Thanks a lot for the nice coverage of events that happen within the Kenyan community in Sweden. It’s equally important to highlight and condemn incidences like the primitive, criminal and barbaric behaviour of a Kenyan national and his girlfriend at Wuod Magero´s memorial service.
Wife beating or domestic violence is a crime against humanity that we can not just watch and let go. The traumatic experiences that the lady’s son went through by seeing his mother being publicly molested cannot be accepted in any civilised society.
In very strong terms, I condemn this behaviour and hope that such behaviour will not repeat itself anymore within our Kenyan-Stockholm society. Why must this lady be treated like this? Is it because she is Kenyan? Or is it because she has no stronger brothers and sisters to protect her? What a shame!
Regards

KSB NOTE:
Thanks Ken for bringing this issue to our attention. KSB crew was away from the scene at the time of the incident. Jared Odero, an Editorial Board member, has taken contact with both the man and the woman to get a picture of what happened. KSB condemns violence against women in all its forms and welcomes debate over the subject. Juliet Kavinga’s death was a product of violence against women. A few years ago, a Kenyan mother of five was beaten to death by her husband. Let us all stand up in condemnation of violence against women because the practice is unacceptable under any circumstance.
