A mass movement is breaking out in Kenya with protesters occupying Parliament. No parliamentary reforms will solve the debt trap that the #IMF has put #Kenya into. The masses need to organize workers councils to organize the general strike and call to take power. This is unlikely to happen without a preexisting revolutionary leadership. As #Lenin said, "without revolutionary leadership there can be no revolutionary movement"
Kenya is among the countries identified as having unsafe tap water. It is one of 187 countries in the world where tap water is considered unsafe.
Not surprisingly, the safest tap water is found in developed countries. Conversely, countries in Central America, Africa, Asia and the Middle East are considered high risk.
According to the World Health Organization, approximately 842,000 people die each year in the world from diarrhea due to poor drinking water, sanitation and hand hygiene.
@NyakoKitty Laney, I have a big problem with your posts. They are all beautiful and I am too lazy to make an appropriate comment each time. Please consider my faves as my biggest praise. Ok?
The African fish eagle is a large species of eagle found throughout sub-Saharan Africa wherever large bodies of open water with an abundant food supply occur, like lake Nakuru.
The adult is very distinctive in appearance with a mostly brown body with a white head like the bald eagle and large, powerful, black wings. The head, breast, and tail of African fish eagles are snow white, with the exception of the featherless face, which is yellow.
The ostriches of the Kenyan savannah have never been so prized: first by jockeys, who ride them to the delight of spectators, and then by meat lovers, their flesh being reputed to be healthy.
These birds, which can reach up to 2.60 meters and weigh a hundred kilos, can kill with a single blow of their legs.
The ban imposed at the end of 2003 on the sale of meat from wild animals, apart from ostrich and crocodile, has led to an increase in demand for ostrich meat, which is high in protein and low in cholesterol. Only the meat of the legs is marketed. Ostriches are slaughtered at the age of eight months to ensure that the meat is tender.
Ostriches have a life expectancy of 70 years and females can lay up to 35 eggs per clutch, some of which are never fertilized.
"At least 71 people have been confirmed dead and 110 people are in hospital following #floods near the town of Mai Mahiu in Kenya’s north-western Nakuru county.
#Kenya has grappled with weeks of heavy rains and devastating flash floods. "
"[The attribution study] found that #ClimateChange made the devastating rains twice as likely and 5% more intense. With further warming, the frequency and intensity of the rains would continue to increase.
Highly populated #urban areas, especially high-density informal settlements, were significantly impacted by the downpours. Torrential #rain flooded houses and roads, in some places exposing weaknesses in urban planning to meet the demands of fast-growing populations."
"An international team of climate scientists recently released a report on climate change and city growth. They found the effects of heavy rains that struck East Africa in recent months were worsened by climate change and fast development in cities."
