The Power of Our Voices: A Message to Kenya’s Youth

 By Ruzeki | Shadoww News | August 18, 2025 

Kenya’s youth are carrying struggles heavier than we deserve, yet our spirit remains unbroken. In the face of hardship, despair, and suppression, we still believe in the power of our voices. This is a message of hope, and a reminder that our future is still ours to claim. 

---

In Struggle, Where Do We Find Hope? 

Though the youth of Kenya face struggles we should never have to, we refuse to doubt the power of our voices ahead of 2027. 

Every day, we see it. Prices go up. Jobs are scarce. Corruption gets its way. Promises made to us are broken before the ink dries. Instead of being empowered, we are dismissed or lied to. Instead of being included, we are silenced or killed. And instead of leadership, we are handed excuses and more lies. 

But here’s the truth, this story doesn’t end in despair — it begins with us. 

Kenya’s youth make up the largest share of this nation’s population. We are the workers, the students, the dreamers, the hustlers, the builders of tomorrow. They may suppress our voices, but they cannot erase our numbers, our energy, or our vision. 

Why They Fear Us 

Politicians know one thing: if the youth unite, the game changes forever. That is why they try to keep us tired, hopeless, and distracted. They hand out quick coins, not opportunities. They spread propaganda, not solutions. They want us to believe our voices don’t matter. 

But history proves them wrong. From independence struggles to modern revolutions across Africa and beyond, it has always been the young people who ignite change. 

Our Struggle Is Not Permanent 

Yes, we are struggling today. Yes, life feels heavier than it should. But remember this: hardship is never permanent. The oppressors of today will not last forever. Leaders who lie, exploit, and ignore the people eventually fall, ALWAYS. 

What remains is the voice of the people. And in Kenya, that voice is increasingly youthful, bold, and unafraid. 

Ahead of 2027 

The next election is not just a date on the calendar. It is our chance to decide whether we continue to suffer or rise to claim the future we deserve. Between now and then, we must do three things: 

1. Stay Awake – Don’t let lies, bribes, or handouts fool us. Eat their coins if you must, but don’t sell your future. 
2. Stay United – Tribe, class, or background doesn’t matter. What matters is the shared struggle we face as youth. 
3. Stay Loud – Keep speaking, protesting, creating, posting, writing, singing. Every word adds weight to the WanTam movement. 

The Message of Hope 

To every young Kenyan reading this WanTam Weekly Edition, you are not powerless. You are not invisible. And you are not alone. 

Your frustrations are valid. Your dreams are valid. And your voice is powerful enough to change this country. 

The road to 2027 will not be easy, but it is ours to walk together. Let them underestimate us. Let them doubt us. Let's eat their handouts. But when the time comes, let them hear us roar like thunder. 

Because no matter how hard they try to silence us, the truth is simple: 

👉 Kenya belongs to its youth. And the future begins with our voices.

Review of Kenya’s Major Non-NATO Ally (MNNA) Status

 By Ruzeki, Shadoww News 

August 07, 2025  

The designation of Kenya as a Major Non-NATO Ally (MNNA) by the United States on June 24, 2024, marked a significant diplomatic milestone—but it also triggered deep scrutiny. 

This review examines whether Kenya’s political conduct, security alignments, and financial dealings genuinely reflect the values and responsibilities expected of a U.S. strategic partner. 

---

Review of Kenya’s Major Non-NATO Ally (MNNA) Status Conferred: June 24, 2024 

Subject of Review: Government of Kenya (GoK) 

The designation of Kenya as a Major Non-NATO Ally (MNNA) by the United States was a strategic milestone. However, with privilege comes scrutiny. The following areas are under review, with attention to inconsistencies, covert alignments, and potential abuse of the MNNA status by the Government of Kenya (GoK) and its leadership. 

---

1. Kenya–U.S. Partnership in Countering Violent Extremism (Sub-Saharan Africa & Haiti) 

Assessment: 

Kenya has been praised for its regional role in peacekeeping and counterterrorism, notably in Somalia (AMISOM/ATMIS) and most recently in Haiti. However, effectiveness is undercut by operational opacity, logistical failures, and accusations of brutality by Kenyan forces abroad. 

Critique: 

The GoK has often leveraged counterterrorism as a diplomatic shield while neglecting internal reforms on accountability. Kenya’s security forces continue to be marred by extrajudicial killings, forced disappearances, and profiling of peaceful protesters and ethnic groups under the guise of CVE (Countering Violent Extremism). The deployment to Haiti may serve U.S. strategic optics more than genuine regional stabilization. 

---

2. Military and Security Engagement with China, Russia, and Iran

Assessment: 
Despite close ties with the U.S., Kenya maintains active defense cooperation with China (military equipment procurement, surveillance tech), and growing diplomatic gestures toward Russia and Iran. 

