Joe & Meg Silent on Kenyans Deaths & Femicide in Kenya
The Biden administration is showing its hypocrisy and Kenyans are tired of it too

In case you never heard of the murder case of Kenyan up and coming fasion icon Edwin Chiloba who's legal name was Edwin Kiprotich Kiptoo, I will give you a brief summary of his murder case. Back in January of 2023 a metal foot locker was found with a body stuffed inside.
The way the body was dressed caused many in Kenya to become well aware of the fact that the man was possibly a homosexual.
I'll never forget that day, seeing uncovered photos of that man's body all over Facebook was heart breaking. No human deserved that in life or death, no matter race, gender or sexuality.
However many Kenyans didn't agree, there were jokes, laughter and people applauding his death. Such discusting hatred to have in ones heart, no wonder gender-based violence and femicide happen often in Kenya, so often wHowever many Kenyans didn't agree, there were jokes, laughter and people applauding his death.

The US ambassador Meg Whitman went all out in a fit, she even said that the United States government would help in the investigation.
Yet when the femicide protests came about, it was not the United States that help fund the march, it was the great nation of Canada. As a matter of fact that would have been a great time for the American ambassador to stand up & speak up for the amazing women of Kenya.
Meg was silent, Meg was deafening silent, Meg failed Kenyans. That was not the first time either.
When Kenya's President William Ruto went on his rant about Africans dumping the USD, Meg went petty and posted how much money the United States spent on funding the election in which he had just won.
This was a move to show that that William Ruto was owned in part by Biden and the American government. She even hand held him as he was in the US to meet with Biden, every where he went the Meg went too. She was in the background for several photos.
There was the cost of living 'demos', where over 140 people lost their lives at the hands of Kenyan police. Now there is the GenZ protests, that have rocked Kenya to the core. This author has never, ever been so proud of a country than to see young Kenyans sitting trabialism aside and fighting for their country.
However since the begining of this second large protest in Kenya, the 3rd if you include the march on femicide, Kenyans are being killed by their own police once again. Of course the United States which is known for the killings of unarmed Black people is silent once again.
Much like with the brutality and murder in Uganda, Bobi Wine points out that the US doesn't care unless it is about LGTBQ people in Uganda. In an interview he outlined the hypocrisy of the American government when it came to the rights of everyday Ugandans.
There were calls about human rights violations from the cost of living protests deaths, then they all seemed to magically die down as William Ruto played star for the Biden administration. He has now sent out to groups of Kenyan police into Haiti, each group contained 200 Kenyan police officers as Kenya is facing protests on its own soil.
I once wrote about Kenya's Killer Cops, in which a year ago over 2,000 police were found mentally unfit to even be employed as police officers. One police officer claiming it was too late now to do anything about these officers. By the way another Kenyan police officer committed a murder sucide as I am typing these words in July of 2024.
Then in Kenya we have the discovery of several dead Kenyan women, within less that days they have a Kenyan man claiming he was the serial killer. However as of today, he says that he was beaten to confess to the murders of these women. The women who were dumped in a slum in Kenya that is directly accross the street from a police station.
The American government once again shows its ugly hypocrisy, the same way they proclaim violent Ghana as peaceful yet Burkina Faso as violent and issue all the travel warnings. While Ghana has 3 conflict areas which are violent and Burkina Faso has terrorism near its borders as well.
Ghana military and police brutality are also ignored as Ghana and Kenya remain firmly in the hands of the US.

Why The U.S. Government & Prefer Submissive West Africans to Black Americans
Monday, 1 July 2024 By: TB Obwoge Many Africans have an issue with the fact that the U.S. often rejects their visas. They are also upset that their money isn't returned to them, for some reason many Africans also think that Americans don't need a vias to travel to their countries. However that is false.

