I have sent mine and taken the trouble to paste a template here, comrades use this. @C_NyaKundiH @FGaitho237 @OkiyaOmtatah @bonifacemwangi @BillyMwangi_1 @Kibet_bull @AokoOtieno_ Subject: Urgent Request to Reconsider State Visit to Nairobi Dear [Relevant Official's Name], I am writing to you as a concerned citizen of Kenya, representing the voice of the youth, who constitute over 35 million of our 55 million population. We are deeply opposed to the upcoming state visit by officials from the Netherlands to Nairobi. Our current government, led by President William Ruto, has engaged in actions that we cannot condone. This administration has imposed heavy taxes, allowed the murder and maiming of protestors, and conducted abductions, fostering an environment of fear and oppression. The visit from your government would be perceived as an endorsement of these actions, providing PR and political support to a regime we view as corrupt and illegitimate. President Ruto has a history of serious allegations, including crimes against humanity, from which he was acquitted under highly suspicious circumstances, involving the silencing of witnesses. Such actions are not conducive to a leader deserving of international recognition or support. Furthermore, we must address the historical context of the Netherlands in Africa. The Dutch, from whom the Netherlands descends, have a dark legacy in South Africa, marked by atrocities during the colonial era. The name changes from Dutch to Netherlands or Holland do not erase this history of bloodshed and the dehumanization of Africans. In the context of international justice, the role of the Netherlands in the ICC has often been scrutinized, with questions about the sincerity and impartiality of prosecutions. This state visit, if it goes ahead, could be seen as continuing this pattern of endorsing leaders with questionable human rights records, reminiscent of the support given to apartheid regimes in the past, which Ruto himself has ties to, having supported such systems under President Moi. We, the Kenyan youth, hold significant power in our country's future, and we will remember how the Netherlands positions itself in this matter. An official visit to Nairobi at this time would be interpreted as aligning with a regime we consider to be psychopathic and detrimental to our democratic values. I urge the Netherlands to reconsider this state visit, to take a stand for human rights, and to correct past mistakes rather than repeat them. If the visit proceeds, it will not only endorse a corrupt administration but also tarnish the image of the Netherlands in the eyes of Kenyans everywhere. We will not forget, and our future interactions, both in Kenya and globally, will reflect your decision. Please choose the path of integrity and reconsider your planned engagement. Sincerely, Your name.