Critique:
The GoK appears to play both sides—accepting U.S. security privileges while flirting with what the West see as authoritarian states. These parallel alignments raise alarms about conflicted loyalties and undermine the spirit of MNNA cooperation. Kenya’s acquisition of surveillance systems from China, some allegedly used against civil society and opposition, contradicts democratic values underpinning MNNA designations. 

---

3. Political and Financial Ties of Key Political Actors with China, Russia & Iran 

Assessment: 
Several high-profile Kenyan politicians led by President Ruto and his close businessmen have opaque financial dealings and partnerships with entities linked to Beijing, Moscow, and Tehran. 

Critique: 
These relationships compromise Kenya’s geopolitical posture. While U.S. aid and intelligence flow into Nairobi, Chinese loans quietly balloon and Russian disinformation campaigns find fertile ground in Kenya’s digital space. The entanglement of top Kenyan officials with sanctioned Iranian networks further casts doubt on the integrity of the country's foreign policy and financial institutions. 

---

4. GoK and Its Officials’ Relationships with Non-State Armed Groups (RSF, Al-Shabaab) 

Assessment: 
Kenya’s porous borders and the murky involvement of some state officials in illicit arms and smuggling networks create opportunities for collusion with armed groups, including Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and remnants of Al-Shabaab. 

Critique: 
There is disturbing evidence—both anecdotal and intelligence-based—suggesting state complicity or willful negligence in dealings with non-state actors. This includes the laundering of illicit wealth through Kenyan banks, facilitation of safe passage, and political protection of profiteers. The government's inability—or refusal—to prosecute those involved points to systemic rot and dangerous tolerance of extremist-linked networks. 

---

5. Trade and Investment with China – Debt, Commercial Ties, and Belt & Road Initiative 

Assessment: 
Kenya is deeply embedded in China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), with billions in loans tied to infrastructure and extractive deals. These have ballooned Kenya’s public debt and created structural dependence. 

Critique: 
The GoK has consistently failed to renegotiate or transparently manage Chinese debt, instead engaging in debt diplomacy appeasement. Some BRI projects lack public value yet bind Kenya into long-term financial obligations that threaten sovereignty. The U.S. must now contend with a “strategic ally” that is economically hostage to Beijing. 

---

6. Kenya as a Financial Safe Haven for Regional Elites, War Profiteers, and Terrorists 

Assessment: 
Kenya’s financial system is increasingly used as a laundering hub for elites from Sudan, South Sudan, Uganda, and Somalia. Nairobi’s real estate, banking, and remittance systems are exploited by politically exposed persons (PEPs), warlords, and terror financiers. 

Critique: 
The GoK’s failure to reform or audit its financial institutions has made Kenya a regional laundromat for dirty money. While the U.S. pours resources into financial surveillance and anti-terrorism funding, Kenyan institutions continue to shield or ignore illegal capital flows—some directly funding violence and insurgencies in neighboring states. 

---

7. Use of U.S. Intelligence & Security Assistance for Domestic Repression 

Assessment: 
While U.S. security and intelligence tools are intended to bolster legitimate counterterrorism and public safety, there is growing concern that the Kenyan state uses this support to suppress civil liberties and target political dissent. 

Critique: 
There are credible reports of U.S.-trained units being involved in renditions, torture, abductions, and domestic surveillance of journalists, activists and civilians. These actions erode trust and violate the very principles MNNA status is meant to uphold. Kenya’s security apparatus, under minimal civilian oversight, has become a tool of state-sponsored political violence, especially against youth, opposition leaders, and some ethnic groups. 

---

Is Kenya A Strategic Ally or a Double Agent? 

While Kenya presents itself as a democratic bulwark in a volatile region, its geopolitical double-dealing, internal abuses, and financial opaqueness paint a more disturbing picture. The GoK’s exploitation of U.S. support for domestic repression, strategic hedging with autocracies, and permissiveness toward terror-linked finances calls for a comprehensive reevaluation of its MNNA status. 

The United States must condition continued support on: 

• Transparent audits of military aid and training use 
• Reforms in financial oversight and anti-money laundering enforcement 
• Immediate end to the use of U.S. tools for political repression 
• Clear distancing from state and non-state actors in Russia, China, Iran, and regional war economies 

Kenya cannot continue to speak Washington’s language while dancing to Beijing’s drums. Either it walks the democratic path in full, or it risks being stripped of the privileges that come with MNNA designation.

America on the Brink: How Trump’s Policies Are Fueling Economic Decline

By Ruzeki, Shadoww News 
March 20, 2025 

 

Trump is dragging America to the brink of a full-blown recession—rising inflation, stock market crashes, and economic instability are just the beginning. 

