Today the African nation of Kenya is simmering with tension that threatens to erupt any moment into race riots that would make those following the Rodney King trial in Los Angeles seem relatively tame. This percolating racial unrest was ignited on Thursday when murder charges against Thomas Cholmondeley, 45, son of the 5th Baron Delamere were summarily dismissed.
Cholmondeley: Released murderer and English heir to a mammoth African estate…
This fortunate son was arrested last month on suspicion of killing a Maasai chief who was trying to detain animal poachers in the vicinity of his daddy’s 100,000-acre farm. And, the Massai are as convinced of his guilt as blacks in L.A. were of the guilt of those offices who were acquitted after the world saw them on tape beating Rodney King to near death.
Therefore, Maasai elders – who once encouraged deference to the aristocratic prerogatives of white colonialists – have now vowed to lead their fellow warriors in attacks on the Cholmondeley farm (and others) to exact Mugabe-style retribution for this murder and so many other racial injustices.
Peaceful Maasai: Now anxious to reclaim their honour as warriors and their land as native Africans!

Welcome Mr Forbes
I appreciate your sentiment. And, I am acutely aware that the colonial prerogatives and presumptions that finally provoked the Maasai into rebellion are very similar to those that are causing seething resentment amongst many of our brothers and sisters in the TCI.
Nevertheless, in due course, I shall be looking for your comments as I address peaceful and constructive ways in which we can resolve our differences with the expatriate community in the TCI without resorting to threats of violence.
In the meantime, please invite as many native and expatriate TCIslanders as you can to visit this site so that we have as many dedicated readers to participate in our future discussions on matters that affect our shared interest in the sustainable development of the TCI.
(Of course, I hope you and they will be sufficiently interested to read all of my articles)
God bless.
