The Geopolitical Power of Uhuru
Kenyatta Presidency in Kenya
March 9 | Posted by David Goldman |
Geopolitik, Intelligence News, Military
Intelligence
Uhuru Kenyatta was declared the 4th
Kenyan president before mid-morning
9th March 2013 after Kenya decided
he was its best bet.
Kenyatta won the election with a
significant and commanding lead of
near 1million votes beating Raila
Odinga and promising Kenya a rapid
economic growth.
This remarkable win weathers many
storms turbulently homing on Uhuru
Kenyatta including British attempt to
influence the outcome of the election
besides the ICC.
Kenyatta becomes a president of a
rapidly developing African country
that has broke ranks with the West
besides becoming a military power
after destroying Islamist terrorist and
militant Somalia in Somalia, beating
the West and the NATO counter-
terrorism operations hands down.
There are repercussions and
geopolitical ramifications to the Uhuru
Kenyatta Win as 4th President of
Kenya and almost every foreign envoy
in Kenya is rethinking his engagement
rules after many of them came against
his candidature besides threatened to
sanction his presidency.
Strategic Intelligence Service
Analyzes Scenarios
Economic factors that make Uhuru a
powerful and one of the most sought
African president by the Western
diplomats are many.
Oil and Gas discoveries and
confirmation of their commercial
values, coalmines, titanium export,
and gold and geothermal power
generation are key attractions pulling
edgy investors to Kenya.
This wealth alongside massive
infrastructure programs under
Chinese contractors and a successful
anti-terror operation in Somalia makes
Kenya an attractive besides strategic
development partner and investment
hub.
Kenya no longer leans on the West for
development programs; rather, it has
set the terms of diplomatic
engagement very clear, that, only
development partnership makes
diplomatic relations sense.
This puts the West and the European
Union in such an awkward position
and seemingly losing face after failing
to stymies the Kenyatta presidency.
Kenyatta insists, Kenya does not need
the West than the West needs Kenya,
a very significant statement since
Russia, China, and the Asian
economies have become Kenya’s
strategic development partners.
By failing to work with Kenyatta, the
West risks losing vital assets,
investments, and funded programs
managed by international NGO’s and
the United Nations Development
programs across East and central
Africa.
The West will need this man, more
than Kenya needs them.
Military, Intelligence and
Terrorism Teams
China has been covertly funding
Kenyan military and intelligence
operations in the region, making
China one of the most important
development and security programs
partner with Kenya making the West
worried its losing clout.
The United States alone has invested
billions of dollars through military,
intelligence, and counter-terrorism
programs across East and Central
Africa with its main forward bases in
Kenya.
Kenya National Intelligence Service
shares intelligence with the Central
Intelligence Agency CIA, conducts
covert anti-terror operations alongside
the Kenya NIS and Defense Forces.
Sidelining Kenyatta would see these
intelligence and counter-terrorism
joint task force programs collapse as
Kenyatta seeks alternative partners.
The West will not take such immense
risks whatsoever.
The West particularly Britain will find it
very difficult to charm Uhuru Kenyatta
enough to make business remain as
usual in the interest of immense
Western intelligence, military, and
economic investments in the country
and the unstable region.
Kenya has been upgrading its military
capability by sourcing new weaponry
from China, Russia, and Ukraine
further sidelining the West, which in
the past enjoyed these lucrative
contracts through their defense
equipment contracting firms.
Regional Geopolitical Outcome
Kenya is a regional economic giant
that in 10 years under a good regime
can overtake economies like South
Africa, besides the regional military
superpower.
Every military or regionally important
security intelligence operation planned
by the West is coordinated by Kenya;
Kenyatta’s astute character and near-
radical resolve observed in his political
self defines a more power-hungry
general who will increase Kenya’s
geopolitical influence.
Kenyatta is not very diplomatic
particularly in geopolitical scenarios;
he will make snappy what he
perceives a threat under a credible
intelligence report, hence halt any
advancement of an agenda that
injures the country.
Kenya’s neighbors and international
partners will contend with this
character hence approach Kenyatta
with enough caution to ensure,
though distant, a relation is
established and maintained.
The West will have a big challenge
convincing Kenyatta they wish Kenya
well, since Kenyatta already views
them skeptically and has often told
them off and they, have constantly
convinced him, they are Greeks
bearing gifts hence he should be wary
of them.
The influence Kenyatta has across
Africa is significant further denting the
West influence in the dynamic regional
geopolitics, particularly the economics
and military operations.
The Uhuru Kenyatta win is a big loss
to the West since it has lost all its grip
on the region to a hardliner politician
who does not view them as partners
anymore than enemies of Kenya.
The West indeed will have to bow to
Uhuru Kenyatta or lose to Russia,
Japan, and China all who now fund
Kenyan security and economic
development projects with less ado.
 
this is incredible....i really wish all african nations would cut their ties with western imperialists and establish ties with eastern powers
