Up to 1,000 killed in Kenyan crisis: Odinga
AOL India Editorial
Last Updated: January 07, 2008
Nairobi, January 7: Up to 1,000 people may have died in more than a week of riots and post-election violence in Kenya, opposition leader Raila Odinga said on Monday.
The head of the African Union (AU), Ghanaian President John Kufuor, is due to land in Nairobi on Tuesday. Odinga said Kufuor could begin chairing talks on Wednesday.
Odinga called off nationwide protests by supporters to create a "peaceful atmosphere" for the talks while his rival President Mwai Kibaki summoned parliament to meet on Jan. 15.
The imminent arrival of the AU chief was a "major, major breakthrough" and "very significant move", Odinga told Reuters.
Odinga rejected an official government death toll of nearly 500 and said "closer to a thousand" people may have died.
The government says 486 died and 255,000 were uprooted in the turmoil that followed Kibaki's disputed re-election.
Aid workers say the toll could go much higher after one of Kenya's worst crises since independence from Britain in 1963.

Odinga, who turned 63 on Monday, faces a dilemma of responding to international pressure to avoid provoking more violence while also maintaining momentum to oust Kibaki.

TREASON: OBAMA'S TACIT SUPPORT FOR ODINGA'S VIOLENT OVERTHROW OF DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED LEADER IN KENYA
UPDATE: Footage of Obama and Odinga campaiging together in Kenya. (hat tip Bill)
Jerome Corsi is back from Kenya and he confirms everything I have been reporting about Obama and Odinga since January 2008. Obama supported a vicious killer to overthrow the duly elected President of Kenya. The Odinga strategy exploited "anti-Kikuyu sentiments," clearly a racial strategy aimed at inflaming long-standing tribal animosity to gain electoral advantage for Odinga".
Why would Obama support the exploitation of ethnic violence and murder? To further his own Obamaodinga career? To position himself to "save the day"? Isn't this the same malevolent, anti-American, me-me-me subterfuge that Obama tried in Iraq? His private attempt to persuade Iraqi leaders to delay an agreement on a draw-down of the American military presence was sabotage, treason even. His objective was to keep our boys in Iraq until he became President so that he could position himself to take credit "for bringing our boys and girls home" when he he was vehemently against the surge and advocated surrender and defeat in Iraq. This Mansourian candidate depends and wishes for, advocates for American failure.
This is the currency in which he trades - bad for America is good for Obama. ..."

The Kenya Connection [Barack Obama, Raila Odinga]
New York Sun ^ | January 10, 2008 | DANIEL JOHNSON
Whether Mr. Odinga [Raila Odinga] has ordered his men to commit murder and arson is unclear. But his own background does not exactly suggest enthusiasm for democracy and the rule of law. Mr. Odinga's father, Oginga Odinga, led the Communist opposition during the Cold War and Raila Odinga was educated in Communist East Germany.
(snip)
In August 2006, Mr. Obama visited Kenya and spoke in support of Mr. Odinga's candidacy at rallies in Nairobi. The Web site Atlas Shrugs has even posted a photograph of the two men side by side. More recently, Mr. Odinga says that Mr. Obama interrupted his campaigning in New Hampshire to have a telephone conversation with his African cousin about the constitutional crisis in Kenya.
What should Americans make of Mr. Obama's Kenyan connection? If he has been putting tribal or family considerations above America's national interest by supporting Mr. Odinga's anti-Western candidacy, it raises serious questions about his judgement.
At the time of his visit in 2006, President Kibaki's spokesman complained that Mr. Obama was behaving like a "stooge" of Mr. Odinga — which was at best undignified for a visiting American senator, and at worst unwarranted interference in the internal politics of another country.

