What it is about

Dear friends,

We started this blog in order for people to debate. The first few opinions I put up for debate were mostly controversial African issues, mainly politics intertwining with the abuse of rights. Please feel free to comment as it will motivate us to keep posting. If you have any topics you find controversial and excellent for debate, please send it to either of us with your name and I will post as soon as possible with your name to show that it is yours.

Kenya- Somalia War is it a wise thing?

"Kenya is at war. For the first time in her independent history, the country has sent its armed forces across its international borders in pursuit of a goal defined as of immense national security interest."  By MUKHISA KITUYI


 Kenya if you have not heard is at war; working with Somali government troops, to fight off al-shabab a terrorist group. Kenya has been patient over the years, as a great amount of refugees take refuge in the north mostly in the refugee camps such as Dadaab. However after the several incidents that have happened in Kenya e.g. David and Judith Tebutt's murder and kidnapping, that have made the limelight on Kenya very negative and lowered the tourism industry. But surely is war the answer to all these troubles? Will fighting al-shabab bring peace back to Somalia? Will refugees return back home?
