| 1640350372471382016 | @bonifacemwangi @NPSOfficial_KE @IG_NPS @IPOA_KE @wmnjoya @gathara @thekhrc Are you sure it’s the Nubian community or a militia recruited and paid by the state? A strategy aimed at people to people violence and that diminishes RAO’s claim of popular support? The state has been known for recruiting militias since the Ngorokos in the 1970s. | 215 |

| 1640476659127033857 | @gathara No government is legitimate. Nowhere in the world has the state come from the people, so that it's legitimate. It was imposed on the people and people have been progressively working to tame it. And the governments still misbehave. We need an alternative to the state. | 15 |
