Sorry ISIS, no World war

Daesh maybe trying hard to fulfil the prophecy at Dabiq but unfortunately it's all but a myth which may not materialise into anything in the foreseeable future. The battle against crusaders and/or infidels is slowly being waged against fellow Muslims as well, particularly the Shia Muslim and this explains why Iran will and can in no way offer support to The Islamic State. It appears as though Daesh's immediate concern is rebellion from the Middle East it's place of origin. Clearly most gulf states have shown no intention of abetting I.S in it's alleged jihadi ambitions. The terrorist group in common terms has become a big menace to these countries and has threatened the stability of most of them. Most countries in middle east have joined the fight against Daesh either financialy or by direct combat. Jordan for instance has been launching airstrikes on ISIS targets and has been very instrumental in liberating several towns in Syria. Turkey has been adamant for long time and could hardly intervene in the battle of Kobani, pitting ISIS against Kurdish fighters right at her border but strongly condemns the jihadi outfit. World war three can only achieve critical mass in the event that world super powers form alliances and lock horns with the aim of dominating world business and politics. Daesh isn't exactly foxy as it should have been because it finds itself on the losing end, a common enemy if you will. Russia, a strong ally of Assad's regime has been at the forefront of striking ISIL targets, a move which was overly criticised by the Westerners particularly the United States. But when Russian plane, metrojet was downed recently it became clear that they too had been marked as an adversary by Daesh. This brought the two most superior nations together adding on to a string of other influential partners such as France, U.K, Germany(expected), Canada and Italy among others. This synergy will together eliminate the threat of Deash without disturbing world peace. Candidly the battle will be over before it even starts because Daesh lack the sophistication of weaponry and sheer numbers exhibited by the armies they are yet to face. The only obstacle being the civilians who make the millitants quite subtle, IS lives amongst Syrians and Iraqis. The prospects of a third world war is quite remote and far-fetched to be precise. The only war is against ISIL. Main opponents being all countries inhabiting this beautiful planet, Muslims and Christians, Capitalist and Communists together pulling down walls they've defined in order to work in unity against the common enemy. For Daesh it's time to give up the ghost.

Kisumu city next big thing.

If the projections made by the UN and World bank were anything to go by, then more than 65% of the Kenyan population will be residing in cities. This begs the question, are the towns expanding towards this course? Kenya is by far one of the most developed states in the sub saharan Africa, this is evidently seen in the infrastructure that has been put in place and those currently underway. Many factors come into play in order to woo foreign investors and it all boils down to the amenities our cities offer such as good health, good IT systems etc. Its quite commendable that our economy has improved since independence and still theres so much in the offing. I took a brief walk in my city Kisumu, one of the Kenyan three major cities and the progress being made is overwhelming. I think the county govt is in the right track towards achieving vision 2030. I've been to several other major towns and the same prospects are reflected. For instance Eldoret is fast growing and you would be surp...

Al shabaab vanquished

I have always fancied JRR Tolkien's masterpiece of the Lord of the Rings. It's by far the most accomplished mythical work of all time. The symbolism is phenomenal, the legendary tussle between good and evil, hope and desperation alike. The rise and fall of the mighty necromancer, Sauron only firmly reminds us that light will always endure against the dark no matter how long it takes . Today's middle earth encounters many challenges of varying degrees, the people inhabiting this realm have a new enemy which could possibly disturb world peace. Mankind will be a thing of the past, should brothers go up in arms against each other in the name of religion. Terrorism has taken centre stage in world news and politics, and contnues to be an intriguing issue with each passing day. Fortunately terrorists are fighting a losing battle as witnessesed in several parts of the world. Once teeming with young militants from across the globe, Al shabaab today is a far cry from what it was in i...

Drop in the ocean

In a country  where opulence, status and pedigree hold a great deal of significance, a few have elected exemplary modesty. A trend not so many would resonate with considering the norm. The wealthy class of Kenyans inhabit  expansive bungalows in some of the most sought after suburbs. They enjoy the convoys of a myriad of high end cars in the market with  24 hour security detail. Even the mundane middle class Kenyan is a prisoner of prestige always wanting the best apartments in relatively costly neighbourhoods. Most Kenyans would prefer buying high end SUVs given the chance and that explains why prados and range rovers are becoming increasingly common these days. The struggle to flaunt wealth and one's accomplishments has driven many into corruption and fight for supremacy. In fact most mheshimiwas prefer being identified by their titles for instance governor, senator, advocate, doctor so and so  among others in order to affirm their presence and authority. The top j...
