I don't mean to open old wounds, but I stumbled upon this video on YouTube of Uhuru apparently beseeching angry members of his community to maintain peace at the height of post election violence. He pleads with them, earnestly, not to fall into their enemies schemes by retaliating and therefore justifying their (enemies') violence. That they must maintain peace no matter what. He also promises that those who have been displaced will be resettled back in their land, and that their captors will be brought to book - one day - before the whole world.
There are many things I find interesting about this video.
1) That it was only recently uploaded on YouTube (Oct. 28, 2013)
2) That it was not (to my knowledge) published by mainstream media, in spite of the fact that at least two of their mics is visible in the video.
3) That it has attracted only 45 views and no comments since. It's a short time I know, but I find the video profound.
4) That a man who apparently spoke so passionately to "his people" against violence is the one now accused of perpetrating it.
5) That his deputy and political ally is accused of the exact same thing but was on the opposite side of the political divide at the time. Makes me wonder what the two really THINK OF and BELIEVE ABOUT each other.
A part of me wants to admire the man for his words in this video, another part rather smells a rat. What do you folks think.
