Shouting Loudly
I will shout loudly. We all must shout loudly so that the Samburu lives continue. Rumour succeeds almost as well as reality itself in spreading fear. And rumours are abounding of Somali mercenaries preparing to attack the Samburu at the political instigation of Kenyan government officials. The phrase rumour spreads is “Impending Doom.” The problem (and fear) is that they may well be real. Certainly the Oromo Liberation Front is real and confirmed by highly reliable sources.
But shouting loudly and clearly is different than whispering fearful rumours. Speak out against the public indifference and private instigation of the Kenyan police and government against the Samburu people. Lives depend on our voices.
From Tina:
Thank you for being warriors for the Samburu’s rights. We all are cheered by your fight from afar and the knowledge that you stand with us in solidarity.
We have gotten word that a Somali militia group has arrived in Isiolo, paid soldiers of fortune, to help finish the job, supposedly commissioned by Kenyan government officials. The groups recruited were the Oromo Liberation Front and a group called Awija. This has been confirmed true by dozens of other reliable sources.
We have been instructed to ‘prepare for impending doom.’ Let’s hope this is a false alarm or disabled before we realize any consequences, However, if anything unfortunate should happen, please promise you will continue to shout loudly from there.
All the best,
Tina
