There is no more government in Kenya. If Kenyans are clever enough, they should take up arms and defend themselves before it is too late. Everything has gone wrong and it cannot be salvaged. I swear to this. There is no way the turn of events will be solved with the approach Kofi Annan is giving it now. The army has miserably failed Kenyans. Whenever politicians are bickering, the people die mercilessly. For how long will the Kenya army stay in the barracks when innocent Kenyans are being butchered left right and center? Is there no leader among our supposedly peace-keeping army. Is there really a standing army in Kenya ???

Koffi Anan has been quick to calm the political tension in the country within his twenty four hours of arrival that has brought a ray of hope.

  Yesterday upon meeting with the pentagon he was able to convince them to call off their mass action planned for today and today he has finally been able to bring together Hon Raila Odinga and Mwai Kibaki hours after meeting Kibaki

  All eyes are set on the outcome of the meeting that is taking place at Harambee House right now as it will determine the destiny of the country.

Failed Negotiations Portend Serious Problems For Kenya

Koffi Annan is expected in Kenya on Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008 to spearhead a negotiations between Kibaki and Raila.

The country has already seen several high profile personalities including the chairman of African Union, President Kuffuor, come into the country with the hope that they might help resolve the impasse between the leaders, but in vain. The previous efforts have been a laughing stoke for all, as Kenya Government officials issue ridiculous statements in the presence of the guests to local and international media houses aimed at ridiculing the mediation efforts.

That having been the case, what will the up-coming effort by Koffi Annan achieve? Kibaki and his cronies are not going to hand over the presidency to Raila and ODM. They know they are illegally in office and as we all know a thief will never accept he is a thief much less return property that he has stolen.

So what can Kenyans expect from the coming negotiations? Kibaki and Kalonzo will be talking about “healing the nation” while Raila and The Pentagon will be talking about restoring democracy. Even a doctor cannot heal a disease by avoiding the root cause, in other words doctors first diagnose the disease before they start treating it. Kibaki talks of healing the nation without addressing the stolen elections. That would be a temporary measure that will potend disaster for Kenyans and their future generations.

The whole world is watching, but even more critical, Kenyans are wary of the stupid games that Kibaki and the ruling clique have been playing. If Annan’s mission is declared a flop due to myopic antics by the Kibaki side, then Kenya is set for an EXPLOSION of proportions that will make the last one month seem like child’s play.
