Donald Trump claimed he would be a “dictator” on “day one.” His team has reportedly prepared more than 100 executive orders. He promised to close the U.S.-Mexico border, launch a mass deportation program, pardon Jan. 6 defendants, impose steep tariffs on foreign imports, bar schools that teach critical race theory from receiving federal funds and end the war in Ukraine — all within the first 24 hours.

We were warned that there would be ‘no guardrails’ if Trump won. But that is not true. We are the guardrailsThe next four years will be exhausting. An ageing, angry, erratic president branded a fascist by decorated generals will relentlessly spew falsehoods and hate, threaten violence against citizens and mass deportation of immigrants. But amid this onslaught, one need not feel powerless. Positive change will continue to be possible.
Donald Trump is not the only actor in this drama.

Many had hoped the wet season would bring much-needed relief for a region already reeling from its worst drought in 40 years. Instead, the heavy rains that lashed Kenya, Burundi, Somalia, Rwanda, and Tanzania have caused enormous destruction, with flash floods claiming more than 500 lives and displacing almost half a million people.
