Kenyan brother was forced and drawn to war with his neighboring brother Somalia. Motivated by western incentives and not reason, he fought and fought, killed and killed….and he is still killing …and no one knows for sure when the killing will end because the killer is led not by reason or his needs but by the reason and the needs of a foreigner. As he kills he is killed and the impact which at first was small is now a giant impact. This is so sad-the business of taking life away which no one knows for sure where it came from. Even, no one can sustain the life for a second. This shows me the ignorant of those who say are learned; the the foolishness of those who say are wise; and the emptiness of those who say are great. But fellow Kenyans you have to remember that a day awaits you. A day when the world comes to an end. In this day, your eyes will open and realize that the thing you were destroying mercilessly as enemy,was in actuality not your enemy but your most valuable resource. It could be the time the same people who pay you to kill your own will turn against you. You will need your brother, but it will be very painful to realize you killed him with your own hand. It could be more than that. You are so stupid to ignore the fact that the same person who gave Africans guns to kill their fellow Africans in 1950s and 60s, is the force that has given you a gun to turn against your brother.Or do you thing in those days Africans were making guns and canons? Did you preach and act non-retaliation first and fail to win? Did you preach and demand historical and current justice denied to Somalis and fail to win them? Did you preach respect/ practical dialogue and nonviolence and fail to win them? Why are have you agreed to be used as a machine to kill a brother who is out to guard you granary? Somalis are not the problem of the oppressor but your only remaining granary…and wait….because your tomorrow will confirm that.
Somalis are also killing their brothers at the behest of their Saudi backers..who dont want a stable somalia because it will threaten their oil monopoly…somalia has some of the largest oil reserves in the region if not globally.
AFRICANS KILL EACH OTHER FOR THEIR MASTER’S INTEREST
So oil is the main subject. So both you fight and kill each other to protect oil? Somalis kill for Arabs and Kenyans kill for who?
Who forced you to war with your brother during Kibaki time? Did you go to fight Somalis because of hundreds of poor Kenyans who die in the country because of poverty, socioeconomic hardship and oppression or you went to fight because a white government lost one or two of its own in the usual business interest of oil etc?
So the two of you have been reduced to weapons for the big fight between Arab and white business in Africa? How wise would be your wisdom when none of you would be there to see what you fought for but your master?
Man, my prayer and call is that African soldiers may see that they are tools not to protect Africans but Neo-colonial foreign governments through African presidents and politicians. You fall into the temptation of saying yes not because it is the right thing to do but because you are poor and vulnerable, easily to be misused then dumped, but it is my prayer that one day you will open your eyes and see and choose the truth that is there to stay other than that which comes glittering but leaves after a while, leaving behind irreversible damage.
Imagine, you take away life which you cannot create….and life which you cannot bring back? What do you think he who creates and sustains it feels about you? How can you give the excuse that it is because another person did the same? Or, how valid is the excuse that it is because you were poor and wanted some dollars to live better?
African, get it clear from me that: One who hires to kill because he/she is a fearful looser has always been waiting a big failure; and you who fall as his/her puppets are not only reduced to stupefaction and illogicality, but also awaiting a big failure.
