I think for most of us, there is a time limit on accessing this documentary. It is such an important expose on what "fighting terrorism" ends up meaning for many African regimes. It is eerily kenyaesque. Then there are the colluding actors,those who run the world. Those whose societies are the actual genesis of most abuses unfolding on the continent. The Chinese as jonny-come-lately, are great support for oppressive elites/regimes. And the worse are the ones who look like us, who today truly facilitate the continued rape of Africa, rape they eagerly partake in. Now Kenyans, (along with the world's peoples), are we going to get clear on who our enemies are? That way we can get on with the business of riding ourselves of the lot. Far as I can see, the first and most important order of business,is the immediate local rotten 1%.

Scroll down that Frontline pg. for an anticle: "What Happens When U.S.-Backed Regimes Are Accused of Abuse" Here's an excerpt.
"But Nigeria is hardly the only African country the U.S. assists whose security forces have been accused of committing abuses in the fight against terrorism. In East Africa, where the U.S. invests more aid than anywhere else in sub-Saharan Africa, the key players been accused of serious human-rights violations for years, often in their fight against the Somali militant group al Shabaab, which has pledged allegiance to Al Qaeda. Despite its sometimes vocal criticism of these countries, the U.S. continues to provide considerable funding. This year alone, the U.S. gave $77 million in military aid to East African nations."
