TO LIVE OR TO DIE

By Dr Paul Bundi Human beings are endowed with remarkable resilience, which can only be broken when they choose to give up. Says Viktor Frankl in his seminal book, Man's Search for Meaning; ''it is a peculiarity of man that he can only live by looking to the future-sub specie aeternitatis. And this is his salvation in thd most difficult moments of his existence, although he sometimes has to force his mind to the task.'' Man's life is primarily driven by the desire for future, the unshakable belief that the future holds promise.

Concerned citizens raise their voice following discovery of mass shallow graves in Mandera

By Nepjournal team:
Seven months after shallow mass graves were discovered in Lanbib area of Wajir County, a similar discovery was made yesterday in Mandera.
Among the bodies recovered was the one of Isnina Mohamed, a mother of two who was abducted on December 3, 2015 from her tea kiosk in Mandera town.
Condemnation for the extra judicial killings have been pouring in ever since with people from all walks of life calling for an immediate end to the heinous acts.

EnforcedDisappearancesKE, #
StopKillingSomalis.
Many argue such killings foster the very radicalization and violent extremism that Kenya is purporting to fight.
In the so called fight against radicalization, more have been radicalized as a result. #StopKillingSomalis

And what did the police say about the whole incident?
Inspector General @JBoinnet denies there’s a mass grave in Mandera, admits to the discovery of a woman’s body. #StopKillingSomalis

Is this a government policy?
@MohaJichoPevu @HonAdenDuale I totally agree. I have no doubt that is the official policy of the jubilee govt to kill extrajudicially
