Celebration of the life of #railaodinga path and passing into heavenly glory-celebration of his life winning soul of the nation and Africa-celebration of his great legacy, is more than the celebration of five elections victory combined had he ever won those elections in #Kenya.
If #railaodinga was so popular, a champion of multi-party democracy and human rights, loved by millions of #Kenyans as his death has shown, why couldn't he win any of the five presidential elections he stood for over the years? Was he always cheated, as he said every time?
The economic inequality we see in #Kenya, exposed by protest against the #FinanceBill2024, is not unique to Kenya. It's a problem Africa faces. Despite the growing int'l debts on Africa, there remains a growing gap between govt elites and 70% of the population they represent.
It is now four days since protesters were killed in #Kenya by police over the #FinanceBill2024. I am disappointed in #WilliamRuto, a #Kalenjin! Why wouldn't the Kikuyus boast that they are born to lead? Leaders must learn to listen to their people - the people they lead.
I love Israel but this is too much!! What #Israel is doing in #Gaza, is a systematic bombing campaign against #Palestinian civilian population. Going after #Hamas doesn't mean exterminating civilians.
The ongoing war in #Gaza has only exposed the broad daylight double standard. Human Rights For All! Peace in #Israel ๐ฎ๐ฑ, Peace in #Palestine ๐ต๐ธ!!
The decision of the #SCOTUS to set limits on #affirmativeaction is a sad day for the #America, a sad day for democracy, a sad day for the very people who think they have won.
If you think you have right when others don't have, you have no right. No one has until we all have.
A nation built on the back of black people. From Bourbon St to Jackson's Square in New Orleans, LA; from the shallow water Beach in Biliox to Pascagoula in MS and all over the deep south of the US, the fingerprint of America's original sin, slavery remains vivid to this day.
