Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga, a Luo Marxist, and former Kenyan Barack Obama are cousins.
In an interview with Reuters in January, Odinga said Barack called him twice in one day to express his concern over the violent situation in Kenya since Odinga lost the elections.
But, the situation did not improve.
The opposition claimed the election was rigged in favour of President Mwai Kibaki.
Odinga’s thugs then went on a rampage killing hundreds of Kenyans and burning churches.
Doug Ross reported on the election violence:
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.
Reuters posted this video interview with Odiga talking about his cousin and former Kenyan, Barack Obama:
Some 600 people died in rioting after the election and 250,000 were displaced.
Now there is more proof that Obama was backing Odinga.
In fact, Barack Obama designated a personal aide as his direct contact for the 2007 Kenyan presidential campaign of Raila Odinga according to Bob Unruh at World Net Daily. Documents obtained by WND also include Odinga’s election plans that included stoking racial tensions and class warfare:
The document at one point suggests: “It is possible to trigger a class war by painting the Kibaki Government as an insensitive, uncaring group of Muthaiga Golf clubbers. Available research also suggests that this strategy could also resonate with poor kikuyu youth who feel economically marginalized by their own government. As part of this strategy the party should seek to elevate the emotions within all youth constituents who may it successful, be willing to vote for us in the protest. Visible signs of class disparity will provide important fodder for this theme.”
Why is that not surprising?
It sounds like there is more information coming out on Obama’s Kenyan connections.
Founding Bloggers has damning footage of Obama stumping for radical socialist Odinga.
