Not even lake waters could calm battlefield at Karungu

Scenes of white birds hovering over the shores of the lake, occasionally scooping liberal helpings of omena from the drying fishnets are quite common. This picture of serenity is completed by teams of snorting piglets foraging for discarded omena by the shores, while a swarm of satiated birds perched on stationary boats, gently rock in the waves.

Although Karungu is currently a perfect picture of serenity, peace has been elusive in this area from the day the prophet who had magical powers foresaw the coming of traders.
