We are The Minority

Is just one of the stories that is trending currently in the country. Unsatisfactory voices have awaken from their slumber and are now busy lamenting to the government for all historical injustices that had previously been castigated upon their communities. Looking at the given reasons, is a real reflection of many sidelined communities of people across the board. In Afghanistan citizens are under oppression. Sounds of gunshots is a common fixture destroying the peace of thousands and practically affecting the education system of the children.

In our own backyard, small communities in the name of Endorois and Illchamus communities have cried for justice for so long. They claim their resources are not benefiting them but rather encroachment from other majority communities are the one having a pie while the official owns in the name of Illchamus of Baringo county are crying foul. The cry of the minority is loud in this country yet little is being done to counter their genuine reasons in the bid to get a reprieve from historical imbalances and injustices .

Bemoaning voices from the borders of our country are well laid bear yet the concerned are acting deaf and unperturbed by the grievances raised. Among the many minority groups that have ever come forward, never before have they been more energetic and outspoken as the Mombasa Republican Council. They have come forward with their message well laid out that they cannot take it anymore of the pain and oppression of being sidelined for almost fifty years and are now demanding to separate themselves from the rest of the country.

Whether someone will listen to their voice or it will remain Luke warm as earlier is a discussion for another season. All we want to see is justice in the lives of all human beings. Inhuman treatments have been well manicured in our societies both in the past and now. We believe that it is high time every raised grievance was looked into keenly and oppression for the minority solved.
