There is a leadership vacuum in Kenya right now and corporate controlled western governments are taking full advantage of it! Read the details in the link below:

The ordinary Kenyans must prepare for potential dangerous hidden pitfalls in the forthcoming 2012 election circles!

The 2007/08 Kenya ’s elections brought with it chaos not anticipated by ordinary voting citizens who were expecting some real changes! Instead, they were forced to deal with loss of lives, properties and displacement of about 350,000 people! Foreign businesses, particularly those relying on the Kenya-Uganda Railways to transport goods from Rwanda , Burundi , Uganda and Southern Sudan through Mombasa were also paralyzed. However, these businesses have not been sitting idle since then! What is worrisome is the announcement by ICC prosecutor, Moreno Ocampo that a number of Kenyans may be going to The Hague, a court that has been strategically set up by corporate controlled western governments to create chaos and then prosecute Africans elites who may be temped to engage in the chaos, particularly, if they are not favored by these corporations! In slightly over one year from now, campaigns for the 2012 general elections will begin!

We now have a Coalition government, negotiated by the usual African intellectual proxies like Kofi Annan and others. Nobody knows whether the contested Coalition Government, which has created a gaping power vacuum, was done to protect the 99% of struggling Kenyans, or or to protect foreign entities operating in Kenya who are taking full advantage of it! Knowing that the 2007 elections resulted in the deaths of about 1,500 unarmed Kenyans and left at least 350,000 others running for their lives, ordinary Kenyans citizens cannot afford to bury their heads in the sand and assume that 2012 elections will run smoothly. They must take cues from events that led to the 1994 Rwanda genocide because there are similarities!

Prior to invading Rwanda , Kagame was a powerful general in the Ugandan army. In fact, the RPF (Rwandan Patriotic Front) was an integral part of Ugandan army and whoever endorsed, trained, financed and maintained the incorporation of exiled Rwandans into Ugandan army must have had some specific intent.

On August 4, 1993, the negotiated settlement between the Hutu led Rwandan government of Juvenal Habyarimana and the Ugandan based exiled Tutsi RPF forces, under Paul Kagame, was reached in Arusha, Tanzania: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arusha_Accords

For some mysterious reason(s) yet to be explained, Paul Kagame chose a different path to grab power in Rwanda, resulting in loss of about 800,000 Rwandan civilian lives in a matter of 100 days!

Barely two years after that mayhem, Kagame would proceed to march into Zaire (Democratic Republic of Congo) where about 7,000,000 (7 million or more) unarmed Congolese civilians have been slaughtered!

One would think that the deaths of millions of unarmed civilians would create uproars in every corner of the world, particularly, African. Instead, there has been a news blackout by world’s corporate controlled media and many Africans are not even aware that close to 7 million unarmed Africans have been slaughtered in Zaire (Democratic Republic of Congo)! Even African Union does not dare to talk about what is happening in Congo! It is like nobody values Africans lives, including Africans themselves!

Kofi Annan and Moreno Ocampo, who have been very busy and vocal about the deaths of 1,500 Kenyans, have been very silent about the deaths of 10 million of unarmed Africans in Congo! Annan was the UN Undersecretary responsible for UN Peace Keeping Forces during the Rwandan genocide. He was the UN Secretary General while the Congolese were being slaughtered by the millions. He played it cool by being very limp and mute!

It is bad enough that one unarmed human should be senselessly killed, particularly for the family members left behind. However, it is stunning that the deaths of 1,500 unarmed Kenyans has woken up Kofi Annan while the deaths of 800,000 unarmed Rwandans in 1994 or deaths or 7 millions Congolese that followed were allowed to happen.

Severe attempts have been made by corporate-controlled western governments and the UN to change the subject when it comes to discussing the deaths of 7 million Africans in Congo. Those who have attempted to raise their voices about what is happening in Congo have been met with vicious attacks from the very media and the international communities who have now employed Mr. Annan and Mr. Ocampo to work in Kenya. The vicious critics would rather discuss the diminishing population of gorillas in the Virunga National Park than millions of innocent African men, women and children being annihilated in Congo! It looks like these forces have the power to pick and choose who deserves to live and those African millions whose deaths do not deserve to be mentioned! Why?

Paul Kagame’s corporate supporters have fully endorsed his claim that his march into Congo was in pursuit of the Hutus, blamed for the 1994 Rwandan genocide! The deaths of 7 million Congolese seem to have been explained away as collateral damages which must be ignored! Those collateral damages continue to die in Congo .

