    Tusker78, American's can't locate E.A/K.E coz majority are ignorant of what lies outside their borders. This aint our problem but theirs. 2ndly, as Africans, we need to stop looking to the west, Obama included, as our saviors. They aint gods, and Africa will always come last in respect to their countries. We need to know we're the only ones who can change our destiny. Moreover, scrambling to be bossom buddies with the west definately puts us in the line of fire in wars that were not our concern.

    Tusker78, American's can't pinpoint the location of E.A/K.E due to the mere fact that majority are ignorant of what lies outside their borders. This aint our problem but theirs. 2ndly, as Africans, we need to stop looking to the west, Obama included, as our saviors. They aint gods, and Africa will always come last in respect to their countries. We need to know we're the only ones who can change our destiny.

    “This is something we expect from a third world country, not from the United States,” Why is this statement so hilariously true?

    This is how what ODM did at Kiambaa church and other killings across the country will continue to haunt and embarass Odinga.What you do in Kenya is unacceptable in a just society.Odinga should be careful for he might be arrested in new York for crimes against humanity.Wait and see
