Watch out for those who want to harm you

I am a blessed Kenyan. We are the most peaceful nation in the region and it has always been that way despite the recent terror attacks. Never been to war, both internal and external. Never been a refugee or been forced to be on the run. Born and raised at the coast, I have always taken things 'mos mos'.

Until April, 29, when I was rudely awakened by gun-wielding gangsters. Being tired from work, I had simply hopped on to a 6p.m. Simba Coach to Kampala from Kigali and like almost every passenger, was fast asleep when I heard the commotion, five minutes away from Masaka Town.
