  1. First confession mukadzi nemurume vaunoshandira vanotozivana and dzitori mhiko dzavari kuita pauri. Kana uri off enda kumasowe iro basa usiye asi wotokwinya pakunamata. Hakuna chemahara pasi pano ufunge and mari yauri kupiwa uchaibhadhara zvako

  2. Mr William ruto, must step down because is not for Kenyan and Population. Is working for Imperialistes and Occidentaux.
    You do not look after the crisis n your country and prefer to send your police in Haiti,, what kind of your president you are?
    De declare the arrestation of mr w. ruto with their sponsor in icc or Cpi against humanitarian Crime made to their own Peoples….

  3. This is only the beginning, and it will become worse. The Western States exploited Africa continuously for the past 459 years but they also met super greedy and corruptbleaders who sold their own people and assets to them until today. Ruto isva fly-over president who's flight bills alone could solve some problems. Still he is visibly minglingvwithbthe Western States instead of concentrating on its own country. Then this nonsensevwith Haiti … he does not want to learn!!!

    Africans are more serious than Tokyo people. The top leaders of African countries have to listen to the opinions of civilians, but can dogs speak? What will AI do about meetings? Will AI learn everything? Tokyo, where AI rules over humans, is interesting.

Going back to 30 years and following history today, one can see it only happened at this time. It could have happened at any time. The problem is compounded by many factors. When we look at the face value of the demonstrations, we fail to be objective with Kenyan problems.
