Wakenya walililia sana hii hadi kufikia hatua ya kuwa na chuki na mataifa ambayo Obama alitembelea na kuwaacha wao Tanzania ikiwemo. Ikumbukwe kuwa Obama aliposhinda uchaguzi wa kwanza kenya ilitangaza siku moja ya kusherehekea kitaifa lakini jamaa amekuwa akiwaignore baada ya kuona siasa zao hazieleweke na kujiweka karibu nao kungemcost kisiasa kunako U.S.A. Sasa baada ya kuona anakaribia ukingoni ameamua kuwatembelea wakenya.
For years, Kenya has
been a political headache for
President Obama and a geopolitical
headache for the United States. But
now in his seventh year in office, with
his last election behind him, Mr. Obama has decided to embrace his
heritage by visiting the land of his
father for the first time as president.
Mr. Obama will travel to Kenya in July
to co-host a forum on
entrepreneurship as part of an effort
to support economic development in
Africa, the White House announced
Monday. In the process, the president may hope to exorcise some of the
ghosts that have haunted his
relationship with his familys home
country so much that he once felt
obliged to produce a birth certificate
to prove he was not born there.
Until now, Mr. Obama has resolutely
avoided stopping in Kenya while in
office, bypassing it during three
previous presidential trips to sub-
Saharan Africa. In addition to the
chattering such a stop would presumably provoke among those
who still refuse to believe he was
born in the United States, the idea of a
visit to Kenya was also problematic
on the diplomatic front because of
political instability and charges of crimes against humanity lodged
against that countrys president.
