  I was conflicted on whether to respond to this headline or ignore it...but the rising suicide rate amongst young doctors (mostly medical officers) is a concern... but why the Medical Officers? who are Medical Officers? Medical Officers are people who have studied Medicine as an undergrad degree at the university, the degree is abbreviated as MBChB or MBBS or MD. In Kenya it is MBChB. This degree is a 'prestigious' course not for academically average Joes, it is for the top cream in academics the A and A- students.

What is Education Education is a total process by which human abilities and behaviors are developed (Ndaloh et al, 2009). This is done through imparting appropriate knowledge, skills, and attitudes in the learners to enable their awareness, appreciation and preservation of their cultural heritage and also their creativity in modifying and even shaping this culture for their benefit and that of their society (Mwaka et al., 2013). What is The Purpose of Education? The purpose of education is the creation of a compassionate and creative student who will help develop and sustain a just society where all individuals are able to live happy, fulfilled lives — as free from pain and suffering as possible (Roberts 2020).

  LESSONS FOR KENYA FROM THE ETHIOPIAN WAR: Ethiopia is crumbling before our very eyes, the reason are spillovers from historical injustices since the days of the ethiopian emperor Menelik II in the 1880s he Amharanized the country which as an idea that many non-Amhara tribes didn't like, infact he forcibly took Oromo land and gave it to the Amhara- the capital of Ethiopia sits on Oromo land. The autocratic Emperor Haile Selassie made things worse with his ineptitude and support for slavery and feudalism by his ''shum shir'' policy in the 1970s which demanded hefty taxes from peasants, infact in 1943, 1963 and 1970 the Tigreans, the Somali and Oromo/Borana took up arms against Haile Sellasie to resist the exploitative and dehumanizing ''shum shir'' policy.
