Oslo, Norway 10th May 2020

Well, so here I am at this very moment preparing for yet another week with home office. Things are changing. In my home town they are serving beer and alcohol at the pubs, restaurants are slowly opening again. The normalcy is sort of returning, but with modifications. Less public transport, more home-office and adjustment in concern of cleaning of public spaces.

There are less death, less transmitted disease, the fear and worry of going to the grocery is sort of gone. Even if the knowledge that this could be a temporary state. Because, these sort of pandemics goes in cycles. Even we are going down on the curve as we speak. There is still a possibility of second wave, which can hit as hard or harder. Since people took it easy after the first measures and lockdowns.

We are not the only one, because the economy is the blessing that rules earth. “Cash Rules Everything Around Me, C.R.E.A.M Get the Money, Dollar Dollar Bill Y’All” (Wu Tang Clan). The words of the wordsmiths of Wu Tang still resonates with me too this day. With every living day on this earth, the addiction and the needs for currency gets ever so real.

That is why in the midst of a pandemic. Rising numbers of deaths. The still current escalations around us. Still governments tumbling to fix it. South Korea tried to re-open some functions, they closed them, when there cases connected them to them. They we’re open a hot minute before closing. Therefore, the project re-open needs to be done with care and consideration. Not only to the powerful dollar. That will not solve anything, maybe monetary liquidity of failing enterprises, but lives will be lost over the saving grace of silver coins.

We can wonder for ourselves, if the re-opening will be another social experiment. Where the state with an app and adjustments hopes that lesser people catches the sickness. Less people interact and uphold the social distance, washing of hands and such. Because, sooner or later these lessons might go astray. Since, there is no signs or effects in the open. As everything is normalizing. Has that been considered?

That is the risk of opening, even with the measures at hand. People will behave like people. That is just the way it is. This is the reality. We can hope that all the sanitizers, the cleanliness and all other efforts sticks until a vaccine is on the horizon. However, until then the reality needs to be caution. We have not been under lockdown, under self preserved quarantine for months and not ensured safety of more people. Neither, not having results of public change.

It is easy to forget, but for me… I have been stuck in my own home since mid-March. I am grateful to be as healthy as I went in. However, we can’t loose the end-game here. That we have remedy and cure, that he a fix for the issue. Because, right now, we are losing up for the mighty dollar and not because lives matters. Yes, these months has been a burden on companies, organizations and the state. But, money they can print new every single day, but, but a person only lives once.

That is why that unique person should be valued more than the currency. Yes, we all got to live, have a livelihood and a working society. However, for a short while trading away the perks, the benefits of 2020 and the socialization we are used too. Might do good, because we might extend someone’s life, who has medical conditions, which easily can harm that person even more if it gets COVID-19. That’s why its worth it and that’s the pivotal thing for the self-quarantine.

Not because the challenge was big for me or for anyone else sticking to home office. To not take public transport and follow advice. However, the greater good, the achievement of serving everyone as a citizen and as a person. Yes, it cost, but it is meagre compared to the ones whose really suffering. I just stayed in my home and only went to the grocery. This is nothing compared to others who fought in wars or faced starvation. We are lucky in that sense, that this was our way out of the pandemic for now. Because it could have been much worse.

We just have too see. Never give up and continue on. A luta Continua. Never give up. Never give in. Have hope for a better tomorrow and not let COVID-19 win. Peace.

Opinion: The Dynasties are in it for the long-con

Now, it’s revealed that the Kenya African National Union (KANU) and Jubilee Party is seeking a Post-Election coalition. This is happening during this week, as the letters are leaked. They are showing the parties are starting to work together. This means that Gideon Moi (KANU), the son of Daniel Arap Moi is scheming ahead with Uhuru Kenyatta (Jubilee Party), the son of Jomo Kenyatta.

So, here we are the Handshake between Kenyatta and Odinga sidelined the Tanga Tanga. The Orange Democratic Movement got an upper-hand, as the purge on allies of Deputy President William Ruto has continued in the Senate and in Parliament. While, the likes of Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka have been able to get a honourable task in South Sudan. While Musalia Mudavadi and Moses Wetangula has both left the short end of the stick.

Now, they are all a bit on the rocks. Not that Raila Odinga and his men isn’t covered. They are at least in the halfway house until the elections. While Kenyatta continues scheming and making ways to secure the future. First he bought peace with Odinga and now he secures the future with Moi,

This is Kenyatta and Moi settling the score. They are planning ahead of 2022. This is how to sideline the Hustler Nation and Ruto. The DP was already pushed to the side with the handshake. Where the buying the peace and securing a ally by buying time and making Odinga a pseudo-government-official. That has worked like a tailspin. The carrot being working for a sort of constitutional change or a referendum, by making it look like a joint venture.

