STABLE AFRICA


Imagine your worst enemy whom you have been warring against get to know your weakness and thoroughly beats when you were about to show him mercy, what an embarrassment would it be.?
Democratic Republic of Congo,  Burundi, Rwanda Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya are some of the pillars of East African Community and they are as well members of the Africa Union.
Africa Mission In Somalia (AMISOM) which is now called African Transmission in Somalia (ATMIS) the initiative that was to see the African Union armies moving out of Somalia and leaving the security matters to the Somalian Government.
About two decades or so African Union's army was in Somalia to help in fighting the terror group that is alleged to be branch of Al-Qaeda that is Al Shabaab. The Al Shabaab have always been and is still a security threat to Africa especially the Eastern Africa and to be precise the coastline of the region.
About a week ago, tens of Ugandan soldiers were killed, Ugandan Government said that about 52 soldiers were killed including two commanders while  the Al Shabaab have are claiming to have killed about a hundred and twenty soldiers.
The killing took place when an initiative that was to remove all the foreign soldiers migrating out of Somalia was designated to end by 24th December this year.
It is embarrassing to be defeated when the battle is about to end. 
Since the AMISOM began their mission of containing the Al Shabaab's threat, Uganda have never experienced such a loss in the military and it has been that country that usually enjoy the prestige of its tactic soldiers.
As soldiers exit Somalia, it is not time to see and experience such deaths. When Ugandan troupes have been killed an it is part of East Africa Community, then there is a feeling that Al Shabaab terrorist will downtrod the entire region and possibility of  attacks will be eminent.
This is the right time for the region by all means should endeavour to safeguard her territories and hide all her strength and secrets from the terrorists.
My aim is not to surrender to this illegal group, but tactic best enough should be employed to avoid such a loss.
Stability should be the target, peaceful coexistence to be our mission, unity to be vision such that the future African child to see the fruits that were sown by the current regimes.
The love for Africa should not be forfeited.

SINGAPORE AND KENYA: DAY AND NIGHT

Kenya got its independence 1963 from the British colony, while Singapore got it two years in the month of August 9, 1965 from Malaysia after they had intense political differences which resulted to racial riots. Standing on the mirror line reflecting on the two countries between Kenya and Singapore, Kenya is extremely behind Singapore in terms of development.  Singapore hastily rose from third world country to first world country while Kenya still maintained the third world class.  Recently, Kenya's President Dr. William Ruto, is full of comparison statements: between Kenya and Singapore. Surprisingly, the phrase of boosting Kenya's world class has taken a beautiful twist where every politician is dreaming of Kenya to be futuristically the same level as Singapore. Pausing a bit, what's a dream? pondering on this; a dream literally means imaginary events while sleeping.  Our politicians are forgetting the dogmatic saying that goes 'action speaks louder than...

THE CHANGE EXPECTED IN REVERSE: GEN Z'S FADING STRENGTH

Photo Courtesy   Waking up to find the sun rising from the West and not East at dawn is enough to signal a whirl of change in the cosmological history. As a product of imagination it can be, who knew Gen Z would emerge as with a wave of change in a sundry of generations unexpectedly.  With this wave, the political sphere in every country worldwide is experiencing an overhaul.  Recently, protests have marred different countries with calls for change.  Bangladesh, Nepal, Morocco, Madagascar, Kenya are some of the countries that have at least tasted the pinch of the GenZ protests, while some of the protests have resulted in a change in the political sphere of the affected countries others have left less impact with mission and vision unreached due to fanciful impulse.  Generation Z, globally have not only expressed their anger through anger through protests and demonstrations, but also in politics where some of the African countries like Seychelles and...

NOT-NOW: HAVE SOME HUMANITY

photo courtesy (unknown) A person cannot retract a message that has reached a mass audience invariant of where it was said. One of the characteristics of communication is that you cannot uncommunicate.  A silent person remains wise until he utters a word. His Excellency Mutahi Kahiga might exemplify this phrase considering his tracenda during his speech at a funeral in Kiambu county, where he was addressing them in the local dialect.  Mr. Kahiga, seems to be deficient in emotions especially concerning the latest tragedy that befell the country when he cast aspersions on Raila Odinga's demise.  Raila Odinga, without doubt was akin to mumbo-jumbo within the luo community yet to his capacity during his lifetime did he not only benefit the Luo but became a national figure and perhaps a trademark in Kenya's politics.  In the history of human life, man is mortal and from soil we come, to soil shall we return. Regardless of the circumstances, man is...
