Increasing violence in Kenya
i'm sure many of you are hearing about the continued violence in Kenya. i just visited the website of my old school in Kenya, Hillcrest, and someone mentioned increased future hardships for the people. because of all the violence disrupting lives and because of the lack of rain, the cost of living is increasing. it sounds like the people of Kenya are going to have a hard time of it for a long time. the economy is doing poorly since there are no tourists coming into the country. it is really sad to hear. and it's always the poor people that get hit the hardest.

I was wondering what you thought of the situation in Kenya. It is so sad.
it is very sad, but also very complicated. i think that's why it is hard for me to discuss it because in some ways, this was something waiting to happen. i've been reading up lately on the recent history of Kenya, mainly post-independence, and the political/tribal divide has always been there. the saddest part is that so many people are now using this opportunity to do random acts of violence and selfish gain.
