Why Climb a Mountain like Everest


Mountaineers/Qoura

I have watched with horror the news of deaths at
Mountain Everest. My love and sympathies to the families

The soul of humanity is made of love alone.
We all lift our eyes to the mountains every so often.
Thank you for Mountains

A Look at opposition Politics in East Africa

The beauty of democracy surely lies in vibrant opposition politics! No running away from this open secret. opposition is an integral part in the running of public affairs within a democracy. Opposition represents alternative government or a government in waiting. To prove their mettle, such a party must always project counter policies as well valuable criticism to the government of the day. So what dulls so much the politics of East Africa? The killing of opposition in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. The year 2017 was of great political turmoil in Kenya.
