Kenya: relative calm, at the moment

The rally planned for today has been postponed.

But fuel and food are still not making their way to most of Kenya. Kibaki and Raila won't talk to each other. The economy is not helped by the effects of all the deaths. Tourism is the biggest foreign exchange earner for Kenya, and tourists won't be flocking in - for a while now.

Great editorial here.

Photo? Unrelated, but it was a quick way for me to illustrate peace. (Sleep is supposed to be a time of rest - for most people.)

Paul, as I have heard the news from Kenya, I keep thinking of seeking your perspective. Thank you for talking about this.
