Kenya a failed state?
What you need to know:
- Do you agree Kenya is a failed state?
- Is the country misunderstood?
- What are the solutions?
Kenya is 14th, right next to Burma, in the latest rankings of Failed States by the US-based Fund for Peace. This has triggered a major debate whether the peace deal that halted the election-related violence of 2008 marked the country's turn back to normalcy or for the worst.
The Independent newspaper of the UK discussed some of the issues in this article: Kenya's decline and fall. One major charge is that Kenya is suffering under the weight of a vision-less leadership that is single-mindedly committed to using corruption to fund-raise for the next round of chaos.
What is you comment, has Kenya joined the league of banana republics? Are commentators misreading Kenya? What is the way out?
