How often does Kenya receive emergency relief from USA? What is the present emergency?

The emergency is Obama's cousin tried to steal their election and is now PM.

LAUGH OF THE DAY
Somali pirate activity is at least partly, a reaction to illegal dumping of toxic waste and illegal fishing on the Somali coast by industrialized nations. Other countries have taken advantage of the instability in this country for years by dumping illegal toxins into the water causing respiratory infections, mouthbleeds, chemical skin reactions and abdominal hemmorage to nearby residents. This country, one of the poorest in the world is ill-equipped to defend itself against such actions and, while this does not justify piracy, it illustrates that this issue is more complex than can be attributed to selfish, thug criminals. As our world is increasingly interconnected through globalization, it will be more and more difficult for developed nations to be unaffected by the poverty of instable, corrupt and impoverished nations such as Somalia.

I'm aware that its going to his cousin. I want to know all the details about this shipment. I also wonder if bark turned white when this ship was hijacked. "oops! I've been exposed" type thought.

Darn, if we had known a ship was going to Kenya, the Boston aunt should have been on it - special cargo. I'm sure she could have been given a free ride. The pirates would have ignored this ship.
