We’re at #AIJC2026 in Nairobi!
For the next three days, Thraets is connecting with investigative journalists to exchange ideas on OSINT, information integrity and opportunities for collaboration ahead of Kenya’s 2027 election.
At the conference? Find @Mablees and let’s talk!

Ebola has reached Kenya and Nigeria via travellers from eastern DRC who passed through Uganda. Uganda has no active cases but still faces US entry restrictions. Kenya, with nine cases, got an advisory. The map of fear still ignores the map of the virus:

Before you block someone who's harassing you online, save the evidence. Screenshot with the date, time and sender visible. Copy the link. Back up voice notes and files. Write down what happened. Then decide whether to block or report. thraets.org/behind-the-scree…

Congratulations to our Research Assistant

That's a wrap on Cohort 2 of the @thraets/ COSI (Center for Open Source Intelligence) OSINT training! 🎉
This time we went fully online, and it brought together 15+ participants from eight countries: Kenya, Nigeria, Malawi, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Somalia, South Sudan and Zimbabwe, plus colleagues working across the Southern Africa region.
Across the sessions, participants built open-source intelligence skills to investigate, verify and document what they find online, and learned from each other's contexts, from East and West Africa to the Horn and Southern Africa.
Running it online showed us that distance doesn't have to be a barrier to building investigative capacity across the continent. Thank you to every participant for your time, curiosity and hard work, and to the trainers who made it happen.
We're already looking forward to hosting Cohort 3. Watch this space!

Africa needs researchers. We recently concluded our first OSINT training cohort at THRAETS with support from Luminate. Over 3 days, participants engaged with foundational internet research tools & methods. We’re grateful to our first cohort. Looking forward to the next one.
