The Koreans have started killing the Somalis


In an attempt to free a commercial oil tanker (ship), the South Korean military have murdered in cold blood several Somali pirates on Friday.

There is no law in heaven and in earth that allows the Koreans to murder Somali pirates whatsoever in their own waters. There is no law in my mind and in the minds of common people that allow the killing of criminal suspects in anyway.

The Koreans are aggressors who have not learnt lessons from the infamous 1993 Mogadishu battle. They have started to interfere and kill the civilians of Somalis who are protecting their waters from the growing cartel of illegal fishers.

This is an indication that confirms to us that even the EU Naval force in the Somali waters are all killing and maiming Somali pirates…they have never admitted to killing a single pirate and they will never admit it.

The Koreans have killed several in only one day and only God knows how many Somali pirates have been murdered inside the Waters over the past few years.

Why I will never vote for the KKK alliance

The trio leaders of Kenya’s Kikuyu, Kamba and Kalenjin alliance are tribalists who do not deserve to be even mere county representatives, leave alone presidency. They are propagating politics of patronage which will lead to tribal animosity in Kenya, a country that is just emerging from the edge of an abyss.
If it happens that these guys are voted to rule this country, then the future of Kenya hangs precariously in the balance. Their alliance is simply irrelevant to the needs of the overwhelming majority of the local citizens.

It is so unfortunate that many innocent Kenyans may be blackmailed into this unpromising alliance of tribal kingpins.

For all the reasons why I will never vote for the alliance is because there is one emerging development which has exposed the incurable poverty of leadership in the KKK formations and underlines the irretrievable irrelevance of the three men to Kenya’s political history and future.

It is their astounding inability to understand the meaning and context of national heroism and their shocking readiness to unashamedly wave ethnic flags to justify their opportunistic tribal nonsense under the deceitful cover of the so-called inclusive contemporary politics.

The attempt by the trio formations to use a tribal card to declare their leadership interest is insulting not only in national terms but to the people of Kenya who deserve to be treated with respect without being put into political pockets of individual politicians who have hidden personal agendas that have nothing whatsoever to do with community or national development.

This alliance is a threat to the unity of the country. The three men are coming to inadvertently push unethical political practice, and their leadership behaviour is bereft of values of good and of decency.

Is it not self-evident that these political capitalists are going no where? They are not the kind of leaders we as Kenyans want to have at this time round.
