  America Votes

   » ‎ Kenya Imagine

  Tags:  US election 2008  

  It is the fourth of November, the Tuesday after the first Monday of November. America votes today, and the world watches.
  

  We ran a similar programme when Kenya voted at the end of last year, and we can only hope the Americans enjoy a post-election period more peaceful than ours.

  Losing it, first maurin dodd nytempus in latin, and then the weird prison video of McCain

   » ‎ Kenya Imagine

  Tags:  US election 2008  

  Whatever. I liked this, do you? How far can you get before capitus explodit, or whatever. Pity we haven't Latin or even Arabic to occupy our mostly idle Kenyan pupils, eh? They are knitting and making stool stools instead.

  Who is a Maverick

   » ‎ Kenya Imagine

  Tags:  US Elections  

  The American elections are taking on an ugly turn. Quite ugly--- it is both annoying/irritating and disturbing. The rotten campaign is headed by our good friend Senator John McCain.
  
  McCain and Governor Sarah Palin are attempting to make Obama as risky and scary as they possibly can.

  Protests at the RNC in St. Paul (slideshow)

   » ‎ Kenya Imagine

  Tags:  US election 2008  

  Nekessa Opoti:
  What began as peaceful protests in St. Paul, Minnesota today ended in the arrests of close to 150 people.

  Many of the protesters were anti-war activists. Some had been preparing for at least a year to protest the Republican National Convention (RNC). Others just showed up today. At least 10,000 people, from Minnesota and the rest of the US, showed up on the streets of downtown St. Paul.

  What is America's stake in this?

   » ‎ Kenya Imagine

  Tags:  US Kenya relations  

  America's involvement in Kenya's post-elections political crises must be seen against the background of its "war on terror"- and the unilateralism that propelled it.
  
  The State Department at first congratulated President Mwai Kibaki on his re-election but later rescinded as European Union and other observers reported irregularities in the vote-count. Since then, the Bush administration has been trying not to take sides in the election dispute and his Ambassador taken unofficial role as the Spokesperson for the entire International community pressuring Kenya's political elite to come to a compromise. To America, it is unfathomable that one of its most reliable and crucial partners in the "war against terror" was going to crumble in its lap.

  Tags:  US Episcopalian Church  

  One of the hottest stories on the New York Times yesterday was an account describing the coronation of two US Anglican Bishops in Nairobi's All Saints Cathedral. The Head of the Anglican Church of Kenya, Archbishop Benjamin Nzimbi, joined the train of African Anglican primates consecrating new bishops in the breakaway orthodox stream of the US Episcopalian Church.

  Quaking Under Fear!

  Collins Mbalo on the recent earthquakes in Nairobi.
  
  Based on this report it is rumored that the U.S embassy has advised its citizenry in case of a disaster to report to its local embassy for evacuation. Perhaps this is the cause of change of stance from the government's total denial of an earthquake in the offing, to the recent publication of a statement declaring the impossibility of certainty in earhtquake predicition, and then to the latest one publishing evacuation procedures to be employed in the case of a disaster.
  
  Whatever happens, it is sad that even in the 21st Century, we are not prepared for natural disasters of great magnitude. We lack the capacity to manage these events, but even worse we do not really care what happens. That is definitely a wake up call for us.
