Comment: The source article by Peter Cox also erroneously claims the WMF financially support Women in Red ... which is how this article came to notice.
I have no issues with the article that seems to fully qualify. I think the hook could use improvement, but I'm okay as it is if you don't wanna mess with it. As an alternative, what about "...that after fleeing political violence in Nairobi, Catherine Omanyo's truck drive was killed by a mob while returning to the city?" PS, I'm relatively new to the DYK world. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 10:49, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
