Objet: URGENCE KENYA!

Comme vous le savez probablement, la crise actuelle au Kenya est sur le point de se transformer en guerre civile et déjà plusieurs observateurs parlent de génocide. Cette situation est similaire à plusieurs points au génocide du Rwanda de 1994, qui en l’espace d‘une semaine avait fait pratiquement un million de morts. Je suis sûr(e) que vous conviendriez avec moi que cette fois la communauté internationale doit s'assurer qu’un événement semblable ne se répétera pas une deuxième sous nos yeux. Je crois qu’il est nécessaire que chacun puisse faire tout en son pouvoir pour empêcher que la violence se propage davantage et de s'assurer que la paix revienne au Kenya le plus rapidement que possible. Je vous demande à titre de citoyen-ne du Canada et citoyen-ne du monde de faire tout ce que votre position vous permet de faire, en tant que Ministre des Affaires Extérieures, afin de sauver des vies et des kenyans.

Des dizaines de personnes meurent à chaque jour, ainsi une mesure doit être prise immédiatement. La violence s‘intensifie et malheureusement un véritable conflit risque d’éclater à tout moment et détruire des dizaines de milliers vies humaines. Encore fois, veuillez s’il vous plaît, empêcher que situation devienne catastrophique. Vous trouverez ci-joint la position du mouvement humaniste, qui je crois résume bien la situation actuelle et le besoin d‘actions immédiates. J'attends votre réponse et un bilan des actions que votre ministère ainsi que le gouvernement du Canada compte entreprendre dans les prochaines heures et les prochains jours.

Bien à vous,

Témoignages de Sarah et Vincent

The situation in Kenya is becoming hard and harder, most of the people are getting displaced,injured and others are killed by the police.Approximately 5 people are shot dead daily.
Life has become very expensive, there is food shortage and less money to purchase even though food stuff,I am appealing for support for our members here as who are really in hardship as you can see from our data, most of them are not employed and even those employed cannot now go to work,any help is highly appreciated.

Lastly, thank you so much for every support that you have already provided so far.

Big hug

Vincent

I never thought that I Sarah would be engaged with running battles with the police. And we did nothing. We were just at the wrong place at the wrong time.

So this whole tribalism affair makes me wonder why some guys decided to help us and evidently we were not from his tribe. Thats what makes me know that its just politics, beneath it all we are all human beings who need each other. To cut the long story short, getting back home was a nightmare. We met like six roadblocks with angry youths baying for kikuyu blood. I have never been so traumatized in my life. I saw death that day. You feel helpless, it does'nt matter who you are, where you come from, who you know, what you achieve.

My cousin's wife is a Meru and she's as light as they come. Do you know at some roadblock (the worstwe encountered) they demanded that she gets out because she was akiuk? It took God and the driver we had to stop their madness coz they tried opening the door but it refused to budge and the driver was akalenjin he convinced them that he knew her. Still, the mat left us at some point when it cited the next roadblock.It was much much larger and he said he could'nt risk going further. We had to walk through the hilly forest....with kids!!!!!!...and all around you just see GSU trucks heading into town. Then there were some nandi guyz who were armed with bows, arrows and spears who were descending into town. We met some NYS guys who told us to run from that place as far away as possible.

Heading to the police station were women and children, with what ever belongings they could carry. The men stayed behind to protect their property. Just as we were leaving the nandis emerged from the forestand attacked the police station......I saw it with my own eyes but nothing was said on news.

That night our local towns (Turbo and Mautuma) were blazing with fireand filled with screams. They burnt, they stole, they murdered. All because we are fighting for 'democracy' but not asking ourselves in the first place what sort of true leaders would unleash on our normal lives this anarchy and lawlessness. Even then the highway from Nakuru to Eldoret is unexplainable. No words can describe the black shells that tell the remains of a car,the cut down trees on the side of the road to indicate a roadblock,the fileds of maize that were still smouldering with smoke, the flattened shopping centres of burnt mabati as people rummage forwhatever left, the countless of innocent Kenyans that literally fill very church compound with fear and suspicion in their eyes.....all this in the samae country that was Kenya a few weeks before.

I stopped being mad. This nation is full of individuals who will sell it to the highest bidder, individuals who would rather see people die rather than step down from power, individuals who would rather not accept defeat if they are not the winner. I conclude we are cursed.Victims of our own doing, puppets of the elite. We kill each other while they watch the action on news. We have to constantly check our backs, coz you never know when the police will come.....and worst of all we are judged by our names adn not by our personality. And this is the place we call home. We have nowhere else to go.

See you later Sarah
