Death squads exist in the Kenyan Police, and during my university days, we used to call them the Kenyan Einsatzgruppen – named after the Nazi’s SchutzStaffel (SS) specialist death squads that killed civilians during World War 2. This Kenyan Einsatzgruppen has been killing adults and children with impunity, and have now extended their reign of death to Haiti.
In June 2024, American-trained police death squads were kidnapping and killing Kenyan democracy activists, while another batch of American-trained police were deployed to Haiti despite such deployment being unconstitutional and unpopular in Kenya. Kenyans openly stated that this deployment was forced by the Americans because they need to use Kenyan Police as death squads in Haiti to kill Haitians who oppose an American-imposed regime – or simply oppose American-imposed policies upon the Haitian people. For this reason, most Kenyans consider the Kenyan policemen deployed to Haiti as traitors to the Kenyan people, and many have little qualms about Haitians going to war with them (police). For the unpopular regime in Nairobi, there is another problem.
There are licit fears in Kenya that most people in the world will celebrate the killing of Kenyan policemen who have been deployed in Haiti. For the current unpopular Government of Kenya (GoK), its concerns are that killing of Kenyan policemen in Haiti will be praised and condoned by American intellectuals in American universities. As the Kenyan protests gain tempo and steadily transform into a popular revolution, the American government and Ruto’s regime fear that the American youth in American universities will mount protests against Kenya’s illegal mission in Haiti, as well as call for the ousting of Ruto’s Regime. Are these fears credible?
Nationwide Protests in Kenya Against an Unpopular Regime
On June 15, 2024, Kenyans took to the street to protest against the punitive Finance Bill for the 2024/2025 Financial Year. Among the complaints was that Kenyans do not want to become the “New Haitians” who will be brutalized by American policies engineered to keep them poor and miserable.
I met some protesters a day later; on Thursday, June 20, 2024. What they told me was shocking. They had been informed by notable Kenyan activists that the American and British governments do not approve of their protests, and were warned that American-trained anti-terror police unit will hunt them down – to either kidnap and hold them incommunicado in police cells, or to extra-judicially kill them. The Government of Kenya (GoK) also sought assurances from the American government that the American media will pay lip service to these protests – assurances which the Biden administration could give but not enforce.
As the Kenyan protests gains a global audience, the American and British governments have allowed personnel it trained in the Kenyan National Intelligence Service (NIS), Anti-Terror Police Unit (ATPU), Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI), Special Operations Group (SOG), Border Patrol Unit (BPU), and the National Counter-Terrorism Center (NCTC) to abduct and kill Kenyan protesters. Likewise, the Kenyan police has used this period of protests to loot from Kenyans with abandon. Still this has not prevented Kenyans from expressing themselves, as they did on June 25, 2024, when they entered the Kenyan parliament – an act that forced the American ambassador to Kenya, Meg Whitman – to immediately flee Kenya.
Queen of Kenya or Devil Meg?
The American ambassador to Kenya, Meg Whitman, was called the “Queen of Kenya” due to the power she wielded in the unpopular regime of William Samoei Ruto. She was part of the cabal planning to impeach the Deputy President of Kenya, Rigathi Gachagua. However, when Kenyan demonstrators entered the Kenyan parliament of June 25, 2024, while shouting “Homeland or Death”, Meg Whitman fled Kenya in a flight chartered by the American special forces. So, why did she flee Kenya when Kenyan demonstrators were expressing their dissatisfaction with the Ruto Regime? Why do Kenyans call her “Devil Meg”?
