This sort of thing will end in making South Africa's apartheid seem preferable if they go on like this. At least the English speakers didn't burn down Afrikaners' homes either.

In that they do their homework and put more effort from the beginning with the children, and in the family. Instead of fighting amongst themselves, to which is the only religion. Less of what people should do before marriage, and more about loving your neighbours, care and respect for people of other religions and ways of life. No one in this world has the right to say my religion is the only one. It is known that folks praying to stones, but keeping to the laws of their beliefs, got on very well with neighbours. and had a stable society. If the churches stop wrangling, that would be a start. Greetings John in Germany Hi John in Salem.

As a Sudanese who has been a resident in Kenya for 15 years in refugee, I feel so much touched and affected as individual who have had an experiences in Sudan and have now lost Kenyan friends by this ethnic war leaving alone the effect on the regional economy by this war. Kenyan population should also learnt that, politicians are the cause of wars in Africa and infact the World at large and should practices who co-exist as citizens of the country. My question is, Can a country not live without politicians? Creating another Magadisho in Kenya is not an exception, Kibaki should step down to pave way for negotiation and stop the unrest in the country. Kenya is suffering and the region is suffering. please give us the peace that have prevailed in Kenya for many years and now destroyed in one month. the 5 years credibility the government had since they took over was of a great value but this lost just in a month when elections were disputed and added over by the mass ethnic cleansing. African are also quiet, what is it that makes Union of the Africa? must you seek western interventions to solve your problems in Africa? get your axes and bring in a collective African police to restore law and order in Kenya. the Kenyan police has become part of the problem so, they are not anymore trusted to maintain security in Kenya specially when a police officer shot to death a lawmaker.

Responsible, intelligent leaders understand the necessity of taking into account and acting in one way or another to prevent the quite natural resentment of poor people who feel they may never have an opportunity to achieve a bit of economic success. I read once that the powers that control a people or a nation have two choices: to quell the resentment and anger brutally with police, armies, etc., or to attempt to achieve a reasonable distribution of wealth through institutional reform and the creation of opportunities to achieve that bit of economic success. I wonder if Kenya's leaders have given those issues any thought or if it is just business as usual and getting on with the power struggles and getting as wealthy as possible while doing so.
