Hello
Just saw your post..I live in Kenya and would like to update you on
the situation.
Currently the Coastal regions which include Mombasa are calm now and
the
situation is getting back to normal

Its in the Rift Valley province and Western Kenya where the trouble is
the worst
especially Naivasha area. Samburu and Amboseli regions are safe and I
havent seen
any violence going on in these areas.

I grew up in Nakuru town, home to Lake Nakuru National park. My
parents told me
that things have calmed down..its only in the village areas that we
have cases of violence
coming up

Looking at pictures on CNN or Aljezeera, one might think Kenya has
plunged into a full
scale civil war..i assure you its not..though i cant deny the violence
is there...but to be
very honest its selected regions that have been affected. Other parts
of the country
people are moving on
