Following the significance of the ongoing insecurity in Laikipia and Samburu, the Maa Civil Society Organizations have been organizing to air their grievances. There have been claims that the media has not satisfactorily covered the suffering of the people as a result of banditry for the last several months now.
Due to this reason, the RETO Women Association and Friends of Kanampiu Survivors was to hold a press statement release yesterday, Friday 25th September 2009 at Six Eighty (680) Hotel in Nairobi. The press statement was meant to appeal to the government for support to defend the Samburu people against banditry.
Diaspora Kenyans and friends of Samburu all over the world are requesting you who were at the meeting in Nairobi, to kindly share with us the press release and update us about the meeting. However, there is one report from Leparmara to Tina Ramme on Facebook. To read the report, please follow the link below. THE TEARS AT THE KILLING FIELDS OF SAMBURU:
lets go an d never stop to consider what they will say. Desmond Tutu once said when asked on whether he belonged to the liberators or the church. “if fighting for fairness an justice is a sin then i am a sinner. And liberation is indivisible. you are not free until all the blacks are free. For freedom for the blacks means freedom for you too.”
Honest points my brother! Now get 10 of your friends who think like you. Let it role from one liberator to the other, and if it’s a sin, let us all be sinners! It is better to be that kind of a sinner than to be a saint who stand by and witness countless Samburu, Somalia, Pokots and Kibera’s children dying due to preventable deaths. Let us all sin for true liberation!
