Intelligence surveillance and the security sector in general works in this country. If we had the political will, we'd be a country of law and order.

Always amuses me how other races hold negative views on black people and we've largely kept to ourselves throughout human history. Not colonized or conquered others, kept our fights internal but those who've either brutalized us or haven't interacted with us seem to hate us.

Worked in a human rights organisation and I'm keen on human rights being upheld. But I've grown abit skeptical. with age and life has taught me that cops almost always know these criminals when they come for them. Also, few in society care considering what Nakuru had become.

Maasai and Borana were the pre-eminent military powers of East & Horn of Africa between 1600s and 1860s before Rinderpest and colonialism subdued both communities. This 1720s war between the two is evident in patrilineality of Gabbra, allies of Boran who took in Maasai PoWs.

An accurate assessment of the new forces shaping the world in their own horrible vision. Most of these Middle (Eastern) powers don't even have populations of 5 million but are undermining lives of hundred of millions elsewhere.

In multiple geopolitical hotspots, aggressively assertive middle powers are inflaming conflict, proliferating lethal weapons, reinvigorating dictatorships, undermining decades of Western investment in democratisation. A world led by new breed of middle powers a dangerous place.

The reason such keeps happening is because no one pays for it. Set up bumps on escarpment descent into Naivasha leading to an accident that kills many. Bumps removed the next day. No one is held culpable. The moment we start litigation against KENHA, they'll think before such BS

@kinjeketile Northern Kenya is huge. And the road conditions make the journey seem even longer

The huge size of Northern Kenya can be seen in distance between towns. A few examples: Moyale to Mandera (383km) Garissa to Mandera (686km) Isiolo to Moyale (501km) For comparison: Nairobi to Eldoret (316km) Mombasa to Nakuru (649km) Nairobi to Mombasa (488km)

Fascinating to see Kenya flex on the regional stage. We are now calling shots in DRC, traditionally SA's patch. We are also leading talks between Tigray and Ethiopia. Chairmanship of regional bodies aside, seems 🇰🇪's economic interests are driving our foreign policy.

In 517 AD, the Jewish King of the Yemeni Himyarite kingdom Dhu Nuwas massacred Christians in Najran. The incident infuriated Rome so much King Justin I sent the Axumite Ethiopian Christians to avenge, leading to the collapse of Himyar and occupation of Yemen by Axum.
