Kenya has been under a lot of stress lately. An election gone wrong and two candidates fighting over the result. In the meantime, the country has torn itself apart. It reminds me of a parable from the Old Testament.
Two women came to King Solomon for judgment of a dispute. It was over a child and who the mother was. Both claimed the child and King Solomon saw a way to clear the dispute. He offered to halve the child in half and give each of them the child. While one agreed, the other turned down the offer. King Solomon realized the woman who turned down the offer was the true mother because she feared for the child’s life.
This seems to be the same scenario. Except this time, neither candidate deserves the election as they are too consumed by their differences to save the people. Well, I hope that is an accurate summary of the parable and application to the real world.
Now in Chad some rebels have taken the capital, the president is in hiding and loyalist forces have begun measures to retake the capital. Zimbabwe got anything coming? Maybe Nigeria?
Looks as though the new AFCOM is going to have its hands full.
