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.
(snip)
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:

I repeat, 99.9% of the population have no idea what you are talking about, none. Three weeks to go before the election is the not time to bring in something from overseas, that the vast majority of Americans couldn't care less about. Seems there are other things in Obama's past to get worked up about, right now this isn't one of them. When I hear Rush, et al take this on as a serious problem then people will care, not until.
When someone wants to make a point, it should be done as succinctly as possible. Overwhelming someone with redundant information is not a good way to make one's point. One article at a time, please.
OK, you’re right, no one cares about Odinga. No Christians will care that Obama campaigned for Odinga and Odinga started riots and genocide against Christians after he lost.
No one will care that 800 Christian Churches were burned down, no one will care that Odinga supporters chased 50 Christians into a church and burned it to the ground. This is the man Obama supported.
Rush and Sean will be on it, you can do your part too, you don’t need to take marching orders from them.
Nobody knows because no one has (yet) reported on it! So we need to drown the media in demands that they DO report on it! Hannity will hopefully be launching the story beginning this Sunday on Hannity's America (9PM and 3 hrs later at 12 midnight, eastern time), or so he said last week on his radio show. He is also supposed to have Jerome Corsi on Hannity and Colmes this coming Monday to discuss some related matters. But keep in mind that Corsi's info would only be 'icing on the cake'. What is ALREADY known is damaging enough.
Funny thing here is when you do a search on the Obama http://www.fightthesmears.com/search site the name Raila Odinga does not even come up. They are hiding from this issue or they would address it!
Hmmmm just another lie by Obama.

I bet that Jerome Corsi has got it and will be played Monday on Hannity’s Radio or TV show. Corsi’s visit is going to be discussed there. There is another show to drop for the October surprise.
We will see what happens.
Everybody should send on the link to this thread and let the most people possible see this.
Regardless of what Corsi has or says on Hannity & Colmes this Monday, what is known already is bad enough...for the lying Marxist Barack Obama.
Ping to the important Obama / Odinga vids at post #30, for those who haven’t seen them...
BTTT
Thanks, FRiend!
Can you get this to the MSM. ASAP?......People must see this!
I hope they put this out there in the mainstream. The truth must be known. While it is hard to argue that Obama didn't know about Ayers past, and didn't know that Frank Raines had been fired for mis-management of Fannie Mae and pockeded over $90 million in bonuses, it cannot be argued that Obama wasn't aware of his cousin Obinga's socialist Orange Democrat Movement agenda and the fact that he abused his office and our tax dollars to campaign for a thug and tyrant. Cousin Obinga's revolt turned to ethnic cleansing which killed thousands and displaced over half a million.
And James Carville has the audacity to warn of race riots if Obama loses. Obama knows how to unify. Kill the opposition and burn down their churches, just like his cousin Obinga did in Kenya.
Thanks. I had not seen these videos.
McCain just states the ALL facts of all the scandals and Obama’s excuses. (Which is quite a lengthy list) AND THEN STATES “Obama is a Chicago politician”
It would even make a great skit of SNL
