Although we are living in the year 2006, and are now stanging up for our Justice and rights, which have been denied for more than 500 years, after the brutal invasion, kidnapping and whipping across the middle passage, and slave trading activities on the plantations, and other places of forced labor, against African people, we are now being offered dog food, instead of Reparation, Repatriation, Restoration, Compensation, and some genuine apologies, for the criminal activities, which have been, and are still being practiced, against African people everywhere.

There is a very clear and significant difference, between black people and white people, it is both physical and also in our behavior, and those who want to go on and deny this naked fact, can go on making a fool of themselves, since they are not really fooling anybody but themselves, and those who think like them. If you take a physical look at the white man, he is definately different from the blackman in color, in their hair, in their eyes, in their attitudes, so what is wrong with them living under their own apple tree, and leave other people's friut trees alone? The world will really be a better place to live, if we allow each race of people, to conduct their own affairs, peacefully without interference. Please read the article below.

Kenya: For starving children, 42 tons of dog food ...

The Nation (Kenya), by Patrick Nzioka and Mike Mwaniki
January 31, 2006

The founder of a New Zealand company wants to come to
the aid of starving children in Kenya ... by sending
them 42 tons of dog food. The food, in a powder to be
mixed with water, could feed 160 orphans for two
months, says the founder of the dog food firm, Ms
Christine Drummond.

The powdered meal was "a high powered food full of
nutrients," and "it tastes yummy" Ms Drummond said. In
fact she likes it so much she even sprinkles some on
her porridge every morning as a pick-me-up, she said.

Ms Drummond, the founder of a firm that makes Mighty
Mix dog biscuits, wants to send the food to hungry
children on Rusinga Island in Lake Victoria, which
falls in Mbita constituency.

She says she heard the children were starving after
the daughter of her friend, Mrs Lois McGirr of North
Canterbury, New Zealand, returned from a recent visit
to Kenya.

Ms McGirr said she was distributing the food through
what she said was a Kenyan charity called Mercy
Mission and was promoting the food as a "nutritional
supplement" rather than dog food.

Originally Ms Drummond said she had planned to send
Mighty Mix dog biscuits but when she realised there
were so many hungry children she thought it better to
send packets of the raw ingredients instead.

"The first plan was to send dog biscuits and change
the vitamins then when I heard there were so many
little children I could not send them a bicky," she
explained.

The 42 consignment is in the form of 6,000 sacks
containing a powder which when water is added creates
a "sustainable meal". The powder contains freeze-dried
meat - beef, mutton, pork, chicken and deer - plus the
sea food, green lip mussels.

Other ingredients include kelp, garlic, egg, whole
grain cereals and cold pressed seed flour. The first
consignment of the powder - called NZ's Raw Dry
Nourish - is expected to leave Lyttelton, a New
Zealand port, in March this year.

However, it appears unlikely that the Government will
allow the dog food to go to the children. Commented
Government spokesman Alfred Mutua Monday night:
"Kenyan children are not in such shortage of food to
result to eating dog food."

He added that while the Government would appreciate
help to deal with famine, such assistance should
conform to the Kenya Bureau of Standards and meet
specific needs.

The Director of Medical Services, Dr James Nyikal,
added: "There is no way that the ministry can allow
dog food mixture to be brought in for human
consumption."

And Mbita MP Otieno Kajwang' said his constituents
would reject food initially meant for dogs.

He the told Nation by phone."Dogs in our area don't
feed on powder; they eat fish."

Ms Drummond's offer of dog food for children was made
during a television chat show in New Zealand. Media
reports later quoted an agent for Mighty Mix dog food,
Ms Gaynor Siviterw, who said it would be "marvellous"
if the mixture helped the Kenyan children as it helped
dogs.

"The dogs thrive on it. They have energy, put on
weight. It's bizarre but if it's edible and it works
for these people, then it's a brilliant idea. It beats
eating rice," she said.

However, the New Zealand spokesman for the charity
Oxfam, Mr Barry Coates, expressed doubts about the
idea.

He told the country's media: " Kenyans are dignified
and proud people and we are concerned at the message
it sends, if they do find out that the children are
being fed the same ingredients as dog food."

He added: "While it is a well-meaning impulse we are
concerned they are sending the wrong message."

Mr Coates suggested that it would be much better to
get food supplies from within Kenya rather than
sending it around the world.

However, Ms Drummond appealed to the public not to
react to the fact the powder is the same recipe as her
dog food.

She said: "I believe that you can make a difference,
and I have made a difference with the New Zealand dogs
in the high country and nationwide, for their
nutrition, since 1992 when I put a relief feed out for
them, and I believe I can really make a difference in
Kenya.

And she went on: "I sprinkle it on my porridge in the
morning and also my lunch or tea and it just gives me
that wee pickup"

Attempts to contact the charity Mercy Mission through
a number on its website proved unsuccessful.

The New Zealand media stated that drought, crop
failures and massive food shortages in parts of Kenya
had left millions of people without access to adequate
food.

Oxfam International estimated the number of people at
risk at between 2.5 million and 3.5 million.
