POUR REFLEXION
Let's stamp put this madness
Story by MILDRED NGESA
It is enough! Snap out of this madness. We have battered this country almost to a pulp, turned on the bloodshed with a vengeance and reneged all that we used to hold dear and true. Enough! If it was a point we were struggling to make, then surely we have made it. If it was fury we re burning to blow then there is no doubt that the atmosphere is awash with so much anger that the hearts of our ancestors can explode just by the mere toxicity of it all.
Enough! Kenyans, Enough! How much more property can we burn? Just how much more can we keep brandishing out machetes and batons? How many more stones and deadly arsenal can we pelt? How many more throats can we slit?
We used to be called Kenyans with pride, a name said in awe at the track-fields and the game reserves – the shining phoenix of a continent that was marred by so much. We used to be that safe haven sought after by the world amidst the smouldering chaos that are common in Africa. It was other countries in Africa, never Kenya. No, Kenya was different. Kenyans are more democratically wealthy. Kenyans are more sensible, more mature, reasonable and logical. No, this kind of hellhole never had a Kenyan print. It used to happen in other worlds, somewhere far away which we could only read or watch on TV. So now we have changed the tides. We have shown to the whole world just how much of animals we really are. Yes, we have done it. We have defiled all that we hold sacred by attacking the sanctity of life, we have proved that power supersedes all. We have displayed our demonic sides and allowed our hearts to be over-taken by the darkness that defies all human understanding. We have killed our very souls.
Kenyans it is enough! We have done it all now, it is enough!
Just how much more do we want to continue displaying our dirty laundry to the rest of the world? How much more do we want to continue smashing hard-earned independence after 44 years of struggling to rebuild a nation?
Yesterday, only yesterday we were giving each other high-fives, amazed at how advanced we have become compared to others in the continent. Just yesterday, the whole world was impressed and cheering us on for a bloodless transition after 24 years of tyrannical rule. Only yesterday, we were the rising shinning pebble amongst Africa’s muddy waters of political turmoil. Today, we stand before the world, forlorn and stained with the blood of senseless killings and wanton destruction. We stand accused as a people who lost their souls, relinquished their sanity to embrace thoughtless violence and acts of anarchy beyond comprehension.
It is enough. Enough, fellow Kenyans, it is enough.
The wars we are fighting in the streets, engaging the innocents and causing unrest is nothing short of misplaced fury directed at the wrong target. That innocent motorist you are pelting with stones could be the very same saviour to whisk you to hospital for a life-saving intervention if the bullets unfortunately hits you. Those markets, food stores and shops you are looting and burning down, you will need them tomorrow when you children are wailing themselves sick because hunger stalks them from every corner. The dysfunctional hospitals and health centres that are incapacitated because of riots and barricaded could save the life of a loved one, if only we could put aside the lawlessness and let peace prevail.
The damage has been done now. It is impossible to re-wind the clock and pretend that this nightmare was never a reality. It is impossible to stare the innocent dead in the face and beg pardon for nipping lives in the bud from those who had nothing to do with this madness. It is impossible to hide the scars that have run so deep in our conscience that we have been left with questions, which can never be answered. It is impossible to be normal again.
Therefore, it is enough! We have to abandon our warlord tendencies and give logic a chance. We have to pause and breath and look around and wake up from this crazy reverie. Take a grip on yourselves. Take a hard look at yourselves and summon whatever energy you can summon and accept that it is indeed enough. This madness has to stop. It either it stops now or we tumble over the bottomless abyss of irredeemable destruction. It is either we stop it now or we forever disappear from the map of peace.
This country we are destroying is the only soil, which we will ever tread in freedom. This very same country we are reducing to rubble is the only identity we can flash out on our passports, birth certificates and Identity cards. This country is the only birthright you and I ought to preserve and jealously guard.
Today we wake up craving normalcy, craving busy mornings, bursting afternoons and sun-downer evenings. We are waking up to the realization that we take so much for granted. We are busy butchering each other forgetting that as Kenyans, there is no other reserved Kenya for us to run to, that at the end of it all we will still need to be home – to be here, in this very same Kenya we are destroying. People, let us snap out of the madness. It is enough.

Je voudrais simplement vous exprimer ma peine, de voir ce pay auquel vous semblez attachée, se déchirer de la sorte.
It is enough, en effet.
