In a serious country, with a civil society that likes doing hard things, civil society would now apply serious pressure for reforms; this is a reform window that we stand in. Unfortunately, we are unserious.

Our @MBK_Alliance Ambassadors are examples of the outstanding young people we’ve been proud to support at the @ObamaFoundation over the years. We hope the Obama Presidential Center inspires even more.

Racist garbage.
Anyways, here’s a female member of the Tigray Defense Forces firing artillery.
“Africans are too stupid to calculate distances” is unironically the reason they don’t use artillery, like that’s not even really a joke

They really are. If you ask a Kenyan if they trust their government to have their best interests at heart..they'll give you a resounding NO. Yet the same Kenyans entrust the same government with their children. No oversight. Nothing. Not even seeing where their kids sleep

African parents are complacent actually. Because I’ve been in meetings where literally only three parents will agitate about issues concerning students and the other bongolala parents remain quiet 🫠

Also on this point - remember many schools block parents from inspecting the dorms & Kenyans parents accept it
We just don’t care about children Aki

At some point as adults in this country we must accept that collectively we don’t care about kids.. a fire is an accident, kids dying because they were locked in isn’t.. that it keeps re-occurring is with no sanctions is insane.

Also, when I specifically mention colonisation, it's not an excuse. It's an explanation. Understanding why you do the things you do is important for you to change your behaviour.
You can't run away from history in the name of " we can't blame everything on colonisation "

Its not so much 'capitalism' but that no solution to social organization is fullproof; they must come with their own new problems that must be solved. Some of these problems are 'wicked' - extremely difficult to solve.
Let's have this as an honest conversation - Mwende is right here, and please note the last sentence: "beat the child to keep them alive". That is context. Precolonial African society was FAR SAFER for children than this chaotic, capitalistic system we live in. Let's be honest.

But is Kenya's problem capitalism? Or is it that that Peter Ekeh two publics thing with a slight twist; immoral civic public, 'immoral primordial public that pretends to be moral'...Undergirded by perpetual elite extraction, enabled by a globalized kleptocracy.

You choose how to build your society. No ideology is complete (no matter how much each one trumpets itself) and I dont think you have to subscribe to a single one (though you may choose to); pragmatism also has its place, no?

Finland can negotiate, and take principled stances because they have a secure ontological identity: they have institutions, economic capabilities and relative force that they are willing and able to marshall towards resolving specific problems.

Finland knows where it is and where it wants to go, much more than many other modern nation states. Japan is too tentative. Singapore, more insular, (great care for its own citizens). cosmopolitanism seemingly limited to keeping trade flowing. Japan, weighed down by history.

Canada - paying for sleeping on its laurels; no hard shell - Canadian Armed Forces too much of a GWOT -USA appendage.
