My Compatriots,
Now that we are armed, we have the greatest opportunity to help our people, to fulfill their noblest aim – the liberation of this land. So we have to work hard and fast. Remember our Father Gikuyu said: ‘Muthii tene akinyaga tene’ (The traveller who leaves early arrives at his destination early).
With untiring efforts and extraordinary heroism, we will be able to change the history of this country and consequently improve the social and political life of our people; although some of our compatriots have collaborated with the imperialists to oppose this great national effort.
In order to succeed in this national endeavour, we must work tirelessly among the African people, teaching them the importance of our struggle, thus uniting all our forces against the foreign occupiers. Remember that Kenya does not only mean Nyandarwa and Mount Kirinyaga. It is a large country, it requires many committed cadres to go and work vigorously where our influence has not been felt. You should know that apart from the Gikuyu, Embu and Meru, other nationalists are determined to join the national struggle, but we haven’t sent KLFA cadres to mobilize them. They want this country to be liberated, just like we do.
In this connection, each and every cadre should try to convince the oppressed masses of this land of the significance of this struggle. It is a great mistake for some of us to think that we are fighting for the liberation of Central Kenya alone.
Finally we should be concerned with, and be interested in, the political struggle of the African continent because our liberation struggle is part and parcel of the great struggle of the African peoples against imperialism. Remember, because we dared to challenge the forces of colonialism with arms, most people in Africa think highly of us; we have their moral and political support.
If we succeed in liberating this country from British imperialism, our people will immortalize us. We will become their great ancestors.

Over the weekend, Algerians took to the streets, including the police and the army. No work, no transport, no schools, no businesses.
They want the government to go home, demanding urgent and change and an end to the rule of President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, who has ruled for 20 years!

A peaceful revolution. This scares presidents to death because even cowardly citizens will have no fear of joining a peaceful revolution.
If everybody in the economy downed their tools (teachers, police, airport workers, port workers, hospital workers, power station workers) Uhuru would resign within a week.
That kind of unity scares presidents and keeps them awake long after everybody else has fell asleep.
At 82 president bouteflika is a young man! Aende anaenda wapi ? He has ruled only 20yrs! He still has the energy of a young stallion despite suffering a stroke in 2013 and rarely seen in public since then. Stop wasting time african presidents are meant to rule for life! It’s their birthright handed to them by God himself. From bongo to nguema,kabila,museveni,kagame to Mugabe these are gods punishment to us and should be accepted as such!
Don’t ever expect such solidarity from Kenyans, MPs added their salaries, no one was moved. Billions are stolen, why is our man being targeted… We are a rotten country, we can’t even stand for our basic rights.
Back to Algeria, it’s all peaceful, no stone throwers, no violence no mungikis…
