US Senate resolution passed unanimously!!

And now we need to build and sustain pressure on the State Department and the White House to implement its recommendations.

A tiny victory - but I needed that today. Lay awake all night thinking of 300,000 displaced, destitute, homeless. Towns I know burned and devastated. Close friends and colleagues in Kenya on assasination hit lists. A whole generation of young Kenyans imprinted beyond erasing with the experience of carnage. Even if all the violence stopped today, even if the roadmap to peace began this minute, it will take us decades just to return to where we were as a country on December 26th.

As someone said in one of the KPTJ meetings:

We will not see the repair in our lifetimes.


I'm crying as I type this.
