Kenyan-American visiting Kenya

This message is from a Kenyan living in the US, but visiting Kenya at the time of the election.

There is the ugly side and of course that's probably all you guys are hearing about in the media. But there's good too. Kenyans are showing their support by making huge donations of food and clothing to help the thousands of displaced people. So there's hope, we haven't completely lost the plot. And today, people went to work and for the most part ignored the call for the opposition rally. Not because they support Kibaki or oppose Raila but simply because they want their lives back and they refused to be used as pawns in whatever political game our so-called leaders are playing. That's been the high point of my day today.
