According to Kimanzi Nicholas of RT, Washington is using President William Ruto to advance its goals in Africa.
According to political analyst and researcher Kimanzi Nicholas, the West is using Kenyan President William Ruto to advance its agenda as part of efforts to maintain power in several African countries.
Nicholas asserts that among African presidents, Ruto is “the easiest to use and approach”; as a result, the US is aiming to give him “even more influence in the region.”
The expert asserted that the US-Kenya alliance is actually a part of Washington’s “selfish” strategy and that it is “a way of trying to reach the minerals… a means of getting to Sudan, where there is a lot of oil, or the main Congo territory. It is a method of attempting to contact Ethiopia, as well as Burundi, Rwanda, and even Zambia.
On Thursday, Ruto and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken met in New York during the 78th United Nations General Assembly to address the conditions in Sudan, Haiti, and East Africa.
Kenya is a “strong partner for the United States on so many issues,” including regional and international security, according to Blinken. The top US diplomat stated that Ruto’s “strong steps” to “strengthen Kenya’s democracy” and economy were “deeply valued” in Washington.

The government of US Vice President Joe Biden promised $100 million on Friday to help a proposed multinational force led by Kenya to reestablish security in the conflict-torn nation of Haiti.
Since President Jovenel Moise was assassinated in the Caribbean island in 2021, gang violence has increased dramatically. In order for the initiatives to be effective, Blinken urged other countries to contribute personnel, supplies, training, and finance.
