It would have been better if South African leader Nelson Mandela had not stopped in Nairobi, Kenya on his way back from the U.S. Unfortunately he did and, at a rally on July 13, 1990, in the stadium named for Kenyan President Daniel Arap Moi, Mandela declared that the whites have no right anywhere, to teach them about democracy when they executed those who asked for democracy during the time of the colonial era. This provided comfort to Moi, who blames Western governments for trying to impose their system on his East African country. Moi has been President of Kenya since 1978.
