Trevor Noah, the South African comedian and host of “The Daily Show,” a popular late-night news satire and talk show in the United States, once described Donald Trump as America’s first African president. In fact, Americans could do worse than look to the continent in general, and Kenya in particular, for a preview of what life under a Trump administration would be like.
President-elect Trump and Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta have much in common. Both are fabulously wealthy, the children of privilege with questionable success in business, and both have been accused of fanning ethnic and racial hatred. Both have risen to head their respective countries in the most unlikely of circumstances and in the face of global opprobrium. Many across the world eschewed Trump’s xenophobia and reckless approach to international affairs; Kenyatta faced similar opposition to his candidacy three years ago. This was a consequence of his – -and his running mate’s — indictment at the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity in relation to Kenya’s 2008 post-election violence, in which more than 1,000 people died.

Mimi ukiangalia thread zangu mimi ni objective critic wa Jubilee. Hakuna kutetea nimefanya ni ukweli na tafuta. Leo ndio mara ya kwanza nimesikia hii story yako. Unless ulikuwa hapo siwezi amini rumors.
First of all kama hukumbuki any of this basi you must be younger than the baby of this village @Deorro. In 2002 Moi used the Mungiki sect to undermine the Kikuyu voting bloc which he feared would unite under Mwai KIbaki. I remember that relatives were complaining that if you went home from Nairobi you would meet with thugs who would ask for money from matatu drivers. The police had become lax after August and crackdowns on the sect had stopped. After the elections there were a lot of killings in Central because the man the sect had backed lost. Uhuru ‘denounced’ the killings just as he had done in 2008 after PEV. But even at that age I knew that he wasn’t to be trusted. There were a lot of scandals that were uncovered in 2003 like land rovers which were owned by the government being lent to mungiki. Many KANU political aspirants were also linked to the sect.
Kuna links lakini ni za google books kama utazisoma well and good:
Kama unataka a personal encounter basi hiyo sina but mtu akikuambia kulikuwa na PEV utakataa kwa sababu hakuwa hapo na alionea kwa TV ? Ama holocaust utaamini tu ukipewa first hand account, kwa hivyo kwako historians wote kwako ni waongo?
Yeah like Hague ti kwa nyokwa? Mkubwa don’t try too hard, you are one of the few sober minded talker. I am one of the guys who holds in high esteem for your urbane and learned point of view on topics.
