'Runaway Republic: Tyranny Exposed & Call for a Truce' is a tribute to the victims of Kenya's Post Election Violence in 2007/2008 and those who champion their cause to ensure that their memory lives on. It provides a fair and balanced review of the brazen deceit, demagoguery, violence and thuggery that have dominated Kenyan politics far too long and needlessly caused senseless losses of thousands of innocent human lives. The events and issues underlying the Post Election Violence, i.e. unbridled quest for power by any means necessary, are all too common in Africa and often go underreported. This text seeks to stop that. It also exposes, by name and deed those behind the atrocities, the dark side of politics, the excesses of power, and the attempts of world powers, through global resource deployment, to mitigate damages. Did the violence provide The International Criminal Court, The United Nations, The United States and Europe a strong enough reason to solve some of Kenya's perennial problems for the last time or an incentive to reconstitute and install a new regime in a new neocolonial era? Did Kenya's failure to right itself amount to forfeiture of her sovereignty all together? Will the international community truly serve justice or manipulate it? As Kenya inches toward a critical historical turning point, the options are limited while the dilemma widens, for Kenya and Africa as a whole. There are no easy answers to these questions. However, if this text helps prevent or stop one more death, rape, maiming and destruction of property for any reason at all, it would have served its purpose.