For some reason(s), Rwanda has been rewarded with both membership of East African Community and the British Commonwealth! The addition of Rwanda and Burundi as member states in EAC took place in July 2007; the time campaigns for the 2007 Kenyan elections were at their peaks! In less than 6 months, the rigging of the elections and violence that followed would occupy the attention of Kenyans wherever they were on planet earth! While every Kenyan’s attention was fixed on this internal turmoil, a couple of events started taking shape: (a) the formation of Kenyan Coalition government (was and still is) being shoved down the throats of the members of the squabbling two political parties (ODM and PNU) by Kofi Annan (b) some of these Kenyan elites (were and still are) being threatened with prosecution at the ICC court at The Hague by Mr. Moreno Ocampo (c) other members had their travel visas revoked by governments of United States, European Union and Australia (d) some of the newly elected MPs were being eliminated through crafted assassinations (e) rules of engagements in the newly formed East African Community (Rwanda, Burundi, Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania) were being crafted and pushed hard by same people! THIS IS THE POWER VACUUM STARING AT KENYANS AS 2012 ELECTIONS ARE APPROACHING!

All critical events with far-reaching consequences are taking place simultaneously! The questions which the right minded Kenyans must ask are: (a) how have the squabbling Kenyan elites manage to comprehend the implications and feasibility of adding Rwanda and Burundi as members of the EAC? (b) Why are these EAC discussions being pursued with such vigor at time when the attention of the elites who could have effectively represent Kenyans’ interests are elsewhere? (c) Who has been representing Kenyans’ land issues which are at stake at these EAC critical negotiations? Could it be he Paul Kagame or his partner, Yoweri Kaguta Museveni? These war-lords are masters at, intentionally, operating under the radar screen in such chaotic environments because this is are the time when most damage can be done to the whole country! http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=29299

Do not forget that this has also been the period when Uganda has been going after Migingo Island in Lake Victoria ! It is also the time when the Great Lakes’ proxy-in-chief, Paul Kagame, has been suggesting that the governing of Kenya be taken over by the military! http://voicesofafrica.africanews.com/site/list_messages/15343

Kenyans, particularly those with vested interests in or have loved ones around Lake Victoria region, should be very concerned about the presence of Paul Kagame in the newly formed East African Community. Kenyans must find out the real reasons behind (a) EAC failure in 1977 (b) its revival in 2000 (c) why it has been vital to add Rwanda and Burundi as members in 2007! There are interests being served by this move and it may not be poor Kenyans’ interests. Bundling all the tribal groups of Rwanda , Burundi , Kenya , Uganda and Tanzania under one roof will create chaos and nobody knows how the potential chaos will be resolved and by whom! The people pushing these views believe that African lives cannot stand in the way of their resources interests!

There are also talks of lumping together all tribal groups under one super government called Federation of East African with the hope that managing them will miraculously be a cake walk! Unless the brains behind this idea are intending to politically marginalize and/or clean-up some particular tribes, this idea can only serve the purpose of those brains. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_African_Federation.

Nobody knows who the winners and losers of this colossal merged government will be and what will happen to the losers or the marginalized! With the lack of development in healthcare, education, roads construction, water and sewage treatments, power and lighting in individual states, who would be in charge of the Federation of East Africa governments? How would this individual be chosen? How will the daunting task of the severe underdevelopment problems be addressed? How will the land issues be resolved? In other words, who will be calling shots on land ownership or will the marginalized be corralled in Kibera-like slums that may spring everywhere?

What is happening now had happened before. Just as many African countries were gaining their “independence”, the emerging African leaders were being coerced and bamboozled into signing deals that left economic powers in the hands of same colonial rulers who are now making critical decisions about what they see as good for Kenyans and Africans. These decisions turned out to be false and have left Africa in colossal debts with African elites blamed for corruption and failures.

The debts have hindered development in Africa due to the fact that most African resources, including land and infrastructures are held as sureties by creditors who advanced loans, like World Bank Group and IMF. Most, if not all, of Africa ’s borrowed money have gone towards the purchase of second-hand military equipments primarily used to mow down unarmed African civilians who are not allowed to complain!

All African ruling elites are left to perform law enforcement duties of controlling and reigning in on their African citizens to ensure the safety of the foreign war-lords pushing for changes that cater for their security interests! The results have been dead with many unarmed Africans dying!
