It has been three years since the small village of Purapul in northern Kenya saw any significant rainfall and residents have been forced to turn to eating bitter wild berries in order to survive, though some say it is just a matter of time until they succumb to starvation. Their plight is part of a severe drought affecting people across the Horn of Africa, where an estimated 18 million people are on the verge of famine.

Amen to that! πŸ›πŸ™βœοΈ

Revelation 13:16-18
King James Version

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Revelation 14:9-12
King James Version

9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

“It’s 2022, and these people are living like stone age hunter gatherers. When you do not adapt by adopting a more advanced way of life, this is what happens.”

The Christian missionaries used to (still do?) get argued against for attempting to bring these primitive people Christianity and also education, etc.

There is a fine line perhaps in keeping one’s culture alive while also trying to survive.

Les Stroud (Survivorman) did a series called “Beyond Survival” where he documented dwindling cultures due to drought, expansion of modern culture, etc. He did a good job I think in balancing the admiration of their cultures, but also the reality that they weren’t going to survive for various reasons (kids going off to the cities, poor crops, etc.). He viewed his filming as a way to document these cultures before they went extinct.

They appear to be Turkana tribe, not Maasai. The Maasai women’s dress doesn’t have the same neckwear.

Obama is from the Luo tribe. Not sure the Luo care about the Turkana tribe.

Kenya is an artificial construct of the British colonialists.

Not sure where you’re from, but the MSM in PRC (Politically Repressive Canada) aka Canaduh, not only lean to the left, they are also PUBLICLY BOUGHT AND PAID FOR by Prime Mistake True-dolt’s government!

Several years ago, he gave $700 MILLION CDN to much of the Canadian MSM, to ensure their ‘accuracy’ and ensure they were not ‘unduly influenced’ by ‘foreign actors’ and insure their ‘independence’! A month before he called the last election, he doled out another $70 million CDN to the MSM.

The Canadian MSM is even more ‘in the sack’ with Justin Castreau than the US MSM is ‘in the sack’ with XiJinBiden! Canaduh IS A DICTATORSHIP! TUCK FRUDEAU!
