The Political Crisis in Kenya: A Call for Justice and Peaceful Resolution
Njoki N'DunguFormer Member of Kenya's Parliament
- U.S. Role in Kenya
- Kenyan 'Masculinity in Crisis'
statement to subcommittee on Africa and global health
I don't know if anyone saw this whole meeting on cspan2 but it was kind of crazy and a lot of important points were brought up. also from a critical perspective the response of the us govt. is amazingly telling of the direction of things regarding both the political/economic interests (benefits) of ongoing conflict in Kenya, as well stepped-up interest of the current govt. concerning having an well planned response to the conflict and a public affairs front. Mr. Kiai said it is what happens in between elections that prove a democracy, not the elections themselves. And Ms. N'Dungu said that the elections were used as a pretext for preplanned evictions of certain segments of the population(remember what Ngugi said too)....wow. are you thankin what im thanking?
we'll probably bring some of this up on the radio next week.
