The eruption of violence in Kenya has been a powder keg smoldering that has now exploded. When one looks through the history of this nation and the pseudo-hand over of power to the ‘locals’ by the then British colonial government, the existing situation is that the country is still majority owned and ‘controlled’ by external parties.

This may not mean much to most, but when you consider the extent of violence occurring right now – the deaths and destruction – to a seemingly peaceful country, it makes no sense in a ‘democracy.’ Pull back the curtain and look at how the majority of people have been made to live. Look at the extent of slums around the cities.

Without getting into the debate over who should win or not – that is another discussion and many are focused on that – the cause of this sudden violence is not a short term upset with a president who rigged the election. No, it is a long term suppression of a majority of a population by a minority and the resultant anger erupting from the view that to live another four years under the same conditions may be considered to be worse than death.

Fine, we can all debate the circumstances, we can discuss what should or should happen or not happen. But at the end of the line, we are talking about the lives of people. People who are at risk now of starvation, disease and need shelter.

There is going to be a need for massive humanitarian relief fairly soon. My appeal is for people to get onto such organisations as the Red Cross, UN Humanitarian groups, Scientology Volunteer Ministers, The Way to Happiness Foundation and other international humanitarian organisations that specialise in disaster handling.

If you have some ideas for help, please do comment. If you want to get directly involved and don’t know how, do the same.

Kenya is part of our world, we are equally responsible for these people as we are for the people we interact with daily.

Maybe someday we need help. We would expect it then. Lets help them now.
