A gang member shot a Kenyan politician yesterday. After the shooting, the assassin was killed. More than 800 people have been killed since the election in December.
I did not know how much violence was going on in Kenya. This politically charged offenses are going quite unnoticed by the rest of the world. It is crazy to think of how many people die that don't get put in the New York Times or the BBC reports. This politically related killing shows some of the harsh bloodshed that is still going on.
It makes me scared to think of people who want to do humanitarian aid and amnesty being attacked in the country. It's just another example of colonizing turning into prejudices which come back to haunt tourists in later years. We should watch out international actions more carefully.
