Kenya: Ruto Stuck in US, China Rivalry in Africa? | Firstpost Africa

[@EmmanuelMotelin]

RUTO doesn't look east or west, he only looks forward to where opportunities lie. The establishment of bilateral ties between Kenya and the USA, similar to those with China which spans for decades, implies that Kenya stands to gain in multiple areas, rather than depending solely on one party.

[@antonymangaara2022]

HE IS A PUPPET

[@abrahamdabo2576]

Well said!!!!

[@huas5350]

Indians cannot understand this normal foreign policy

[@muyambiantonio4540]

He just allowed the US military use of Kenyan soil, 60 years after Kenyans, with a lot of blood spilled got rid of British colonialists. A most unfortunate decision. Kenyans will soon discover the US military is even more difficult to get rid of.

[@NeoTsuKhoon]

Why need to consider?? If US is sincere, Africa wouldn't have been taken advantage of by US and the West for decades and decades

[@irenenjoel]

Kenya resources are manpower and revice rendering...not gold and diamond. That's why the WEST wants kenya to be its technological capital and hub in Africa, for feature data management of all Africans. It's very unlikely to break a war in Kenya based on the scramble of resource. Google and co are already building skyscrapers in nrb. Creating employment and settings even more military bases in the region. Kenyans...we have been sold off😢

[@lonahnyamwala]

So you want to tell me that Chinese a sincere to Africa? please let our president play his game, and am sure he knows what he doing

[@Faridkhalid-z3p]

Thank you my friend, I see an idiot think west are the option for Africa, once a slave always a slave, neither China or Americans are innocent but what has Americans done for Kenyans? Rather than being at the shadow war between American and alshabab, and guess who’s is in a cross fire? Kenyans, good example when alshabab attacked the mall, Kenyans you need to wake up, this is not you fight let Americans put their soulders in Somalia and not you, as the results you will be a target from those alshabab animals. This is not your war I repeat

[@firdausidris6367]

@@lonahnyamwala At least China brought developments; roads, high speed trains to Arica in short span of time. The West only made millionaire corrupt leaders. If you still trust the West, you're not learning from past history.

[@malama_ka_aina]

It's a great strategy, but Ruto is forgetting that the US does not respect Africans, neither does China. The main difference is China is actually doing, whilst America is just talking. I hope Ruto has the wisdom to make that delicate balancing act work for his country. My personal take, he will not, he's too easily swayed by all the deceptive attention he's getting from all sides.

Ruto will be in a hurry to fly to any country that offers goodies, not only China and the US. Apart from those two countries, he has attended African conferences hosted by South Korea, Russia and Italy, just to name a few. Winning the presidency in Kenya is like winning a lottery. Travel and entertainment budget is in the tune of $100m a year while 90% of Kenyans cannot afford 3 square meals in a day.

Infornative information for knowledge seekers listening is an important asset. DON'T FORGET THAT THE HISTORY OF CONTEMPORARY AFRICA SHOULD BE SERIOUSLY TAKEN FROM AFTER THE 1950S WHEN WHITE EUROCENTRICISM COLONIAL MIGHTY MIGHT POWER WITH UK IN THE LEAD "BLACK" FRICANS STARTED GETTING INDEPENDENCE. GHANA WAS THE FIRST. REMAIN MINDING THE "STATES" COLONIALLY CREATED IN 1884-1885. AFTER WWII KENYA then still a British Colony faced a WAR of liberation lead by Jomo Kinyata. It was a terrible WAR many former British Colonial Subjects fo remember. SO WHEN KENYA WITH RUTO OF AFRICA LOOKING FORWARD AND COMPARES USA/CHINA HE FORGETS THE HELL OF DIFFERENCES CHINA NEVER COLONISED ANY COUNTRY BUT WSS TOO A FORMER WHITE EUROCENTRIC HISTORICAL SUBJECT. AFRICAN SHOULD/ MUST THINK AFRICAN. THE DIE IS CAST. FOR AFRICA THE YOUNG ARE ALREADY ENDEVOUERED WITH THE NEW PARADIGME DEMANDING EQUALITY RESPECT FROM FORMER IMPERIAL POWERS.
