Congo voting data reveal huge fraud in poll to replace Kabila | Financial Times

Reposting because I put it in the wrong thread. FT got access to the real results of the Congolese elections Analysis shows there was massive fraud. What now?

Meanwhile a huge AlShabab attack in Nairobi Friend used to work out of the complex attacked, had colleagues who were killed. Horrible photos from the scene.

Kenya, Kenya, Kenya. Somalis are about to suffer over there ooo

Kabila is puppetering this gambit. I can see him pushing for a new election in 2-4 months, allowing him to retain office

Not true, Somalis are ubiqitous in Nairobi and in all facets of life Also to be fair to Kenyans they generally are not malicious.

Friend's two colleagues killed in the attack are Somalis as well Regional President of a Somali province was also in the hotel at the time but managed to escape.

Sometimes, we should interpret Al-Shabab's insurgency as a continuation of the Somali Civil War - the violent contest over who shall control the destinies of the Somali speaking peoples in the Horn of Africa...

Parts of Northern Kenya use to belong to Somalia.

AlShabab doesnt care about borders or Greater Somalia.

The BBC will report when hundreds have been killed in the DR Congo, but when thousands have been slaughtered in Nigeria because of murderous Fulani herdsmen - they are largely quiet.

They support the Hausa-Fulani ruling oligarchy. They always have in Nigeria. They want their obedient former colonies to look good in their media, while they trash DR Congo, Mali etc. French and German news media have run more pieces on Biafra than the British BBC has.
