EXCLUSIVE: Rick sits down for a one-on-one with Prime Cabinet Secretary of Kenya Musalia Mudavadi

On the latest episode of ‘Sanchez Effect’ we dive 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 top diplomat took the high road and 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 use it.

This might just be the wake-up call the West needs, as it navigates its own mess with Iran that it started after throwing away good-faith attempts at negotiations. 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 US bases in the Middle East! Really, who saw that coming? Anyone paying attention to Iran, perhaps?

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