Farai Sevenzo made my day with this term, his article seems to trace my thoughts today, I have been thinking about home-Kenya, and about Africa the last few days, wondering how a continent filled with such beautiful, kind and hospitable people can be defined by so much anger. How does that anger result to such brutality towards neighbors. I am plagued by images i saw of Kenya during the election aftermath war had always been far away for me- relatively anyway. It was in DR Congo, in Somalia, in Rwanda places i had never been but all of a sudden it was in Kenya, in Nairobi, on kiambu road, in ridgeways. It was in my home on the road i traveled to and from the city center it could touch those i loved, it could kill them.
That continues to scare me more than anything else i face any obstacle i come across that i have to overcome.
