"Here's a few million, and you're very important to us...cough we need your country's resources cough cough cough"
-
I hope Kenya is aware that this is a strategy to keep Africa divided...Ruto is a sellout!
-
Not Africa. KENYA is on its own😅
-
Kenya is neither facing west nor east.. Kenya is facing Forward!!
-
Flipflop Ruto!! Isn't he the one who called african countries to stop using the dollar?
-
Kenya run as far as you can before you get trapped.
-
Kenya’s National anthem is 🔥
-
Joke's 😂. This 🤡 doesn't know he's being used. After Africa's history with the west, he of all people should have known better.
-
Puppet Ruto.
-
This brother is selling us out
-
Kenya is taking advantage of it's position in the geopolitical space in the region. Why do so many people think Ruto is blind, when he already can sense desperation by US to claw back from what the Chinese have achieved
-
Do what you can to deliver Kenyans to prosperity Ruto ✨️
-
Russia is at war with Ukraine but still have military in Africa. Kenya has only a few 😂cattle runners. We are leaving somalia because we.have suppressed terrorists. We are black Africans deploying in black Haiti. Wagner and Russia are not Africans or African brothers.
-
Contrary to David Shinn's claim, it is not unusual for "Western" countries to use African security or armed forces outside of the African continent. The colonial European nations used Africans to fight and die for their cause in World War 2 and they never quite gave them credit for their contributions. Furthermore, the U.S.'s assisting of Kenya to fight Al Shabab in Somalia is not a charity. It is a self-serving endeavor to reign in extremists in the African Horn that pose a threat to the United States' interests.
-
We don't need Kenya to Haiti, we can do it own ourselves, no Kenya. My question, who created the violence in Haiti?
-
Why does the US forget that Ruto said he wants to boycott the use of dollar.
-
FEAR OF CHINA ?
-
@2:18 Why you walking like this Biden? 😂😂
-
For U.S. to talk about fighting for human rights IS like a mosquito talking about treating malaria.
-
I used to think Luto was better than this am disappointed with this, don’t say Africa just say Kenya pls 😢😢😢
