US President Joe Biden designated Kenya as a “major non-NATO ally” on Monday, making it the first sub-Saharan African nation to receive the designation.
The move comes as Washington seeks to push back against growing Russian and Chinese influence in the region.
Biden then pointed to Nairobi’s assistance with the US’s national security priorities, including efforts to defeat the Daesh/ISIS terror group as well as al-Shabab in East Africa, what Biden described as “mutual support” for Ukraine and ongoing efforts to deploy a Kenyan security force in the instability-wracked Caribbean island nation of Haiti.
“You killed a few protestors, NICE”
I first read this title as “Biden designates Kanye as ‘major non-NATO ally’”
Hahahahahhahahaahhahahahahahhahahahahahhahaha…
I honestly hope Kenya, during its social upheaval, gets a coup or revolution, while its overseas forces are still ‘peacekeeping’ in Haiti…
Jomo Kenyatta is rolling in his grave…
Nah, the guy’s made a comprador state out of Kenya, despite his past communist and national-liberation activism… maybe he’s actually smiling
The move comes as Washington seeks to push back against growing Russian and Chinese influence in the region.
I wonder if Kenya will receive aid comparable to what China is doling out at the moment…
Last I checked Biden was out of stock on hospitals, schools and water purifiers. But they do have a buy-one-get-a-dozen-free deal on military bases and occupying armies.
