Kenya Stockholm Blog

https://kenyastockholm.com
Kenya Stockholm Blog is a long‑running diaspora news and opinion outlet dedicated to Kenyans living in Stockholm and the wider Kenyan community. Active since 2006 and managed by Kenyan writer Okoth Osewe, the Stockholm‑based publication covers politics, migration, community disputes, bereavements and cultural life through reported pieces, debates, commentary and video. It invites reader submissions—while rejecting anonymous or libellous material—and keeps firm editorial control to maintain a clear agenda. The outlet states an openly progressive stance on Kenyan politics. Beyond daily posts, it maintains “KSB Files,” rolling dossiers that track sensitive community cases over time. These files have documented the James Wuod Maggero controversy; alleged land grabbing linked to Kenya’s embassy residence in Stockholm; the death of embassy official James Kiboi; and the murder of Juliet Kavinga, among others. It also publishes community notices and event announcements for Kenyans in Sweden. With archives stretching back nearly two decades and more than 4.7 million page views, Kenya Stockholm Blog functions as both watchdog and bulletin board for Kenyans abroad, especially those navigating life in Scandinavia. Its mix of reportage, advocacy and occasional satire reflects a free‑speech ethos: to inform, challenge and connect a scattered community with each other—and with events at home.
