Soft-spoken yet brash, calculated yet ebullient, Maina Njenga is a paradox of influence. His speeches, stripped of flair or flamboyance, are delivered with a laid back demeanour that still manages to rally followers into a wave of fervent allegiance. To some, he is a divisive figure, feared and loathed. To others, he is a beloved leader, respected and adored - a man whose loyal supporters would seemingly go to any lengths for him.

Kenya’s state security apparatus has found itself under intense international scrutiny amid a worrying surge in alleged state-sanctioned abductions, shrinking democratic freedoms, and human rights violations.

From the twelfth-floor apartment along Seifeddine El Khatib Street in Nasra, Beirut, Noreen Wacu watched in terror as an explosion a few blocks away sent plumes of grey smoke billowing into the sky. For weeks, she had clung to hope that the war brewing in the south would not creep into the Lebanese capital. But on this grim Sunday, reality struck. “It’s finally here,” she whispered in disbelief as chaos unfolded outside. Her masters had fled two days earlier, leaving her alone to guard their home.
