African leaders at it again

Dear editor, Allow me to tell you that the business of African politicians who try to earn living at the expense of their own citizen’s lives should stop immediately.

Dear editor,
 
Allow me to tell you that the business of African politicians who try to earn living at the expense of their own citizen’s lives should stop immediately.

Few elections in Africa have ended peacefully without violence and death of supporters and innocent people. The same case is happening in Kenya where up to 800 people have already lost life.

Since Kenya elections last year, Kibaki and Odinga have been conflicting over power issue. A lot of efforts have been put into place to harmonize them but still some signs of discontent among them are underway.

Kibaki and Odinga seem to keep their eyes blind and concentrating on power struggle and messing Kenyan politics. This makes the rest of the population suffer.

Police has shot at people instead of keeping law and order in the country; members of parliament have been killed in such a reckless manner.

These are shameless acts. The strife has not only tarnished part of Kenya’s image but also hurt business in all neighbouring countries.

Kibaki and Odinga should save Kenya from destruction and solve their problems peacefully. Look at Zimbabwe; they seem to be heading for the same kind of violence. What a shame for the African continent.

How come a respected leader decides to seat on elections results? This is completely unbelievable especially in this century.
