Meanwhile, in Cote d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) they're waiting on the results of their elections. A friend writes that international TV has been shut off, and the borders shut, after the government claims there was widespread fraud in the North, which has not been under government control for the last 8 years. Apparently international monitors have not found widespread fraud in the North, but it seems clear that the results, which were approved by the Electoral Commission, give the opposition candidate Ouattara a majority, so the president's rep in the commission decided to tear the results up. Not a good sign for democracy, maybe not as bad as the closure of the borders, and the fatal attack on some of Ouattara's supporters yesterday.
Ivoriens, behold Kenya and shudder! An attempt to steal an election there cost over 1,500 lives, and the country pulled back from the brink of much worse. And stealing elections doesn't just cause immediate violence, but helps to create a culture of impunity and corruption which makes the overall governance, and therefore life of the people, much worse. Better to lose an election honestly than win one by deception.
None of us can not escape from what is destined. After all, it happens that you are slipping away, but this fate - tuko.co.ke again befalls you again some time later over and over again, until you get their way. We must fight, no matter how cool, but not the fact that it will produce results.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, football in England remains the best one maybe in the entire world. With some players from all over the world its teams become the best ones on European competitions, though recently it has some sort of lack of luck. Some players from Africa are there too, like https://tuko.co.ke/166712-list-uk-based-highly-rated-striker-leads-harambee-stars-squad-face-uganda-zambia.html .
