this one is hard to blame on the auto spell

Well well ladies and gentlemen hii kitu came by ship but ya'all know what I mean.

Tuko na shida sana waafrika . What are these two foolish leaders planning to get after all this ? Be like arap magardens, be patient and eat slowly till full and your turn will come.

Machar soldiers are better in trench and bush warfare. Aerial bombardment may not help much esp if as rumoured Machar may be in heavily forested Western Equatorial where he enjoys backing of the locals. he has been tactical by keeping off communication even with close associates hence not easy to track. Soon he may be out of the country and this may complicate situation further as he will build up diplomatic sympathy and build up his arms arsenal.

Machar yawa!

Did you read this story?

I had heard of this story from Kenyans there but not to that detail. This story was from the "glory days". Oil prices were high - money was flowing e.t.c. it's getting more and more dire by the day - terrible. The Government has no money, South Sudanese army had been allowed to rape women in lieu of wages while fighting rebels. Terrible!! South Sudan is africa's armpit. As soon as the sun goes darkness covers over the land. unless you have a generator. Juba has more hotels that schools... terrible. I heard a story about the office of an MP that was so dark that they decided to handle their business out in the sun. While doing that, the narrator asked - "you don't have power?" and the reply was... I have not had power for 3 weeks. Apparently if you are "lucky" enough to be connected to the national grid... blackouts could be ad infinitum. Terrible place. But I think this problem is simple but the solution is not easy - All these South Sudanese you see there - don't have it's interest at heart. Each has 2 or 3 passports. They have tasted a better life somewhere else and will not spend time building S.S. Everyone has a ticket out! The unlucky ones are the ones who have never stepped out of that place - they pay for it. Personally, I met an MP who does not have a house there!! he lives in a hotel! paying hundreds of dollars a day and is not bothered. Terrible terrible place. Someone once called them VIPs (Very Important Plunderers).

I have this sinking feeling that this place is going to have a genocide worse than Rwanda. Something unprecedented. I hope Kenyans are moving out.

This Machar guy has been cornered and he is probably planning to take the whole country down with him. Kiir has no brain to realise that you don't seal all exits when you want to kill an enemy.

I have always argued that Kenya has it's issues with ethnicity, we have issues but we have decency. We treat each other with decency. We can say "hao wajaluo" but we have a couple of luo guys we are cool with. We can dismiss hao wakikuyu but we know a couple of kikuyus we can hang around. S.S. has no such thing. they have been fighting since 1955 with small breaks in between civil war... they really don't know anything but war. We know some peace- sometimes uneasy peace but we move forward. We treat our foreigners nicely... a story is told about a Kenyan whose car was hit by a S.S. car and when the police came he ruled in the favor of the South sudanese - when the Kenyan asked he was told

Who here remembers the demand and supply curve for markets in Business education? I have always pictured it as the sweetspot... the equilibrium

only that the curves are not demand and supply but rather arrogance and ignorance.

It is very easy to criticize politicians and leaders and I know I also do it all the time but of late I have started to think about it seriously and I cannot imagine a more difficult job than being a leader in any semblance of democracy. Hii kazi ya uongozi ni ngumu. I can see what is wrong with the situation in South Sudan but I ask myself if say I was put in Salva Kiir position right now, where would I start? I do not have an inkling of what needs to be done to remedy the situation. It is not a science where there is a known solution to the problem and of all options you may have you have no way of predicting the results until you are deep in it. You just have to pick a direction and start moving and keep moving no matter what because you can't start and change and start in a different direction. If say Obama was today made the president of South Sudan would he be more successful than Salva Kiir over a 5 year 10 year or 15 year period?
