If I ever go to China, I will absolutely, absolutely stick to vegetarian dishes.

That was really a fantastic documentary. The people featured (especially that Brit who kept swearing) are really risk takers. I had to google that guy (vince walker) -- Apparently, prior to moving to China, he used to smuggle diamonds from Sierra Leone! until he got into trouble with a war lord and got shot in the arm and had to run away.

Say the Truth and It will set us free.. Personally i don't think tribalism is a disease... I think the problem is much deeper than this... The powers that be would like you to think tribalism is the problem... They like the people to think that they can't reason... Every politician in Kenya spreads this troll and the people consume the troll and are ready to kill their neighbor who is not the problem that they face... Its a very unfortunate position we find ourselves in.... Obviously every body know what is going to happen to Kenya.... For there to be a meaningful social change.... The truth is the people are the best placed group to initiate this change..... History has taught us... even the most rigid of minds will change .. Even the ones that think Tribe is cause of our problems... they'll change... Trust me Brothers They will..

Look at triton-KPC... we have devani, okungu, murungi, mecha and I betcha the entire spectrum is covered! We need a Obama-like guy/gal who is driven by good... In the 1960s we had Joseph Murumbi as VP who was a Indian-Maasai... and from what I have read, a nice, clean chap... Of course, he did not last long in crooked wa ngengi's government... Murumbi actually resigned from gov't to protest the crookedness... A pity crooked wa ngengi did not kick the bucket much sooner coz we might be closer to Singapore than Zimbabwe if Murumbi had become president.

These people are not working for the greater good of the country. They are maneuvering for power and it's going to get messy because someone has to win and someone has to lose. Raila himself has finally realized that he has no real power. Why do you think he's complaining about Muthaura? And yes, it is tribal because Kenya IS tribal. Perhaps people need to take the situation as it is, as opposed to what they hope it will become.
