I read ,like and respect Arnos writing.The point i am trying to make is that Kenya has deep seated ethnic divisions which we must admit exist.This admission should form the basis of National reconciliation and healing

From my reading of his post i was of the opinion that he was arguing that the Kenya is not on the verge of collapse as protrayed by the Western Media

However I wanted to state that Kenya is in a very precarious position and may be on the verge of collapse.ln our middle class ”virtual reality’ to use a phrase i heard Mukhisa Kituyi use yesterday we might not want to believe this but this is a distinct possibity

I believe at this moment in time we should be honest with ourselves and confront our problems.

Just because something is not reported by the Kenyan press for reason that it might ignite passions does not mean that it did happen.

Aren’t you being too judgemental on Kenyan journalists .They also are sharp if not sharper.The only advantage is that Arno might have a clear view as he is an outsider looking in

Just because the Western press did not show us the images of dead people on 9/11 does not mean it not happen.

It does not also mean that they are applying double standards.If they show it may be it will make them intervene if we threaten to the Rwanda Way

I believe in the media telling it as it is and may be it will shock us back to our senses

PS:may be the post election violence has finally shown middle class Kenya the poverty in Kibera and other slums