In just two months of his so-called "concepts of a plan," the U.S. has gone from a pillar of economic strength to a volatile and unpredictable trading partner. Once the world's top investment destination, America is now hemorrhaging credibility. Global markets are rattled, investors are pulling back, and businesses are bracing for impact. 

Trump's reckless trade wars and destructive tariffs—haphazardly imposed on China, Europe, Canada, Japan, and Mexico—are suffocating industries at home while alienating allies abroad. His erratic DOGE-driven policies turn Wall Street into a casino, where economic forecasts shift on the whims of a tweet. Meanwhile, his decision to gut USAID programs, particularly in Africa, is dismantling decades of U.S. diplomatic leverage, eroding America’s soft power, and accelerating its decline in global influence. 

With these business-hostile policies, Trump is achieving only one thing: the immiseration of Americans. Jobs are vanishing, wages are stagnating, and prices are soaring—all while he insists it’s “worth it.” 

The world is losing faith in U.S. assets. Investors no longer see America as the safe bet it once was. And since power abhors a vacuum, others are stepping in. 

China is tightening its grip on global trade. Europe is forging new alliances. BRICS+ is rising. The geopolitical landscape is shifting—and under Trump, America is slipping from the throne. 

The Ongoing Push for United Nations Security Council Reform

By Ruzeki, Shadoww News 
February 18, 2025  

Momentum is building for reforms in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), with growing demands for expansion to better align with the current global power structure. 

Global Push for UNSC Expansion

Germany, India, Japan, and Brazil are among the leading UN members lobbying for permanent seats in the UNSC. However, their bids face strong opposition from two of the current permanent members:

• Russia opposes Germany and Japan’s inclusion.
• The United States resists Brazil and India’s bids.

Both nations have strategically used their veto power to stall reforms and counter each other's influence.

Africa’s Demand for Permanent Representation

The African Union (AU), representing 54 UN member states, has been vocal in demanding two permanent seats to ensure Africa has a stronger voice in global decision-making.

Among African nations, South Africa has emerged as a strong contender due to its economic strength, diplomatic influence, and active role in peacekeeping.

However, Africa is pushing for two permanent seats. This raises the question:
Which other African country should join South Africa in representing the continent in the UNSC?

• Nigeria – Africa’s largest economy with strong regional influence.
• Egypt – A historical diplomatic leader with control over the Suez Canal.
• Algeria – A key player in counterterrorism and Sahel security.
• Kenya – A major contributor to peacekeeping and regional stability.

Egypt and South Africa: The Best Fit for Africa

Among the contenders, Egypt and South Africa offer the strongest combination of diplomatic, military, and economic influence.

• Egypt brings global strategic importance, historical leadership, and control over the Suez Canal.
• South Africa represents Sub-Saharan Africa, has a strong democratic tradition, and plays a leading role in peacekeeping and economic affairs.

This pairing ensures balanced representation of both North and Sub-Saharan Africa in global decision-making.

Why the U.S. Resists UNSC Reform

Despite increasing pressure for reform, the United States remains reluctant to allow UNSC expansion. Here’s why:

1. Maintaining Its Dominance

   • The current UNSC structure favors U.S. influence, allowing it to veto decisions that go against its interests.
   • More permanent members could dilute U.S. power and make global decision-making harder to control.

2. Concerns Over Rival Nations

   • The U.S. opposes Brazil and India’s inclusion, fearing they could strengthen alternative alliances like BRICS+.
   • More UNSC seats could increase Russia and China’s influence if new members align with them.

3. Selective Support for Allies

   • The U.S. supports Japan and Germany, but not full UNSC reform, fearing unpredictable shifts in power.
   • It prefers NATO and bilateral alliances over restructuring global institutions.

4. Fear of a Weaker Veto Power

   • More permanent members could lead to more veto powers, making it harder for the U.S. to block decisions, especially in regions like the Middle East.

5. Political and Bureaucratic Hurdles

   • UNSC reform requires two-thirds approval in the UN General Assembly and no veto from the five permanent members (U.S., Russia, China, France, UK).
   • The U.S. sees this as too risky, as it could trigger a domino effect, allowing unexpected countries to gain influence.

Will the U.S. Ever Support UNSC Reform?

The U.S. may eventually support limited reforms, but only if it can ensure that new members align with its strategic interests.

However, as long as Russia and China hold veto power, the U.S. will likely block major changes to prevent a shift in global power.

The Future of UNSC Reform: A Long Battle Ahead

The fight for UNSC reform will be long and complex, but growing pressure from Africa, Latin America, and Asia might eventually force change.

The big question remains:
Will the world embrace a more balanced UNSC, or will the great powers keep delaying reforms?

What’s your prediction? Will reform happen, or will the status quo remain?