US Labels Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Lebanon, and Jordan as ‘Terrorists’: A Major Shift in Middle East Policy
The United States has officially designated the Muslim Brotherhood’s branches in Egypt, Lebanon, and Jordan as terrorist organizations, marking a significant change in Washington’s stance toward one of the most influential Islamist movements in the Middle East. This announcement, made by the State Department, is expected to have far-reaching consequences for regional politics, diplomacy, and counterterrorism efforts. A Controversial Organization Founded in Egypt in 1928 by Hassan al-Banna, the Muslim Brotherhood has evolved from a religious and social movement into a politically influential organization across multiple countries. It operates social services, charities, and political entities, but some factions have also been accused of engaging in militant activities. Historically, the Brotherhood has maintained a complex position in global politics: viewed as a legitimate political actor by some governments and as a security threat by others. Before this designation, the United States had largely differentiated between the Brotherhood’s political and militant wings, often engaging with non-violent factions for diplomatic purposes. By labeling the Egyptian, Lebanese, and Jordanian branches as terrorist organizations, the US is signaling a zero-tolerance approach, potentially treating all elements of the movement as threats. Implications for Egypt In Egypt, the Brotherhood has been banned since 2013 following the military removal of former President Mohamed Morsi, the group’s first democratically elected leader. The Egyptian government has since carried out a harsh crackdown on members, imprisoning thousands and restricting the organization’s activities. The US decision aligns with Cairo’s hardline stance and provides international validation for continued suppression. However, analysts warn that the designation may further radicalize the movement’s underground elements, potentially leading to an increase in clandestine activity. Impact on Lebanon Lebanon presents a more complicated scenario. Unlike in Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood in Lebanon primarily operates as a political and social organization without a significant armed wing. The US terrorist designation could disrupt Lebanon’s delicate political balance, which relies on cooperation among multiple sectarian and ideological groups. Critics argue that this move may inadvertently push some factions closer to extremist groups, destabilizing a nation already facing political and economic challenges. Consequences for Jordan In Jordan, the Muslim Brotherhood functions as a recognized political party, participating in parliamentary elections and social programs. By labeling the organization a terrorist entity, the US risks creating tensions between the Jordanian monarchy and Brotherhood supporters. This could provoke unrest, weaken moderate political participation, and complicate US-Jordan relations, which have historically relied on cooperation with both government authorities and political Islamists. International Reactions The US decision has prompted mixed international responses. Gulf nations such as Saudi Arabia and the UAE, which have long opposed the Brotherhood, welcomed the designation, viewing it as a step toward curbing the organization’s regional influence. Conversely, European allies have expressed concern that such a sweeping classification could undermine diplomatic engagement and limit channels for negotiating with moderate Islamist groups who participate in political processes. Human rights organizations have also criticized the move. They argue that lumping non-violent political activity together with terrorism risks undermining civil liberties and discouraging peaceful political participation. “By not distinguishing between armed militants and lawful political actors, this policy could fuel alienation and radicalization rather than prevent it,” said an analyst from an international think tank. Broader Implications for US Policy This designation reflects a broader US policy shift toward political Islam in the Middle East. Officials argue that labeling the Brotherhood as a terrorist organization will limit funding, restrict movement, and reduce the operational capabilities of groups perceived as threats. However, critics caution that this approach could backfire by eliminating moderate voices, empowering authoritarian regimes, and alienating populations who view the Brotherhood as a legitimate representative of their interests. Looking Ahead The US labeling of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Lebanon, and Jordan as terrorist organizations is likely to have profound political, security, and diplomatic repercussions. Beyond cutting off financial and logistical support, the decision could reshape regional alliances, alter internal political dynamics, and redefine the US approach to Islamist movements in the Middle East. Governments in the region now face the challenge of managing local responses while balancing international relations and domestic stability. For the Brotherhood, the designation raises urgent questions about strategy, from legal challenges to underground operations. In an increasingly volatile Middle East, the US decision underscores the continuing struggle between state authorities and Islamist movements, highlighting the difficult balance between security, political inclusion, and the rights of citizens. As events unfold, the world will be watching closely to see whether this controversial move strengthens stability or fuels further unrest.
