pit of my stomach

On 1/4/2008 By rob

Driving around today one might think things are progressing back to a form of normality. I just have this sick feeling in the pit of my stomach that it is not. Think it started when we walked into Nakumat, our local grocery store, and couldn’t find the majority of basic commodities such as bread, milk [...]

a breather

On 1/4/2008 By rob

Today has been peaceful enough, at least in this part of town. Talked with our guard again and he said he was able to get a good nights rest for the first time in several days.

Hadn’t planned [...]

On 1/2/2008 By rob

In our part of the city, things seem like they are getting a little bit back to normal. But folks are still making a run on the grocery store and stocking up on as much as possible. Vehicles are moving on the roads and people walking around, but only a trickle as compared to how [...]

Just saw this article in a local paper. Think BBC has picked it up too. 40+ people were burnt alive in a church in a town called Eldoret in the Rift Valley district. Mostly women and children taking refuge from violence that broke out there.

A friend of mine is [...]

house arrest

On 1/1/2008 By rob

we have now spent the last five days holed up in the house in front of the television. The first few days were by choice, as we watched the elections and the progression of events after that. The last few days we havn’t had much choice since the protests and riots started.
