This is an idea to gather information on what kind of communication are working in Kenya during this crisis.

Latest blog posts on Kenya: http://www.kenyaunlimited.com/aggregator/

From the SMS forum http://www.mashada.com/forums/kenya-2008/ : "This just goes to confirm how fragile how social fabric is. Within hours, neighbours have slashed each other, whole country is on fire. Why? Because 2 fellows hungry of power. Shortages have started biting. The small businesses are suffering and obvious the economy will suffer. Why? It is time to rise beyond these tribal lines. Development does not arise from looting and burning property. Whether Raila or Kibaki or Kalonzo or whoever became the president, it is the individual's effort that would put "ugali" on his table. Lets all ask our friends, families and Kenya as a whole to heal these wounds as a matter of urgency. Stop fighting, other things will follow." Mashada forum is doing a great job they are receiving sms news from the people on the ground (both SMS and voice messages) and post them at their website http://www.mashada.com/hotline.php

Peace Meetings

DennisKimambo in Nakuru Hello all Its sad what is happening in our country Kenya, hopefully peace will come back ts very sad what we are seeing in other parts of this county and our own town here in Nakuru, a good note to this side as we are all affected we carried out a meeting today with two ethnic groups that are both very much involved with what is happening and tension has been building up, at Free Area where most of the landlords are Kikuyu's and the Tenants Luo's we used magnet theatre to have a forum with them, and it was a very fired meeting as both side tried to prove that they are right in what is happening at the end of the day we all agreed that the leadership should help with the problem nationally but as locals staying here in Nakuru as neighbors they agreed to refrain from violence and they will hold the same meetings every 3 days just to help one another with the tension and console those who have lost there family in other parts of the country, this was possible with the help of the chief of the area, as we continue to push for peace we are asking you to pray for this country. Attached are 2 pics from the meeting
