[AfrICANN-discuss] ICANN Nairobi meeting faces security hoops, double standards

[Dr Yassin Mshana]

Hi there,

Let me say this: There is no measure for security or insecurity in any
city/town. Streetwise and confidence matters a great deal everywhere one
goes!

The Media is very powerful when it comes to instil confidence or otherwise.
There is general belief (I do) that independent journalists like RW inform
us the "Truth".

There were very few cities which were relatively secure than other - the
morality or rather moral values in the societies make the difference when it
comes to security.

Hodi! hodi! Nairobi .....!!!

Yassin
