Maybe it is just me but I'm just not comfortable watching the news. It is painful to see the destruction that tearing years of investment in Kenya. Every time I get home and turn on the TV I'm just hoping there would be some positive breaking news.
I guess it is the cost of being far from home and not sure what actually is going on - the Internet has some information but how much can you trust individuals narrating their stories 'objectively' (Can one really be objective when (s)he feels like the aggrieved party?). I thought this would just go away after some time you know like the nasty flu I had but I'm just plain naive.
My went to see my uncle over the weekend and travelled back to Nairobi on Sunday - I wish I could express the anxiety and fear that gripped me when I knew she had made the trip. I think there is still some ban hanging on news transmission within the country so maybe they do not see what I'm seeing here.
Look at the economic mess - I'm suspicious the protagonists do not live in Kenya and for that matter do not have access to international media.... it is simply outrageous!
I wish I could offer solutions but for starters i think people should first shut up and whoever is in charge DO SOMETHING!.
To create a future, you first must be able to imagine it. I realise that as other beings I am far more skilled at following old patterns than at thinking new thoughts.
