Call For Peace In Kenya
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Hi? Iwould like to share tihs message from a mnember of ABC4ALL addressed to all Kenyans and the rest of the world.Peace be with you all:

Like you I am seriously concerned about the deteriorating situation in
Kenya. The violence must stop. As we wait on the government, the opposition
and world leaders to respond to our urgent call to end the violence in
Kenya, I believe we can and must do something on our own, just in case their
intervention comes too late. We must continue to demand they take action but
I wonder if we should put our hopes in them as they are the very people
whose greed for power and poor judgment is the cause of these grievances. It
is our fellow ordinary citizens, friends, family and neighbors that are
dying or killing, burning the country or could be victims or potential
victims of the situation. We must do whatever we can to prevent another
Liberia or Rwanda in Kenya. Let us not take this situation for granted at
all. Rwanda should remind us of what could happen within less than 24 hours
of mayhem.

Here are some simple actions you can and must take:

· + You must resolve as an individual not to participate in,
instigate or entertain any form of violence whatsoever. Encourage and insist
that everyone you know do same.

· + I just composed a text message that I sent to all Kenyan friends
in my phonebook, which I have asked them to forward to every Kenyan they
know. Please type this as a text message and forward to all the people you
know in Kenya. Here is the message *"Read/Forward to every Kenyan u kno: I
have personally RESOLVED NOT TO participate, instigate or condone any form
of violence. I want u & every1 u kno to do same. The violence must STOP"*

· + Call, text or email someone you know and encourage them to make
it their duty to seek/ maintain peace around them as much as they can. They
should talk to friends and family.

+ And of course those of us (home and abroad) who are still senselessly
provoking or justifying mayhem through list-serves, blogs or circulating
mails must reason up.

I am so frustrated right now. These are just some quick ideas that came to
me sitting here watching these unfortunate development on CNN and BBC. I am
not a Kenyan but a fellow African. I visited Kenya twice in 2008 and I think
you have a wonderful country. I ask you to do this for your country Kenya
and for our Africa. After all, a leaders who chose to put their greed for
power above the welfare of his people and peace of his country is not
worth being a leader and certainly not worth dying for.......


Peace,

my prayer is that kenyan's and other people around the world put their differences aside and strive towards peace. I pray that the leaders of the country and those who have large influence use their position to ignite peace instead of violence. We've seen too many times around the world how political violence is capable of dividing a countries people.....i pray that kenya does not follow those footsteps.
