Stand up for your rights! Kenya ...ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Stand up for your rights! Kenya has signed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and especially the article 25: "Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control."<BR/>This famine had been foreseen and Kenya will face more and more droughts in the coming years that will lead to an increasing death toll due to a lack of good governance. <BR/>Every day we are producing worldwide enough food to feed 12 billions people; we are 6 billions human beings: each man, woman and child dying from hunger or starving is a MURDER and a crime against humanity.<BR/>Kenya has enough resources to ensure the food security and food sovereignty of its people but it requires a politial will as well as an unfailing committment to develop pro-poor policies and monitor their implementation.<BR/>Without a huge mobilisation of Kenyans (grassroots and civil society) and its supporters with mass actions and individual sponsorship of a suffering/starving Kenyan, things will remain the way they are. <BR/>What has to be done and largely disseminated is how can any individual or group/network/CSO/CBO/FBO contribute to literally saving lives right now through a number of immediate actions:<BR/>- make a donation to provide food in the short term and supporting the right actors for a sustainable agricultural production<BR/>- provide in-kind donation<BR/>- refuse to keep silent (sign petition, demonstrate, join activist groups, write to the Government/MPs, talk to media, mobilise foreigners...)<BR/>- advocate for 10 millions people and maybe more<BR/>- educate your children and let them know what's happening and the real causes<BR/>- go and talk to these people and listen to what they have to say<BR/>- organise visits to the most remote places of Kenya involving media and sending strong messages to the Governement<BR/>- wear and use t-shirts, bracelets, screnn savers, online banners, stickers...saying KENYANS ARE STARVING LET'S DEFEND OUR RIGHT TO FOOD!<BR/>- Connect to others and mobilise your neighbours, friends, colleagues...<BR/>- think and resist, tomorrow it could you or me starving think about what you would like others to do then...!<BR/>TOGETHER YES WE CAN!<BR/>CarolineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
