The ottoman empire reloaded(or n its way to being reloaded) I am more interested in seeing whether Russia would go for its pound of flesh after the downing of their craft, especially with turkman troops crossing the border for some more uchokozi and shelling of the YPG in syria

Thanks lochaz, musimo. I see Rus. by means and machine as key to geopolitical stability, setting it at neutral.
In Kenya/Africa it is my belief that better socioeconomics, trade & development shall dictate political discourse.
In the short term Kenyans prepare for a mass peace vote! NGOs can bank that one. I approve, fly JJ.

http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/World-Bank-warns-Kenya-over-rising-appetite-for-Chinese-loans/-/539552/3132704/-/wxlhb0/-/index.html“Kenya still has a heavy debt burden and China’s loans can bring debt to unsustainable levels. Some of China’s loans are non-concessional, which can raise debt-to-gross domestic product (GDP) levels quickly,” World Bank lead economist for Kenya Apurva Sanghi and his counterpart Dylan Johnson said. In June last year, Kenya’s total stock of debt stood at Sh2.8 trillion, accounting for 49.7 per cent of the GDP. Half of the debt load or Sh1.4 trillion was sourced from foreign marketsThere are only two emotions in the stock market, fear and hope. The problem is, you hope when you should fear and fear when you should hope

The average IQ of a Kenyan is 80, which ranks No 27 in the world but why do we have stupid people in the national Assembly. We have MPs who cannot differentiate the work of the CMA and CBK.

When asked to bring their academic credentials they run to India and come back with fake docs and the constituents clap hands and vote them in with approvals.

Africa's top 4 economies are in trouble South Africa The country is set to grow by just 0.6% this year, according to the International Monetary Fund. It's one of the slowest growing countries in one of the world's fastest growing territories. The rand plummeted 30% last year, and not just because of an emerging market sell-off. Political turmoil has also had a big impact. Angola What was once one of Africa's fastest growing economies is now on its knees and asking for help from the IMF. Angola is Africa's second largest oil producer and relies on oil for 95% of government revenue. Nigeria Africa's largest economy is buckling under the low oil price. Nigeria relies on oil for 70% of government revenue and accounts for 90% of export revenue. Kenya Kenya's economy is more resilient and diversified but there's trouble brewing in its banking sector. http://money.cnn.com/201...kenya-angola/index.html

Mckinsey on growth of African economies. Nowadays they are all over the place. About one-fifth of Africa’s GDP comes from a set of countries we call growth stars, with high rates of growth and a high score on stability. These countries, among them Côte d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Kenya, Morocco and Rwanda, are not dependent on resources for growth, are actively reforming their economies, and are increasing competitiveness. A second set of countries, the unstable growers, which account for 43% of Africa’s GDP, have experienced high growth rates over the past five years but lower scores on stability. This group includes countries such as Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria and Zambia, all of which have clear potential but need to diversify their economies away from resources, to improve their security, or stabilize their macro-economies. Finally, there are the slow growers that accounted for 38% of GDP in 2015; this group includes South Africa, Madagascar and the three major North African countries involved in the Arab Spring - Egypt, Libya and Tunisia. http://ewn.co.za/2016/05...p-for-African-economies
The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many people as possible.

Lets vote the duo in so that they can do themselves in with their land grabbing and condom dispensers at a time when we expect a correction in the main markets. After that, even the uneducated village drunk will vote based on merit. "Buy when there's blood in the streets, even if the blood is your own."

KRA plans to feed the M-Pesa transactions into its Data Warehouse and Business Intelligence (DWBI) solution that is expected become operational in September to profile financial activities of millions of M-Pesa users and suggest their income levels. The taxman’s critics, however, say the legal machinery required to set the new initiatives rolling, including constitutional amendment, will be too huge to bear. www.businessdailyafrica....8/-/bovukwz/-/index.htmlIn the world of securities, courage and patience become the supreme virtues after adequate knowledge and a tested judgment are at hand.
