| does anyone else seem to care that kenya pretty much one of the most stable countries in all of africa is turning to ? granted i care because 98% of my family lives there and our tribe is the one being attacked/burned to death in freakin churches but seems like whenever i try to talk about this craziness like an adult few seem to care or know enough to talk about the situation. kinda frustrating especially since i am able to discuss stuff like this that happens in countries that i am not personally close to and if i don't know something i try to learn something. any thoughts or comments? |

Don't know much about Kenya at all. My friend was born there and moved to Sydney when he was a kid. He's now in India with his new wifey.
What's with the burning of the churches? Religious differences between tribes? |

| I think few seem to care because most of us here have written sub Saharan Africa off by now. |

no religious differences, kikuyus apparently went there to hide from the violence which didn't seem to work because luos found them anyway. this is because a luo guy lost presidential election to a kikuyu guy. at the end of the day i think the kikuyu guy is a sketchy but whatever i wouldn't go around and kill people with machetes or burn them in a church. |

maybe it's just me but i think it is important to know a little something about what is going on now in other parts of the world. i try to read a little something about everywhere. |

Those who pay attention to world affairs likely know at least a little of what's happening, I know I did prior to this thread; however, you asked why few seem to care. Truth is, those of us in the developed world have very little interest in sub-Saharan Africa and even less hope that it will ever be able to sort out it's problems long enough to dig itself out of the horrible situation it has been wollowing in since the end of colonialism. People like yourself are the problem, identifying yourself by a tribe rather then a national or pan-national identity, trying to scratch out a menial little advantage for your tribe at the expense of everyone else. Why in God's name would we care enough to waste resources and possibly people trying to keep the peace in a place where the population seems hell-bent on killing each other just so they can be or continue to be the exploiters for a while? |

That's a good way of looking at it. There's more to the world than the little town/city that we live in. |
