Yet another post that has little to do with Maine....
The situation in Kenya continues to deteriorate. Escalating violence has consumed the Rift Valley Region for the last few days.
The Vigilante Journalist is keeping close tabs on the situation.
Ushahidi is tracking the incidents in a graphical format.
For newer readers, my interest and concern about this situation comes from a personal interest. We safaried in East Africa in 2001 (pre-September 11) and I fell in love with the land, and the people.
The Kenyan people are some of the most joyful, giving people I've known, often in the face of severe poverty and many hardships. For the people we met to be causing or to be a victim of this violence is unimaginable, but then hopelessness forces so many to do the unthinkable.
