S Sudan must shun Kenya’s sickening habits

About three days have passed since South Sudan nationals drunk wine, gave each other high-fives, danced, shed tears, and shouted themselves horse as they marked their country’s first birthday.

It is nice to add a year to one’s life, and it is even nicer if the birthday guarantees more freedom and rights. To Kenya, South Sudan having added a year to its age is a great milestone. This is a baby Kenya ‘sired’ and seeing it crawl and attempt to utter the word mama or papa brings a lot of joy. But children are known to ape many things from their parents. They will imitate what their parents say and do, whether it is good or bad.
