Question: Why is Iran, which has not invaded anyone and which supports indigenous resistance to occupation in Palestine denied nuclear technology while Australia, whose troops committed horrible crimes in Afghanistan and which abuses its indigenous population, gets nuclear subs?
The racism underlying US nuclear proliferation policy is captured by the fact that it orchestrated a coup in Ghana in the 60s partly to get them to dismantle the atomic reactor Nkrumah was building at the same time it was helping apartheid South Africa build a nuclear weapon.

Yet again, I must emphasize that @Kenyajudiciary has brought this upon themselves by condoning the regular abuse of police powers of arrest against ordinary Kenyans. They have ignored, even encouraged, a situations where, on average, 1 in every 10 Kenyans is arrested every year.
While defending @Kenyajudiciary from "revisiting" by a President who believes the Constitution should not stand in the way of his dream to rule on high as King, we must not forget, nor excuse, its abominable failure to defend regular Kenyans from similar predation by the state.
"Kenya has incarcerated more of its citizens per 100,000 population than any other country in Eastern Africa with the exception of Rwanda and Ethiopia".

Lap 1. Red flag. Disaster for RBs as Ver is taken out by Ham. Joy for Scuds as Lec inherits the lead. What will the stewards make if it?

THIS!!! What law in Kenya creates the office of the First Lady, and why have we been paying for it since Kibaki's time? (In 2008, the GNU @RailaOdinga and Kamau are attempting to resurrect via BBI tried to include PM's and VP's wives in that deal as well).

In 2014, then AG Githu Muigai (also of the BBI Brigade) argued that there was no provision in our laws for creating and funding offices of County First Ladies but did not share the law creating one for his boss' wife.
(Notice how reductive the headline is and how it attempts to sensationalise the issue and make it about the relatively trivial distinction about how they should be addressed rather than the much more important question of the prudent use of public funds.)

As "civilized" Europe, including France which had looted Haiti for a century to compensate former slavers, dissolved into WW1, the US robbed the Haitian National Bank then used the killing of the Haitian President as a pretext for a 19-year occupation.

The US government today describes its holding up the Haitian National Bank on behalf of US's Citibank as a selfless act of "safekeeping".

The story of "independent" Haiti, deliberately looted, impoverished and invaded from the start, then blamed for the resulting instability, is the story of colonialism and "independence" in Africa.

#DayBreak If experts cannot explain to the common man what they are doing, then they are not experts. It is ridiculous to argue that representatives of the people should not actually reflect the people. @TrevorOmbija
#DayBreak Ukoloni has taught folks like your panelists that they cannot think or reason unless they have a certificate from some institution saying they can. They display a real contempt for the common people without degrees whose interests they claim to defend. @TrevorOmbija
#DayBreak It is the people with degrees and PhDs who have run this country into the ground. The unlettered folks in movements like the KLFA did not need degrees to understand that the colonial system, defended by the educated collaborators, needed to be overthrown. @TrevorOmbija
