Odinga: I Stand For The Oppressed!

Kenyan opposition leader Raila Odinga has torn into President Ruto over the latter’s failure to condemn Israel. Speaking at a prayer service in Kajiado, Odinga said the mass civilian death and destruction inflicted on Gaza by Tel Aviv should be condemned by all humanity - adding that it’s the only way to bring about peace.

While Ruto unequivocally condemned attacks by Hamas carried out in southern Israel, he's remained tight-lipped during Tel Aviv’s brutal bombing campaign in Gaza, which has killed more than 5,100 Palestinian civilians - including over 2,000 children.

His stance triggered an avalanche of criticism. While some objected to his pro-Israel position, others said Kenya shouldn’t take sides. But many share Odinga’s sentiment.

Do you agree with Odinga?
