Rwanda & Kenya: Two East African Countries, Two Incumbents Presidents, Two New Mandates.

As Early as 4 am on the 4th August, 2017; the Rwandans in some rural areas were starting to form the lines in front of the electoral offices, most of them being the oldest.

The mood was the same among them: "Tujye Gutora Muzehe Wacu"-"Let us go vote for our Elder".

Not later that the social media started to flock with inked thumbs together with the hashtag #rwandadecides.

Tech Will Get In Bed With Trump

The tech industry didn’t always see eye-to-eye with the Obama administration on surveillance and encryption, but that didn’t stop the industry from developing a remarkably close relationship with the White House during the Obama years. White House staffers like former press secretary Jay Carney and former senior advisor David Plouffe landed high-profile jobs at tech companies like Amazon and Uber, while former Google employees, such as corporate attorney turned patent office director Michelle Lee, found jobs in the federal government. According to information analyzed by The Intercept, Google’s lobbyists met with the White House employees 427 times in between January 2009 and October 2015.
