[An analyst friend of mine in Kenya sent me this most shocking update on what the heck is happening in Kenya. I could not reach him for days, and he explained why. It has parallels with the war between President Mbeki and Jacob Zuma, except that in Kenya... the "good guy" cheated at the elections with the approval of the CIA, MI6, etc.
So what we're seeing in Kenya could ALSO be some of a portent of South Africa! It is a scenario we must consider... BLACK ON BLACK violence and genocide! His letter suggests something we've discussed on AfricanCrisis before, the links between Muslim terrorists and Marxists (Communists).
He cites the death toll as 200, but in South Africa this morning it was set at 270... and I suspect by now it is worse...
We'll have to monitor this one closely. Jan]
Hi Jan,
Happy New Year! I was not able to reply earlier to your email, because internet services were down, as a result of the current troubles in our country.
We had an election on December 27, 2007. The two presidential candidates were President Mwai Kibaki (a social democrat in the mold of Thabo Mbeki), and a Marxist named Raila Odinga (who is our Kenyan version of Jacob Zuma). Odinga studied Engineering in Communist East Germany in the 1960s, and has named his son Fidel Castro.
Kibaki rigged the election with the support and encouragement of the West. Kibaki's government has a close working relationship with the American CIA and FBI agencies, as well as with the British MI6 and Israeli Mossad. Kenya co-operates with those organizations in fighting Al-Qaeda, which carried out terrorist attacks in Kenya in 1998 and 2002. On the other hand, Odinga has been critical of the way in which the Kenyan government and the West, have treated Kenyan Muslims accused of extremist ties. The vast majority of Kenyan Muslims (as well as most Kenyan tribes) supported Odinga.
In the initial electoral count, Odinga had 4.3 million votes, compared to Kibaki's 3.7 million. Odinga carried 5 out of Kenya's 8 Provinces. But the Electoral Commission of Kenya announced Kibaki the winner with 4.5 million votes compared with Raila's 4.3 million. Kibaki received an additional 800,000 votes from nowhere. The West hailed Kibaki's victory, with the full knowledge that the election was massively rigged.
Raila's supporters are now rioting all over the country, and nearly 200 have died so far. I will give you more information when it becomes available. I will also write something on the website.
Sincerely,
