Aiii Pole sana ndugu! To have to . leave your homeland, fight for wazungu, halafu ukigonjeka wanakuacha pekee in PTSD and even after death no one found him for 3 days. Jameni..what is this?? That social case worker should be fired, his psychiatrist sued and that home care shut down.
Young Kenyans dont go enlist for the army as a foot soldier. Mutawekwa mbele na risasi, if you are injured, you left hanging solo. I have a neighbor from Africa, jamaa has seen things most people dont even see in movies. Wenyeji get better perks mwisho ya vita. Wewe you will be lucky if you come out intact.
May God rest his soul in eternal peace. You did your best while u were on earth.
