Dedication to our defence forces

Tunalala kwenye vumbi na matope ili wewe ulale kitandani,
Tunala na bunduki ili wewe ulale na mwenzi wako,
Tunalala porini ili wewe ulale kwenye nyumba,
Unavaa kofia maridadi ya kupendeza, sisi tunavaa kofia ngumu na nzito za chuma,
Unavaa "vest" nzuri ya pamba, sisi tunavaa "vest" za shaba,
Unavaa mkanda wa ngozi kiunoni, sisi tunavaa mikanda ya risasi,
Asubuhi unaamshwa na "alarm" nzuri ya simu yako, sisi tunaamshwa na milio ya mabomu na risasi,
Unatembelea gari zuri la thamani, sisi tunatembelea vifaru na malori,
Unakula chakula kizuri ukipendacho, tunakula wadudu na matunda porini,
Tunakesha ili wewe upate usingizi,
Tunaua ili wewe uishi,
Tunaumia ili wewe upone,
Tunaitoa sadaka "leo yetu" kwa manufaa ya "kesho yako",
Tunatoa sadaka maisha yetu ili kutetea maisha yako,
Tunakupigania usiku na mchana kwa sababu tunakupenda,
Tunaipenda nchi yetu,
Sisi ni wanajeshi,
Sisi ni wazalendo,
Sisi ni mashujaa,
Ombea wote waliofia vitani,
Wamekufa wakitetea nchi yetu,
Wamekufa wakitetea uhai wako,
Ni mashujaa wetu,
Nchi yetu,
Amani yetu,
Jeshi letu.
DEDICATE TO OUR DEFENCE FORCE....
"FOR GOD AND MY COUNTRY" One of the words of the frontline KDF

Take care of yourself__"The first wealth is health".

By Strive Masiyiwa  A few weeks ago I went to the doctor. I will tell you what he said about my health at the end, but first read this: Twenty years ago, I arranged to meet a well-known British international businessman who invested a lot in Africa at the time. We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London.  After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...

Freedom: The One Thing Gaddafi Could Not Give — And the One Thing No Government Can Take Away

For years, the collapse of Libya under Muammar Gaddafi puzzled many observers across Africa and the world. How could a country with high living standards, generous state programs, and a strong economy turn so swiftly against a leader who appeared to have delivered materially for his people? This question is not just about Libya. It speaks to a deeper truth about governance, legitimacy, and the limits of developmental authoritarianism. It speaks to Africa’s political future. And it speaks directly to the crossroads at which Kenya now finds itself. --- The Libyan Paradox: Prosperity Without Liberty Before the 2011 uprising, Libya’s economic and social indicators were strikingly strong for the region.

The United Nations Human Development Index (HDI) of 2010 ranked Libya 53rd in the world and first in Africa. Even today, that ranking stands...
