Kenyans,
This new Kibaki`s Alliance with Iran`s president Mohmond Ahmadinajad, Muammar Gaddafi and even the chinese president Hu jintav will not bring a lot of positive side effects to Kenyans hopping to join Europeans or USA Universities, or Kenyans hopping to do good business with the west. Infact it might even affect the already Kenyans living in Europe or USA in future. Visas to USA or Europe will be almost impossible to get if Kibaki do persue this type of relationship.
IRAN or Libya have no high technology, neither do they have distinct universities which will compensate the now USA or European universities already accomondating Kenyans today. Another point is that Kenyans will hardly have any opportunity to get jobs in these two countries, you can even forget about china at the moment already.
Another point is that these countries do not know what is called democracy we Kenyans are now fighting for today. Iranian women hardly show their faces in the open, human right abuse is more than enough. China is even taking weapons to kill people in DARFUR. what the hell is Kibaki thinking. And why should Iran have an oil refinary in Kenya at the time USA or Isreal are already thinking of striking Iran??. Is Kibaki realy thinking a head or just for today?. Kenya has had very good relationship with Israel, and let us not think the Israelist will still maintain that if we open all our doors to Iranians.

Subject: Kenyans in the west(Europe, USA etc) will be affected mostly by Kibaki`s new alliance
The statement you have made is quite true to but only to some extent. The reason why i say to some extent is simply because, you are assuming that kenya is not also headed by PM Raila Amolo Odinga. The Prime Minister who also leads the country also happen to side with the West(US and Europe). This means that both the interests of west and east are met. Resulting in a double advantage for the country. We can now get oil deals with Libya and Open skies with (west)United States of America(USA).
The only disadvantage is if Kibaki borrows dictatorial leaf from either Gaddafi’s or Amhedinejad’s book. If the relationship does not go beyond business then with both hands we shall welcome it. Just as a reminder: Did you know that shunning the east caused Nairobi Bomb Blast in 1998? The Arabs called us American allies and decided to kill 250 Kenyans and leave hundreds of others with psychological and physical damages. Kenya needs both East and West to meet its military and economic strategic needs.
Don’t forget to mention Agwambo. When you are talking about matters relating to top leadership of the country. By making the statement you have made a lay man like me to assume that, kenya is only headed by kibaki. Which of course is not the case, following the unity government formed, after post election violence that shook the foundation of our beloved country.
