Sanchez Effect | Prime Cabinet Secretary of Kenya Musalia Mudavadi

On the latest episode of ‘Sanchez Effect’ we're diving into Kenya's unexpected drama with Russia after a significant number of Kenyan soldiers signed up to fight on the frontlines, stirring up quite the controversy back home. But instead of hurling threats and insults – which seems to be the West’s go-to, Kenya’s diplomat took the high road - boarded a plane and came to talk to Russian officials. The outcome? A peaceful resolution and the Kenyans are heading back home. No hard feelings. Imagine: diplomacy actually works if you work it.

This might just be the wake-up call the West needs, as they navigate their own mess with Iran that they have started after throwing away any good-faith attempts at negotiation. And now as Trump acts all surprised at the mess he caused, he comes up with this jaw-dropper: ‘We were shocked’ that Iran targeted U.S. bases in the Middle East! Really, who saw that coming? Anyone paying attention to Iran, perhaps?

Now, the world is feeling the fallout. The Kenyan Prime Cabinet Secretary reveals that his country is already facing tough times, relying on oil, produce, and fertilisers from the Gulf region - all complicated by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. With reserves dwindling, how long can Kenya hold on? And what other ripple effects are looming? Tune in to find out, only on RT!
