Tues 10th August 2027, Election Day
The United Nations General Assembly provides a platform for world leaders to showcase their country's foreign policy focus and emphasis. Speeches delivered at the assembly often reflect a nation's priorities and values.For instance, Fidel Castro of Cuba once spoke for four hours, criticising the US, while Muammar Gaddafi of Libya lambasted the US and UN system for being skewed against Africans. Nikita Khrushchev banged his shoes protesting against the United States. Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu brought a graphic display and drew cartoons to show dangers of Iran nuclear programme. Jacinda Ardern, of New Zealand, highlighted the importance of work-life balance for women with her baby at a UN meeting.
Lambasting western nations in international fora and having an insular, inwardly looking foreign policy is colourful and enticing. Domestic audiences tend to be attracted by that. But it has disastrous outcomes. The domestic euphoria only lasts for a few years until hard economic reality hits.Ask Zimbabweans. When President Robert Mugabe announced land dispossession programme against whites, Africans rallied behind him. Of course, the policy failed in the use of land as a resource for economic development. His people sunk into poverty years later due to inflation caused by dwindling agricultural productivity. Burkina Faso Ibrahim Toure is in every Matatu poster due to his nationalism but watch his country in a few years to come
African leaders walked out when he took to the podium.They just hate him.No wonder they rejected his project Raila.Nobody has time to listen to nonsense.
Ruto is data driven and don't speak like the past failed leaders. He is producing results daily at home and abroad. Objective folks are giving him 10/10 in brain capacity and performance, especially pan Africanist here in America. By the way after Galana Kulalu 20+ year stint, harvest of maize is here! What a leader. Read the comments. If you cannot see Ruto's work at home and abroad 99% of the time you are a failure now and into the future!//www.youtube.com/watch?v=inJp63PHFb0
