This editorial in the New York Times is a good overview of what is happening here.
Things are turning ugly. There were demonstrations in Mombasa that ended in tear gas but didn't cause damage businesses or interfere with our daily lives much. I was in Bangladesh slum today. My clinic finished at 6:30pm. There are so many sick people who don't have anywhere else to go. This area will almost surly have violence when the election is rerun on the 26th. They want us to keep the clinic open to give first aid.
Amnesty International has reported that over 70 people have been killed in Kenya during this whole process and the rumors I am hearing are sickening. Unless the two big men talk to each other and try to work things out there will be a lot of chaos. Only nine days left till then.