"...this hasn't even gotten into the relationship between Obama and Raila Odinga, yet another politician who ran on the 'hope & change' theme while utilizing criminal ties, who would then stage a violent and bloody uprising when national elections didn't go his way. Somehow we don't hear much about the nightly phone calls between Sen. Obama and Raila Odinga these days..."
Kenya's first truly free and fair democratic election was in December 2002, won by Mwai Kibaki and a multi-ethnic coalition party NARC (National Rainbow Coalition). One of the leaders of that coalition was Raila Odinga.
Kibaki didn't give him positions in the new government that he felt were important enough, so Odinga formed an opposition party, ODM (Orange Democratic Movement, orange the symbol color of opposition).
When Raila Odinga lost the presidential election last week (12/27) to Mwai Kibaki, he claimed the vote was rigged, whereupon his tribal followers went on murderous rampages such as in the town of Eldoret, where on New Years Day dozens of people were burned to death in a church set on fire.
Throughout Kenya, hundreds of people have been politically murdered in the last few days.
Kenya's 37 million people are divided up into over three dozen tribes and sub-tribes, but the two dominant ones are Kikuyu and Luo. Kenyan politics since independence in 1963 has essentially been a duke-out between them.
The father of Kenyan independence and president until 1978 was Jomo Kenyatta, a Kikuyu. His main political opponent was Oginga Odinga, known as "OO," a Luo and Raila's father.
While Kenyatta was pro-West and sided with America in the Cold War, OO [Oginga Odinga, Raila's father] was a Communist who was aided and supported by the Soviet Union.
That's why Raila went to school in [communist] East Germany (born in 1945, he graduated from Magdeburg University in 1970), and named his first-born son after Fidel Castro.
Thus it likely won't shock you to learn that Raila has now made a deal for support from the Soviets' successors as world-champion enemies of the West and democratic freedoms: Moslem fundamentalists.
The Evangelical Alliance of Kenya has posted on its website a photograph copy of a Memorandum of Understanding, dated and signed on August 29, 2007, between Raila Odinga and Shiekh Abdullah Abdi, chairman of the National Muslim Leaders Forum of Kenya.
It pledges the support of Kenyan Moslems for Raila's election. In return, as President of Kenya, Raila agrees to 14 actions, listed a) through n) on page two. Read them all, and be sure you're sitting down. Here's a sample:
b) Within 6 months re-write the Constitution of Kenya to recognize Shariah as the only true law sanctioned by the Holy Quran for Muslim declared regions.
c) With immediate effect dismiss the Commissioner of Police who has allowed himself to be used by heathens and Zionists to oppress the Kenyan Muslim community.
g) Within one year facilitate the establishment of a Shariah court in every Kenyan divisional headquarters. [Note: everywhere in Kenya, not just in "Muslim declared regions."]
Again, read all of them, for others are just as bad or worse.
It may also not surprise you that Raila is not Moslem himself, but claims to be a practicing Anglican. Only a minority of Luo are Moslem (most are Christian). Kenya on the whole is Christian, with 80% of Kenyans either Protestant or Roman Catholic, while only 10% are Moslem.
And here is the biggest non-surprise: Raila Odinga has, in his own words, a "close personal friendship" with Barrack Hussein Obama Junior.
When Obama went to Kenya in August of 2006, he was hosted by Raila and spoke in praise of him at rallies in Nairobi:

If Sarah doesn’t mention this it will get absolutely no play. Who know, maybe John took it off the table
They brought it up breifly on Fox morning show and cut Corsi off real quick...dont know why.
I was thinking because he is going to be on Hannity on Mon.
or that they found the emails to be false?
I hope they are waiting for a big Scoop on Monday...knowing that Friday is not a good time to release such news, especially on a long weekend.
No one is really paying attention right now....long weekend....MLB play offs.....
better to wait until day before last Debate.
Reference bump. Thanks!
Watch this with an open mind. Corsi has been shaky in the past. If he has the goods all well and good. If not then just move on.
YouTube: OBAMA STORIES FOR KIDS - Barack and Odinga http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tx4LMGLOi30
Thanks...its just we are looking for some hard evidence....
Although I think if this story...and pictures of him campaigning with Odinga and the riots....will scare the
begeebas out of people. I just want Hannity to bring it up and show the pictures of him in Kenya...that will do it!
Raise the doubt....thats all we need ladies and gents!
There is no question that Obama campaigned for Raila Odinga. There is credible VIDEO of it. I included a link to it in my post. On Odinga's official website, he describes himself as "Your Agent of Change". I included a link to the website as well. There are MANY potentially devastating angles to this story. Please (all) read everything!
ETL I already past those posts on by e-mail. Good Work.
I think true Americans are already suspicious of Obama...then there are those people that if they saw Obama stuff a ballot with votes from his sock on TV, would say it was a right wing thing....
If these pictures get out and thats all they need to do..independents and those on the line will not vote for Obama....now see what I said...not that they will vote for McCain....but they will definatley not vote for Obama!
by the way...this first pic. The guy looks like he is begging for his life. I wonder if he lost it? So sad.
Talk about beating a dead horse. 99.9% of the voting population have never heard of Odinga and those that have think it is a dental condition. This just doesn’t have legs. Ok, I made the number up but I standby it.
LOL! That’s great!
You couldn’t be more wrong, Odinga is HUGE, have you watched the 8 minute video?
Here is something interesting and encouraging. I engage in subterfuge at youtube with the Kool-Aid crowd, I’m sure the undecided are reading too.
I have asked many Kool-Aid drinkers on youtube to search Barack Obama and Raila Odinga and tell them to watch the 8 minute video and then write me back and tell me they’re still comfortable with Obama.
I haven’t heard back from ONE of them, not ONE!!
Take a few minutes each day on political ads on youtube and politely ask people the question I asked.
That guy was probably one of Odinga's supporters (rioters). The AOL article in which that photo appeared almost seems to be trying to rationalize the bloodshed.
What's your point, that we should HELP the leftwing media bury the story?? There are more than 3 weeks to go before the election. Flood the media outlets with a link to this post, because it contains a lot of critically important evidence on the Obama-Odinga connection all in one shot.
Thanks for the data. A lot of stuff here, perhaps too much for me to peruse at this time.
My point was made....99% of the population have never heard of this guy, 3 weeks to go and no one cares at this point. It is a little late to get tied up in knots over something that will have absolutely no effect on the outcome of the election. But you seem to enjoy this so have at it.
Perhaps you'll have more time once these pesty elections are over in 3 weeks.
