Kenyans Turn to God for End to Violence

Well, the politicians themselves are the roots of disputes. They are power-craze. With power, one can earn so much fame and money/status. One of them wants to be the real tyrant of the country. Other countries support because they too want to benefit. They also want their idealogy to be accepted by the opponents. In democracy, everyone want their voices to be heard and followed by everybody, pro and opposition. Democracy cannot create peace if everybody start to be arrogant and trying to dominate the other. No doubt, follow the majority but the minority would still feel threaten and their voices may be subdue in the majority; therefore, the ending is bloodshed.

I don't mean to say people in Kenya were solely kill coz of religion. You are probably right to say it is mainly ithnical reason.

I just think that in Kenya, even a christian does not realize that he has killed another christian of different race. Racial issue is so bad that even religion fails to unite all the races.

Amen.

A peace loving country filled with criminals and crime.
"CRIME: There is a high rate of crime in all regions of Kenya, particularly Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, and at coastal beach resorts. There are regular reports of attacks against tourists by groups of armed assailants. Pickpockets and thieves carry out "snatch and run" crimes on city streets and near crowds. Visitors have found it safer not to carry valuables, but rather to store them in hotel safety deposit boxes or safe rooms. However, there have been reports of safes being stolen from hotel rooms and hotel desk staff being forced to open safes. Walking alone or at night, especially in downtown areas, public parks, along footpaths, on beaches, and in poorly lit areas, is dangerous and discouraged.

Violent criminal attacks, including armed carjacking and home invasions/burglary, can occur at any time and in any location, and are becoming increasingly frequent, brazen, vicious, and often fatal. In early 2007, two American citizens were killed and one critically injured in two separate carjacking incidents. Nairobi averages about ten vehicle hijackings per day and Kenyan authorities have limited capacity to deter and investigate such acts. Matatus (public transportation) tend to be targeted since they carry up to 14 passengers. Although these attacks are often violent, victims are generally not injured if they do not resist. There is also a high incidence of residential break-ins and occupants should take additional security measures to protect their property. Thieves and con artists have been known to impersonate police officers, thus Americans are strongly encouraged to ask for identification if approached by individuals identifying themselves as police officials, uniformed or not.

Thieves routinely snatch jewelry and other objects from open vehicle windows while motorists are either stopped at traffic lights or in heavy traffic. Vehicle windows should be up and doors locked regardless of the time of day or weather. Thieves on matatus, buses and trains may steal valuables from inattentive passengers. Americans should guard their backpacks or hand luggage and ensure these items are not left unattended. Purchasing items from street vendors is strongly discouraged – visitors should only use reputable stores or businesses. Police checkpoints are common in Kenya and all vehicles are required to stop if directed to do so."
