The only thing that makes #BBIReport persist is that GoK is working with Western governments on a racist narrative of "Kenyans always fight tribal wars over elections."

Euro-America needs a simplistic story to keep the GoK going. That's they only thing that is keeping BBI.

We have to understand that electoral violence is necessary for politicians. They need it to keep the racist narrative alive for wazungu, and to traumatize us to accept anything they ask for.

If we can break through the self-blame about elections, #BBIReport is dead on arrival.

Break through begins with knowing that electoral violence was started in 1957 by the British. With accompanying peace messaging.

The British hated Jaramogi and KANU because it was associated with Mau Mau. So they sent the army to Nyanza during the 1957 elections. True story.

Since 1957, politicians send trained soldiers to train militias with bows, arrows and pangas to rural areas around elections, so that they can tell the liberal Western world "yes, we Africans don't know how to vote," and to tell us "look what will happen if we don't protect you."

Western diplomats are happy to play along with this scam because they don't have to answer questions back home, and their leaders can keep hide their exploitation of Africa by cheating their citizens that Africans are poor because we don't know civilized democracy. #BBIReport

This is why we must stop repeating the "we Kenyans are so tribal" narrative. We're not. We're sane people, we vote for issues that matter to us. The elites rig the elections and traumatize others to vote for them for fear of suffering violence. #BBIReport

Just like we exposed the West in 2017 with its election observer nonsense, we have to expose the lies making the West and African elites push for #BBIReport. Kenyans, we can do this. We made CNN come and apologize, we made a whole Western world back down on election observation.

We need to keep letting the world know that we can see through the racism that makes Western countries support #BBIReport. This is their project. It's not a project of the Kenyan people.
