I just come back from Kenya and witnessed most of these horrible crimes first hard. My wife and I also were involved in finding help to displaced kids and families. We were able to move 15 kids to my father house and also enroll them in schools. Kenyans people are good people regardless and I do want the world to know that, they do not care about race until incited and clearly that was what happened in Kenya when Raila and the opposition lost.
It is unfortunate that this has happened in the front of the world. What is surprising is the way the world has kept quiet in terms of the who is responsible for this. If the world was listening to the ODM’s the campaign slogans, they should have known that this was to happen. Their banner was “Majimbo” meaning separation by race. This was happening while the US and Europe watched and never raised a finger. They, the west also supported Raila and the opposition, while all this was going on and clearly knew what was going to be the consequence. Their intention was the genocide of those who did not support them and specifically the kikuyu’s, there was genocide written all over but he west and the world ignored it.
The militia groups were organized way ahead of the polls, their mission clearly defined by the oppositions. They were to force some tribe’s and again specifically the kikuyu’s people as have been happening in the past from their homes by killing them. The individual and this militia which the government is aware of have committed war crimes against the civilian population and need to be prosecuted by international tribunal. This includes people who are going to be in the next grand coalition. There has not been one time that I have hard the west point a finger on who organized these crimes. This pattern of genocide against the kikuyu’s has been going on for too long in Kenya. Every election we have had in Kenya, kikuyu have paid a heavy price in terms of human lives. The world needs to stop this now.
Under the leadership of Kofi Annam, the two opposing sides have agreed to share power which is what the Kenyan people would have wanted, peace! My argument is what kind of precedence is being set for the democracy in Africa and third world country? This is clearly a big blow to democracy, because it clearly says that when you lose an election, kill as many people as you can and the world will listen to you. Raila and the opposition have been rewarded by inciting and genocide. And then the world have demand that you share power, congratulation!! This is what happened in Kenya. I do not know if Kibaki won or lost but clearly there was a better way of resolving this. There is court of law and the procedures set, that should have been followed. By allowing the opposition to share power we are encouraging this to happen again, and I guarantee that this will happen. Zimbabwe here we come, you are next, and the west is waiting to be entertained by killing of African. What way to set precedence in Kenya.
