N.B.: Please know before you watch
these pictures that they reflect the 100% truth in some of the
areas in Kenya, where horrible situations evolved after the havoc
created by unwise politicians and their easily influenced
entourage over a longer time than just this post-election period,
but that the combined picture of all these quiet expressive and
explicit photos or videos (rating: over 18 years), does not
reflect the general situation in the whole of Kenya. It is luckily
still so that around 80 % of the country is not, repeat NOT,
seriously affected by the disaster and destruction you see in
these pictures. Most areas in Kenya are still intact and extremely
beautiful, though the minds and the daily life of all Kenyans are
seriously affected by what happened. Thereby these pictures also
should serve as a warning not to let any further expansion of the
mayhem and destruction happen. Everyone can and must be part of
making that difference!

Kids in Kibera have a new game.
They have fashioned their own cameras out of mud, baked hard
in the sun, and run around “filming” the mob of journalists
that gathers on a hill overlooking their slum each day.
