Episode notes

🚨 CRITICAL: Over 200 Kenyans have been recruited into Russia's military and sent to die in Ukraine. Some through deception. Some through desperation. All abandoned by the systems meant to protect them. Clinton Nyapara Mogesa from Kisii County left Kenya seeking work. He ended up in the Russian military. Then he ended up dead in eastern Ukraine—in a war that has nothing to do with Kenya. This is their story. This is how it happens. And this is what we can do to stop it. ⚠️ CONTENT WARNING: This episode discusses death in armed conflict. No graphic imagery is shown. Names of the deceased are used with dignity and respect.
