Maendeleo Ya Wanaume (Mawe) chairman Nderitu Njoka is now appealing to the United Nations Security Council to prosecute the Egyptian Pharaoh and King Herod prosecuted.
Njoka says the King should be prosecuted at The Hague for the injustices perpetrated against the embattled boy child.
In his latest dossier, ‘State of the Nation Study on Violence against Men and Boys [VAMB]’ released last week, Njoka appeals to the United Nations organ to move with speed and address the matter.
Through Mawe, Njoka wants the UN Security Council to revisit the infamous Biblical scandal of King Herod and Pharaoh boys massacre, where hundreds of boys below two years were drowned and slaughtered mercilessly following a political decree.
“The UN should file a criminal case against the key suspects in The Hague and open prosecution charges against King Pharaoh and Herod posthumously in order for boys worldwide to feel a sense of justice and security on earth,” reads the report by Njoka.
All this is in reference to Exodus 1:22 which states: “Then Pharaoh gave this order to all his people: Every Hebrew boy that is born must be throw into the Nile, but let every girl live.” A decree that Pharaoh issued to slow down the then rapidly growing population of Israelites, whom he feared would topple his administration.
King Herod, too, whom Njoka wants prosecuted and punished posthumously issued a similar order, which saw hundreds of boys killed in an almost similar fashion after his attempts to single out and kill the then two years old Jesus Christ failed.
“When Herod saw that he had been outwitted (in finding and killing Christ), he was filled with rage. Sending orders, that saw all boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old killed,” states Mathew 2: 16, a biblical verse that also inspired Njoka and Mawe to seek institution of legal proceedings.
