I wonder...

I've been reading the papers regularly and i'm noticing a trend that is more and more disturbing.... is Kenya on the verge of ethnic cleansing? Are we even remotely aware that we are probably headed down a very dangerous path?
As a nation, we have been very fortunate; Uganda, Sudan, Somalia, Rwanda, Ethiopia and Burundi have experienced war, borne mostly from ethnic disagreements. But I fear that by being spared from the horrors that other nations have endured, and from not knowing the pain and loss that comes from war, we are beginning to take advantage of the relatively peaceful and stable environment in our nation.
Why should a person, a group, a tribe or a region feel that they are better than or that they deserve more than anyone else? This will only breed ethnic superiority, followed by hate, and unavoidably by war. But nobody wins in war. The loss and pain is felt by all and its effects reach far beyond present generations - i'm sure those other nations know this well.
We need to pray for peace, for love and for unity - not necessarily a nyayo philosophy, more of a God philosophy that has brought us a very very long way
