to grapple with COVID-19, countries like Kenya are exploiting the pandemic to promote repressive laws—including a Dusk to Dawn curfew—and fueling fragmentation and corruption.
Journalists Bilal Qureshi and Marisa Mazria Katz talk with AFSC’s Kerri Kennedy, Kennedy Akolo, and Pauline Kamau as well as journalist Michael Kaloki about the political environment in Kenya today and the potential for change. Brought to you by the American Friends Service Committee, a Quaker organization working for peace and justice in communities around the globe.
