At the same time a similar rally will be held at the Kenya Embassy in Ottawa, Canada (415 Laurier St. West, Ottawa, ON Canada). The demonstrations will be held to commemorate the Wagalla Massacre that happened in Wagalla Village, Wajir District, North Eastern Kenya on the same date in 1984. Similar demonstrations have been held at different locations all over the world since the massacre occurred, all aimed at keeping the pressure on the Kenya Government to respect basic human rights and the dignity of the Kenya Somalis living in the North East as well as for all Kenyan citizens. The Government has a past and present history of perpetrating injustice, unfair and unequal treatment and negligence when it comes to issues regarding the people of the North Eastern province. In many cases the government has been guilty of previous massacres and genocidal policies. In the case of Wagalla, the government has recently admitted at least in principle that its security forces were responsible for the atrocities and that it was an operation that had gone out of control. In this case, we demand a full investigation that is aimed at bringing to court those who were responsible for this massacre and compensation for the thousands of families who became destitute as a result of the massacre. Please consider joining us in peacefully standing for justice and what is right. For Details Contact Mr. Abdi Omar: @ (613) 521-9228 Or Ugas Jillaow @214-869-3080

| | Wednesday, February 07, 2001 - 04:53 am And guess who is the Kenyan Ambassador? Another tailless monkey from Nakuru, Muranga or somewhere in the jungle of Kenya, what does this monkey know about human rights or demonstration? He will just laugh thinking that this is funny and is making him important. The only reasoning they understand is if you kick them in the butt.
