Choices have consequences. Uhuru should look at the trade volumes,investments and general interests between the west and east to Kenya,Then only can he make an informed decision

I have said it here over and over again (feel free to quote me) - the World is a supermarket! you pick what you want and leave what you want. I know some Christians are pissed of at the Palestine move (the "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee." group of persons). it's a good move by Kenya! (quick question - who actually says Jerusalem in the hands of Israelis will be peaceful? Jerusalem has changed hands 11 times - The Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Persians, Byzantines, Arabs, Crusaders, the Mamelukes, the Turks and the British). Secondly those investors kama hawataki kukuja kenya waende kwingine. just because you are friendly to Palestinians that does not make you hostile to Israelis. sometimes all other UNSC members vote for a resolution and US vetos it. are all other nations opposed to Israel?

the states in green recognize Palestine, the states in Red don't, the yellows abstained from the vote to upgrade palestine from observer to a "non-member observer state"

what is the problem with this 'facing east' thing? Isn't the whole of Africa, in her own interest, increasingly welcoming China's and India's advances? (OK I know the problem with the occidental leaning fellows is China but India is trying too)

Who said we can only face one direction? Can't we face both east and west? We've been courting the western markets for too long, how about ADDING(not SUBSTITUTING) some from the East?

its because in the minds of some people here - you cannot have both... its either one or the other <---- this is faulty thinking!!
