January 2, 2008 (LPAC)--In what may become a re-run of the British-orchestrated genocide in central Africa, 70,000 Kenyans are on the move as inter-tribal fighting takes 300 lives in the aftermath of contested presidential elections. Clashes are taking place between supporters of President Mwai Kibaki from the Kikuyu tribe and supporters of opposition leader Raila Odinga, from the Luo tribe.

"What I saw was unimaginable and indescribable," the director of the Kenyan Red Cross, Abbas Gullet, told the Mail & Guardian, after visiting several violence-hit regions. This is a national disaster, he said.

The fact is that the British, as the "former" colonial master, are in charge of this operation. U.S. Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice and British Foreign Secretary David Miliband issued a joint statement calling for an end to the violence, and "a political and legal process to resolve the crisis" and ensure a "united and peaceful future" for Kenya. The statement also noted "serious irregularities" in the vote-counting process.

Father Mariano Benni, editor of Catholic Missionary International Service News Agency, warns on his website that Kenya will slide into civil war if some sort of compromise is not achieved, and points to the fact that the British still have a tremendous amount of economic interests in the country. He noted the strange behavior of the United States and Britain. At first the U.S. State Department issued a statement recognizing Kibaki as the newly elected president, but after the British Government issued a statement critical of the election, the U.S. policy changed and the Rice-Miliband statement was released.

The Kenya economy has changed little from British colonial times. It is dominated by the plantation sector, producing agricultural products such as tea and coffee, over 70% owned by British and other foreign companies. The tourist sector is also 70% foreign owned, mostly British. It is a playground for the Royals and other British and European oligarchs. With the financial collapse in which the securing of tangible assets becomes paramount for the British imperialist, Kenya and greater Africa are key.
