I am 2 years into my 20s but this particular year feels rocky. It feels like I have been thrown into a stormy Ocean. The waters are wild causing me to drown me but kind enough to give me measured amounts of breaks to catch

Listening to Prof. Njuguna Ndungu yesterday made me ask myself for the 500th time, where does Kenya keep getting it wrong. You can clearly tell he is somewhat of a genius in his area of expertise. The kind of person you want to make decisions in this country.
My answer all the time is always, the politicians. That is where we go wrong.
There’s a video of Ruto where he was rejecting the constitution with so much anger. Idk how people overlooked all those red flags & still voted for him
The International Criminal Court (ICC) suspects who basically own Kenya today bribed media house employees to delete post-election violence news stories from their YouTube channels, arranged for raw footage to disappear from newsrooms, and rewrote the narrative by portraying themselves as victims after funding the killings.
The kind of money thrown around to sink the case ran into the billions. They paid an employee of the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) to steal the list of witnesses lined up against them at the ICC.
They used that list to bribe witnesses, paid hit squads to kill, and even made witnesses disappear if they refused to recant their testimonies. The officers who were in the hit squad that killed the witnesses were themselves also murdered. https://t.co/XXddL3JAbq
Some of the targeted hate I receive is because I refused to hide my images or testify falsely at The Hague that the violence I witnessed was spontaneous rather than organised. Instead, we travelled the entire country, displaying the pictures and holding healing and reconciliation discussions.
I was even approached not by the two main ICC suspects, but by Kibaki’s people, who were trying to protect his key civil servant. That civil servant was facing charges of five crimes against humanity: murder, forcible transfer of population, rape, persecution, and other inhumane acts.
Entire police occurrence books were rewritten to conceal the true number of those who died. Almost 20 years later, there has not been a single conviction for the post-election violence.
Thousands died, hundreds (possibly thousands) of women were raped, and over 500,000 people were displaced. Their animals, properties, and land were stolen.
The 2007–2008 chapter was never closed. The story continues, and if you make the mistake of re-electing people whose only language is to bribe everyone and kill those who disagree, Kenya will experience even worse violence than in 2007–08.
He has already normalised sending masked men to abduct citizens in full view of cameras, while goons work with the police to beat and violate opposition leaders and their supporters. Soon those masked men and goons will be shooting and killing people on live TV. That is exactly what happened on 25 June 2024. Why do you think almost all senior police leadership in Nairobi comes from one community, and that the police boss who ordered a blogger’s abduction and murder is being groomed to be the next Inspector General of Police?
Let me stop here. You can find some of the photos I shot in 2007–08 https://t.co/LRDxDzXwu4.
Finally, @DCI_Kenya boss Mohamed Amin: since January, your special teams have been forced to sign that they received per diems when they travel for out-of-station missions, yet they receive nothing. They are being forced to sleep in their cars and beg for food.
Stop treating your special units like homeless people. Who is stealing their allowances? Or is that the money State House is using to bribe voters and pay bloggers?
The struggle to liberate Kenya continues… #NeverAgainKE
The biggest mistake Kenyans made was allowing ICC indictees to cling to power by voting for them out of sympathy. That decision remains one of the country's most unforgivable mistakes because, it set us on the path that has led to our current situation. As I see it, those in power appears not concerned about what ordinary Kenyans will go through and seems determined to do everything within their power to retain their political seats.
What we are seeing now is what was predicted in the Waki Commission Report, the Kriegler Commission Report, the Kofi Annan Mediation — Kenya National Dialogue and Reconciliation (KNDR, 2008–2013) and the TJRC Report (2008–2013). We must stop this before it gets out of hand
@xysist These videos are very necessary but damn after watching them i am sooo drained. Like living in a "period of peace" can really shield someone from seeing the worst of humanity
You can’t convince me life is just a series of coincidences. What do you mean Lionel Messi was randomly paired with a five-month-old baby after the baby’s family won a UNICEF raffle for a charity photoshoot while Messi played for Barcelona… and that baby grew up to be Lamine Yamal?
Lamine would go on to become one of the brightest young stars in soccer, wear the same No. 19 Messi wore for the same team when that photo was taken, and now, nearly two decades later, could face Messi in a World Cup Final???????
What i don't understand is how & why UhuruRuto came into power.
This is the problem with wanting to bury history in the name of forgiveness & healing.07 PEV should always stay in our faces, so that we don't forget how easily things could go wrong & who suffers! Just like Rwanda
@tonykaromo This was after the loss of all those people. Tofauti ya hii speach yake na ile the guy who killed the spouse and two kids gave yesterday ni gani?
This was our place, I can even tell hapa ni kwa nani ama nani. I recall that time Kibaki had come, his plane (and Red Cross) plane landed at Arnesens High School pitch. That part overlooked the other side of the ridge on your way to Rukuini and Kamuyu, and you'd see the dusty road snake up the ridge visibly.
Buana Kibaki akiwa hapo anaongea, we'd see the Kalenjin fighters spread on the horizon on the other side of the ridge, partaking in the speech of their president. I think they got bored coz after a while they started lighting up fire in the remaining homes visible from where we were.
President Kibaki saw this, and instead of sending his military (he had been accompanied by nearly a thousand uniforms), he made the famous speech that reinforced his nickname 'General Kiguoya'.
"Waaacha wachoomee.....' he said "Watachooka wajiulizee maswaali....". He continued with his speech as the fires started to spread from home to home. Afterwards, he left.
Then this video must've been shot then. People who know the left side of Burnt Forest Town can confirm.👇
@Lawmuambi lol. A stoic who has achieved mastery of his feelings would never kill a woman over child support. Stop throwing around big words you have no intuitive understanding overz
