Healing Kenya's Wounds

"I am very sad of what happened 8 months ago. That was not the real Kenya that I had known for the past many years. I have to say that there is healing but at a very slow rate. If you look at the government there is still tribalism despite the fact that we are working together. Bitterness is still there and the sad thing is that these things also exist in the church. We should definitely continue praying for our country that such a thing will never appear again and that we will have peace."
"The healing process has been a hard nut to crack since the community that I am in right now was one of the most hit tribes in the post-election crisis. When one goes to the Kalenjin land they are asked to identify his or her tribe. The most severe incident which so far we have experienced was some of the tribes were not allowed to marry some ladies in our community. It has been hard though we are still praying for total reconciliation in the entire country so that the communities will stay together as one again."
"Even though we have peace at the moment we are not sure if the incident will once again re-occur. Although I am praying that what I saw in Kenya will not to happen again it is an incident that I will not forget since I was one of the victims that was forced to move out of a certain area and I lost about everything that I had in the fracas.
