"We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, with so little, for so long, we are now qualified to do anything, with nothing" By Konstantin Josef Jireček, a Czech historian, diplomat and slavist.
While many kenyans wish the new South Sudan nation well…they want to know why the South Sudan did not create their own independent flag design but instead decided to steal the kenyan flag.
The South Sudanese have oil and gold, but what does kenya have? we have the kenyan flag. The flag is a symbol of the blood, toil and sacrifice that led to Uhuru.
The flag is also a symbol of kenyan success in many fields especially in athletics. everytime a kenyan wins a gold medal and hoists the flag he is advertising the nation to the world. kenyans have won athletic games so many times that the kenyan flag has become synonymous with athletic success.
Due to the hard work and sacrifice of many kenyans, the kenyan flag has become our most important trademark…recognised all over the world. no wonder that the s. sudanese have stolen it.
