Ibrahim died an activist, a nationalist and a hero for Kenya, his beloved country. He would forever be remembered in the history of Kenya. Rest well, Ibrahim From Ghana, God bless all Kenyan youth for your bravery and activism.

[@Oheneba361]

Stupid death, Ghana did a revolution and killed many corrupt people. Later the revolutionaries became thieves and founded the biggest thievery party in Ghana's history. Youth of Africa never get yourselves killed for things that can never be changed ,because those bewitching Africa don't live on the continent.

So heartbreaking to see the pain and loss in Nairobi 💔 Praying for peace and justice for all affected.

[@user-nl4bu3wh8c]

As we pray for peace and justice in Kenya, let us also pray God to bless the power hungry leaders of our political opposition parties with some humanity, and natural wisdom to allow them stop the mischievous madness using unwise youths and ignorant Kenyans to attempt to overthrow the democratic government of Kenya for them. It's immoral for adults to use inexperienced youths as human sheilds to protect them from the crime of treason of attempting to overthrow the democratic government of Kenya through unconstitutional illegal methods. Our president Dr William Ruto dropped the finance bill and now the power hungry leaders are pressuring the youth to take over the government by force by capturing the state house. Madness! Many will be arrested for treason as criminals, and many will be shot dead and die as criminals but not heroes.Kitendawili: "it's better to have a living dog to defend your rights than a dead lion."

Right. God save Kenya from power hungry leaders of opposition parties who are attempting to use their youth supporters to overthrow our democratically elected government for them. Of course many clever Kenyans can see that these cunning power hungry leaders are using the finance bill to seduce young supporters of the opposition and ignorant Kenyans to support them in their plan to sabotage the government of Kenya and to overthrow our democratically elected president. God open the eyes of Kenyans to see the wolves in sheep clothing and resist them.

[@user-nl4bu3wh8c]

​@@brianafrika254Well said Brian. These power and money hungry politicians, more so in the opposition parties, do not value the lives of poor young Kenyans who support them. For example with political lies and cunning words they incited young Kenyans to go to parliament building, overwhelm the police officers and capture the parliament building, knowing very well that the security forces of Kenya will use lethal force, arrest some of them, and use live bullets to wound and even kill the most violent and militant among them to remove them, trespassing Invaders from our parliament building. God save Kenya from such pro-death power hungry political party leaders. Imagine now these pro-death politicians are inciting their supporters to go capture the state house, where our democratically elected president lives, knowing very well that the security forces will fight against the invading militant forces with violence and live bullets if they find it necessary. These politicians enjoy watching our unwise youths engage in illegal and unconstitutional militant activities and commit grievous crimes, fighting with security forces armed with live ammunition which could result to their arrest and at times to security forces wounding some or shooting some of them to death. They joke and gamble with the young lives of their poor supporters and when their supporters are killed during militants engagement with security forces, these pro-death politicians glorify the deaths of these poor souls calling them heroes. God save our youth from all political wolves. Kitendawili: "The toads that the boys killed in jest died in earnest."

[@user-nl4bu3wh8c]

My regards for your opinion sir. However, I what should be in every news in world is how some political opposition parties leaders in Kenya, who lost in the last presidential elections in Kenya 2022, are now using the the unwise youths protests to attempt to overthrow the democratic government of Kenya and to remove our democratically elected president from office. It's also important to note that many patriotic Kenyans and citizens do not support their militant attempt to use unconstitutional coup d'etat take over the government for the opposition leaders. The unconstitutional illegal trespass to our Kenya parliament, capturing the building and burning parliament assets in and attempt to take over the state house for the opposition parties leaders amounts to treason and coup d'etat which is being resisted by our national security forces and unless properly settled, it has the potential of driving Kenyans into a bloody civil war.

Sincere condolences, from Nigeria, to the families of those killed! Sorry for all your losses. May your fight not be for nothing. Please don't give up now, don't let the dead die for nothing. Although, sadly, some African governments will express solidarity with the Kenyan government, especially as they share similar political ideologies or governance styles, the world is watching your government, and I believe this is the worst they can do. It's so unfortunate that other African governments would not condemn and criticise the Kenyan government for the atrocity for fear of similar issues within their countries. I bet they fear condemnation might invite scrutiny of their own human rights records or incite unrest among their populations. Weaklings!
