Jerome Corsi arrested by Barack Obama’s Cousin in Kenya
By: D. H. Williams @ 4:06 PM - EST
Jerome Corsi author of The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality was arrested and detained in Nairobi, Kenya. A country run by Raila Odinga a man who claims to be a cousin of Democratic Presidential Nominee Barack Obama.
Corsi was grabbed by Odinga thugs as he entered a room to give a press conference about his book and to discuss his visit to Kenya. Corsi was then driven off to an undisclosed location and held for several hours on either an immigration violation or failure to obtain a work permit, official accounts vary.
Corsi’s publicist refutes the validity of the charges saying “His papers were found to be in order. His passport was fine, his visa was fine, … but the government did not want him to launch his book on Kenyan soil. That’s why he has been deported.”
An invitation to the book launch said the event would expose Obama’s “deep secret ties” to mafia-like groups in Kenya.
Barack Obama has previously stated his support for Raila Odinga when he was an opposition leader to the former Kenyan government. Barack campaigned for Odinga in 2006, unfortunately transcripts of Obama’s speeches are not available.
Odinga loses election and the violence begins
Both Obama and Odinga are from the Luo, a Muslim tribe in Kenya who are involved in a clashes with other tribes.
A month after Odinga lost the election for Prime Minister to Mwai Kibaki in December of 2007 a group of ethnic militia sympathetic to Odinga burnt down a Christian church of Kikuyu tribesman murdering 50 people.
Children were burnt alive in broad daylight, family members stood by as the flames and screams of the dying engulfed the church.
“What I saw was unimaginable and indescribable,” said the director of the Kenyan Red Cross, Abbas Gullet, after visiting several of the worst hit areas of western Kenya. “This is a national disaster.”
Engulfed by 2000 raiders loyal to opposition leader Odinga, George Karanja an uncle to one of the dead says, “They started burning the church. The mattresses that people were sleeping on caught fire. There was a stampede, and people fell on one another.”
Mr Karanja said he helped pull out at least 10 people, but “I could not manage to pull out my sister’s son. He was screaming ‘uncle, uncle’… He died.”
“They hacked my father. He is a 90-year-old man. My sister is a widow.” He said the attackers had seen him saving people and began stoning him. He managed to hide by submerging himself in a pit latrine.
On April 17, 2008 Raila Odinga was sworn in as the Kenya’s Prime Minister to end the deadly violence.
More than 1,000 people were killed and 300,000 displaced following the December elections that both Odinga and President Mwai Kibaki claimed to win.
