Apparently it is getting worse in Kenya instead of better - completely negating my hopeful message of yesterday...
From the New Vision

A Ugandan was injured by machete-wielding gangs on Sunday night, while another was feared dead in Burnt Forest, a town 40 kilometers outside Eldoret. At least six newly imported vehicles enroute to Uganda were also burnt by youth who had blocked the highway...."
..."In Eldoret. all the major roads leading out of the town had reportedly been blocked by protesters. Fuel tankers on the way to Uganda were said to be stranded in Eldoret town. Violence was also reported in Cheprit, where mobs chanted they would stop vehicles transporting goods to Uganda. In another incident 20 Ugandan trucks came driving at breakneck speed to the Kenyan border town of Busia after escaping an attempted robbery at a roadblock in Bumala 10 kms inside Kenya."

Angie I think about you every time I see another article about what's going on in Kenya. I am confident that you can take care of yourself but I want to say keep safe anyways.
Stephanie Nolen wrote a great article about the situation in the Globe on Saturday: (http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20080125.wriftvalley0126/BNStory/specialComment)
It's so tough to know what to think in these situations but I hope for Kenya, East Africa and the entire continent (actually, all of us really!) that this comes to a peaceful end sooner rather than later.
