The ugly horror in beautiful Kenya

Posted January 11, 2008 10:00 pm

Reports that have been received from Nairobi, Kenya indicate widespread violence, especially within slum areas.

Many of the churches are being burned with refuges still inside. In Eldoret, a church was burned with about 30 people losing their lives. One woman escaped with her baby from the flames, only to have the child ripped from her arms and thrown back into the inferno.

Losing presidential candidate Raila Odinga's father was a well-known Communist, and the candidate himself studied in East Germany before if became free. Rumors report that Odinga received funding for his election campaign from North Korea. Odinga comes from the same mold as Zimbabwe's Marxist butcher, Robert Mugabe.

If either North Korea or Zimbabwe supply Odinga with additional funds, this could be a very long civil war for the poor who are being used as fodder in a Marxist takeover in the beautiful land of Kenya.
