On Jan 22, I posted a letter to the Kenyan people on my PeacePundit blog. It argued for a cessation of violence. It didn’t do much good, but for those who are interested, here’s the link:

I’m hoping to organize some fundraising on my university campus here in US for relief work in Kenya. Can anyone refer me to a group that is trustworthy, i.e., that isn’t funnelling monies to someone’s pocket, or worse? How is the Kenya Red Cross?

I gather that a large number of very wealthy Kenyans have recently booked into this hotel inDar es Salaam - http://www.hotelwhitesands.com/

It’s difficult for me to express exactly how much that thought sickens me.

I hear you Andrew, of late I am lost for words, I peek at BBC or CNN as they bring the news about Kenya for a second and then it is gone, It was sad to read about the two germans killed in Diani beach, there goes our steady income from tourism. However there is still hope at the end of the day the truth shall come out through God Almighty, how about a minute of silence for all those fallen heroes who have gone within the last month, prayers to those children, women whose innocence and dignity have been stripped from them forever, when all is done and said there is going to be spread of diseases, Hep C, A, B venerial, HIV AIDS, TB, Lord have mercy, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here in Ireland coverage of what is happening in Kenya is often not on the front page -usually page 9 or 10 and even then not a lot.Are people becoming de-sensitised to stories of many killings?Other more ‘news worthy’ stories are put on front page.

Dear Kenyan sisters and brothers,
I want to express my profound respect, gratitude and pride for what what you are doing out there to stop the madness that has seized our beautiful country, instigated by greed for power.
I know you will make the violent mobs listen to your reasonable voices, and stop killing each other. We are, after all, just pawns in a game that we may or may not understand too well.
Thank you for what you are doing. Bravo!

Ory,

At least there is some good news amidst the bad. My $64M question is where the country leadership is …It is absolutely unacceptable that in the last one month Kibaki has come out to address the masses …..ONCE – and he showed how overwhelmed he was. The man is not equal to the task and history will put the responsibility squarely at his feet. He and his ilk may not care much about history but we will never forget and it is my hope that we will learn from it as we try putting pieces back together.

In the meantime there’s a propaganda war to be won let’s all do our parts in dispelling the misinformation. It’s true that lies may travel around the world before truth puts on the shoes but I strongly believe that truth will always triumph punctuality not withstanding
