I'm so broken by #WinnieBwire's demise. She represents many Kenyans whose lives have been ended by causes that could be overcome just b'cos how expensive health is in this country. Patriots, we pay more than enough tax to cater for all our basic needs. It's unacceptable to allow
@Mr_Elmami The struggle has to move to the next level: organizing revolutionary popular assemblies and leadership. Protest marches are just part of the people's arsenal whose deployment can only be exercised through/by the assemblies as necessary.
@BookerBiro@_KasKazini Taking the struggle to the next level: The birth of revolutionary popular assemblies and leadership for Kenya in parallels to the bourgeois state and leadership.
@shammahkiteme@RailaOdinga@stand Let us see if he will have better luck with Africa's ruling class than he has had with Kenyans. Will he sulk and refuse to work for the continental body in any other capacity if he is rejected?
It's important to talk about corruption and the extent of looting in Kenya. But for me, my interest is also this: what does the looting reveal about the mind, character and soul of Kenyans? What does it say about the moral, intellectual and spiritual infrastructure of Kenya? 🧵

Happy birthday to the Mexican revolutionary leader, Emiliano Zapata! Born today in rural Mexico in 1879, he led the armed farmers uprising that eventually snowballed into the Mexican Revolution of 1911. Zapata commanded the “Liberation Army of the South,” fighting for land rights and for power to be in the hands of the peasants.
Beyond the fight for land, Zapata stressed the vital connection between the struggle of the Mexican peasantry and the fight for social justice and material necessities: “We fight for the land and not for illusions that give us nothing to eat […] With or without elections, the people are chewing the cud of bitterness.”
Emiliano Zapata’s life was tragically cut short when he was gunned down by federal forces in 1919. Today his legacy lives on through Zapatista revolutionary groups that emerged in the mid-1990s fighting for land reform and justice, such as the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN).
Not pushing after 25/06 was a major blunder. We can all agree on that. However, tusikufe moyo. There’s been a lot of defeatist talk on the TL today and it’s understandable. Watu wamechoka. But revolutions don’t happen easily. We learn, re-strategise and keep pushing.
The playbook to Gen Z’s next strategy was outlined 6 decades ago; EDUCATE THE MASSES OF OUR PEOPLE!
