interesting BBC page
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7215303.stm – An interesting collection of quotes from Kenyan politicians and world leaders.
Another MP has been shot dead. Eldoret and Kisumu are erupting...the neighborhood around my office is fairly quiet today, so let's hope that's the case throughout Nairobi.
Seems like the MP was with a woman and her husband/boyfriend (who happened to be a POLICEMAN) shot them both. The bad thing is that, even if this is just a love triangle, it's still a policeman killing an MP, which is just not good. Especially now, and especially here.
Otherwise, it's a beautiful sunny day, I didn't have to pay a late fee on my library books because they lost all records that the books were late, and I'm listening to a really excellent Modest Mouse album from Cory and Nathaniel. Yep - trying to be aware of the melting down of the social fabric around me and the terrible plight of thousands of Kenyans, and yet not respond by giving up all hope on life.
