It's amazing how the catalysts behind this elections have evolved over time.
Now it the "colonialists" vs "us". Talk of propaganda
These recent political developments have exposed the soft underbelly of this country -we are actually multiple countries within one country in various ways.
Our country can be divided based on social status(Rich vs Poor), tribal affiliations (5 large tribes), demographics(age).
For those who lean towards Uhuru/Ruto, they could care less of strained international relations. According to them, they have nothing to loose.
Sure enough, we do not have to stoop to anyone but then again the pride and arrogance being shown does not match our nation's ability to stand on it's own. The fact is, we are not there yet.
It is not the time for chest thumping yet, there are other countries in the region that are coming up really fast and a small stumble of five years will see dynamics in the region change significantly.
