I am amazed that you completely throw out the window the wisdom in preventive measures and simply wait for the crimes to physically happen then respond to them. It's a no-brainer that most of the extreme and mass violent crimes have been facilitated and coordinated digitally.

At what point will she simply be referred to as Michelle Jones as opposed to "this child murderer"? It's just not right to blatantly disregard all her twenty years of transformation

I'm a bit interested with your comment. Do we have 8 year olds playing around with environment variables in the OS? I'm curious because I never thought that could be possible

Thank you for your well articulated post. I'm Bantu also from Kenya ( Meru).

Since when has this been the case? Have they been traditionally enemies or politics has succeeding in dividing people along ethnic lines? I think politics and not tribes is the culprit here. The latter was just a convenient platform to stratify the populace by early politicians for their political survival and dominance.

No, you won't kill it so casually. It is: "legally bought from the thieves".

This is highly anecdotal and based on personal (and professional) experience here in Kenya. Though the Chinese have been present in the country for a while, their signature project was the Thika Superhighway (2009-2012). This captured the imagination of everyone from citizens to the government. Since then, virtually all the major infrastructure projects have been undertaken by Chinese contractors that have set camp in the country. Their model of financing (through grants and ‘cheap’ loans), designing and building has ensured Chinese firms have an upper hand compared to local contractors. This has pushed many local contractors out of business and consequently rendered majority of local young engineers highly unemployed. Generally, there is a quiet uneasiness with the dominance of the Chinese in the infrastructure arena but as it stands; they’re having a field day here in Kenya. I’m convinced this is playing out in many other African countries.
