While doing some readings, I stumbled upon some interesting stuff from @Owaahh giving a historical perspective of the Luo-Kikuyu animosity that has held 🇰🇪 hostage for 50+years.

This is something he wrote way back in 2017 and might interest you too.

LONG 🧵 OWAAH: Most explorations of this question will start in 1969, with the murders of Mboya, Argwings Kodhek, and the Russia Hospital massacre.

That, and the oathing that followed and escalated, then the banning of the KPU, and everything else. But that's the middle of the story.

I'd like to talk on a topic many bloggers are shying off from for their own reasons. Today @C_NyaKundiH will be charged for 'spreading malicious rumours' on Ruaraka Sh10B land scam, this will be his 7th case in court under 2 weeks. What's happening to Cyprian is what you call state harassment, even the worst of criminals aren't trumped with charges, arrested & re arrested as they've done to him.

For those who don't conform with his style, it is okay & this normalization should worry every SM user.
