For Peace, Not War.

NEED FOR CEASEFIRE IN GAZA
|By Glen Don|

The Israeli-Palestinian war heightened this October when Hamas made an incursion and strike missiles in the Israeli territory.
The retaliation against the Hamas action by Israel has led to the destruction of properties and resulted in the death of many in Gaza, the crux area that is under siege and that has made the war reach this level.

Gaza is the strip of land being fought for by both parties; Israel and Palestine.
Every nation and continent is trying to have a stand, while some stand to support Israel for retaliating like the United States, Britain, and a majority of the Western world, some other countries like Saudi Arabia, Iraqi and a larger section of Arab nations stand with Palestine, in Africa country like Ghana seems to stand with Israel and South Africa with Palestine while some others are trying to abstain and be silence. The bone of contention is whether to support Israel in the war or campaign for peace.

Just days after President Biden visited Israel and castigated the war ignition by Hamas and 'laud' Israel for revanche, England's Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is also planning to go to Israel.

What is good in Israel that these high-profile leaders are taking what they cannot do while they are away?
Britain's and America's stand is explicit and nothing more they can do to persuade or dissuade both parties to do, peace is made by neutral countries in a neutral geopolitical atmosphere.
Biden visited some of the Asian nations and the Jewish people, and the remarkable thing he did was announce the importance of peace and 'motivating' Israel, then the greatest surprise was Cairo's acceptance to allow relief food to the Gaza region, something that Egypt had refused to do.

Every day Israeli soldiers are striking inside Gaza as a witch-hunt to Hamas. 
Hamas is now a terror group and must be 'wiped' out by Israel. This is according to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
As they continue with their operations, civilians get injured, some die, properties are destroyed and Gaza is in ruins at the moment.
The recent attacks on the Hospital killing tens of patients and the attack on Al-Aqsa Mosque are shocking.
In hospitals, patients are treated and taken care of, how inhumane are the people who direct missiles to a hospital to kill others who are battling with their health conditions just to survive? So sad. The "terrorists" cannot reside in Hospitals and presumably, those who are in hospitals at this time of war are mostly those who survived the attack of bombs and missiles.
The attack on sacred places is now a divergent message apart from the witch-hunting terror group. The attack sounds more like religion than ever before. The sacrilegious act by soldiers should be a matter of priority in criticism and should not be allowed even by the commander-in-chief of defense. The Muslim anathematization upon seeing the atrocities done to them even in their sacred place may lead the world in a worse direction.

The war between Israel and Palestine is not fresh as one may think, it is a war that began long ago. 
Innocent citizens are dying, properties are being destroyed and leaders bother taking a stand rather than being neutral and initiating peace.
How would it be prestigious to settle down the parties involved in the war and establish long-lasting peace?
The world has leaders that are capable of broaching peace.

Peace is what the world needs. Not taking sides as if there is preparation for a world war. The World War ended and it is better to learn from the past to better the future.
Biden's 'powerful' visit was enough to yield peace, and Rishi Sunak's planned visit is enough to bring peace.
For the love of peace.

Church as the conduit in political Arena

Churches Again! Kenyan politicians should desist from attending churches as a way of getting masses, let each one organize mass on his or her own.  While doing politics, leaders usually prefer weekends and majorly on Sundays in order to get masses and sell their aspirations to the congregants.  In 2022, Dr. Canon Ida Odinga , was bashed when she breached an idea about church regulation when the current government during their hay days in their opposition intensed their campaigns in churches as the congregants were the target voters. Luckily, church was the conduit for the majority of present political leaders to assume the seats. The trend still continues when churches are still being used as the platform for political campaigns.  The Office of the Attorney General through its boss Dorcas Oduor , has revealed that they receive about 60 registration requests for churches. In Rwanda , some of the churches were shut down on the basis of their doctrin...

Trained to lie: Time to take them out

A greater percentage of Kenya's population lives a hard life in the country while the remaining live a lavish life. "Hard living" is a song by Wailing Souls but among those in the streets of Kibra in Nairobi, Obunga in Kisumu, and Old Town in Mombasa, among other slums, it is an epitome of their livelihood. It is this reality, that those in the top ladder are satirizing. The remarks by Treasury Cabinet Secretary, Honourable John Mbadi on the majority of Kenyans consuming soda signifying the reduction in the high cost of living is unpalatable and apathetic.   Politicians in their cadres assume citizens subscribe to their ideologies only to later realize that the majority of Kenyans are awake.  The same speed and agility they have while speaking only makes Kenyan image to degenerate lest other countries alter their perception of what is Kenya. <script src="https://pl31036930.profitableratecpmnetwork.com/42/fb/6e/42fb6edaece576db30b03763452f3344.js...

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...
