While in my room looking over Geography notes for an upcoming test, I decided to write a blog about an event that has been taking place in Nairobi, Kenya and still to this day it has taken many lifes. In case you are not up to date with what is happening across the world, you might find this piece of information quite interesting. If you are in Professor Doc's Geography class you know what I am talking about.
Since December 27th, these two faces of Kenya have been on a collision course since Kenya's elections. The Kikuyu and the Luo tribe. With President Mwai Kibaki, a Kikuyu, elected to serve another five-year term, opposition leader Raila Odinga accused Kibaki of rigging the election. Since then there has been over 800 deaths and counting due to the Kikuyu tribe that has power and will not share it with the Luo tribe. Many Luo people like Cliff Owino, live in tin shacks that lean over a river of sewage and almost every morning has a corpse with machete wounds wash up near the alley. The main purpose for these actions is because of President Mwai Kibaki letting the gap between rich and poor widen substantially. Many Luo construction workers work day-in and day-out occasionally making $6 a day. So do you think there will ever be peace between these two tribes, or the world?