Also giving both of them a viable choice ahead of the election. Using Gideon as a shield, as Uhuru cannot govern another term. The trade is a boost Moi need to have any shot. Its a trade that makes sense for them. However, than there will be more friction between Tanga Tanga and if they are going out of the Jubilee creating something else ahead of the election.

ODM will still be in the limbo after this. They have already traded off some of the leverage. Unless, the ODM and Odinga ditches the BBI. Then, they will also suffer consequences of being nowhere. Yes, the will be the majority opposition in Parliament, but that’s it. They can’t use the previous election nor come with new solutions. Because, they don’t have the majority Jubilee has.

Now, that Jubilee have aligned itself with KANU. We are seeing that both Tanga Tanga and ODM is sidelined. The whole former NASA and CORD isn’t there. They are all outplayed and has little to give. Unless, they are able to forge a grander plan and a manifesto, which grasps the public ahead of 2022. These men are clearly out there fishing, but Odinga hasn’t saved them and neither will Kenyatta.

Moi has with this made himself very relevant. His father is someone Kenyatta and Ruto went to for advice. Surely, they now see it as fit to forge away for Gideon. If the public will give another dynasty ago. That is something the time will tell. Odinga is surely still the Baba of many and has able to switch the coin plenty of times. However, will he be able to sell a new “Canaan” away from the BBI?

I have a hard time seeing that, unless his that conning and wise. That he turns this around and can spin the wheel from his pseudo-government-official environment into a reformer again. Since, his sort of traded with the peace gathering and the whole BBI.

Kenyatta is the one for now, who does the moves of a victor. However, that means he still need the biggest support of Jubilee behind him. Even if the Tanga Tanga flees. They got to figure if they will accept a dynasty ticket. That is not easy, because they supposed to be loyal to Ruto.

The losers here for the long-con is Odinga and Ruto. Unless, Odinga accept his half-way house and seems content with those prospects. However, Ruto is losing and quickly. Sooner or later, the KANU representatives will be upgraded into offices and then the Tanga Tanga will be taken out. That is just a matter of time. As a warning of the shifting alliances ahead of 2022. Peace.

Burundi: Plans to send the “Verification Squad” into Quarantine to after the polls

The CNDD-FDD and the appointed CENI have all together concocted this and ensured that this could happen. They have ensured that the East African Community Election Observation Mission to Burundi would end up in Quarantine. Since its not there and has not yet been scheduled to arrive according to letters released. They are ensuring that the observer mission from the EAC will earliest, if they travel today be off the hook days after the polls.

That is a smart move. They will not see the polling stations, will not see the initial drop of ballots nor the tactics used by government to get people to vote. They can do it all without foreigners intervening. Because, there is no other EOM in the Republic at that time. There is talk of a few CSOs, but these local ones will not bully or unlock it all. As they want to have a ability to work after the polls too.

This game is rigged, that is why its campaigning during the COVID-19 or Coronavirus. Where huge rallies are held by both CNDD-FDD and CNL. However, we know the game is ready and the ruling regime will continue their hold of the country. As activists and leaders of CNL is intimidate or sudden gone missing.

There is even talks of weird sudden deaths appearing, which could be COVID-19, as there is no extensive testing nor protocol of a lockdown, as the elections are going as scheduled. The spread is maybe happening within the crowds at rallies. Who knows how bad it really is and what it does to the community.

The polls, the results and everything else is already ticked off. The State is running it clockwork. That is why they are lucky to have no observer or mission looking into the legal remedies, nor the practical organizations of the elections or the legitimacy as a whole. They don’t have safari teams from the African Union, European Union, Commonwealth, EAC nor IGAD. There are no foreign mission doing it. The authorities are free to hold the elections and no one else saying a word.

So, the 20th May 2020 can go down without any interference, any questions or even some eagle eyes scoping the possible breaches of trust and credibility of the affairs. The Safari teams from abroad can only, if they will be quarantined to over the polls and can only travel across the Republic when the counting is presiding and look over the procedural things. They cannot see how they did it or what they did. The ballots can be toyed around with or the security organizations can intimidate people to vote a certain way.

What we do know is that CNDD-FDD and its allies are happy with this. They are making the world blind to the affair. They cannot state or have options to look into it. The government can do as they please. Its that easy, we know that the (s)elected leader of CNDD-FDD will win. Evariste Ndayishimiye will be next President and that on the blessing of Nkurunziza. Who surely will reign in his shadow. He didn’t battle and conquer all his enemies to retire.

So, the only foreign verification squad or safari-group will be in quarantine, if they are even coming from the EAC. It seems like the scope, the amount of people nor the EOM itself isn’t structured and therefore, soon a fishing expedition to get it done in time.

CNDD-FDD gets their way and no one will see it. The Watchmen is stuck in quarantine, while they can boil all the numbers without a question. No one seeing it and no one reporting on it. If they do, they will get into trouble as this regime doesn’t spare lives nor anyone who questions it. That’s why this government will secure their result by all means. Nkurunziza and Ndayishimiye will not accept that. Peace.
