Kenya must dump Gaddafi and recognise Libyan rebels

By Donald B Kipkorir

The dictatorial reign of Muammar Gaddafi and his family is reaching the endgame. The denouement is nigh; its closing chapter is open-ended. But Gaddafi can still decide how he wants to exit, though he has two choices only. He can surrender in ignominy and humiliation or he fights to the death. Time is no longer on his side. The vast wealth of his country, which he had confused with family property, can no longer assist him. Bribing African presidents, prime ministers and tribal potentates is now meaningless. The African leaders in shame cannot call for his ouster, but they cannot stop the crashing end.
