Damn right, Askari Kanzu, Pev 2008 occupies every Kenyan's Spirit, and rightly so it does. First sensible thing you have eked out of your head since...!!!
Kenyans have had their moment, undeniably true.
But as human beings are individually the sum total of their experiences, so too is a Nation - it is the maturation matrix of the possibilities in National Conduct - in Germany today are still alive a generation that slaughtered remorselessly other human beings for Hitler barely sixty years ago - and their Per Capita Income is how comparative to the Wajamaa Tanzanians, eh? Wacha!! Germany is what she is because of ''her moments'' as a Nation, good and bad!!
Yet you and others like you would have Kenyans believe that PEV2008 has somehow condemned Kenyans collectively to a state unequal to Wajamaa Tanzanians or other human beings!! What a load of croak!
Lemme let you on a little secret, bra - for us Kenyans, PEV 2008 memories is an anchor that holds us true to our Nationhood, re-ignites our belief in our Nationhood. It renews our generations, beyond the heady memories of our deathly Independence struggle. Kenya is stronger / older now than pre-PEV2008.
You Tanzanians will have your moments too; hopefully you shall have learned some valuable lessons from looking around you at others that trod that path ahead of you - a knife cuts, you need not prove that to be sure.
The demographic dynamics in Tanzania are many times more complex that those in Kenyan, what with your hundred and forty distinct tribes. Thus far, Centralized political and administrative Control ( a throwback of Ujamaa-ism) and a rather deficient but evolving democratic Culture, have not permitted venting of whatever tensions invariably erode your Nationhood adhesive. That will come, as surely as the sun rises each morning. I doubt any Kenyan would wish Tanzania to have a moment as terrible as we did in 2008.
