  These comments shows that some of the Kenyans have not yet changed or learned. There is a lot of hatred among them. This act can happen again. This is because some comments I have read shows mistrust lack of mercy and blame game instead of change and understanding of one another.

  I wonder how the persons who did this to these children in the name of "democratic protest" as a scholar colleague of mine put it are now feeling looking at the incomplete picture of their work? Did these children rig the elections? Will some of those rich politicians be moved to come and help correct what their acolytes did?

  This 'madness was not in the whole country. It was not in N Eastern, nor in Eastern, nor in Central. Yes there were protests in 'some' places against the 'rigged' elections in the Coast, in Western and in Nzanza. This 'madness' was in the Rift Valley against the 'riggers and voters' eg Anthony and Jedidah. Its sad Anto was thrown back into the fire and had to bite a 'protester' to run.

  As we usher the new year the images of this children do remind us of the ugly situation which came to be as a result of ignorance of our politicians. This picture will of course be a root of bitterness to some people. Let us know by helping this angles we cultivate the spirit of forgiveness which we need in this new year. By helping them we say no to the enemy which almost devoured our country.

  The scars on their faces and arms collaborated by their stories put to shame the leadership in Kenya. The Waki tribunal is even more urgent and necessary after seeing and listening to these victims of madness. When I imagine that some the people in Cabinet were behind this horrifying crime, I wonder what right these leaders to their titles. Shame on You All.

  Why Kiambaa Kiambaa. More than 400 Kenyans were killed by police several in Kibera sitting inside their tin walled houses, some burn in their houses alive but are we not always talking about this. This country needs healing but if we do it one sided then we land in the worst situating.
