@kelownagurl A couple of users (early Twitter adopters) encountered such an error. Basically the API call hangs instead of returning data.

kamau , i agree with you totaly. i witnnesed the skirmishes myself , i too lost freinds to the raging anger . i cant blame them though because hey lost their homes and bussineses and there was very little i could do about that whoch i do regret . I feel the more we let our selves be engulfed in this madness the harder it will be for us to move on . i was suprised at my parent’s reaction to my kikuyu freinds ,one that i best not write down .However i resolved that i won’t be consumed in there school of thought .the crisis has taught me a lesson this is not about two ”protagonists” who have vested intrests in the tip eat in the country living in lavish houses and till well , shopping for hammers or slapping other women’s husbands, this is about me and you our differences that we should be proud of BUT also the reality that we need each other and the kind of difference we will make if we work together,the rich culture we will form in ntermarriages and more importantly the peace equaliy and justice we need to co-exist together . if we forced them to the negotiating table we can unite as together and put the differences as 42 tribes together and show them the way forward because this is about us not them.

Kamau I feel your sadness and like you I feel that the great tragedy is the new divisions that have been created. I pray this is not here to stay and the awkwardness of conversations with people of a tribal affiliation other than mine is not here to stay. We have come too far for all this. I am in the US and have always enjoyed the luzurious thought of planning a permanent return home….to a Kenya that had grown economically and become the envy of many and a Kenya that was supposed to continue to grow post elections, no matter who won the ghastly thing….lets pray this will be and God will touch our leaders and turn them away from their power hungry/thirsty stance.

Kamau,
I feel your pain and like you I feel almost helpless. Majority of my friends through high school, college and after were and still are non Luos. I still believe in the moral fabric that drew us together and that was devoid of any tribal connotations. Since the elections I have been afraid to have any meaningful communication with these friends for fear of sparking, any deep seated tribal feelings, though doubtful I have t cognisant of the possibility.
I am dismayed that neither Raila nor Kibaki have taken any substantive measures to discourage “voluntary” exodus of settler communities from their adopted homelands. Raila should chide the Luos for their inhuman treatment of Kikuyus in Nyanza as matter of principle if he truly believes in the God given rights of every Kenyan as he pupports. I spare no rod for Kibaki either.
I have a DREAM, a dream of tribeless Kenya. I believe this can be achieved in a very practical way within a generation or two. In certain developed countries govts offer citizens finacial incentives to bear children. What if, with the help of donors the govt offered financial incentives to people who married spouses from a tribe other than their own? People would be less inclined to be aggressive to another tribe if they were related to them one way or another. What if the govt offered financial support to people who invested in businesses in places other than the urban centers or their ancestral homes?
Our individual tribal cultures would be diluted perhaps even completely eroded but under the circumstances it would be a worthwhile sacrifice

Could this guy be more out of touch with reality? As reported in the standard:
http://www.eastandard.net/news/?id=1143980200

Addressing victims at Burnt Forest, Kibaki cut short his speech for about five minutes when the arson attack was brought to his attention.

“Angalia, wanachoma nyumba zetu nyuma yako… (Look! They are burning houses behind you),” the crowd shouted.

The President turned around to look at the thick smoke billowing in the sky, but appeared not to immediately realise what the crowd was beckoning him to see.

He asked, “Ni nini? Wachana na hao wachome, tutaonana nao. (What is it? Let them (arsonists) continue. We will deal with them,” he said, when he finally saw the source of the smoke.
The incident caused a temporary security scare as the heavy security personnel guarding the President were put on high alert.
Kibaki was addressing displaced families at Arnasens High School.
Earlier, clash victims shouted down the President when he told them to take their children to school next week.
“Tutawapeleka wapi? Shule zote zimechomwa (Where will we take them? Schools were all burnt),” they shouted, interrupting the President’s speech.
For the second time, the victims interrupted the President, protesting at his directive that they channel their grievances through local chiefs, claiming the chiefs were biased.
The President assured the families Government would rebuild the schools. “Since you don’t trust the chiefs, take your grievances to any Government official you trust,” he said.
