Am a shamed that we still have leaders who will not give in their selfish needs for the sake of peace. What is leadership if your people are being killed, whats the need for a president if can not guarantee safety? Why are we fighting our neighbors, former classmates, our inlaws etc just because they dont speak same language like us? What is "US" anyway? Aren't we all Kenyans? ...kenyaonlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00851038392704474718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12839785.post-83243415157518147272008-01-27T18:32:00.000-08:002008-01-27T18:32:00.000-08:00I think this is out of our control now.We are unlu...I think this is out of our control now.We are unlucky to have received this much attention.Ivory Coast did not and I have not seen Jendayi Frazer spend five days in one African country in a while.Washington, London and Tel Aviv interests seem to have taken precedent over aspiration, ambitions and desires as nation.They need him in power to fullfill some missions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12839785.post-20101275074142072912008-01-27T15:11:00.000-08:002008-01-27T15:11:00.000-08:00All of a sudden Ali is quiet.

And the truck loads of GSU with sophisticated gear that were sent to crush down protests are now not being sent to Nakuru and Naivasha to bring calmness.

The police are watching, It will never be the same again. For one month, I have not had any good news from Kenya. <BR/>Just because someone decided to rig so unprofessionally.

I feel very strongly that this anarchy has nothing to do with the elections. This is deep rooted. The sooner we get to the bottom of the problem, the better for all of us. Lets forget about the idiots we call poiliticians, they havent seen a problem outside their personal ambition and egos. Lets think about our children growing up with the hared started by a generation most of who are not here to see the results of their policies and actions. This is the time for all of us to pull together in truth, reconciliation and finally healing. <BR/><BR/>May the Lord bless this country.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12839785.post-2321709648678699952008-01-27T10:00:00.000-08:002008-01-27T10:00:00.000-08:00Bwana Ritch, i share your burden of grief, pain, s...Bwana Ritch, i share your burden of grief, pain, sorrow and anguish. Its not illogical or inadvisable for many others just like us to be feeling the way we all do-<BR/>I feel that at the appropraite time, all the dearly departed election victims will deserve at the very least a whole week of national mourning, sober reflection and a the dawning of a new day in Kenya as a vow we the living will make in promise that their deaths are not in vain<BR/>but i refuse to give up hope no matter how stupid our politicians holding the lives of the country at ransom appear to be-even the dumbest oldest dog does not run around chasing its tail foreverAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
