KENYA MOURNS RAILA ODINGA

Kenya is mourning the passing of former Prime Minister Raila Amolo Odinga, who has died at the age of 80 while receiving treatment in India. For over four decades, Raila stood at the heart of Kenya’s political story — a freedom fighter, reformist, and one of the most consequential figures in the nation’s democratic journey. To help us reflect on Raila Odinga’s enduring legacy, his political journey, and what his death means for Kenya’s democracy and the region, I’m joined live from Nairobi by Professor Macharia Munene, a respected historian and scholar of international relations at the United States International University–Africa (USIU).
